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.
Hello,
I like Sensation but screen consumption seems high (as in all phones)...
I saw that HTC One S has the same resolution and the same size screen as the Sensation, but AMOLED.
Anyone know which pinouts have each screen module?
Because they are similar phones, maybe have same screens (pinouts).
If not i whould make small changes (if pinout are same but in different order).
I hope display driver (chipset) are included in the LCD module, not in the motherboard ...
I think about buy HTC One S screen on ebay when available (now dont have) and try to change it ...
(im not sure about sub-forum of this post... y think "sensation accesories" fits better than Q&A because Q&A posts are doubts about software, not hardware... if another sub-forum are good please move to them..)
I wouldn't do it. The One S screen would recieve a current it's not supposed to.
because different voltages and currents of the tft screen i need driver/chipset in screen board.
If driver are in screen board, flex cable that connect to motherboard takes digital signal bus and may be the same in both screens.
For example: there are many laptop screens that uses different lcd panels (with different control and backlight voltages), but all of them have same connection: dvi mod (now).
why not just buy the one s if your gonna be dropping cash on a screen for one.
This is a good idea, if this works. I'll be down to actually do the mod as well.
so.. when sold htc one s?... i think now, but y doesnt find anything about this and his replacement parts...
Any moderator would move thread to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1425 (hardware hacking).
I think is more apropiate... (if think "no" dont move xD)
Just to add the complexities that danirebollo mentioned, another big issue is that the mainboard might be a totally different layout. You might have to do a custom cable. Also, the thickness/thinness of the panel might be an issue.
IMHO, it would be cheaper to sell your Sensation and purchase a One S instead of modifying & purchasing a new panel.
90% of phone screens are not compatible with each other. If you find two that do, it's a coincident rather than the norm. And if I were to go through so much trouble as to source a replacement qHD Super AMOLED screen, which I'm sure won't be cheap to being with, I'd just get a new phone.
if that is possible, count me in, ive bin looking into it ever since i switched over from the samsung vibrant, but never really made any brake throughs

Agreed, I tried to upgrade the SoC by putting my R1 engine in it last night, and would you believe it, it didn't fit. Unbelievable. I wrote HTC a very strong letter of complaint ; )
Sorry, it's that time of the day here in the UK where my silly side rears its head.
Would be a good mod if it worked but I doubt it very much for the reasons mentioned, plus, is the didgitiser bonded to the screen in this new generation of HTC phones?

Well as far as I know, the only way to change the screen on one of these is to change the entire motherboard with it, I found this out at somewhere is the desire thread because many of he desire phones had smiled screens but then Samsung couldn't produce them fast enough and switched it for slcd but people wanted amoled so they swapped it all. Maybe if we asked HTC about being able to swap the screens ( yes it sounds stupid bit what else can we do?). Although the chances are amazingly thin we could request it from them that if you send the phone with them align with the cost of the amoled screen, they should replace it or even ****ing tell us how or if it can be friggin done. Power comes through numbers.....
Yeah, if someone finish this work, I maybe have a try

lol?? why sooo sarcasm??
some phones have same lcd screen (no digitizer), it hasnt rare idea... the only problem was different tecnology (LCD->OLED) but normally the only important was control bus, i2c, (i dont think these screens need this bus), and video data...
i dont know now if it is possible until i have both pinouts.
The other problem I would think is that the touch screen driver wouldn't work with the new screen

I have spoken to my manager regarding this and unfortunately we cannot advise any customer to change there device specification or hardware as this will void the warranty of the handset. I then went on to ask if our repair centre can perform this, unfortunately we cannot request this as this then support customization of the devices which is against the device terms and conditions..
I do apologise about this however we are unable to perform this request.
This is what I got from HTC asking if:
a) if it could be done.
b) if they could do it for us if we payed.
So I'm guessing somebody will have to try it on their own first. GOOD LUCK and God's speed.

Another problem,
I upgraded manually a Nexus S i9023 (slcd, like sensation) with android 4.0.3 leaked pakage in december. This package was made for i9020 (super amoled version): Android run beautifully but when you go into recovery you can't see anything (if you use a very bright light you can barely see the text of the recovery) cause it has drivers for amoled screen.
I suppose that if the screen change is possible you could also have problems to see recovery that is made with normal sensation's screen driver, imho.

We need some experts on this but HTC won't help

If this ever works, it will end like Motorola's Cliq multi touch patch. While it might work, the screen voltage sensors won't be calibrate correctly and will end burning the screen (if you don't believe me Google it). The same could happen to the screen in general, with wrong voltage its going to break.

Hello
My I9023's SLCD screen is busted and I need to replace it.
Can I use an AMOLED one like the one on the I9020?
Screen Replacement
From what I read. Those two type of screens are not interchangeable. Something to do with the digitizer stuff thing. That's why BLN apps are harder to implement on SLCD types than their AMOLED brethrens. Better save up and sell your broken phone for parts and get the AMOLED equipped Nexus S if your still up to it. Or I could be wrong. Just my 2 cents buddy.

I'm in the same situation with my i9023 but i'd like to repair it by myself. I've read some threads that after mounting the new screen everything works but the touch, does this happen with both brethrens (SLCD, AMOLED) or just one in particular?
I know i made a few posts criticizing it but this is the best phone of 2017 in my opinion and i love it so much and there's also one weird thing i like about it and it's that it has lcd and not oled and that's cause somehow i find lcd way more comfortable to look at and it's just better for me.. But also i wish htc will use lcd in their upcoming sequels cause i will sure be switching to them i also got my dad to buy one a few days ago too and im gonna try to get my friend to buy one too.. I want htc to survive so i will try to help out as much as i can this is literally the best phone ever and it has the best camera when using google's camera app with hdr+ on.
i get surprised too with the screen!
Screen
Hmm... interesting. AMOLED has really nice blacks, but tbh, you don't really notice the difference between the dark grey of LCD and pitch black of AMOLED when immersed in content. But if do try and look, the blacks are much better than LCD. However, I do agree about the LCD being more comfortable to look at; the blue tint of AMOLED is more than likely to the layout of pixels (Pentile arrangement rather than RGB, like on OnePlus 5).
What do you think about replacing the stock LCD with some nice AMOLED, lets say in case it gets shattered? Plausible?

Unless you are an OLED screen manufacturer, I don't see OLED coming to the zenfone 6 anytime ... soon, or rather NEVER LOL.
But.. if you are a manufacturer then hell yeah, i like to have options. and would buy both type of screens to keep it for the future. :highfive:
