The dingy screen means there is less contrast between screen and text and thus causes the text to appear less dark (lighter). The result is that my text looks thin, light, and washed out. In this situation the text might appear to be fuzzy to some from a distance, it certainly does to me. But it is our eyes and brain making an incorrect interpretation of what we see. I found that making the text bold helps significantly.
Yes, I think that is it exactly. This was my experience too. I hadn't thought to use an embedded font as you mentioned on another thread, I am sure that would have helped. I really wish we could use our own fonts on the PW2.
