You have to keep the lighting from changing--so no outside light as that will constantly fluctuate. Then you have to place each reader where the screen is in exactly the same position, one at a time of course. Unless you have a professional studio, most of us don't, we can't take these kinds of photos. And even the pros would probably see a lot of variances between photos of even the same reader.
Agreed - side by side is actually the worst way to do a compare, because the light sources will never be the same. From what I can gather so far, they sound very similar.
