I've sent my 1DX into to Canon because the focus points/screen in the viewfinder are misaligned from the actual AF points.
Reading these threads on CR, it appears that I have a misaligned Transmissive LCD:

I wrote a detailed letter indicating to Canon what the problem is and that the Transmissive LCD needs adjusting, showing both a diagram of the focus point misalignment as well as pictures of the focus points in LiveView and the ViewFinder not aligning.
I received the following email from Canon:
"we don't have anything remotely going by the name "transmissive lcd" in the photography world, I have to give the tech more descriptive information that we are used to using here. I googled "transmissive lcd" to find out what it is you had in mind, and the closest thing that comes to that is the focusing screen that you see through the viewfinder. Built into that screen is what we consider an "SI Plate" (Super impose) which is what you are seeing when the red lights appear to show you where your focusing point is.
I have adjusted the notes to the tech, but I am also including a schematic I would like you to take a look at. It is a break down of the inside of the camera showing the viewfinder assembly (pentaprism) and the placement of the focusing screen. If you would like me to add more details, I would really appreciate it if you could reference what you are seeing in this diagram, it would be beyond helpful."
If Canon doesn't know what the Transmissive LCD is, then going by the camera schematic attached, what can I tell them to adjust?
