Comparison survey between PW1 and PW2 screens - Page 5

fearindex · 10-29-2013, 09:25 AM

Finally got around to putting my vote in.

I think a question asking about how "yellow" one's PW2 is would have been useful, as we hear there are differences or at least different experiences. My PW2 is significantly more yellow than PW1, but still not something I'd call yellow per se, but still just a warm white.

Here are some photos. I apologize for the delay in responding. I've been doing a lot of traveling this month, including spending time in your part of the globe. The first photo compares the KPW2 on left to KPW1 on right. I took the photo in the conditions I usually read which is mid-range with low-level ambient lighting. I think I had it set at 10. The KPW2 definitely has reduced shadows and is more even. On my KPW1 the light shadows created a V-effect that goes up about 4 lines of text. It is more apparent in person than in the photos. It was especially annoying when the light and dark areas would fall over words and spaces in the text. You can see the effect better in the second photo over a blank area of the page. Then try to imagine that superimposed over text. There is also light-bleed on both left and right edges of my KPW1 while it's only on the right on my KPW2. I am definitely a lot happier with my KPW2!

Oh, yes, quite a few of mine that I received last year had that light triangle.
