They all are I think. When I first turned my new Voyage on to do the initial setup, it displayed the iconic Kindle scene of person reading under a tree. The bottom half of the image is all black. I tilted the Voyage all around to look at the inside bevel edges to see where the LCDs were located. I saw a slight reflection of 6 LCDs across the bottom of the bezel, but none anywhere else. I have not been able to see them with just text displayed. But my point is that the screen is lit from the bottom upward. That is NEVER going to work well as the light is going to dissipate on the way to the top leaving the bottom bright and blue tinted and the top dim and cream or yellow tinted. The light layer also causes a shadowy or cloudy effect on about the upper 1/3 of the screen. It is much better than the random splotching of the PW1, about the same as the PW2, but way below the level Amazon should have achieved on their third attempt. Perhaps lighting an eInk screen is never going to work well since it has to be front lit rather than back lit. I don't know, but I am frustrated that my Nexus 7 and iPad mini Retina and iPhone 5 all look good anywhere on the screens, but eInks that are front lit look like poop.
