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).
