I don't see any difference between the start up times (sleep/off) of my K3 and my wife's K3. I does take longer to shut down - about 5 seconds.

When we got our K3s last year there was talk about the white appearing to have better contrast than the graphite model. Since we had one of each I thought I would take a look.I put them side by side under the kitchen florescent lights where I cast no shadow. I didn't see any difference after very close examination (same book - same settings).

Since I always turn mine off and my wife always puts hers to sleep, I thought I would recheck to see if this could have a bearing on discrepancies that others have found between the K3 and K4. My K3 (always off) now has a brighter background than my wife's (always put to sleep). I looked at them under same conditions as I did last year.

I have a K4 on the way and will put all three side by side and see what it looks like when it gets here.
