It's just the luck of the draw and the same thing happened with my Sony 350s without a light... all of them had varying degrees of different screen colors. So you probably got a tint on your H2O that you like, but easily could have gotten a more bluish color. And the Glo HD as well could have a more beige or sepia coloring rather than the "tad more bluish" that rashkae reported.

Hmmm I am aware that it's kind of luck of the draw when it comes to getting good/bad/different ereader screens of the same make and model. However it is also true that the majority of reviewers and users on mobileread made a special point of noting that their Aura H2O screen was distinctly more yellow in tone than other ereaders. Which leads me to believe that yes, variations in screens are widespread but the Kobo design/engineering team made a specific decision to provide the Aura with screens with a yellow tint.
It was, in fact, after reading such a review and then going back to my book on my Glo (my glo in particular had a very pronounced clinical, cold blue colour to it, like a UV light lol) that make me upgrade to the Aura.
Also if I rember correctly, the flat panelled Aura also had a creamier tint to it. I'm starting to think that maybe the Glo's have a different flagship screen to the Aura range maybe. Time will tell but for now I'm sticking with my H2O.
