Hi everyone!
I have bought my nexus one used, and I would like to know if it has the amoled or the slcd screen.
Can someone help me?
Thank you.
Easiest way to find out? Start the phone in the dark. If you can see light where the screen is black, you have an SLCD. SLCD has a backlight that lights up the whole screen. AMOLED lights up each individual pixel, so a black is truly black and dark on an AMOLED screen.
Otherwise google will show up a lot of results on determining between an SLCD and AMOLED.
Thank you! I have the slcd..
But I still love my N1!
Supposedly, the SLCD version is a better screen and is better on battery with the more common uses. I have only had AMOLEDs, so I have never compared the two directly.

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.

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

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

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?
Strange question maybe but being SLCD I think I am right in saying the blacks will not be as black as a SAMOLED screen and that the brightness of the screen overall cannot be dimmed down as much as other types.
My question is whether the brightness can be turned down enough to be comfortable in the dark when reading text or does the brightness practically blind you even at its lowest?
Incidentally, just how black are the blacks?
I would say if you've seen an iPhone 4 the blacks are similar to that. Not nearly as good as amoled but still decent. And you can manually lower the brightness to a pretty low level. It doesn't strain the eyes in the dark. The capacitive buttons on the bottom are actually brighter at the lowest screen setting.

Thanks for that.
My first experience of slcd was with the dhd, I've also seen the slcd screen of the nexus s and can't say I'm that impressed with either black levels or ability to lower brightness to a comfortable level. Hoping for better from the IS but somehow think I'm being optimistic.
There's always screen filter from the market but that's not nearly as effective on slcd as on samoled in my experience.
Swings and roundabouts, always!!

The Desire HD does not have a SLCD display, only a normal one.
OK buy either way its neither amoled or samoled so I'm sure you get my point
Has anyone experienced LCD image burn-in on their captivate? I just noticed yesterday that when I have a web page up I can look on the left side and see Pandora Radio's controls.
well modern lcd's dont expereince burn in and the captivate doesn't have an lcd it has an oled tft not lcd tft. specifically it is "super" amoled. yes amoled screens are suseptible to burn in but not as much as standard oled. however it is very apparent on att display models in the stores. that said i run mostly dark themes and dont have any burn in that i can see, my phone is coming up on a year old.
Edit: Beaten to the LED thing.
Just to clarify, the Captivate screen uses LEDs, not LCD technology. That said, LEDs are much more susceptible to burn-in, and my screen has it. It's most noticeable around the notification bar clock at the upper right, since it's almost always displayed. It's most apparent on solid or almost solid screens.
It doesn't really bother me, I guess.

well leds aren't suseptable to much loss of brightness but oled technology doesnt use the same type of semiconductors. it is organic light emitting diodes. the organic material deteriorates over time.
in oled there is no lcd or backlight. the organic led's are the pixels
dont associate oled too much with leds because with lcd's led backlights are far superiors to florescent backlights. not only in color balance and temperature and power consumption but also in longevity.
Thank you guys for your replys, it doesn't bother me too much. I was just checking, I leave Pandora up all the time while I am at work and now that I have this information from you all, I know to not do that so much.

Hi
i have two Samsung galaxy s i9000
One screen looks a bit dull and slightly pink and the other looks really clear.
The dull one is old.
Both have been flashed with the same Rom and are both set us the same
They should be all the same. Are both phones the same origin-carrier?
Sounds like a problem with the pinkish one. Is your kernel voodoo color enabled ?
(But if the phone is old, it may be that the screen is getting, well, used.)
we sell phones, we have brand new and second hand units, regarding the lcd... sometimes if we change lcd screen theres a different resolution between the china-made lcd which is cheaper than the original lcd we sell. did you.change the kcd before? is it second hand unit
Neither phone has had a screen replaced. I've had both from new.
The pink on is 14 months old and the other is two months old.
Only noticed the old one looks poor when i got the new one.
Ill try take a pic.
Will have to use each phone to do it no camera.
A video of quadrant would really show you. Ill see if i can use my mates phone later
Im sure i read somewhere ages ago that the screen can get burnt like with the really old big back monitors do you think it could be that.
There are no marks like battery or the signal bars like you would expect.
Its like someone messed with the colour and contrast or something
they are both amoled screens, right?
usually it shoult last longer than one year, but amoled has a really short lifetime, compaired to all anorganic screens (e. g. LCD)
expecially the blue subpixels (physicaly more energetic than read light) gets weard out a lot faster
and organic screens get weard faster if they get hot or warmer than they should (cooling the screen extends lifetime (in a bag <-> close to the body)
but this are just some background informations, i cant really imagine that a amoled screen is used up in around a year
try to flash a new and a same ROM
then tell us
this may reset all reselutıon parameter on both of them
Maybe the new one is Galaxy SL. Samsung stopped production on i9000 and started making i9003 with super clear LCD displays. Maybe the new one is that.

But amoled has better quality than sc-lcd
But Super amoled screen display a pinkish white when viewed from the side. This was eleminated when Samsung put sclcd displays. So, the old one may be amoled and new one sclcd

AMOLED has better black and bright colors, but it's less clear and has problems with some colors. Mine, for example, has problems with gray: it looks terrible and it turns to red on lower brightness. AMOLEDs are also very different, one producted batch of screens can be pinkish, other one - blueish, third one - yellowish.

Thats right, middle brightness is not so clear.
I'm a bit hesitant to return to an AMOLED screen, but I've heard they've been much improved upon over the last couple years. Reviewers have so far gushed over the new Moto x screen. But, comparison shots where the X is placed next to screens of other top devices shows that the whites are "off". I'm not so concerned about somewhat oversaturated colors, but it's always the whites that bother me the most.
Is it possible for a kernel dev to come along and allow for the possibility to tune the color temperature, as has been done with other devices with IPS LCD screens? Or, is there something with an AMOLED that would make this impossible to do?
This will get better over time as blue degrades faster over time than red and green
