In any case, I have photos of my older DX at http://bit.ly/dxpics and wonder how these seem to you, relative to the Graphite you bought. I've seen pictures of other DX's the fonts of which seem less vivid to me and then there are other other older DX's that look pretty good even against the Graphite in photo comparisons except there is less contrast between the background and foreground when you see them together, which I guess is due to blacker blacks and minimally lighter background from what I can see in photos.
Thanks for your review, which is so thorough on PDF viewing.

It's honestly very hard for me to tell from your pictures. The contrast is much better looking in your pictures than in almost every DX 1st gen I have seen. I would say that the screen looks lighter on the Graphite but at the end of the day, I cannot say with any certainty as there are so many variables when trying to photograph black levels and contrast.
Wish I could have been more help.
