Saw a friend's Kindle Touch yesterday and put it side by side with K3. Hardly saw any difference. Both sharp and crisp.
From what I personally see, nobody is lying. Certainly Amazon has great problem in quality control. Lucky guys get the good Kindle and unlucky guys bad ones. How many lemons are there in the market? I don't know.

I've come across & examined 2x K3, 2x K4, and 4x K4 Touch. So far their screens in terms of contrast have been pretty consistent. Although 2 of which have a slightly greener hue than the others, and one K3 had a lighter black.
As some others has mentioned before, make sure you swap their positions around when you compare them, that makes a big difference.
I have not seen a single pair of identical screens when i put them side by side and eyeballing them. The screens always look identical in terms of their position, but not devices.
If you've done the above comparison in your normal reading light and still find your new K4 noticeably worse, exchange it. Amazon's return/exchange policy is so good that their representative almost encourage it when I talked them.
