I'm glad shinew has gone to all this trouble. The information provided is good because it is easy to get caught up in the personal perceptions of reviewers. It's definitely the case that many reviewers have been giving the impression that the new model has a generally lower quality screen with all the speculation about display grades and Amazon cutting corners to reduce costs. I should also know better than to trust side-by-side photographs.
The bad reviews on Amazon might represent 90% of those with problems while the good reviews represent 10% of those totally happy with the device. Add to that the common habit of some people to give something a low rating for things that have nothing to do with the product itself.

It's quite valid to point out that the numbers don't support the perception. It is a good counterpoint to the complaints and particularly helpful to those of us who were considering buying the product, but were perhaps being put off by the creation of the perception that there is a widespread issue with the product, that it's display is generally substandard.
