Again, I'm not trying to make a comparison with the Voyage, as I don't own one in real life. I'm just commenting on how the Libra in the pictures looks compared to mine.

I did try and take pics of my own device with my phone, and the frontlight does come out greenish unless I adjust the white balance, so that might be why it looks like that.
The voyage doesn't have the waveform for dark mode so it ghosts terribly. I have it refreshed every page. I forgot to do that for the Libra

The green tint is there irl and it was the first thing I noticed. Some people claim all the Libras have green tint and others say theirs don't. IIRC Nate the great noticed green tint in his review. My guess is they all do to some extent, but I'm tempted to buy another one and play the screen lottery

One thing for sure: once used to 7" screen, it's tough to go back to 6

Sorry for taking over the thread with my photos
