A few seconds before the end, it looks like the person who shot this video disabled the backlight (or frontlight ?); then the screen looks quite dark, and the colors are not attractive anymore.
This happens at about 1:20 and 1:48. What impresses me is how white the background looks when the frontlight is turned off. Note that the middle is dark because of the shadow of the person filming.

What this video does seem to show (from reflections on the unit) is that they seem to have put a sheet of glass over the entire front of the unit. I wonder if this was necessary for the front light, or just a design decision.

I would expect that the front glass adds a bit to the weight. I think I'd prefer a model without glass or front light. But perhaps it's because the screen itself isn't sturdy enough to be directly touched?

All details that I'm sure will come out over the next few weeks, but it's fun speculating.
