I've meant to ask Sir Bruce, actually, but haven't seen him on the Amazon forums lately.
On my DX, I could swear (almost) that when I decide to do an alt-G (screen refresh) when in dim light, not only is there more black coming to the surface (the DX has beautiful contrast) but the screen background gets whiter too.
I do 3 Alt-G's, taking a cue from when the DX starts up (K2 sometimes) and I guess I have convinced myself that more white gets to the surface as well as more black.
With the K2 (and I have a good one, that looks quite close to the K1 in font darkness), it's not particularly readable in dim light. I find that I can read the DX with with only a lamp about 4 feet away and turned away from me and whatever light is coming from the computer screen. Could not do that with the K2.
Could others with DX's try this and let me know if I'm alone in seeing a lighter background when doing the alt-G refresh?
BY THE WAY, in case any have not discovered this yet, the irritating number combo keypress prob can be mitigated somewhat by the fact that you don't have to press them together. They can be done in sequence. First the Alt key and then the number.
But that works for only one number at a time -- otherwise it's easier for me to hold down the Alt-key while pressing a series of numbers as needed.
The same with shift-key and a capital letter. This latter is how the K1 works but not the K2.
