The text on my K3 and DXG almost jump off the screen (like the Sony one someone posted earlier) and I can read either in very low light conditions. The K4 background is much grayer and I need pretty strong lighting in order to read it ok.

Talked to CS and I'm returning/exchanging it. Hope my next one is better. If not, I'll ask for a refund.

In my opinion, either the new K4 screens are a lower quality screen, or there is a problem with the current 4.0x firmware. In any case I think Amazon is going to have to address this problem soon. You'd think that they could at least pre-view these K4 units before they ship them out, lol!

cheers,

I think it is more like a bad batch going around. I find those who buy theirs are Best Buy have gotten better luck than those who got theirs from Amazon.
