I have about 1/4" to 1/2" +/- of what I call "shadowing" from the LEDs on my PW2s. At some settings it's better and others it's worse - I use (and this is new over my PW1) a 16 in the living room now, whereas before I always had to use a setting of 19 or 20. Because it's at the bottom and I rarely look there while reading, I don't really notice it until I turn my PW sideways on the stand (to keep it from falling on my dog's head when I knock it with my hand). The screen on both PWs is so nice, very similar to the bottom of the KV I first received, that I hardly even see it. I have never read so comfortably. The screens are amazing and I never feel eye fatigue like I did with my KV.

I don't read with the light off, so cannot comment on that other than to say that it makes sense that with the light off the shadowing would be gone.
