My guess is that it might just be a sample-to-sample difference, but it's concerning for those of us who highly value a lighter background and higher contrast.

No, it's not a sample effect; it is the result of smaller pixels.
That same effect is what led to the complaints about the iRiver reader.

The smaller pixels make the text sharper by slightly reducing the black surface area of the characters. That makes the text look lighter. The same thing happened with PC displays in the migration from VGA to XGA. A lot of folks resorted to slightly darker fonts like New Century Schoolbook to make up the difference.
Sounds like Sony didn't hand tweak the fonts like the eee-vile ones do.
