Sounds like you guys at least have the same amount of blue on the entire screen  |
I noticed some color splotching on my first PW2 and also some on my PW1, but on my replacement PW2 I haven't noticed significant color splotching, but there is some (much less than on the two previous devices mentioned) brightness unevenness of course. In the low light when the page seems quite blue, I don't see any other colors but there is some light unevenness even then. The splotching being a layer alignment/positioning/variance issue, maybe also affected by LED light variances, I can see how it could be different from unit to unit and depending on ambient circumstances.
Overall, the unevenness - whatever it is - in the replacement PW2 has crossed a mental threshold for me and even though I can see it when I want to, usually when I read I won't be bothered by it - unlike on the previous two units.
A much bigger problem with PW2 for me is the fact that it still looks like "one more screen in my day" as bounce so eloquently put it. Basic Kindles don't look like a screen, they look more like printed text.
