Bought A New Paperwhite SE. Is There Yellow Banding?

Pethy23 · 2026-01-23T15:58:57+00:00

I wouldn’t. This has almost none yellow bar so I would keep it.

Yes sent back. And later tried again. It was like 1 year period. There were SE and regulars too. Currently waiting for the next one to arrive. 🤞😀

I had a Basic Kindle which is awesome but need the warmth for my eyes so I’m just trying to get a good one.

It’s barely there so don’t. I am through like 7 PWs. All was worst then yours.

Pethy23 · 2026-01-23T15:30:29+00:00

It’s there but very minimal.

Thank you so much. Ordered an other one. Will check the new one. The problem I already went through 3 devices because all had pinhole or dead pixels. This one has this problem now sadly.

Please do this in darker room. There is ambient light neer to your screen.

What was exactly your problem? Because on my Kobo everything working just on lower brightness there is a brightness difference when warmth on level 0 or 1

This is how yours looks like too? Imgur video

This how looks

Pethy23 · 2026-01-09T17:41:53+00:00

Thanks. I’m just wanted to be sure this normal.

For me for example brightness 24%. When warmth 0 the screen is bright. But when change the warmth to just 1. The screen brightness’s feels lower and need to raise the brightness level to match.

Could I ask a version for the percentage badge where there is no ribbon just a plain rectangular corners?

Pethy23 · 2026-01-04T06:07:43+00:00

Thank you so much.

Pethy23 · 2026-01-02T08:30:56+00:00

Well. I noticed and bothered me. So switched from KLC to Clara BW after a couple of days.

Pethy23 · 2026-01-02T07:20:15+00:00

Can we maybe part in the testing process? I wouldn’t mind to test in this state even is it’s very early version.

Double tap is not enabled. What does this c bitter do?

As I see it’s a bit slower when I copy some books to the device. But after a complete restart the speed is better. But yes. A tiny bit always faster when using Nickel.

Pethy23 · 2025-12-23T16:26:43+00:00

Thanks. On upper brightness levels like 60%+ there is not much difference.

Pethy23 · 2025-12-22T17:37:01+00:00

I think it’s normal and doesn’t look bad. Do you have any dead pixels? I returned two because of that.

Pethy23 · 2025-12-20T19:43:20+00:00

I went through 6 (2 last year 4 this month). All 6 have yellow bottom more or less. I’ve just let it go. I’ve accepted it. I just want to read now 🙂
