viewing angle washout

[switchthreesixty]

I've noticed that the screen washes out with very little screen tilt.
If it is perfectly perpendicular to my eyes it is great. But, move ever so slightly the whites turn more grey and loses a fair amount of brightness.
I've had previous tablets and haven't noticed this much of a washout with such a little tilt in the viewing angle.
Is this standard for the surface 2? Or is it my unit? Again, it is a subtle thing, but I notice it for sure and it particularly is bothersome because of how much white is utilized on this device and that interaction with the screen is the most important thing.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I havent notice any issues on my surface 2 of the viewing angle being wash out.

Me neither. Angles are great.

Sounds like a badly calibrated screen - I'd return it.
