I have a Nova (non-flush) and a Nova Pro (flush). I have examined closely and I can see absolutely zero difference between the two screens. I expected to see a difference, and did not. So no, IME the flush makes no difference.

The Onyx screens have a lower contrast than a Kindle. I presume it's because Amazon have more resources to get the maximum contrast. The same for Kobo. I have a Nook GL3 and the contrast is better than the Onyx. From what I read, the PW3 is clearer than the PW4 because bizarrely the higher screen resolution makes the text look thin.

I do tend to put the light on on the Onyx to bump up the contrast. It's fine, and I'm fussy.
