COLOR TEST <- I dug up this old link we used during the PW1 debacle, which helped us establish that we all have varying degrees of color perception. It's a fun test.


@Harry, thank you for posting a picture. I can see a gradient that is in line with all the devices I have seen so far: warm top, cold bottom. I am attaching a picture that mirrors top and bottom, not sure if you will be able to see the difference, and I rather hope you won't, since you are happy with your KV, and that's all that matters. I will say that yours look to me much, much better than any of the screens I've had.

Because honestly, in that picture, I am just not seeing any pink/blue tones. At all.
Do the test!
Just because you can't see the color variation, doesn't mean that my brain tricks me into seeing anything. I received my first KV, opened the package, and called customer service right away. The colors were right in front of me, and that's before I heard that others received equally colored screens.
