I took a glance at the KT reviews on amazon. Just from the first two pages, I saw 3, 4 reviews complaining about the screen being grayer / having less Contrast than the k3. Even one from a person who gave it five stars.
So i think something is different with the screen, but perception varies.
When I first got my iPad 2, I noticed right away the white was yellow, and the brightness was uneven, the center was brighter than the edges. I think this is called hotspotting. My ipad 1 has more neutral white, with no hotspotting. Yet when I showed it to other people they said it looked alright. When I pointed out the difference they reluctantly admitted yeah that's a little more yellow but it looks okay. I took it to the apple store and the csr said well it looks ok to me, maybe a little different, but if it bothers you, we'll exchange it for you. I was like are you people all blind, or trying to gaslight me? The difference just jumped out at me. I looked at the other iPad 2s at the store and yes the white was a little warmer compared to the iPad 1, but not excessively yellow like mine. So I exchanged it.
The irony is my vision going by the eye chart is way worse than everybody else who looked at my iPad. My brother said for someone blind as a bat you sure are picky.
Point is, different people are sensitive to different things. I'm staying away from the k4 b/c I just know I will notice any tint or grayer screen like a fighting bull seeing a waved cape.
