Hi all,

Coming from a Voyage and a soon-to-be-traded in Oasis 1, I received my Oasis 3 today. It's my understanding the Voyage has 6 lights, the Oasis 1 had 10, and the Oasis 3 has 25, many of them in use for the warm light feature.

The screen on my Oasis 3 is excellent, and on full brightness it's very slightly brighter than the Voyage and Oasis. On most settings however I'm noticing it a bit dimmer, or at least contrasty harder to read. (13 on the Voyage is easy to read in normal situations, but on the Oasis 3 I feel like I need to crank it up to 17 to be comparable.)

I'm comparing it in a vacuum so I don't know if I just got a dud or if the more even display spreads the lights around and this is normal use. Any comparisons out there?
