This!
My first k3 had a screen that was coming unglued from the bezel. The replacement amazon sent me had an un-uniform background. One side was darker than the other.
My brother's k3 had text that faded toward the right side, that is, the letters toward the right margin weren't as dark as ones in the center and left edge.
So there's a bit of variance with these displays, and we shouldn't jump to conclusion based on a few samples. You may get lucky and get a particularly good unit, or not.
Of course this does not preclude amazon tweaking the display or software to make it look better somehow.
