Seems Aluratek chooses to show/photograph their product in the best possible light (pun intended). I'm pretty sure there are a few other businesses out there that take the same or similar approach in marketing their product/service.
Here's an instance of the screen color quickly changing from darkish through a variety of white shades to a more silver-ish color as the reviewer tips the device sideways to demonstrate "landscape mode" at around the 3:52 to 3:55 minute mark:

On my box cover (and in all photos on their site), the screen is shown as ranging diagonally from "glare white" to a darker off-white or grey shade. Admittedly, in the lighting conditions I usually read by (not a professionally lit studio) the darker shade more accurately reflects my experience, (and I prefer it that way).
So yeah, marketers stretch their "truth" - who knew?
Have a look at this still from the video at the 5:14 minute mark, and compare the box image to the "real thing"...
