Hi people! Quick question.

I went from 4.6.9995 to 4.23.15548, and I'm not sure when the change occured, but I noticed that my Kobo Glo HD suddenly became warmer!

Perhaps +500 kelvin, I'd say. I tried taking a picture of it, but it looks similar, if not the same.

When did this change occur? Is there a way to bring it back to strong neutral white?

I really hate warm screens..

I have a 2nd Glo HD who I compared it with in the past, which is still running 4.6.9995, and there is definetely a big difference comparing them next to each other.

Here's one picture at 100% brightness,

and one at 20% brightness.

You can go into Photoshop/gimp and use the color picker to test the colors, and you'll see the right one is more vibrant and brighter - which is noticable in real life too. Also it's less warm, and it's a real nice pure white, whilst the left one is a little bit warm now, and it's really bothering me.

EDIT:

The difference is pretty evident when the picture is scaled to a smaller size, see:
