Super LCD on refurb nexus ones?

Has anyone who needed to replace their phone with a refurb recieved one with a SLCD? I am wondering because of the whole amoled shortage and all. (I prefer SLCD over AMOLED)

Haven't heard of any on the boards here... Oh, congratz on your Nexus For some reason I thought u had a HD2

LOL, I did, just sold it XD. I will report when i get my refurb soon, just need enough money so they can see that I am good to send to. I really dislike the unaligned "pixels" on AMOLED screens. SuperAMOLED or SuperLCD FTW.

I just swapped mine out with HTC and the replacement has an amoled screen. Did they even start selling the super lcd's?

i'm with you on that one. i also have an AMOLED Nexus One and i HATE the pentile arrangement. It's a joke that the inventors claim that the differences are not visible from certain distance, because i can see them very clearly at normal distance.
I'm just waiting for the Dev Phone to be sold with SLCD and then i'm going to buy one and sell my AMOLED version.

i just got my phone back from htc and it looks like i got a brand new one so how can i tell if i got AMO or SLCD?
thanks

Just look at it to tell the difference. Does it have the pentile display? (oled) Or does the black look washed out? (lcd)

i dunno im so used to my g1 cuz i took forever to send it in, it just looks so good i cant tell, i'll wait until my buddy stops by with his so i can compare

i just got a new phone from htc (my old one i turned in for warranty repairs) and it came with an amoled screen. i was kinda worried about getting the slcd since i did the swap right around the time of the announcement.

I wish they would do that. I don't mind blacks being a tiny bit greyer, so long as everything is symmetrical and easy to look at. It took me like 3 days just to tolerate text or anything on the screen.

yep, compared to some old WVGA LCD screens like on the Touch Diamond 2 (hell, even the td1 display was great) or the Motorola Milestone, the Nexus One AMOLED PenTile display looks like utter garbage when showing text.
Reading this fuzzy text for a longer period of time is really bad for the eyes. Nexus One was a superphone in many areas when it was released, but the display was a major step backwards.

I don't know what's the fuzz about SLCD. There are comparison videos online you can look up. SLCD obviously is worse that AMOLED. The brightness, color vibrancy, and visible angle are all worse than AMOLED.

X2!!! indeed!!!

Replacement phones are refurbished n1's, and since SLCD on nexus was announced after the consumer version was discontinued and there have been no reports of the dev phone having SLCD, I would say that it is safe to assume there is not going to be any SLCD anytime soon.

Didn't someone mention that the fuzzy text can be corrected by the driver of the display? Currently the text ant-aliasing is suitable for traditional RGB subpixel layout, but it is possible to correct this on a pentile subpixel display. I wonder how probable this is. Some people said that text look sharp on the Galaxy S. Maybe Samsung has corrected this issue with software?

Hmmm, I would rather Have the darkness of AMOLED, and the pixel alignment of an LCD.

Hmmm Monday I will be able to order the refurb, paypal is stupid and makes money transfers to and from the bank 3-5 days long. So I cant have the money on hold yet to do it.

I would also like to know! AMOLED and SLCD which is better?

I am getting my refurb soon hopefully. I will post what I get.

[Q] HD7 Screen

Does the US T-Mobile version have a S-LCD screen or a TFT? Every review has a different answer it's driving me crazy! I cant tell I have a TFT on my G2 and the HD7 screen looks better but it might just be because its 4.3".

Honestly I would tweet this one @HTC on twitter and trend #wp7 to put some pressure on them to answer.

The best way to get the most accurate answer would be to tweet @htc the question and trend #wp7 in the same tweet so they actually answer it in this lifetime.

It is a normal TFT, not a S-LCD.

From what I can see and almost every review and or tech specs I have seen it is a Super LCD screen.
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2636&c=htc_hd7_16gb

They are nonsense tech specs that have never been been given out by HTC. Look at a direct comparison between an SLCD screen liek hte HTC Mozrt against the HTC 7, and you'll notice the HD7's is far much inferior. That, and it appears to give the same colour reproduction as the HD2.

These are just some of the links that do state it does have a SLCD. Even if it had just a TFT LCD I still would love the device. Coming from a Vibrant on T-Mobile I noticed that with the SAMOLED displays that the colors are over saturated and not a true representation (that is my opinion though). It also looks like as Super TFT screens are also knows as SLCD screens according to the last article i posted
Merry Christmas
Eric

And none of those articles state any official HTC source >.< Its also worth noting that ordiniary LCD's also don't give accruate colour reproduction, instead giving dull, undersaturated, cold feeling colours. Depends whether you prefer vibrancy or not - most people prefer more vibrancy

OS change
hi guys any of you have shifted from a galaxyS to an hd7? Was it worth it.. as considering there are few messenger apps in the market? im thinkin of shifting from "fragmented android" to WP7. Just the thing that worries me is i could just find one messenger app out there.. namely FIM. I really love the Metro UI
Moreover GSMarena seems to be complaining about the sensitivity of the screen. Is it true that its not sensitive..also the blurry text issue.. If someone could please shed some light on this.. Thanks

I'm not having any issues w screen sensitivity. also, my screen is bright, clear and doesnt suffer from some of the issues from some reviews. however, the display sets i used all had poor screens and fade when viewed from an angle.
bought mine in singapore and the screen is better than my hd2 screen.

Thanks for the tip. I didnt get this part though."the display sets i used all had poor screens" yu mean had replaced your HD7 a couple of times till you got one with the right screen?

[Q] Is the backlight bleeding now fixed ?

Hi everybody
I'd like to know if LG has now fixed the backlight bleeding (at the top corners of the screen) on this phone or is it still there ?
I like the build quality and the other specs but the bleeding made me sell the first one I got 4 months ago.
Thanks

Friend bought a set in early July, with a battery manufacture date of around end-may. Backlight bleeding still there at the top 2 corners, and lower right corner.

It won't be going anywhere, pretty much anything with an IPS LCD screen has it, iStuff included.

noobish question from relatively advanced user, but can someone explain or even show a photo of a screen bleed, Ive had a HTC Desire which the screen was fine, and the lg o2x which seems fine, but many people are complaining about the screen bleeding, just wanting to know what is so bad about it that you would change your phone???

Get in a dark room, crank the brightness to max and make the screen black (drawing program will do). You'll see it, kind of a glow from the corners. It's not really a huge deal in daily usage for most I reckon.

Got my second o2x couple of days ago..

Thanks for the photos. The bleeding on mine was yellow/brown which doesn't seem to be your case...

.... and what is the real point of this? I probably have the same bleeding (I won't make the try) and in a 'normal' usage (i.e with a multicolor screen and some lights around) I couldn't even have the slightest idea that such an issue could exist (I use my phone daily for 3 monthes)
So it's only a psychological concern, for people that need to have a Zero Flaw object in their hands even if the Flaws are invisible?
I'm sure as Rusty! said that you could find this in many LCD devices....

It depends how huge is the bleeding.
I had 3 O2X and one wasnt huge but the 2 others were awfull : the top corners were brown/yellowish.
Unfortunately, I sold the good one to buy SGS II...

This has something to do with the screen specs, can't be fix.

2nd image is not backlight bleed but typical IPS off-angle white glow. Has to do with the filter used for IPS panels; almost all IPS LCD monitors have it.

well than i think the backlight bleeding will forever be there .
even my friend asus transformer has it .

my phone is a week old and has bleeding on the top corners..
You dont notice it when you dont have a black screen!

I9023 Touchscreen glass replaceable?

Good mornin' (At least for europeans^^)
Somebody knows whether to get the Touchscreen glass and it is possible to replace it? Have replaced it on many ios devices and others. So I think I have the needed skills. Reason is my NS falled to the floor as I wanted to put my keys in the pocket but there was the cable of my headphones too .. anyone has some links for a tutorial and for a Shop 2 buy the glass?
Greetings from Hamburg, germany
Sent from my oxygenized Nexus S with br41n.

im pretty sure the super amoled screens are attached to the glass, so to replace it you have to buy the screen/digitizer/glass as they come in one peice. not sure about the slcd versions though

I9023 is with super clear lcd

yep it is the SLCD version.. damn I already thaught so that I have to replace it all in one.. okay, thankz guys!

Mate new screen cost only 52$ about 35 Euro so it is cheap and replace is not so hard

yeah, but in germany the screens are at 50-100 euros, and in the end.. 50 euro is okay but 100€ is it not worth.
will look after good and low prices, thanks

same problem here, although i dont feel it loss sensitivity to touch or anything, just a huge crack on the middle of the screen.
someone knows where to buy a glass for nexus s in portugal?
thks in advance

look at this thread forum(dot)xda-developers(dot)com/showthread.php?t=1063148
and this youtube link
youtube(dot)com/watch?v=zpfE15Xw_os&context=C26c49ADOEgsToPDskLL-yEGmEnXU0KVUs2_Esgx
by the way I didn't have luck to get the SLCD touchscreen working, even that I tried three of them, nor this guy in youtube video.
If you get it working, please share.
Cheers,

Anyone found a solution for this problem yet?

Mine, the i9020a has the Super AMOLED screen.

Is the super clear better than amoled?

Xiaomi mi5 32Gb has some rhombic grid on screen

Hello people!
My new xiaomi mi5 32Gb black has tiny rhombic grid on whole screen. How solve this problem? Replace display or maybe flash some other rom?(now installed 7.5.6.0 maacnde)
Before it, phone had issues with resolution of some picture miniatures in instagram and some other web sites, poor quality but after flashing its gone.

Mine has it too. It's not very noticeable sometimes, but under direct sunlight it becomes somewhat annoying. Some contacts of mine and I think it's the digitizer pattern, anyway I'd like some explanations.
Mi5 128GB here, the screen is the same by the way.

it's the digitizer pattern

yeah, most of people think that it is digitizer pattern, but I know the digitizer pattern not affect the quality, resolution so on. it can be seen on sunlight, but hardly notable in the room. And it is different.
I think it is just manufactere defect.

Nobody can explain this better?

How much more detailed of an explanation do you want?
It's the digitizer, ie the touch sensitive part of the touchscreen. The input.
I didn't read the part about it affecting the screen quality.. Because it shouldn't do that.
Sorry.
