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.

I am near sighted with a left astigmatism. I am very sensitive to bright lights and sun lights and have alot of floaters in both eyes. So I guess I am more sensitive to things.
I can tell you after using the Fire all day then trying to go back the K4 was really tough to do. At first I couldn't read it at all. The screen look brown like it was tarnished and the text muddle in with it. It was very ugly. I had to ask my hubby if he saw gray because I had to know is it just me or is something wrong with it. He said yes it looks gray. *phew* I took my book light on it and it looked okay again still the text looks worse in bright light but I was amazed at the change in my perception since using the Fire.
