I have seen countless praise of the SLCD screen of the One X, but I just got mine and noticed that although screen looks nice, its a bit warm in colors making it look yellowish. Same thing with the display models I looked at in the store. Are all One X screens like this? Not really complaining, just curious

There is a warmer and cooler version of the LCD. All I can say is that my One X has the most accurate colors of any mobile device I have ever owned.

There seem to be at least three panel suppliers.
Warm tones often abate after a few hours of run time.
A recent firmware update reduced warmness greatly in the One X forum (international).
Some people seem to like the warmer ones and some people seem to like the cooler. I saw both side by side in the store today and prefer the cooler one because it makes text sharper. The warmer one is suggested to give better contrast, blacks and more accurate colors. The cooler one (Acer) seems to show gridlines according to the other forum.
My understanding is there are two different companies who are making the screens sharp and I believe the other is acer one is warmer and the other is cooler. I've looked at two stores and they both looked like mine kinda yellow (warm) especially near the bottom of the screen. Some people I have showed it to said they didn't see anything while others could see it. It really shows the most when in the settings menu. The colors over all are spectacular. So I figured I would get used to it and since both my local stores looked the same as mine I figured it would be difficult to get them to exchange in hopes of getting one with the cooler screen.

Anandtech had a Sony panel which might be exclusive to the XL.
The color accuracy is certainly better than my Note. It may not have the deep black levels, but that's all it lacks. And the blacks are still great.
I also haven't ran into any color banding or crushed blacks
I have seen both the tones
This is my third replacement. First one had flicker issue but the display was cooler (serial number began with HT23). Second one was warm display Serial number began with HT24. I exclusively requested the O2 shop guy to find HT24 (did a bit of reading before I went to shop) but that had charging issue...loll
The third one which I am using now is again HT23 from same stock but not a cooler display in fact warmer. I think there is no proper way to find out what display is what unless you open a brand new unit.
But certainly like all you have said, the tone is warmer on some devices (i prefer the cooler). If the brightness is turned to full it does take the warmness away but that is certainly not an option since it will drain the battery big style.

I don't think anyone in the U.S. or Canada's reported anything other than the Sony panel. I saw one in an AT&T story and I described it as dingy, maybe that's what people are referring to as warm. It could just be variations between different Sony panels. No one can produce millions of 312PPI small screens and have them all be identical.
Also on my third one...first one had a screen that went from warm to cool...it was really whacked out and especially noticeable when comparing to store unit. second had light bleed and a scratched/dead pixel under the glass (was hard to see but combined with light bleed at the bottom really ticked me off)...3rd one is great. screen is a bit warm but looks fantastic..and no other issues. I am surprised to hear to many issues with the screens on these phones.
Nice! Looks like the glue or something had to dry up, because im noticing the warmness wearing off and screen is starting to look better and better in my eyes. No banding nor light leaks. Looks like im one of the lucky ones

Mine is definitely warm, but its because I'm comparing it to my Sensation which is definitely on the cooler side. Here's a few side-by-side comparisons (taken with iPad3):

I happen to have these 3 amazing devices in my possession, and so I feel obligated to snap some comparison photos. Most interestingly is the last few demonstrating the bleeding LCD issue. This is the best I could do without a tripod. Order left to right: EVO, G2x, Nexus S.

G2x and Nexus Home:
Youtube (demoing blacks) EVO and G2x:
Youtube G2x and Nexus S:
Market (for greens):
And now the moment, all phones showing black image:
Angle view showing bad LCD bleed:
So here's my conclusion. G2x has most natural colors, the OLED on the Nexus just seems artificially vivid, but really there's not much difference until you hit the blacks. G2x has same LCD bleed as EVO, but 1000x better colors. So there you go, if you're used to OLED I can see why you're disappointed, but if you've been on an EVO LCD, the G2x is quite a treat. You can go wrong with any of these phones.
Wow. Thanks

Personally I think the G2X looks better in all cases. Sure there is some bleed on the complete black, but to be honest, I am probably not the only one that uses their phone in normal lighting, every issue I have seen posted regarding bleed problems are in a pitch black room. Hardly a situation that I would even come close to on a daily basis.
I think the G2X is great as is across the board. And I am coming from a Fascinate (Galaxy S phone).
Well done Ravin! Thanks for that comparison.
wierd
in the pics the 2 screens look on while the third is black. i dotn see it like that maybe its just the way the camera pics up the bleed. But i think this is back to the old plama lcd arguments. my blacks on lcd and phone are black enough for me maybe i have my mind convinced they are black

Well you're right, OLED is off when it's displaying black, that's why it has a massive contrast ratio. The camera isn't lying in those pics.
I have used both the NS and the G2X and I prefer the G2X over the NS. I sold my used NS the day I bought the new G2X and I am not looking back.
I haven't had any of the balcklight bleeding issues everyone is talking about and the speed of the phone is superior to that of the NS. The phone feels more solid in my hand then the NS did, the build quality to me is allot better then the plastic NS.
I haven't rooted mine yet, I will wait until a stable release of CM7 comes out and then I will take the plunge. I think once a nice stable ROM is released and the recovery flashing issue are resolved, allot of folks will make the switch.
Do you know what I take away from this? Seeing that 3 different high profile Android devices, all have the same 4 buttons, but they're all in a different order. Why can't someone say 'lets standardize on a single order for these buttons'?

The sad thing is the NS doesn't even have the same layout as the Vibrant...same company!
So check this out. I got a replacement phone from verizon about 2 weeks ago. After the first few days i noticed a slight discoloration in the top left side of the screen. You could only see if on a white screen, other than that it was pretty inconspicuous. However I was dissatisfied that my new replacement had this defect so I called and they promptly sent a new one with standard 5 day shipping!
So, as the week went on this weird spot that I can only compare to a grease stain on a piece of clothing, started to grow... every day it was a little bigger. It grew at a rate that was barley noticeable. I had to see what icon it was touching, and then compare that to its position the next day.
by last night (about a week later) it had grown to affect half of the screen. i assumed that it would eventually take over the enter screen and I would be left with a slightly shaded screen coloring.
when i woke up this morning, this is what it looked like

Its pretty much totally unusable. you can see from the picture that somehow the puzzle piece pattern burned into the screen (not sure how as that screen is never on for more than a few seconds, especially since it wasn't burned in last night and my phone sits on my nightstand and was not on).
Its like the screen 'ink' or whatever just totally failed.
anyway, i have the replacement already, but I wanted to share this weird story
the replacement phone is already listed on ebay and I will be upgrading to the HTC Rezound as soon as it comes out.
Definitely a faulty panel there.
Very strange to see it go that way, though. Pretty interesting picture.
BTW: These screens are not LCD, there's nothing like "Screen ink" in them. Each pixel is an array of 3 tiny LED lights (one Red, one Green, one Blue).

thats what I thought too. So what is causing it to "bleed" like that? by the way.. its only been a about 2 hours since i took that picture, and its almost entirely "blue". my guess is that in a few hours it will be completely failed
Probably just a bad run on the screen.
I'd be interested to see if there are more of them out there, since the panels are manufactured in large batches, so one defect should have several similar screens like it out there.
Could also be a fault somewhere else in the device, like maybe the display controller, and it's maybe overvolting the red and green LEDs, causing them to burn out much faster. (pure conjecture on my part)
I did just install ep3Ha on that the day I got it. wonder if its possible something went bad in the flash and toasted the screen, or is that even possible

no, this happened very very slowly. it looks like an LCD screen when you sit on it or step on it.. but no. since its not lcd it cant do that.
it took it about 7 days to get to this point.
I was talking to a colleague of mine who is an EE. He thinks it was a failure in the glue that holds the layers of the panel together. because of how it started, small and in 1 corner, it is similar de-lamination that can can happen in things like plywood. these screens are layered pieces of plastics and material that allows it to work as a screen. once it started to 'peel' apart, it was just a matter of time.
the screen slowly started to come apart until it reached a critical point. the result would be the same if you had the screen out of the phone and started to separate its layers.
seems to make sense to me, hes the EE, im just a physics major.. what do i know
I can hear the screen saying IIIIIMMMM MEEEEELLLLLTTTTTIIIINNNNNGGGGG

I got my HOX yesterday to substitute my galaxy note. Loving it so far. However, the screen seems to have the colors washed away. I realize that I moved from an amoled display to a LCD, but I just want to make sure this is to be expected and I don't have a faulty unit.
This is mostly noticeable on the xda app, where the colors on the threads page seem to be very washed out compared to my galaxy note.
See third post for pictures of the screen.

I think you would need to take a picture to actually show the screen issues you are talking about. With a pic, it may still be hard to see it. Screenshots will not show any defects with the screen hardware.
:banghead:
You're right, I will upload a pic later today.
Thanks
edit ---
Here are the pics. You're right, it is hard to notice, but hopefully somebody has seen both devices first hand and can share their opinion.

AMOLED screens are going to be a bit cold (blueish) so when comparing a LCD screen to an AMOLED screen, the LCD screen will appear to be warmer (yellow). But now compare it to another LCD screen from another phone and see what color it looks like then.
To be honest, I prefer the color of my LCD2 screen to my Galaxy S II SAMOLED+ screen.
Thanks for the info, will compare it to another LCD screen to get some perspective.

I think the colors are just fine. But to be sure you can take it to local at & t store and do some comparison with the display units that they have out there.
Sent from my HTC One X on Leedroid's ROM v5.0.0.
I had the Note for about 3 1/2 weeks, went back to my iPhone 4 for about 3 1/2 weeks, and then to the One X last week. I think the colors are just more accurate on the One X than what was on the Note. You're One X looks fine to me. I know you realize that the Amoled screens are all over the place with color accuracy and can really skew ones idea of what colors are supposed to look like. The colors are super oversaturated, often times the wrong hue, and everything has a blue cast to it.
If it's any comfort, I too, moved from a Samsung AMOLED screen and thought the HTC one x was experiencing issues with color. Too me, it all seems very warm and yellowish...but looks like that's pretty normal when I compare it to any other LCD.
Thank you all for your feedback. I have a record of bad luck when it comes to getting new cellphones, there is always an issue with the one I get.
This one is looking very, very solid so far. The only thing bothering me was the screen, but now I know it's supposed to be that way. I guess my mind got used to interpret blue as white due to the amoled screen of the note.
I imagine time will make it look better and better as I adapt to it.

My screen looks exactly like yours, its somewhat warm (yellow) and I'm not a fan. The demo unit at my local store looks perfect so I'm just waiting for inventory to flush a little maybe before trying to swap.
I posted these on the S3 forum, but thought HTC folks will be interested with the size comparison also.
Different wallpapers (S3 has the live wallpaper).

The wallpaper on the Galaxy Note is actually grey, and not black (meaning, it's not washing out the color, etc.)
Same wallpaper, and I also took out the cases on the both the One X and S3.
Another one, and just for kicks I added the iPhone 4 for size comparison.
It's tough to pick which one, and as they all look good (1000% better in person, than in picture). In the end I picked the One X for my daily driver for now. Although, I noticed the One X having a pinkish tint (noticeable on the clock). Both of the Samsung's showing better whites.
edit: Took out the "color" on the title to better represent the comparison.
that's relaly really weird. the most gripable thing about the gs3 screen and amoled screens are the whites as they appear bluish. the most praised thing about s-lcd2 are the whites. lol you might have a defective screen or something cuz you got that all backwards

thanks for trying, but to compare screens with the photos you took is kinda pointless, the colors are all off and the clarity is sub-par. You really need a calibrated monitor, a decent digital camera and the knowledge how to adjust to image to be correctly displayed if you want to compare screens over the internet.

You do realized I took this picture, right? Meaning, I'm looking at it with my own eyes. Although, I do have a calibrated monitor/decent camera as I shoot weddings on the side.
But you are right. For you guys, the color wont come across correctly. I should've taken out out "color" comparison on the title, and just keep the "SIZE" comparison.

Oh look. Yet another negative remark from bloodrain. What a surprise. Yeah.
Sent from my One XL using XDA Premium
From the previews around the web, the screen looks way too blue. I wonder if LG borrowed the RGBW sub-pixel arrangement that they use for their OLED TVs? I am not a purist who lives and die by color accuracy, but it would be interesting to know how LG's OLED perform and differ compared to Samsung's AMOLED.
its not that different. Also, LCD's don't have the kind of pixel death issue and thus higher resale than OLEDs. The wallpapers look nice on the G-Flex 2: i hope someone uploads them (in full resolution) sometime soon.
For the love of everything holy, call it by its real name P-OLED.
LG didn't say anything about WRGB, and they usually boast about such things, so I assume it'll be like the original G Flex and be RGB. At least it's not pentile.

Pretty sure it is. If I get real close I can see jaggies.
is this screen(OLED) gonna burn-in like Samsung's amoled ??????
I do not know if this is true or not but I remember reading somewhere that the G Flex 2 has 4 sub-pixels per pixel instead of the usual 2 sub-pixels found on pentile arrangement. I find that hard to believe but I am throwing it out there since it is not totally outside of imagination. But you would think LG would have gone for 2560x1440 if that is the case.. you know, at least for marketing. I know that the GPU will have to work harder at higher resolution (thus higher power consumption), but my general impression is that the display itself consumes more power than GPU, especially for non-3D workloads.

There will be uneven wear amongst different sub-pixels. That is the nature of OLED tech, and every tech in general. Once you start using electronic devices they all start to wear. The question is always the matter of degree and kind, and how it is mitigated.
So far next to my g3 this screen looks more colorful and just as sharp. Remind me of a Samsung device. Screen is pretty good if you worried no blue tint aleast from mine
