Every single Oasis I have seen seems to have a grayer tone to the fonts, which has held me at bay from an outright purchase. This makes me wonder whether Amazon has changed their quality control or have cuts costs in manufacturing while increasing the price of upgraded models.
My theory is it's the lighting on the Oasis that washes out the text.

When I put my Oasis and Voyage side by side with the light set all the way to 0, the screens are the same — text is equally sharp and black.

When I start to turn up the light, the text on the Oasis becomes increasingly washed out, more and more gray the higher the light setting. It's like the light layer clouds the screen. This doesn't happen with the Voyage, which stays sharp and black.
