Im confused, does the DHD definitely have an SuperLCD screen? or is it a standard LCD screen?
Sources either way would be appreciated
It's a SD-LCD that was made especially for this phone. It stands for Super Duper Lemon-Cherry Drops

To awnser your question, it has S-LCD.
It is stated everywhere when you search on google. Couldn't find a offcial statement from HTC that fast, but if you just search you find it out.
Why do you want to know?
(S-lcd has uses IPS instead of a tn-panel) No I can't explain what it means. Lolz :')
I wanted to know because i had read that it hadnt
They claimed that HTC never actually said it does (and i couldnt find anywhere that stated it did) and people just assumed it was SLCD...
Thats why i wanted sources
Then why does it say 'Amoled' when you go on web pages which offer pay monthly/pay as you go deals?? But after research it has been confirmed as S-LCD
No it hasn't got Amoled. The site you read that state that are wrong.
It initially was the planning to put AMOLED on there, but the manufacturer of those displays had problems. Therfore HTC wouldn't get the AMOLED displays.
The more recent articles (that aren't faulty) state that is has S LCD.
A source that is right most of the time is pocketnow.com. They also state when it's about a rumor or when is it is real and what their sources are.
Pocketed.con ok I'll be using that site from now on thanks.

desire HD has an improved LCD screen, 16M colors, improved black levels and sharp definition
however its not SLCD, levels between white and black are a little washed out and its viewing angles are weak
compared to the HD2/EVO screens its much better, its actually a little cleaner compared to the SLCD desire screen (more successful text anti alising) however the colours and view angles are weaker, its also possible to see the pixel grid in grey areas if you are too picky
coming from SLCD desire to the DHD screen, it felt like a downgrade in quality, few days after i started to like it, the definition is very smooth and at 4.3 inch everything is more enjoyable

Okay if S-LCD means IPS then DHD definitely doesn't have an S-LCD.
If it's IPS then the viewing angle should be really wide.
Talked to HTC
So I did some research.
So I called HTC to ask the question. The girl had to look up it. Said: it's TFT LCD. I said: I know. But is it S-LCD, it's a new generation of screens, you used it also one the normal Desire when it wasn't an AMOLED screen.
She said it are the newer screens.
In this forum someone has it in his title that he emaild HTC and they said it is SLCD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8185304
So it probably is S-LCD.
This last youtube video is probably the explanation why HTC hasn't stated it's SLCD and that is actually is S-LCD.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JuvacCCVXw
But when I hear the girl laughing when she tell it, I can't stop thinking they just called it Super-LCD to mock samsung with their Super AMOLED and it is stil a regular S-LCD.

Well we know the DHD has LCD, but AT&T site says the inspire has SLCD... I compared mine to two MT4G, one has LCD, the other SLCD... and apparently my inspire behaves (saturation/view-angle) somewhat in between, leaning towards the LCD.
So how about yours? you probably get a LCD if a sharp view angel gives you wash out colors.
So AT&T is giving out misleading info then..
ripped a link about the MT4G good vs bad screen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863679
not really sure how accurate my judgement is.....but i can look at mine almost 180 degrees, basically until i cant see the screen anymore, and colors still look great. Doesn't seem to be washed out for me, but again, i have never compared a SLCD to an LCD.
Just as a side note....I have been MORE than impressed with this screen, even coming from a s-amoled on the Captivate. I was really thinking i was going to miss the "pop" from the captivate screen, but the colors on the Inspire have been more than pleasing to my eye. Although, the black levels on the LCD suck compared to the OLED....

Leaning towards SLCD over here as well.
Searching in the forum and saw someone saying the DHD in India are SLCD. Does anyone know how to determine it on the software side?

I have an HD2, which has a common LCD...with the washed out view angles and all...and my Inspire doesn't exhibit the angle washout as my HD2. The colors are a bit more intense also.
I'm with everyone else here. I can look at mine in a complete 180 degree arc and lose very little color and detail from the most extreme angles.

ditto, i'm leaning toward SLCD
Colors are not washed out practically at all, viewing from any angle up until I can no longer see the screen. I'm wagering SLCD.
I came from Vibrant, so maybe I expected a bit too much for the inspire then..
but I compared mine to a Desire Z's SLCD and its really different.
The colors when viewing at 45 degree on the 1-2 O'clock position of the phone is extremely washed out and showed a green tint.

Might just be your device, brother. I came from a Captivate (SAMOLED) and it's WP7 cousin, the Focus, and I see little to no difference in off angle viewing from either of those devices. The colors stay true, but obviously the luminance does decrease the further you move from 0 degrees.
Also, I'm using a crappy, AT&T store, anti-glare screen protector till my nice ones show up tomorrow. That further degrades the quality of the screen, so the true nature of the screen is better than I've even been describing it.
. This is surely sad.. did anyone try the Android emulator method (dmseg) in the my4g link and see what type of panel it is?

I looked at it, but this handset isn't a mytouch4g. That command shows a number designation that we don't have a key to for this device. They may very well be the same, but we don't know for sure. My number would designate that I had the "good screen" but I have yet to see any reply that would cause me to think that there were any bad screens, other than you. If you are unhappy with your device, take it back and see if the sales rep wouldn't mind you running the hardware check for the screen. However, if its as noticable as you say, you should be able to tell without it.
I tested my inspire against the atrix im currently using, and the qHD screen has significantly more color washout and bleed than the inspires panel. A 45 degree angle of the atrix tints everything a yellowish haze.
mine has a type 1 panel.. so I guess I'm filing a return.
Ok...so, several sites, all have different info. PC Mag, whom I trust dearly, say it's on LCD... Most other say its SLCD.. So..I have to call HTC tonight after work anyways... I'll ask them, and if I can get them to verify which one, I'll report back..
With the My Touch 4g I'm sure you MT4G users will remember the good screen/bad screen issue. Where one lcd panel was made by sony, and the other was made by sharp. The Sharp lcd screen would wash out more on an angle than the sony. I have read some people speculate that the sensation might have the same "issue"
It has been confirmed that the Sensation has two different LCD panels. One made by Acer (AUO) and one made by sharp. The sensation does not have a good screen bad screen issue. Some people prefer the acer screen and others prefer the sharp. I have had both and they both are really beautiful displays. You can only really tell the difference if they are side by side.
To find out which panel you have:
Use terminal emulator (free from the market) and run the command dmesg (root is not needed obviously)
it will output a bunch of stuff.. look for this line and report it: (if you can't find it you can long press on the output in terminal emulator copy all and then paste it into an email and send it to yourself)
just look for the line (the numbers might not be the same) [ 9178.895111] Panel Type = PANEL_ID_PYD_??????
Mine is sharp so my line is Panel Type = PANEL_ID_PYD_SHARP
If you have searched and can't find reboot and try again.
Pics I took of the two side by side:

I checked out wiki and it seems they committed to a joint venture with sharp in 2008.

But SLCD isn't made by Samsung (which is what that paragraph says, unless I'm reading it wrong), so I wouldn't trust the rest of the article.
Hiya, I have jest received my Sensation yesterday and compared to my Desire the viewing angles are shockingly bad, as soon as you go off centre then it fades out.
I thought these were supposed to be better than the desire!!
How is everyones elses??
Depends which panel you have:

I'd take it back and demand a replacement, and to see the replacement working before I accepted it.
Had the Sharp panel on my Vodafone-branded handset, got the Acer one on my Unbranded handset. Not a huge difference as I don't look at the phone from acute angles

Mine is pretty good as a LCD screen. No, it doesn't have the widest view angle compared to other LCD screens I've seen, but it's not bad at all.
I also own a Desire, the original one with AMOLED screen. You cannot compare view angle of AMOLED screen with LCD screen (you can, but it isn't fair). Because of the construction difference, AMOLED has much much wider view angle than LCD in general. AMOLED also has much deeper black (because pixels can be turned off individually). I wish HTC would continue to release phones with AMOLED screen, but as of right now, Samsung has most of the control over all the AMOLED screens. Let's hope that other screen manufacturers will catch up with Samsung AMOLED technology very soon.
I had an SLCD on the Desire and it had better viewing angles as well, my sensation has the sharp panel, so yeah it's actually the first thing I noticed when I got the phone, it doesn't bother me much now though.
I think the viewing angle is ok, but not outstanding.
Acutally I dont care at all, because I allways watch it faceing me
I have an Acer and I could hold it vertical and still read everything fine xD It's not perfect and clear like it would be if you had it straight in front of you, but if it's legible and I can see the icons and widgets then that's pretty good for me.
yeah..i agree.and i dont want others to see what im doing with my phone specially when im writting text messages to someone.right?
i dont notice any bad viewing angles
I think that the gorilla glass makes a little difference as well.
Acer, and I dont notice any problem with viewing angles.
I dont really look at it from funny angles though to be honest

LOL....100+ page thread is a great find. Pretty sure everyone who frequents the sensation forums has read at least part of that one.
Lol yup..pretty much that's all we did before we had S-OFF.We just hung out in the general forum and complain about trivial stuff,since we had nothing better to do like flashing awsome Roms,themes and mods. Oh,what a depressing time that was!
compared to my old oled desire. The sensation lcd looks much better and natural. Viewing angles are acceptable(very good in fact) too. however if compared to my friend's incredible S, the sensation screen is actually inferior.
Overall I'm quite pleased and no complain with the higher res. Cheers.
Hi guys,
I've recently picked up a Sensation, and I can't help but notice how "odd" the screen looks in comparison to my Incredible S. I've read in reviews that it is a bit disappointing in terms of viewing angles and such, and that's true. It also looks as if there are faint scan lines running across it (like a monitor that has an incorrect refresh rate) and the gamma is less intense.
Is this just how the Sensation's screen is or does mine have some issue? I may simply be really used to the Incredible S display.
I'm loving the phone otherwise.
Thanks!
My screen suffers from yellowing at more than 30° or so, but no scan lines like you mentioned. I know there was a lot of discussion about the screen when they first came out and 2 or 3 different screens were used for the displays. I have a sharp screen on mine for reference.

I also have a " sharp" screen on mine. No lines at all. If it bothers much perhaps exchange it for one without lines. (i don't think they are supposed to be their anyway) as for contrast my daughter just got a s3 and our screen compared to the s3 screen is very poor in my opinion. Our colors seem washed out and light compared to her vivid bright screen . But I'm not really complaining I don't seem to notice unless I do a side by side comparison. If I were you I would take back the device for one without lines! Problem could worsen in the future and I know not every sensation has them. Mine doesn't . Best wishes to you .

I haven't used the Incredible S before, but a quick search reveals it has a 800x400 16M color S-LCD screen, the same tech in the Sensation's screen (except the higher resolution).
You're saying gamma is more intense than Incredible S, if this is the case then the Sensation may be calibrated with more vividly than the Incredible S. Does your Sensation screen have colours similar to AMOLED screens? How does the white balance look? I find my Sensation screen to be much more neutral than the typically over saturated AMOLED screens (which is how S-LCD should look like, factory default). White balance looks great too on my Sensation, pretty close to 6500K.
I've never seen scan lines on my Sensation, this is most likely the biggest clue you've given that your screen may have defects. Would be much more easier for everyone if you can post a picture of your actual Sensation screen on.
I've got an AUO screen myself. Is it possible my eyes are adjusting to it? I'll give a week and see how it goes.
It's a shame about the washed out colours, but it could be worse.

My mistake, I meant to say the gamma was less intense. It seems very washed out and less saturated than my Incredible S. The blacks and whites are better though.
My only problem with the screen is that the blacks aren't black enough. Well.. I suppose that's true to all colors.. as you guys said..they're a little bit washed out.
Beside that..no scan lines and the viewing angles never disappointed me.
The scan lines-not normal.
Being washed out, highly reflective, blacks that aren't black enough, maximum brightness that isn't very good for outdoor use, and the like-normal.

I had another Sensation with an AUO screen and found it sort of unpleasant to look at. I think it was something to do with the way the pixels were arranged, made the text look fuzzy. I also remember the screen having more of a pink/purple hue compared side by side with the Sharp screen, but I don't remember seeing any sort of scan lines.
If you just bought it from a retail outlet, I would see if you could get an exchange. If not, I guess its up to whether you want to deal with exchanging it with HTC (it should still be under their 2 year warranty), or deal with the screen as is.

Is the warranty two years? The little slip inside the box says 12 months, which would mean this phone is out of warranty by now. (I got it from someone who upgraded their phone)
I've taken a picture of the scanlines here.
Ignoring the vertical lines that both phones have at this zoom, you can see the Sensation has faint horizontal lines running across it while the Incredible S doesn't. Not sure if that's just how the display quality is on the Sensation.
Make sure you zoom into the full size image to see.
EDIT: Sorry for double posting, I didn't realize.
Last time I spoke with HTC customer service was to get a replacement mainboard for my wife's HTC Vision/G2. When I was on the phone I inquired about my HTC Sensation warranty, as I was surprised that the G2 was even under warranty still (G2 had a 15 month warranty I believe). If I recall correctly the warranty period they told me was for two years. I was thrilled to hear it, as I was under the assumption pretty much all phone warranties were for 1 year. Give HTC a call and see what their terms are, you may be pleasantly surprised.
Also, I have some pics that I took a while back that have the Sharp screen side by side with the AUO screen, but I haven't yet located them. When/If I do, I will post them for your reference.
Edit: I am using the T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G, not sure if this has an influence on the warranty terms, but it could (different SKU compared to European version).
I currently got the HTC Desire HD and kinda love it. But it starts to get too slow, battery gets worse and so I thought about getting a new phone.
The HTC One S looks nice, perfect size, good performance, good camera and due to the AMOLED it looks like the battery last long enough as well.
But how does the AMOLED display quality look like compared to e.g. my Desire HD ? How abour reading from the display at sunny days?
Thanks

The display is great and one thing, which definitely deserves more praise rather than just being slated by a number of people and review sites. Sure the screen isn't as good in terms of sharpness and screen real estate compared to the GS 3, one X, GN and SE phones due to the 720P res. but the colours of it are superb and IMO better than the GN (too dull), GS 2 (too over saturated), SE phones (personally not really keen on their displays when it comes to the colours) and also the GS 3 screen, but the best thing about the one S screen is just how good it performs when in sunlight (as in sun shining right on the screen), I can see stuff (even on black backgrounds) without even having to squint my eyes (and that isn't even with 100% brightness, only like 70% brightness selected) where as with the GS 2 etc. I always have to cover it slightly with my hand in order to make a text or website etc. out. And with my S, there is no yellow/blue tints at all, no matter what brightness I put the mobile to, whites are extremely bright white (better than my dell U2311H), this will vary from unit to unit though.
IMO the desire HD has one of the worst displays ever, colours are extremely washed out, viewing angles are non existent, and it isn't that sharp either.
I do notice the pentile matrix, however, I only notice it when I have my face right up to the screen or am really concentrating on trying to spot the effects of it. The most noticeable areas I notice it are on the notification icons and white/grey text on black backgrounds.
From one of the best sites when it comes to hardware stuff and so knows what they are talking about:
I’ve griped about PenTile RGBG before on this panel and other SAMOLED displays, but I find the One S to be completely enjoyable in spite of having it thanks to two things. First, how well HTC has controlled the panel (no awful hues, weird white points, or dramatic shifts as you change brightness) - this is basically the best I’ve seen this particular panel, and until SGS3, the best I’ve seen AMOLED in general. Second, because HTC doesn’t appear to be applying any processing that applies sharpening (like Samsung’s mDNIe) to text.
How you feel about PenTile really is the final factor: it’s there, but I’ve slowly become accustomed to it after staring at it for so long. If you go back to the Nexus S days, I was one of the most outspoken critics because of how large those subpixels were. With small enough subpixels (below visual acuity), PenTile starts to make sense. In other news, HTC moving back to Samsung AMOLED for phones is an interesting move after supply issues forced HTC to SLCD with some earlier phones, here on the HTC One S however, it looks great.

Although as always, you should check out for yourself first to see what you think.
Imo, I would get the OneS if I were you.
I also came from the DHD, an moved forward after the no update fiasco.
I am on pre-pay and did not want to sign a contract again, actually ever but that's another issue, so I shopped around for the OneS on sell in different places. I could not swing full retail so I looked for NIB phones that are turned over fast.
Well long story short is, I looked and looked for a slightly used phone and never scored one sadly, I would up grabbing a OneX NIB for under 400 and couldn't say no to that price.
However I still like an want a OneS, nice form factor coming from the DHD and really is a sharp looking phone.
Would I suggest one to my friends, in a heartbeat.
Get yourself a OneS an rock on.
