Screen has darkening Yellow Band around entire screen

Many many many of us are experiencing this. Did I say 'many'? There are a number of threads on this issue and most have found that Tesla is no longer replacing the screens until a newly designed screen is finished, supposedly in the mid-year time frame.
In the interim, you can try doing what a number of us have, put the display in night mode where the yellow banding is not scene. I actually prefer the look of it now, but at the very least your eyes aren't drawn to the ugly yellow discoloration.

Based on a simple search of "yellow band" produces NUMEROUS results. So to answer your question, Yes.
I am curious, when was the last time someone had their defective screen with a yellow border replaced under warranty?
I’ll email the admin because clearly by the existence of this post the search function isn’t working

lots of posts and on reddit have shown they are still doing some...but the word is they are not replacing them anymore.

The new part, Revision -C (1084333-00-C) (note that's the screen not the entire MCU) is not supposed to yellow. Previous versions from Mid-2016 on were 1084333-00-A and 1084333-00-B. MCU touchescreens prior to Mid-2016 had a different part number all together (These were the leaking screens.)
Tesla is charging customers to replace this screen. It is $1100 for the part and $189 for labor, plus tax. They are charging me to do so today, but I do not want the yellowing and the other options seem to be half-baked, not definite and no timeframe. So it's not good; but the car is not even 6 months old and it having the screen looking like this isn't something I'm comfortable with.
The whole thing sours my opinion on Tesla quite a bit, since they should be fixing this, but at this point it's their way or the highway; i'd rather my car not look like junk, so I gave in, uncomfortably.

So if what the tech is telling you is accurate, then the story I got from my SC is inaccurate. I was told I could pay for the screen, but they still don't have the new screens in yet and the replacement will almost surely yellow. Once again, no consistency in the story and we just don't know who to believe. It's really abysmal.
I find it hard to believe they are currently shipping cars with defective screens that will yellow so they must have a solution to the display yellowing defect.
Unless this is properly fixed, this will cause needless depreciation for the car of anyone affected.

How can they get away with charging for a warrantied part?? Illegal!
I’m sure I can find detailed copy of my vehicles original warranty. July 2018 100D.
In Ontario, Can we also have tight consumer protection with respect to auto.

Our new MS has had the band since Day 1 (December, 2018). I didn't reach out to my tech as I read here that they were redesigning the part. I just reached out to my tech to see if he can put my name on one. We'll see what he says.
But I will absolutely not pay for this. It's defective, the car is under warranty.
Cosmetic issues that alter use of the car or greatly affect the appearance of the car due to defects in materials or workmanship are covered under the warranty. What if your white exterior paint or white seats turns yellow in some areas after 6 months of normal use? That would be covered under the warranty. This is no different.
Despite all we are hearing I am certain Tesla will do the right thing and replace the displays under warranty, as they should.
