sorry for hijacking PW2 thread for a moment.

Yes second picture looks very close to reality and better in person with light at full blast. The first picture is not so good, in reality font is sharp and dark grey. My camera couldn't focus properly I guess. 12 is what I use in pitch black room and then the yellow tint kicks in, which is quite comfortable at night. I read at 18 in the evening in bright lit room but I can read at 24 with no problem. My PW has much lower light setting than average from what I read here. I could never use it at 3 or 4 in darkness. I don't have problems with my eyes.

I may attempt to take close up of text at 12 but it takes forever to capture what it really looks like.
