HTC Diamond Screen Contrast

Okay today i bought my US version Diamond from ebay, yeah i said it ebay, im just a poor man w, BUT! The first diamond i had was a UK version which i bought from Expansys 600 $ .
Now i seen many people have this problem the "yellow contrast tint" on the US Diamond, so i am writing this post to ask should i even bother contacting HTC, about the Yellow Tint? and would they fix it (Swap LCD screen out to a normal one), under warranty or even for money?
Or am i better off changing it myself with a replacement lcd screen from ebay or from any where else i can get my hands on one?
Also the reason this is a problem for me, seeing how some people can deal with it, its that the dullness of the screen actually hurts my eyes, seeing how i wear glasses.
Thank you in advance for any advice you may have for me.

Also my display has contrast yellow tint. (Italian Diamond)
The other, however, seems to have the contrast blue tint...

were you able to fix it? My screen has the same problem

hi
no fix htc wont help either and charges 163 to rep the screen so best bet is to buy a diam100 screen and rep it yourself

I supply HTC Touch Diamonds for my clients and set them up with software that we make here and I can safely say all new Diamonds have the yellow screen. We've tried to source them from several different locations, every one of the new ones has a yellow screen. The ones we get are mostly DIAM100's as well, so the model number doesn't dictate the screen tint. I've still got one of the original diamonds with the proper white screen and I'm glad I do as I can't stand the yellow ones.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE just MAKE A CONTRAST PROGRAM FOR THIS PHONE!!! ITS SUCH A SHAME!!

I've got a US Diamond with a white screen, thankfully.

As far as I know, the underlying technology in the screen doesn't support it, so it'll be a tad pointless.

from what i was led to beleve from orange sum diamonds are made in china (the good ones) while some are made in taiwan for a portion of the price, these cheaply made ones are the ones with the screen tint issue!! i had to return my diamond a few times b4 i finally got a decent one lol

this is really a deal killer for me. i was about to buy a us version than read that us versions are prone to yellow screens but if this is true, even the euro versions are now all yellow!

I am glad to see this issue has been brought up. I've got 2 Diamonds from both regions as well, and can confirm this 100%. It was actually the first thing I noticed when powering on the American Diamond for the first time.
My only guess is that the American version is using a cheaper LCD, as the blacks looks more like washed out grays. The whites, are this off-white cream color, its just not healthy to look at. The backs of both my Diamonds are 'Made in Taiwan'.
So I'm sticking to the European Diamond as it looks a lot better, and I can easily live without 3G.
On the Left, European Diamond
On the Right, American Diamond

I have a Vodafon UK version and days before a friend of mine got a diamond that the white was like you say "white cream"....
so you wrong saying that the european version have a cheap lcd. mine is colorfull and bright.

The same problem on my Diamond from Orange Romania.

Same probleme with my Diamond dressed in white ^^, but its not that bad as show on the photo, its only a little bit yellow.

i`m from romania and i buy a htc diamond from france , paris , and the screen its not yellow .... its white/blue .......

LCD display

I broke my digitizer and LCD display and bought the replacements via ebay. Both were "OEM" or whatever.
I replaced them, and the digitizer seems to have worse multitouch than before. I understand that it sucks, but my 2 points never used to get confused when they crossed axis, (or so I dont remember them getting confused).
But also, my LCD seems to have a pink hue to it. I definitely know mine did not have this before the break. I read over a lot of posts here and elsewhere about the pink hue problem. This doesn't appear to be a browser problem, but an actual hardware issue.
Should I return the LCD and get a replacement and hope that the other one I get will be regular, or are my odds slim to none. My previous one was NOT pink whatsoever. And this new one I noticed it right off the bat.

N1 screen isnt LCD... did you get an LCD or an AMOLED?

Well it's LCD with LED backlight. I believe the company I got it from off Ebay got the OEM product directly from Samsung.
It is the same as the one I had before. The part number on the display is the same as the one on my original cracked one, 60h00287-00p

So the colours are a lot more bland and the black isn't really black? You would most definitely know if you got an LCD, it would look ugly compared to what you had.

Are you SURE its an LCD? as andrew said, the nexus only has an AMOLED screen which is a completely different technology
if it is indeed an amoled, then you may have gotten an ATT nexus amoled which is known to have a purple/pink hue

Well what I'm saying is the p/n written on both displays are the same, both from samsung. Which means, yes, it is a AMOLED display.
I don't think it's a case of an "at&t" display being sent to me. My nexus one was for at&t, and I didn't have such pink issue. But this new display does.

well china sells a lot of fakes and they can match up stuff like that.....
and not all nexus display this kind of saturation. Do you have a picture so we can see the extent of the hue?

it doesn't show up much in pics.
but I think it's beginning to fade. I've been leaving the display up with a red color. and alternating through white and black.
Here's a pic I took. But again, it doesn't show up much in it.

nah its noticeable on the keyboard and borders. use if for a while and see if the screen conditions itself. that is the same hue i believe that some att users were mentioning

It's worse to the eye than in the photo though.
I'll see if it fixes itself.

hopefully it just needs to be broken in

At 100% brightness, the pink tink is barely noticeable.
Actually, anything above 50% brightness and it seems fine. It's when it gets lower than that, it starts to look pink

[Q] Screen Color Balance Warm?

Just received an Incredible S & have a few questions. Is this the normal color temperature for it's screen. The phone on the right is a Samsung Exhibit II. Both should be at full brightness. Whites on the IncS look like a cream color.

Also odd that I bought the phone from Amazon.com & it seems to be meant for the India according to the software # & that English (India) was the only language option. No wonder there was no sense update. The warranty should still be ok in the US?
I got this phone to use with my legacy T-Mobile data plan for 4g & tethering. Both work fine unlike the Exhibit II but I notice that the wifi hotspot shows a 3g symbol. I seem to be getting 4g speeds tethered(other then ping) to just testing on the phone. So the 3g wifi hotspot is really 4g where there is service?

Can anyone just look at their phone LCD & compare it to another phone or their monitor & tell me if the colors on this phone are suppose to be like this?

I've ask this on another Android forum & have gotten no replies there either. I don't know why, but I hope this isn't how the screen should be normally & everyone is in denial. In any case contacted tech support & they do agree that the color balance is too warm in that picture. So I will be sending it in soon & hope that I get better screen back.

my screen seems normal compared to my mac... guess your piece is faulty ... good luck with the new one

HTC repair had a pretty quick turnaround getting my phone back to me in about a week. Unfortunately they don't tell you what they fixed/replaced. I sent it in for loose USB & warm color screen. The USB is better & even the speaker sounds a little better, but the screen I still think is rather on the warm color temperature side.
Can I have some more confirmation from other Incredible S users if the colors are really this off. It's a shame since the screen looks nice with anything besides white. It's something I could probably live with if this is just how it is with this phone(maybe I'm just too use to cooler screens). Here's another photo comparison to my old Nokia N900. I know the camera has it's own white balance processing but this is how it really looks to my eyes.

Same thing on mine, I think they want to mimic the color temp of AMOLED display that I hate. TBH I really hate AMOLED over saturated colors. Still this thing is a little better than AMOLED still it's nowhere as good as my Dell UltraSharp .

So I'm not alone, but is this the norm or just a panel lottery? I wonder why they can't just supply software controls like on PC's so we can adjust colors to our liking.

I guess this issue is only with the incredible S manufactured lately...one of my friend bought INC S some two weeks back...I compares it with mine (I got it when it got released) n found put that the display had a yellow tint...we reported to the shopkeeper... he told us that this issue is only with latest INC S...
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium

two of my friends have inc's and their screens have the blueish white tint to the screen as mine is a warmer yellowish tint.
i had to replace the screen on mine a couple of weeks ago and it still has the warmer tint .
have gotten used to it and i only notice if i put it next to my friends phones..

It is a bit warm colour on my IS as well, especially when I compared it to nexus s SLCD version. However, before the comparison I did not feel any uncomfortable looking at the screen.
Without proper tool to analyse the screen and give detailed statistics, It's hard to tell if It's faulty or not.
Different manufacturer/technology makes different screen, such as super amoled tends to be greenish on nexus s and lots of people love it. So I think It's down to personal preference and taste.
However, if you think yours is too warm, don't hesitate to get a replacement.

THe first batch of Incredible S phones had a ACER manufactured screen, but later the displays came from SHARP which have not the same quality.
I saw this on a Dutch forum:
This guy has 3 Incredible S (don't ask me why.)
Phone A: Bought on 17-03-2011
Phone B: Bought on 20-07-2011
Phone C: Bought on 18-04-2011
It looks like Phone A and C are from the first batch and B with a SHARP screen.
HTC does this also with other phones like the Sensation

So on the chance that HTC would replace my screen I wonder if one could specifically request an Acer? Probably not and they might not even have those screens anymore.
Not sure if ACER would be better anyway since I found this about the Sensation screens "To really sum it up, the Sharp screen is slightly less "vivid" than the Acer. But the Acer has ghosting, tearing and flickering. In short: more issues."

Backlight bleeding poll

How many of you have at least some light bleeding on your N7? I've got some minor bleeding in my bottom left corner and just wondering if it's pretty normal on these tablets.
Here's a good app to test for it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeleveque.backlightbleedtest&hl=en

Very minor for me, only noticeable on the boot screen (Google logo).
I am more bothered by the washed-out screen after playing movies:

No backlight bleeding here.

I have a nice back light bleed line along the entire right side of the device :-(

Terrible light bleeding along the left side.

I feel sick with that bloody screen...

Yep. The one I got from the Play Store has bleeding in the lower left corner. I already called for an RMA, my new one should be here by Wed I hope.

Got mine from the Playstore. Ever so slight on the bottom right (held landscape). Most people probably wouldn't notice but it's annoying me. Might RMA tonight. Can this be done without sitting on the phone to Google? Last time I could hardly hear the guy.
Has anyone tried tightening/loosening the screws inside to rectify the leakage?

I tried. It doesn't help a bit. Rang Google from Australia and waited for a long time. Got an email from them with instructions to arrange pick up from FedEx but the guy forgot to attach the RMA form. Reply via email and no reply for over 12 hours. Will call them again tomorrow.

In all honesty I put "none" even though I saw some in the bottom-left corner also.
The reason I put none is because I had to use screen test to turn the whole screen black and turn off all the lights and ambient light sources in my room in order to see it. And even then, it was very, very minor.
People seem to complain about their N7 a lot, but my own experiences with the hardware have been flawless, barring shorter-than-advertised battery life

You are the lucky one I guess. Today I went to a retail store and buy another one. This one doesn't have the light bleeding issue, but the screen flickers a lot, and this issue is very visible in a dark room and with a white background. Contradicts to what others are saying, the flickering happens in all apps as long as the background is white.
Disappointed but not entirely unexpected with any brand new product.

Has anyone got a photo of the screen working perfectly? I get paranoid that I'm being to precious about the quality.

None.
Ordered from PCWorld UK.

Minor at top of screen and along the left side. Seems to have gotten worse since I've been using it.
Think I am returning the tablet to play store and not purchasing another. I don't have time to deal with defective hardware.

last picture on my review shows my screen.
it has HEAVY bleeding, now waiting for replacement...
http://smartphoneblogging.com/2012/07/review-google-nexus-7-hardware/

Pronounced with white bkg, not dark
Yes, 4 white blobs on the left side when looking at lighter colored apps.... like Google Play books, Google Talk, Gmail, Currents, etc....
Kinda bummed... on the fence about a RMA.

Wow, 35% here have backlight bleeding.
Oh QC, QC, wherefore art thou?

Mines is minimal but I've put in to return and NOT replace.
It's a great device so I'm going to try buying locally so I can easily return. Not spending another 50 minutes on hold to Google and wait days for email responses. Suspect Google have bitten off more than they can chew with this one!

Nope.... none here.

Nope. Google Play UK.

I have two Nexus 7's, Both have different screens.

I have two nexus 7's, one is a replacement which i got last week and the other is from the day of release.
While both screens have the same colours and resolution you can clearly see the difference in the photo below

Different factories?

New screens are worse...the vibrance on mine is terrible; colours have no depth.

I think is the quality of the IPS display. Because some ips displays are factory calibrated differently.

Most probably a different vendor for the screen. Asus does not make everything and some of the parts are sourced from different vendors (they should all have the same specs within tolerance). We used to face this when I worked with Laptops @ Dell.
The only difference I have seen (with laptop screens) is that sometimes a part form one vendor may be more prone to faults than the other. No way of telling which though till more defects are found.
You should be fine. But interesting observation though..

i went through 3 rmas with asus and i can tell you the difference is not screen dependent, but calbration dependent...they changed my screen 3 times, only the third time color changed, and thats because they changed the board(which downgraded me to an 8gb variant-.-)

Same here. I have a C60 8gb from August and a C90 16gb bought in late October, and the screens are different. Very very clearly different.

Make Nexus7 owners believe someone else has a better screen than them, and raise the RMA level....

Yea differnent release models.. Different hardware. The new screen should have some advantage over the old one, maybe longer lasting, maybe its brighter, or maybe its just cheaper to manufacturer lol

what does Apple have to do with this??
Anyway... is there a difference in touch response? i have the C70 model and it isnt as good as my Galaxy Nexus in touch responses.

When I was purchasing a replacement screen for my laptop on ebay I could choose from different companies that all made screens for that specific laptop. ie Samsung or LG.
