I spent some time fiddling with a 505 and 700 @ Tysons Corner VA today and you can immediately see the difference. The 700 is slightly yellow, dimmer and maybe a little fuzzy or matted. They don't have any good chairs there so you can't sit & read for an hour. I'm wondering if it'll matter for long reads though?
Its obvious side by side but the color & dimness are small differences like a textbook vs. a pulp newspaper. Any idea if the slight "fuzziness" matters after a long read?
The 700 does work very nice, good riddance to the 0-9 buttons.
