refreshing on PW2 vs Aura

leo_CR · 10-28-2013, 11:41 AM

Hi. I have read about the new regal waveform, and how it is implemented in the aura and pw2. The matter is it seems to be a little variation: I have read that, in the aura, the refresh is at the end of each chapter, and that from page to page you can´t really see any ghosting at all. On the other hand, the pw2 seems to do the refresh every 14 pages, but there remains a little ghosting, similar to the one that appeared with normal pearl screens...

Is it so? What do you think, people who have seen both models or who happen to have them?

Thanks a lot.

I have the same question! Read somewhere the Aura refreshes every 100 pages.

and now the new nook looks to never-refresh, or something like that...

Would like someone with an actual device could say...

I've tried both in the past couple of weeks.

I didn't notice any ghosting on the Paperwhite at all with the refresh every page option off.

I did notice ghosting on the Aura when it was set to refresh every chapter and when refresh was set for 5 pages there was still ghosting on the first page after leaving the home screen. I ended up setting the refresh on the Aura for every page.

So not a very big change, after all...

Thanks a lot.
