blurred fonts on some devices

Did I forget something? What is the probability of getting one/more of those faults at the same time (rhetorical question)

Really. I long for a new shiny ereader toy to play with but PW, well not now... and why do I rant (again)? Because I wanted to buy it and everytime I consider again there comes another bomb.
I added two more, and, yes, the 8 that turned on when I received them (one was dead on arrival) had a combination of problems.
  • color bruising (unacceptable for some)
  • dead pixels
  • unaligned screen
  • hairline in the screen
  • pixelated line of text (as per another thread)
  • blurred fonts on some devices
  • Smudges between the screens
  • Artifacts stuck underneath the screen

Thing is, the most likely defect they will have is crazy color blobs, so you could give it a shot, since you may not even detect them unless you have good color vision.
