But they don't. 11.5:1 vs 10:1 is a huge difference in contrast. Kobo Glo has the same contrast ratio as the +3 year old Kindle DX. That's just terrible.

Pointless. Does not change the contrast ratio. But here you go:

See the images above. Look at the washed out blacks and ghosting on the Kobo and look at the deep blacks on the Kindle and Sony.

For info:

weight the text, Georgia, as full dial

Sharpness - full dial
Weight, different fonts etc. does not change the contrast ratio of the screen.
