When I see that the Oasis or the Voyage has darker blacks than the Libra H2O (for example), and most other people see it as well - moreover, when it can be clearly seen even on photos - then that's what counts to us, not technical evaluations and measurements.
And yes, I posted photos with the Oasis 3 and the Libra H2O side by side a while ago. Don't remember the thread, but the difference in contrast was pretty obvious.

But you're still not comparing like for like. The Voyage and Libra H2O do not have the same e-ink display, so any comparisons between them are moot when it comes to ascertaining flush vs recessed. You can only compare them when they have the same e-ink display.
And just like your eyes see the same generation Oasis 3 display as being better than the Libra H20, my eyes see the opposite. So your or mine subjective assessment carries no weight.
Only the objective facts matter, which is that when the e-ink display is the same on two devices, then the one with fewer layers on top of it will be the better looking one. Your eyes can lie to you, and the fact that different people see the comparisons differently proves it so. But physics does not lie.
