Bought two Kindles (for my wife and me): hers was near perfect, mine not so much. So I got a replacement. In the attached photo, left to right:
- My 1st PW (batch 603): low contrast, uneven lighting at the bottom, more blotchiness, one bad pixel (that I've noticed), one sparkle (that I've noticed), harsh (bluish) hue
- My 2nd PW (batch 603): excellent contrast, uneven lighting at the bottom, harsh (bluish) hue, case slightly misaligned near bottom
- Her PW (batch 503): excellent contrast, mostly uniform lighting, warm (yellowish) hue
Not all of that is evident in the photo.
I'm deciding whether to try for a 3rd for myself. On the one hand it'd be nice if mine had more even lighting and warmer tones like my wife's. On the other hand, it's pretty good as is (better than my 1st PW).
