I'm surprised the quality wouldn't be the same.
Nova Air.

I didn’t get an opportunity to compare the Nova 3 and Kon-Tiki 2 side by side but I too was expecting worse clarity due to the WACOM layer and was pleasantly surprised at how crisp the text was. The screen is even a shade whiter than my Oasis.

Here is a side by side of the Oasis, Kon-Tiki 2, and Nova Air with the front light turned off. As you can see, the Oasis and Kon-Tiki are similar while the Air is little darker. https://bit.ly/3sEQLsu

This is the Nova 3 next to the Oasis. https://bit.ly/3Js4R79. It’s hard to tell from the picture but the text is fuzzier on the Oasis and the screen is also a tad darker.
