From something unverified I read, there's an internal setting, in the bookshelf anyway that allows for setting of bit levels to reduce it. Likely the setting changes it from 3 bit to 2 bit (4 bit is 16 shades, 2 is 4 shades--black,white and 2 grays). The screen itself is only a display device, and as you already know from your monitor, you can set different colour depths.. 256 colours (8 bit), 24 bit, etc.
The logical outcome of this is that it is theoretically possible that some things may appear darker as having less shades of grey to work with, would by necessity force the text anti-aliasing to gravitate more towards either darker or lighter shades instead of in-between shades of gray. Combined with the optical illusion as eyes see it may also appear blacker.
But in of itself, I doubt that the pixels themselves have darkened.. that probably requires factory level calibration equipment for waveforms, etc.
Seemed to me that effect priority may actually have looked better to me.
In anycase, the 0429/0501 version is too buggy (slow) so it shouldn't be used longer than to play with before returning to your regular one.
