Hi,
spatial color unevenness in screens is a quite well known display
defect. One of
the specifications of higher quality screens is improved spatial screen
uniformity,
and many of these displays take technical measures to ensure uniformity, such
as spatial calibration systems.
(I'm not sure x,y values are a good way of evaluating non-uniformity, since they
do not correlate to visual differences. Delta E is a better measure in this
regard.)
There are various industry standard methods and thresholds for display
uniformity
measurement, such as VESA and ISO standards.
