The artefact issue is why there is an option on some devices to only render mono at 150 dpi. That makes it virtually artefact free, though still a slight "screen door" effect because the coloured dots deliberately don't fill the pixels, to improve brightness and contrast at expense of saturation.

So grayscale on Kaleido is only approximately 300 dpi at best and never as good as a regular mono 300 dpi panel.

I've seen a current Onyx model "face to face". My companion also remarked that it was a lot poorer than the Kobo Sage.

In ambient light the Kindle DXG (Pearl screen) is brighter and better contrast. It's 150 dpi.

A lot of the old Kindle screens are better than modern day offerings in both sharpness and contrast. They lack the PPI, but are often easier to read, since poorly implemented glass cover screens distort letters, and so do poorly implemented extra layers (touch, frontlight).

Got an email announcing the pre-Sale for the color version: 150dpi for color and 300dpi for B&W.

Paid 334€ ( 399$ ) for it and I expect to pay another 70€ for import fees. The will be shipping it to the Netherlands from China somewhere in October.

My Hisense A5 pro cc is really dying on me. ADB is dead. Screen has been replaced, but is cracked, again. Flexcable to fingerprintsensor is dead. Really think that I shouldn't have dropped in in that parking spot, where at least one car drove* over it. I expect it to be a nice replacement for me.

I'll post whether the screen change for color from 100 to 150dpi and an even smaller increase in resolution is worth it.

I'd say that the car ran over it.
Let op! Drempels!
