Hi,
I would love to have the PixelQi version, but I don't think I would use it a lot to justify for the increase in price. My question is what type of LCD screen is on the regular screen model? Is it closer to the iPad quality or is it closer to the Viewsonic GTablet quality?
Thanks.
Is it just me or does the Adam screen look like crap with these videos??

It's hard to say from an amateur video. It would be great if we know the specs/model of the LCD screen that they use.
Looks much better on the latest satnav video.
This was confirmed as being lcd.
I think the screen looked better in some of the older prototype videos as well. That was the qi screen as well. Would need to check the old videos to confirm.

Just a quick question:
i have watched several youtube videos and the desire's hd screen colours look kind of washed out.
i'm guessing it's just a regular lcd and not slcd
so i'm worried.
how do you feel about the colours?
and the screen in general?
Thanks
Yeah I'm happy with it. The screen is crisp and clear. I've just come from an AMOLED Desire so the colours seem a bit washed out compared to that but they're still good. The viewing angle isn't as good, you want to view it head on to et the best out of it, but then that's how people generally look at their phones.

Just picked up a new nexus s (new years eve) from carphonewarehouse in brighton and it has an SLCD. Is this common in uk as i thought it was just happening in russia etc..????
I have an AMOLED Desire so i can see a massive difference and about to return it. Any benefit in SLCD???
Wring section but I don't know any.pros over super amoled.

Really? Damn that sucks. The screen is probably my favorite thing about this phone.
SLCD? What a ripoff. Why aren't they using Super Amoled???
Yeh a little peeved as the demo one I tested was AMOLED but the one in the box wasnt. Grrrr
super amolded = the best, period.
Uh how can I check what screen mine has?

Look at it.
The major difference is when looking at the image with black background.
As SAMOLED has unlimited contrast, black is totally black.
only the russian nexus s models have slcd. can't find the link to the article, but I remember reading about this.
edit : here's the article http://androidcommunity.com/nexus-s...d-in-russia-instead-of-super-amoled-20101207/
OMG!!!!!!!! noooooooo, i hate it when the manufacture process changes half way through the release of a product (example HTC Desire)
i'm glad our batch in USA has SAMOLED.... but what will happen after if we need to send in our for repair? are we going to lose the SAMOLED to be replaced with a Sony LCD ? like they did with the Desire?
ewww....
i think i'd rather go back to a Tmobile Vibrant if that ever happens
Well slcd has it benefits. First you get regular RGB pixels instead of ugly Pentile. Second LCD's are not prone to "burn in" and shioter life of amoled. There are toms of threads about samoled burn in and rapid dimness.

hahaha. i cant believe this. what a total f*** up.
It couldn't be. My friend just purchase one for me in carphonewarehouse. If it is slcd, I'd rather her return it. Confirm?

the only reason i purchased this phone and SGS was to get the SAMOLED screen
if it was not for it, there are tons of better choices for an Android phone
there is simply nothing else better that can compare to the crispy clear quality of the SAMOLED
and most importantly it works under bright sunlight

You think so?
They can't write Super AMOLED on the specs and sell a LCD, can you add some pictures of the screen?
I'd be surprised if you have a slcd screen! When the phone is off does your screen have a dark blue(ish) tinge to it? It does look different from a simple amoled screen, did some one tell you from carphone warehouse that it was scld?
This is very unlikely, surely?
As someone has said, the SAMOLED screen is one of the major selling points. If it didn't have it, I'd probably stick with my Desire HD!
It's almost like swapping in a 600mhz CPU and selling it.
Are you sure it is SLCD?
Do we have a really solid way to check this?
Probably by using image with different shades of black? Then turn the contrast to max or something.
Post comparison photo with your HTC Desire please ...

I love how the iphone 4 looks in terms of its display. It's just so clear and catchy to the eye. Wondering how the evo 3d will stack up against it.
Hopefully it'll be good. I do agree, the iPhone 4 display is quite nice.
As much crap as Steve jobs talked about 4" screens I think he feel dumb now saying "people don't want Hummer sized phones". In America bigger is better so I guess that's why iPhone 5 is coming with a 4" screen LOL. IPhone 4 had HD retina displays so imagine a 4" version ohhh my.

So I know screen rez, size, and pixels is almost a science...one which I don't really care to figure out, but is the EVO 3D's display going to be "retina" quality?
Quick response: It won't be as sharp
I posted a summary of the EVO3D here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004091 which has a section that explains the difference between the two displays.
Please feel free to ask questions and amend my posts as necessary

I don't think so bud, as far as I know retina has 326 ppi which is better than samoled screens. Qhd I believe is not as good as retina but is right behind. Correct me if I'm wrong. I found this for you though.

Yea, I highly doubt it will look as nice as the iphone. The picture on that thing is unreal.. the phone is just tiny tho.
Dirk, how do you know the iphone5 will have a 4" screen? Is there info out on it already somewhere?

Retina and qHD are mostly marketing-ploy terms.
The display hardware themselves are actually relatively the same, but it's the resolution they display at which Retina and qHD refer to. qHD is "Quarter HD" which means a quarter of HD resolution which is something like 1900x...something around 1400?
Retina, in short, just means the resolution as well. But I think it's a certain PPI factored in as well.
Oh wait, I found all of that on the same thread you posted. DERPPPP
Sorry, just click the link in Dirk's post.

It(retina) definitely means something; iPhone 4's screen looks better than anything out there. Retina HD has the resolution of 480x320(iPhone 4 screen size). Obviously the evos resolution is greater than that so it wont look as good but I hear retina can only do 480x320 atm. Kinda seems like the greater the screen size is you have to sacrifice ppi/resolution. Its all still HD but not high Res like the iphone. I don't remember the exact specs but maybe someone who knows more about the displays can chime in for a sec

I have to agree 100% man. It looks very cheap plus I don't like the curves. I prefer the square look better on original evo. Maybe nexus for me also :-/

I'm no so sure it has more curves really. I think it is just taller and slimmer, creating a more rectangle look as opposed to curves IMO.
The Nexus S does look much more sleek tho..
What will be the ppi on the Evo 3d? I know iphone 4 is 326 right

Kind of hard comparing two types of displays that are so different. Usually with 3D you can get a much better picture from a lower quality source because you are looking at two screens at once.
Specs don't really mean much in this case so the only thing way to tell is to compare them side by side. And so far the reviews of it so far say the screen looks great.

This probably isnt right but...
sqrt(960^2+640^2)/3.5 = 329.6 ppi for the iphone 4.
sqrt(960^2+540^2)/4.3 = 256.1 ppi for EVO 3D.
qHD = 960x540 pixels
"retina display" = cheezy term made up by Apple to throw at people that don't know what resolution is. it is in fact 960x640 pixels. they throw retina in there because the thought is that there are so many pixels in such a small amount of space that the human eye, or retina, cannot distinguish individual pixels and thus curves actually look curved and not blocky.
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_display_resolutions
the iPhone 4's display will still be more crisp because of this pixel density on a smaller screen. I just want to know what kind of display (hopefully it's SLCD) it has in it.

Retina display is most definitely a buzz/marketing word for ppi/pixel density. Also, the iPhone 4 "retina " display is actually 960x640 (exactly 4x the number of pixels of its predecessors) . This made it a perfect conversion for legacy iPhone apps to produce 4 pixels for each original pixel. This is the main reason the iPhone 4 has that much pixel density. It's just a side effect of wanting to make the conversion process for legacy apps easier. Remember ios apps didn't have to support multiple resolutions like android. So why not make it sound cool. So, if the iPhone 5 has a 4" screen, I would bet it would still use the same resolution as the iPhone 4 for the sake of app conversion. (Unless they multiply the pixels by 4 again) . This of course would bring down the ppi making it hard to argue that the iPhone 5 still has a retina display. Therefore I think it unlikely it will have a 4" screen. That and it would make Steve jobs have to admit he was wrong about 4" screen phones. Also another point is that the ipad2 didn't get an upgrade in resolution.
How us the ppi detail? Is 720p that good?

Some slight banding in gradients, similar to SGS though not quite as bad. Personally I think the screen is GORGEOUS, and I would never be able to tell it was pentile without a magnifying glass, or comparing it side-by-side to a non-pentile display. The extra dpi makes up for it.
amazing !!! ( vivid colour, pop up, black is black )watched few tv shows 720p i downloaded last night and gonna watch some more tonight. love the big screen. ( never gonan go back to smaller than this one now)
I've never used an AMOLED screen until I saw the Galaxy S4 but it does look really nice and the blacks are unbelievable. However, almost every reviewer and person I talk to says how AMOLED is garbage and that LCD is by far better.
Does anybody actually prefer AMOLED to LCD?
Well... everyone in this forum lol.
AMOLED is better since it can be set to look like LCD (color-wise). LCD can't be like AMOLED no matter what.

As of right now, I'm not really that impressed with the S4's screen after coming from the HTC One. I'm hoping there's some mods on here that will change my mind because it might be the deciding factor as to whether or not the S4 is my daily driver or backup phone.

I'm an AMOLED guy. Love those displays. My One S has one, my Note 2 had one and now my Galaxy S4 has one. The colours of those displays are awesome. Only disadvantage is the brightness. On very bright day it's hard to see something on an AMOLED

It's all a fad, back when flip phone screens were all TFT everyone prefered the OLED screens that nokia used in their devices. I personally find LCD screens dull and boring in comparison to AMOLED screens.
