I just got my DS Lite earlier this week, and its probally my favourite video game system now. I havn't been much of a nintendo fanboy recently, more of a Sony and Xbox fanatic, but after playing one of my friend's DSs I decided I really wanted one. I so far got Nintendogs, New Super Mario Bros, and Animal Crossing. I think that my childhood nintendo fanboy has came back, and same with my girlfriends, sisters, parents and brothers old love for the systems.
I can't say my experience is typical, because one is a pretty small sample size. I bought a ds lite on the 11th to replace my old ds. Im currently on my fourth. The first three ds lites I got all had bad pixels. I will say now that I finally have one with good screens that I absolutely love it. The colors are so much more vivid that I'm enjoying playing games I havent touched in months.
The mic is pretty sensitive, so I usually just use headphones if I need to hear sounds and it would be rude to use the speakers (which in those cases, it would be bad to be speaking into a game as well probably).

I had this problem with my old DS fat. I no longer have any discomfort issues with the Lite.
