Definitely this, and the fuzziness of the light layer did effect the lightness of the screen as well. I remember putting my Kindle PW2 against the Kindle Keyboard it was replacing, and the screen of the KK did look a little whiter, the text blacker and sharper. Only when the light was at its lowest on the PW though, as soon as the light was on, the PW screen looked better.
Particularly when the lighted readers were first released there were lots of people who didn't upgrade because of this (and there are still some now, I know one of them personally
).
I agree it's not so much the case now, I compare my Voyage to a KK now and the Voyage is so much better looking. I still read occasionally on my Kobo Mini, and I hate the greyness of the screen!
