Good point whether the blog post is legitimate or not. I thought briefly about that aspect, too, but was more excited about the idea of an overall improvement.

And I did observe after posting that later reviews not only failed to notice the improvement in the T2 but made a point of reporting that the contrast was the same as the T1's. We're always hearing about contrast variability in Pearl screens. Perhaps the WSJ reviewer got an especially good one.
