You got me. My apologies. I meant the older 800x600 (and some higher resolution/pearl) devices that I have used.
And FWIW, I just compared my Sony 505 to my Glo HD (with the front light off), and the 505 looks washed out in comparison.
I compared my Touch to my Glo HD (with the light off), and my Touch looks washed out in comparison.
I compared my Old Nook (no front light model) to my Glo HD (front light off), and my Nook looks washed out in comparison.

I haven't compared my Touch to a modern device (I guess my Glo HD isn't modern enough), but I'll have access to a Forma in a couple of days (this is the most modern device which I "own"), and I'll report back.
