Between 7 and 10 I noticed the screen background was more of a light cream color (not the blue hue i see in lighted rooms), and the background dinginess was not as evident. If I could get my eyes to read in a dark room with so much contrast between a bright screen background and darkness, it would be nearly perfect. For my eyes though I needed to turn on a dim lamp to keep the eyestrain from occurring.
I use 8 for all light settings on my PW1 I found if I turn it down any more that that I got eye strain. If I make it brighter than that I get eye strain. It's just the way my eyes are though. However after the last firmware update on the PW1 my light settings seem to have change 8 has become 5. No one else has reported this change but I know I could never read on 5 for a year then the firmware update and suddenly 8 is too bright.

If you can read with it in the dark then it's a keeper!
