Should I do it?? I know it's a bit weaker then the Opo but it looks awesome.
What do you say?
I wouldn't, but that's just me. Any other reason besides it looks awesome? Big downgrade in screen resolution and quality. Don't expect too many more software updates on the gflex.
Have you ever seen someone else with OPO on the street?

From what I read and see on YouTube the resolution isn't that bad.
The only thing I worried is the updates.
Well I'm still thinking about it

It's a downgrade from 1080 to 720, which isn't all that bad on a small screen. But it's also a downgrade in every other hardware sense too (CPU, RAM, etc). And LG aren't very well known for keeping up with updates. I wouldn't make that trade if I was paid.

Not possible. The only screen that it would be able to use is the super lcd that it normally uses. Other screens even if you could find one the same exact size, resolution, and connections probably wouldn't work properly if at all.

awww darn i wish there was some modification cause i would like amoled or lcd2 cause im jelious of the htc one x / v
Just take care of that lcd you have right now. Im having a huge issue with the lcd i have right now, there are 3 versions as far as i can see. The so called hitachi-60H00519, the Sony-60H00623, and the one i have on this phone which i dont have a clue about it and it seems like no one else does either, 60H00532(I dont even know the brand). It looks exactly like the Sony version but sure enough i bought a Sony lcd thinking that it was going to do the job and nothing. Doesnt turn on or anything. So people pay good attention to those numbers when you have to change yours so that you dont run into what i did. Worst thing is that i cant find my version on Ebay or anything.
What are your screen viewing angles like? Mine seems to be quite poor, it washes out off centre quite a lot. Im wondering if I have a bad unit or if its just normal for the N5.
Looks good to me. Haven't received mine so I don't know if it's a bad unit.

Not compared to what im used to it isnt. My last few devices have been AMOLED screens (no comparing to these, just a comment) or the HTC One LCD3 which has perfect viewing angles with no changes to the screen at any angles at all. Its somewhat worse than my Nexus 10.

That's normal for LCD, that's called backlight. Nothing faulty here. I also own the HTC One and it has the same effect as well when you tilt the screen.
EDIT: I see what you mean now, when tilting the screen exactly like you do (45 degrees vert/hor). It still is not a faulty unit, it's just that LG has less prevented the backlight from coming through. Maybe its because of the slim bevel. I have seen it on other LG devices before though.
To answer your question, I think it's normal for the N5 .

Well my HTC One doesnt change at all at any angle. The screen is perfect even if you look at it from the edge of the phone all colours and lighting are perfect!
Im fine with it if its normal for the N5, but if there are better units id prefer one of those.

Both are HD Widgets with colorform add-on.
This does not seem right. Now i don't have my N5 yet, but on my N4 i can look at it from almost 180 degrees and it loses almost nothing no matter how i look at it.
I have the same problem. When I turn my Nexus 180° my screen isn't visible anymore. Is it normal?

I see what you did there.
But on topic, when you see a phone screen is IPS you kind of expect it to look great from off angles.

I totally agree with you. But dude, it looks great in any way.It has also to do with brightness. Throttle your brightness slider all the way to right en your N5 has perfect viewing angle. Even with 90 degrees. I had the Z1 before the Nexus 5. I must say the Nexus 5 does a waaaay beter job than the Z1. So I ain't complaining right now.
Might be a personal thing. After all, everything looks beter than TFT(regarding viewing angles).

Yup. I spoiled myself since my first LCD monitor was an IPS screen so when I look at TN screens I can't stand them.
The poor viewing angles of my Nexus 4 has been one of my biggest gripes with the device. I popped into the carphone warehouse today to check the viewing angles of the Nexus 5 and from what I can see it suffers from the same problem Not as bad as the Z1 but not as good as devices like the HTC One from what I can see. Shame.
Getting my N5 today so i'll do some experimenting. my N4 has perfect viewing angles from anywhere. only very slight discoloration. nothing like OP's picture.

So good displays are out there on the N4... I'm on my second device but both have had pretty terrible displays
yeah i guess i just got lucky, and if that video comparing it with the oppo is legit that i'm insanely disappointed. If the screen is that bad i'm returning mine. I'd love to have the better camera and some of the other features but i'm not going to keep a garbage screen.

Crappy screen is a no go. I will receive mine on saturday. If it also has this **** angles, i will return it.
FU LG for producing such a ****ty Display. I want HTC to produce the next nexus!!
Yeah i realized that the quality of senny's front camera is very poor.
I just imagining how to change the camera using other front camera hardware.
Is that possible?
It has 1.3mp quality, but depend on the result, it just like a hell crap vga quality image.

Probably not going to happen. Internally, the design only allows for the camera that's pre installed. Everything from the shape to the design of the flex cable and software is made to support the unit HTC built for this phone.
Now if you're able to build a new one from scratch and alter the software it could be possible then. Why not consider the One X or One for the better cameras?

senny's front camera quality is quiet poor,but it is only in low light and night condition.On sun light,at least its better.
one X and one are expensive as hell,even much expensive on second hand prices.

That's true! Just wish they made the internals more plug and play friendly for people like us who want to upgrade their phone components without having to purchase an entire new phone to do so.
Have you checked eBay? I've seen used One X phones sell between 110-180 which is close to what a used Sensation is going for around here as well.
If you can repair a broken screen, you can find them even cheaper than that. Might be with considering upgrading if you can sell your Sensation and break even in the process!

it is better to be have a phone without any fault instead of having broken screen issue,just only way to have is to save/earn enough money to buy an one X or an one.

Most definitely. When you're ready to upgrade, the good news is if you decide to sell your Sensation, with the One X, your out of pocket cost will be minimal!

Hello,
my stepfather just bought a new Nexus 5 directly from the google play store as I did half a year ago.
At a direct comparison of both phones I recognized a huge difference between both displays.
At the attached pic you'll see his brand new Nexus on the left hand side and mine on the right. I'll hope the quality fits to show what I mean.
As you can see the nexus on the right is much more "snow" white compared to the "beige" looking white on the left.
Both brightness setting is to maximum. Power saving mode is disabled on both too. The only difference is stock rom on the left and cataclysm rom on the right.
Is that normal or better to ask, is it possible that the display quality can various that much?!?
I know each phone is slightly different produced but I think this is a huge difference..
Thanks for any reply ?
Display quality varies. Many people report yellow screens.

Give it a few weeks before you try the RMA route. A lot of folks have said that it gets better with time. I don't really buy into any electronic "burn-in times" but you've got nothing to loose at this point. Also people have RMA'd and gotten a device that looked worse.

Some said it was the glue and it got better. Others just corrected it with kernel profiles.
No idea what the cause is myself.

Thanks for the suggestion! ?
People have been reporting screen color variances/yellow tint since the device first came out over a year ago. Even if Google will allow it, exchanging the device isn't likely to yield better results. Color calibration can be changed with a custom kernel. The simplest way to correct for yellow tint would be to flash ElementalX kernel with the option for cooler color profile enabled.
By removing it I mean bump the statusbar down below the notch and make it black above it. Not the bs that OnePlus did.
Your sacrificing a lot of screen space like that.

Why on earth would you do that? Then you're just wasting a part of the screen. If you don't mind the notch, keep it. If you do, use it as a black statusbar. What's the big deal..?
the best solution = Sell your op6 and buy a 5t
Upgrade to the 6T when available...

So I could see all statusbar icons like vpn, headphones and more. Also app notifications. Since this device uses an amoled display it would also save power.

Rumours say it will still have a notch. Even if it didn't have one I'm not gonna buy a new phone just 6 months after the previous one.

Nah it would be like 16:9 which I'm used to and it's not that much space. Bezelless phones have never been a big focus for me but the one sd845 phone that has no notch was the s9/plus which costs double.

uh yes it would because this phone is meant for 19:9 so your sacrificing part of your screen on top and bottom. Where is your logic for thinking it's not. The physical screen isn't going to automatically change so you're just going to have black borders. :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
