Not knowing what procedure is used when calibrating these displays at the factory, it is possible that some kindles either were not tuned correctly, or deviate too far from others in the batch to look good with a "typical" set of tuning parameters (IF that is how they are done).

Perhaps somebody at amazon or lab126 can enlighten us on why *some* kindles may have inferior quality compared to others (if they have been tested properly).
That would make sense about a batch using the same parameters instead of individually. I call it a bad batch. I've had mine since it was released. I got it from Amazon. The first one was much much worse. It looked Vizplex. So I kept this one in fear of getting a worse one than my first one. Maybe I shouldn't have settled.
