I certainly can't tell much (if any) difference between my daughter's PW1 and my PW2014 when the screen light it off. But my PW2014 is a bit faster in operation than the PW1.
I'll have to get some comparison images at 0 light, 5, 10, 15, and 20. Up until about light level 8, I'd say the PW1 is whiter than my PW2014. After level 8, I'd say my PW2014 is whiter. But I don't need a bright light in daylight. No light will do. So I rarely need more than level 10 or 12 and often less.

I compared my PW from 2013 to the recent PW from 2014 in best buy and also recently with a friend's PW 2014 and to me there is a noticeable difference in the screen with the new PW 2014. It has slightly better contrast than the PW from last year. I think it's honestly very comparable to the voyage to my eyes, but the voyage is slightly sharper and crisper. I don't think it's by a whole lot though, imo.
The screen is also very even and clean on the new 2014 models. While my PW from 2013 is excellent, I know this was not the case for all of them, having seen more than a few of them via exchanges and also pics on the board. The new PW 2104 definitely looks improved to my eyes.
