However their ignorance should prove the level of their knowledge of the topic.

He'd already mentioned contrast and brightness settings, of course.

And for the record, adjusting those settings is exactly what I do on with the AMOLED screen when using the Kindle app on my two-year-old smartphone. I suspect nearly everyone does this.
