My new/replacement screen has the yellow band now (again). I guess I'll have it swapped AGAIN at next service visit...

I just noticed it with the 2018.34.1 update. Strange that I just noticed it after getting a software update.
I'm getting increasingly worried about this. It seems like a regular occurrence that the replacement screen also goes yellow. And the MCU/screen change is not a cost you want to take on outside of warranty I'm sure.
But I travel a lot and am nearing the end of my warranty. I hope Tesla will make good on their screen if it yellows again, out of goodwill, as it is becoming more and more documented that the replacement screens yellow out as well, and thus I don't want to be stuck having to cover the replacement costs while Tesla is installing replacements going rapidly out of spec.

Nope. Had my MCU2 screen (March, 2018 build) replaced this week. My February 2013 Model S's screen was rock sold for the 5 years I owned it. Seems to be a more recent issue.

Let's play jeopardy
I just noticed this the last week on my similar Model S75D Feb 2018 build. I'm kinda pissed to be honest, even if it doesn't cost me anything to get it replaced. I don't want it to fail again in a year or two or three when it would cost me $1000+.
In a similar vein, whats the best way to set up an appointment for them to come out and fix this? I have to be at work before the Service Center opens each day and can't leave to drop off my car
I've had the yellow lines develop and have been in contact with the local SC, who told me last month they would order the part and make an appointment. After sending them an e-mail asking if the part was expected to arrive soon, I was told "The display is ordered, but a new part does not exist yet. Engineering is working on a solution where your issue will not reappear, which is why we prefer not to simply exchange your display for the same quality."
It sounds like Tesla may be looking into a more permanent fix to this problem (as opposed to changing every affected owner's screen every year or so)..

same here in Switzerland as well: they recorded my case but will wait to have a definitive solution before working on it.

Just joined the club with MCU1.
Asked for a swap for MCU2 we'll see how it goes. I don't want a screen replacement if it is just a short term fix.

September 2017 Delivery, custom build (MCU1) - Just noticed the lovely burnt crust look on the MCU screen after v9 upgrade. Guessing it is much more noticeable with V9 since Navigation is fixed in the background all the time now (lighter colors) causing it to stand out.
