PW3 Strange Lights...
I was hoping they wouldn't bother me But... I have a Bright White Area on the Right Lower corner area. When you look from Top to Bottom & see the 4 lights across the Bottom. Between the 1st & 2nd lights is a square box. Between the 2nd & 3rd Lights is a inverted V. Nothing between the 3rd & 4th light! That Whole area is Bright Light... On the Left side its darker the Middle even but ranges from Dark to Bright. Then in the Right side its So bright my eyes just cant seem to adjust. I been trying to read on the PW3 for about an hour ... my eyes are Really hurting. SUGGESTIONS? I just got this yesterday after noon

Hard to be sure without a photo, but if it's that bad, exchange it.

I darkened the Pics so you can see the Bright Lights on the right. & How dim the other 3 on the left are.

That would annoy me enough to return it.

Well Amazon Tech didn't have any problems with the pictures. I posted them in my Review yesterday. This morning I got an email from them want to Exchange it. I need to talk to them about it tho...don't want a refirb. I Do what them to open the box check it out & just tape it close Before it shipped... Think they do that for me?

From your picture(s), that really bright spot in the lower right looks like an obvious defect...
That said, I have 2 PW3's and both have grayish "shadow cones" at the bottom of the screens, but the gray "blobs or clouds" are fairly even... The important thing for me is whether these "normal" screen effects distract from the reading experience.... Again, I hope you are successful in getting a much better replacement PW3 |

New one came today! Looks a Lot better No Bright Areas!!
Those Blobs are really Light Shades of Grey. No they don't bother the actual reading. I guess as a Non-Techy they from the ink pack that form the words on the device. When my son broke my 1st K3 it was a Huge Blob of Dark Gray. Same as those tiny gray spots where the ink pouch popped. The brighter you set the lights the less you see gray. Background White the words looks Black to me very crisp. |
