It seems that you did not get what I was saying in my previous post. I don't need to prove anything(just to be clear we're talking about factual statement and not personal opinions). The validity of the argument of whether the newer screen is the same or worse is not 50/50. It is given that they are the same screen unless it's proven otherwise. Why? Because it's Amazon's device and they say so.

I don't see why this is hard to understand but here is an analogy if it helps:
you tell me that your right ear can't hear anything, then I say "yes you can, you're lying". Does it make sense for you to have to prove to me that you really can't hear anything in your right ear for your claim to be valid? of course not! Unless I find away to prove that you're lying, your claim is true & valid. So is Amazon's. Does it make sense now?

I'll go on believing my lying eyes. And those of two other people IRL who complained to me about the same thing UNPROMPTED. Considering I only know three with a KT, that's not a good %age.

That's perfectly fine and it's entirely valid opinions , and your eyes might or might not be lying. I've repeated again and again that everyone's entitled for their opinions and they should do whatever they feel is right. If you're not happy with it, return it, or not... up to you.

Even if the screen really are the same, the fact that people perceive a difference because if the bevel or whatever IS a problem. Telling them it's just their brain fooling them is as productive as saying "don't hold it that way". At least "don't hold it that way" is a workaround .

That's putting words in my mouth.
Despite some people's claims which are inconsistent with what amazon says as well as some of our own findings, I've not told anyone that his/her perception of the actual screen is false I've simply offered some possible explanations which have been proven to affect visual perception, they maybe true in your case, maybe not.

The only thing I've pointed out as false as some have believed to be true is that, vast majority of the photographs(including the one I've shown before as an example) comparing 2 screens and claiming to prove something, indeed does not prove anything. That's not an opinion, it's a fact.
