Htc Desire Amoled or SLCD?

Samoled is better made by Samsung
Slcd worse made by sharp I think.
Get the samoled as you can buy this part off ebay if you break it.

S-Amoled is not Amoled and its definitely no better than SLCD. Not even better than LCD. Well... it definitely sucks! Distorted colors and low readability when directly exposed to sunlight. Just my impressions of the Samsung Galaxy S.
Dunno about amoled screens, I've rarely seen one of them, but here is a comparison between the two versions of Desire: http://www.gsmarena.com/amoled_vs_slcd_htc_desire_screens_fight_it_out-news-1932.php
Seems that Amoled beats SLCD at power saving and brightness... I'd wish to check myself anyway.
I got a desire HD which is equipped with a SLCD screen and it's just superb for me!
In the end I'd suggest to get the one who looks better at your eyes.

I too have a Desire HD and I must say I am very happy with the screen quality. I checked out the Galaxy S before buying and the screen definitely produces much deeper blacks but colors seemed off, like there was too much saturation.
Desire HD looks more natural which is how I like it, you should check out both screens and compare.

Sensation vs G2X Screen contrast?

hello, I switched from a G2X to a sensation. My sensation is made in China, AUO screen, dated 6/7. Now I see people saying Sharp screens have better contrast, better black. In comparison, my G2x definitely has better screen contrast and darker blue. in terms of Whites, whites are as white as the G2x in the sensation.
I want to ask you guys, what is your sensation's color contrast like comparing to a G2X? please also state your Screen (AUO or sharp)

I have a sharp screen, it's considerably better than my g2x

How do you tell what screen you have?

I have a Sharp screen and a G2X. The blacks are blacker on my G2X but I could give two ****s which display on my mobile device has better contrast. Now if you asked me if I cared about contrast on my 4 LED Samsungs than yes, I do care about contrast and dark blacks on my HD TV'S. I am failing to understand why people care so much about contrast on mobile devices. People should be caring more about text clarity and brightness in direct sunlight. In both of those categories, my Sensation blows the daylight out of my G2X. When reading or looking at icons on my G2X after looking at my Sensation for a while, the display on it looks fuzzy. Seriously, the Sensations display pros far outweigh the G2X pros.

Once again, ill have to disagree, simply because the g2x's maximum brightness is much better than the sensation. I put both devices at 40%, and the g2x blew it out the water...

It depends on what panel you have. Why would you only put them to 40% when using it in direct sunlight? I have held them next to each other in direct sunlight, both at 100% and the Sensation is much more clearer. I can take a picture or make a video if you don't want to believe me. Even in a picture, the difference is noticeable.

I have an AUO screen and it's fine. The blacks can be just a bit dull but I mean, the viewing angles really are amazing. If I look on from literally 179° I barely notice any color change.

well more contrast is more pleasant to the eyes. to each his own though, I would prefer the bigger screen of the sensation over G2x.

I would also liketo know this. Could anyone let us know?

Interesting post.
I was doubting between getting a Sensation or a G2x, and finally bought a Sensation because of Sense and built quality. Well, I compared my old's HTC legend Amoled screen with Sensation's, and with the device in front of me, both are similar, but when the phones are for example in the car near to the radio (using them as GPS) and I have to look from a distance, legends screen is much better. Of course, I prefer Sensation's because of the size and the resolution, but legend's is easier to look from the distance (more color, light and angle vision)
I suposse G2x's is much better than legend's.
Just an opinion.

[Q] Sensation Display vs DHD

I have a Senation device and a DHD. Both should have a 4.3 inches Display, but I am quite positive that the diplay of my old DHD is bigger.
Has anyone the same feeling or did I smoke to much weed in the good old days?

I held both devices (screen on) above each other and yes DHD has a larger screen.

The DHD's screen is a bit wider, therefore the Sensation's screen is a little bit longer. HTC has changed the aspect ratio to 16:9 for the qHD resolution.

Its just that desire hd has a wider and shorter screen.

How does display compare to Amaze

I have a chance to ge tthis phone but I am worried about the display. The display on the Amaze 4G is clear and crisp but I read the opposite about the One S. Can someone that used both phones tell me how they compare.

I currently own the one s and I've had the amaze ill tell you this, the amazes display as far as pixels go is really good but as for saturation etc everything looks washed out especially in sunlight. The one s has the amoled which has richer colors. Doesn't have as much pixels as the amaze but it doesn't bother me.

The Amaze screen didn't look washed out to me. So quality wise what do you think? Does the less pixels make a noticeable difference? I always found amoled to have some over saturated colors. Is it the same on this phone?

I used an Amaze for a little while and I think I prefer the screen on the One S. The Amaze does look washed out to me compared to the Super AMOLED screen on the One S. Colors just look brighter on the One S, and black is pure black on the One S. Text looks a little better on the Amaze due to the pentile screen on the One S, but otherwise I prefer the One S screen. They are both qHD screens by the way. Same number of pixels. It's the sub-pixel arrangement that is different.

I just sold my Amaze, the screen on the one s is amazing for being amoled. its the first one that ive seen with true whites

I agree. I had a Galaxy Nexus and the whites on it were an off white and kind of grainy like paper. The One S does not have this problem.

Yup that's why I love amoled

I like the screen a lot, I can see the pentile matrix if I try, but it doesn't bother me at all. Still, white isn't really white. If I look at it from the front it has some redish color thingy it seems. If I look at it from the side it looks more like clear white. It doesn't bother me at all, though

Please explain how the One S does not have as much pixels as the Amaze considering both have a qHD screen. I suspect you meant to say that the One S has a pentile screen. Taking the time to double-check your "facts" is the best way to answer a question.

Ok thanks. I decided against the One S due to the non-replaceable battery and no SD card slot.

I have the One S, my wife has the Amaze. Though I love her phone (compared to her previous MyTouch 4G), the screen on the One S (IMHO) blows the Amaze away. The colors are incredibly vibrant on the One S. I came from the Galaxy S (which I feel also has a rich, deep screen) and the One S trumps it with ease.
That being said... Take my opine with a grain of salt. I thought the screen on the Galaxy S was better than the Amaze...

Screen compare Desire HD vs One S

Hello.
I'm just wondering if someone could compare this two screens. Is this in One S is much better than DHD LCD 800x480? How about text sharpness in web browsing? I've heard that pentile is a small problem.

The DHD has quite a large screen for 800x480, I don't think it would be an issue for you. I had a Desire S which was also 800x480, but smaller than the DHD so sharper screen. I noticed a very slight lack of smoothness when I moved to the One S, but the difference is minor and after a day's use you stop noticing it.

desire hd screen sucks big time imo. colours are washed out, worse viewing angles I have ever seen, blurry text.
The one S screen is in another league.

Desire HD screen suck.
I had both devices in my hands and I can tell One S is much better.

Thanks for Your opinions

AW: Screen compare Desire HD vs One S
Yes, DHD definitely has washed out colors and it's blurry. The One S has a better screen even though it also has PenTile.
