Again, my Nexus 7 is easier on my eyes than the PW at max light.
Also, I have to return not just my first unit, but three. Others returned more than one unit as well. Since this poll won't allow for multiple returns, you are seeing skewed numbers. Additionally, I have three bad units but could only submit one 1 star review, so people should take this into account as well.

The key is the light does wash out the defects at high levels. It also makes the screen very bright and white. I have no problems reading at high PW light settings in dark rooms or bright sunlight. However, the eyes of all of us are quite different.
Since so many defective screens are being shipped, I'd recommend just getting a refund and waiting to December to order a PW again. I'm confident by then Amazon will have corrected this problem.
I remember my old Kindle Kbd WiFi having shorting problems which were not correctly diagnosed and corrected by Amazon until THREE MONTHS after its release.
