There are a lot of variables and differences that can be affecting the display of fonts, including firmware.
The funny thing is when I got my last PW1, the one I ended up keeping, and compared to all the other PW1's I still had at the time, the screen seemed quite yellow. My original PW1's all had very blue screens in comparison. Then when I got the PW2 wow it was SO yellow it made my PW1 look blue! Crazy. I'll be curious to see what happens next year with the PW3.
