Definitely this. Though it's not just that the people who find them noticeable are a minority, it's also the amount of people who are happy enough to settle on one that's still far from perfect but maybe not too bad (which I personally wouldn't after parting with over £100!). But apart from that, inherent in the design or not, there are plenty of very acceptable PW's out there, despite some people posting on here about going through countless replacements.
At times it feels as if some people are being hyper critical, really looking for faults. I can see colour hues, dark shadowing etc in some of the photos people have posted, but some I don't see anything wrong with. Plus, any PW I've seen in the flesh (only about 6 or 7 to be fair), have looked pretty good to me.
Also, by hyper critical I mean if you compare it to how opinion of the Kobo Glo differs. The vast majority seemed really happy with the Glo when it was first released, the slight blue tinge to the light was pointed out but no one seemed to find it much of a problem. Then I read how newer versions are much better because the light doesn't have as much of a blue tinge. If that had been the PW I think we'd have been hearing loads of complaints about it?!
