All the screens come out of the same manufacturing plant. The screens show show some variation where the "white" background is slightly whiter on some screens but the "blacks" are also slightly less black. All of the screens have the same contrast ratio and that is not affected by the display controller. All the controller can do is give a fixed number of shades of gray. IIRC, the Kindle one has 4 shades, the later Kindles and Sonys have 8 shades. That doesn't affect the contrast just the number of gray tones that can be rendered.

I'm not exactly an ereading device hoarder. I've gifted family members with a good part of my collection.  I'm still looking for the perfect device. |

Just came across this and wanted to correct one thing -- the Kindle 2 and the Kindle DX's actually have 16 levels of gray.
You can see what the differences in output are
