Bravia Engine...all time?? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I know that our display is fading when it stands vs HTC, LG, Samsung screen but if we make Bravia Engine always ON the situation changes, the screen could be equal or maybe a little bit better than others with more power consumption.
So its this possible..to have bravia engine in games, homescreen, anywhere in sistem? As I read on the internet I didnt found an exact answer for this question.

Theoretically it would be possible but the battery drain would be enormous ATM, unless Sony delivers some tweaks!
That's probably the reason why they haven't done.that in the first place!
Sony.would be better off with an oled display, tweaking it and sticking the BE2 ENGINE or x-reality into that, saving battery consumption. Then they would be unbeatable for a while!

I guess not.
And my screen is better than the sgs4's. I can't see a big difference between mine and htc one's either.

Not really. I can say that HTC One has easily the best screen on the market.

I think it would be better if the devs try ing to get be2 or x reality to work on unlocked bootloader.
For crying outloud.....my galaxy nexus has be2 but a sony phone a little modified couldnt get be2 to work when its unlockud? Its sonys concept wtf....hahahahahahh

Once sources go out for GPE Z Ultra, I'm quite sure devs will port X-Reality and other handy features.

In the past I was like my sony xperia z screen is the best and I could not BELIEVE all sites that sayd that SXZ has a weak screen(like on a low end phone) and when I compared with a Samsung Screen(s4/note 3)..i Was like nooooooooooo way my screen its ****ty...
And I said I dont understand so SONY ..sells 13 MP camera and screen to others but for them they cant do a good screen or a really good camera.

When i compared my screen to a sgs4's one i was like omg is my display bright.
And the s4 had only bit better colours but nuffin more.

OK its quite late , but I can suggest you some alternative try it and lemme know..
google is your best friend , search for Screendim.apk and install it
enable it and set the bottom bar ( contrast ) for about 60% and the brightness on top for about 60-70% and now tell me how dark or colorful your screen looks
this defnitely works.. not perfect but close to BE alwasy ON types..

Fanboy alert. You didn't see very grey black, fogged colours, bad view angles etc? So you have some problems with your eyes (or just fanboy). Even 2 years old phones have batter screens than Z.

Nope. Neither my Xperia S nor my Xperia Neo nor my Nexus 4 nor everything i've owned had a better screen.
Maybe there are some people on the world who like natural colours, becoz after looking at a amoled display my head hurts.
The display of the lg g2 is the only one which impressed me though, this is miles better, but nothing else.

If you display some screen calibration patterns while using bravia engine, you see how bad it is for fidelity. It just oversaturates, tints, and destroys detail in brighter and darker areas of images/videos.
If a phone has a screen of 300/1 contrast ratio, there is no way some software can improve this, it only can put some make up but at the cost of some other things, just like LCD's are doing since the beginning with dynamic contrast and all that bullsh*t, where you see skin become shiny bright and where there used to be a dark grey shadow over a black background, then it becomes all black and no shadow.
BE is the first thing i disable in all my Sony products, and its equivalent in any non Sony product.

I think that our screen without bravia its complety UGLY! :-&

I never had any issues with the colours on my device. Infact I prefer them this way as opposed to colour popping and extra vibrant. Infact I turn down that setting on my LCD monitor. A friend of mine did a side by side comparison against his Samsung device and the 1st thing he notices was the colour was more toned down then said he actually preferred the Sony display. Point is some ppl like the toned down visuals and others like them vibrant but funny how as someone says they have no issue with the Sony display they are labeled a blind fanboy.
As for viewing angles, Also never had an issue with them due to the fact that I always take up my phone when I want to look at it (always, its a habit of mine) and never just glance at it while it is on a desk or anything like that.

Xperia Z Screen is OK, i have been using it everyday since launch date, viewing angles may be low, but that is something i forgot completely in everyday use. Screen brightness is more than enough, contrast is ok, and visual fidelity is great (as long as you have BE2 deactivated).
For people saying there were better screens two years ago, please point me to a device released two years ago with a 5" FullHD screen with better specifications.
We all know the XZ screen, today, is not one of the best FullHD screen on a smartphone, but it was the first released.

I don't think they need a doctor or anything, it is a matter of taste, there are people who like viewing screen with oversaturated colors and overdriven contrast just because it is more eye catchy, for god's sake they even ported the bravia engine to the galaxy nexus, and there are people who even enjoy it, if the nexus screen weren't oversaturated enough... let's oversaturate it even more and add a lot of detail loss due to contrast overdrive by BE.
Oh, also forgot to mention, "nits", why the hell would we need a screen with a gazillion of nits if at the end of the day we are all using the brightness bar to decrease it to save battery (or using the Auto mode), at the end we all are viewing the screen with about the same luminosity, it doesn't matter if our screen has 10 or 8.000.000 nits.

Yup, really, 441 ppi doesn't have anything to do with color reproduction, Bravia Engine 2 could, but here it doesn't...and Xperia Z it is another league, that's why 4X is AWESOME
Just look video from 2:40 wow XZ is owned by X4, Sony take my deepest sympathy...:crying:

Actually, that's what I expect. It's brand new while our 4X is nearly a year old. Things change fast these days. Three years ago the best you could get was 900MHz single-core with 480x800 screen. Two years ago the best you could get was the 2X with dual-core, still with 4" display in 480x800. And it was until last year that the quad-core phones and HD screens were introduced. So it's the logical next step, even higher performance and even better displays. What doesn't mean our phones are obsolete now. Android can't even handle four cores properly.

And about "sense",i prefer UXP :good:!
The only thing blind is your nescience.
Videos doesn't do any justice to how beautiful the Xperia Z will be. Hell, my co-workers HTC Droid DNA has a 1080P display with 440PPI...and my O4X doesn't even get close to how sharp color reproduction is.

So is the screen THAT bad?

Hello,
As i am today a not very-pleased s3 owner, i decided that i will give Sony a try for the first time. After looking much at especially the V and the Z, i`ve decided that the Z will be the phone i will enough pleased with.
Anyway, i habe been reeding alot about this phone the last days, and i keep reading that the screen is not "good" enough, and that is something that concerns me.
So i am asking YOU GUYS that are a lucky owner of the Xperia Z; How does the screen feel like? Is it relly THAT bad as people is talking about? I really want this phone. I love sonys interface and water+dust proof is a must for me these days.
I hope someone can give me a good answer.
Appreciated !

I would love to check it out, but here in Norway we dont get it before 6-10Mars. I went to the store today to check out the display on the Xperia V, and i gotta say i liked it alot more than my Amoled S3.
AW: So is the screen THAT bad?
Screen is just fine. Lots of exageration.
The vieweing angles are sub-premium, this is true, but perfectly ok. First its only the colours which wash out a bit, its not like you wouldnt see anything anymore plus, to be honest, how often and for jow long do you look at your phone flat and sideways...?
I like the screen a lot. Nice colours to look at, insane resolution and pixel density , everything is so damn crisp and clear. I mean hello, its a flaghship after all, they dont dare to put utter bull**** in it. As I said, lots of exaggeration.
TFT with high resolution. Colors are bad.

Yesterday I tested 3 Xperia Z with bright pixel. But finally got one that has none.

Depends on your definition of good colors.
When looking at photos vs one x without BE turned on colors are pretty close to the real thing including vibrancy and saturation. Now if you are the kind of person that likes unhealthy yellow skin tones, better than real life colors than yeah colors are no good. When people say it looks washed out they actually mean it is not punchy the truth is that when you look at the real world vs s3 and one x the real world seems to be washed out
Stop this BS already... screen is very good.
The only "problem" with it is colour saturation in UI. When BE2 kicks in, and you're on 60%+ brightness, colours and brightness are amazing. And since BE2 doesn't change the screen's physical properties - it means that the screen itself is perfectly fine. The only thing you can be unhappy with is UI's default saturation values, which are quite low, probably to make the difference between media and UI very noticable.
Also, it's true - "washed out" colours are actually a lot closer to natural colours. If you want very saturated colours all the time - you might not be satisfied. If you want completely oversaturated colours - go for AMOLED, they're amazing in producing rich, highly saturated colours.
For me, coming straight from an S3 to this, it really does look washed out, no mater how you look at it.
However, I think that this is because the S3 had very over saturated colours. If you do decide to go for the XZ, you'll be disappointed at first, but it feels much more premium and you'll start to realise that the S3 seemed like it was in Shop Display Mode all the time!
Ultimately, the choice is yours, but don't be downhearted if you go for it and you're initially unhappy with the screen.
EDIT:
Which is basically what everyone else has already said here.
Maybe Sony should have added a samsung mode where it sets the saturation up to 120%, the contrast to .800 and maximum brightness to 50% so you can't see anything when outdoors.
I think you'll be happy with the screen if you upgraded from other xperia family phones. But if you will compare it side by side with other 1080 LCD phones like htc butterfly, hell even with HTC One X which has 720P and a year older, Z can't match overall display quality. Trust your eyes. To see is to believe.

All Sony screens are very good from my past experience, people are just used to over saturated colors that other companies do to their phones. Also, you eyes will strain much less when you look at Sony screens for extended period of times.
Also, I don't understand what's with the ruckus of angle viewing, seriously, how many of you out there actively view the screen from a angle? its just retarded to compare that, it's not even a point.
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
I personally really like the screen. I hated the screen on the s3 and thought the colours looked unnatural and oversaturated. With the XZ, while it may be 'washed out' to some, I actually find the colours, contrast, etc. quite nice to look at and natural. The s3 and the like hurt my eyes. Plus viewing angles aren't half as bad as I expected them to be given all the hysteria regarding them prior to release.
I posted this in the other thread "clearing up the....."
"I have now spent 48 hours with my XZ in the UK. I really like the display. It is sharp, vibrant and realistic in terms of colour and saturation. I could not get on with the amoled display of the HTC desire and the samsung galaxy. Too unrealistic imho. The bravia engine takes it to another level for movies and pictures: It will impress your friends!
I was hesitating with the iminent release of the HTC one. I have absolutley no regrets. It is a beautiful phone and a beautiful display."
well if the only downside is "bad view angles" and "low sturation" its great display because
1. i look my fone from front not side
2. i dont like too saturated colours (red must be red not burning red example)
3. resolution n ppi is high enough to make clear and nice pic
here is some screen comparisons

It heats up just like the S3 or any other dual/quad core cpu smartphone. You won't find a smartphone with a cpu like that which won't heat up - unfortunatelly.

As stated here, no cooling fans etc, high cpu speed packed into small bundle, very limited to disipate the heat generated. No phone is not going to head up significantly when under load, the more Cores and GHz the more heat
Hey guys I also upgraded to Xperia z from the note 2 (went for the looks, ignoring the inside cooks)...
and I also made the dealer apply a screenguard on that phone straightaway...
But the picture quality of the phone seems to be a little bad than note 2....
I compared both the phones having same pic on both the phones but note 2 seems to have sharper images....
Do I have a problem with my phone or is it like this originally.?

I got you perfectly.
Turn off Bravia engine and see what you think, I feel it affected the sharpness, I came from an S3 and think the display on the XZ is incredibly sharp.
As for the "dull" colours, it's probably because the SuperAMOLED screens in the GN2 and the S3 were very saturated compared to the LCD in the XZ, personally though, I always used my S3 in "Standard" display mode which removed much of the saturation and I'm a lot happier with the more realistic colours of the XZ.
The camera on the other hand is a different story, and I find it difficult to get photos that come close to what I could take on my S3, too much post processing I presume on the XZ, and they don't do a very good job of it.

Take into consideration the resolution of the image you are testing. This is a full hd screen so it needs full hd images to compare or it will just stretch them causing blurred.

has any one notice or read somewhere about screen leakage

Bravia engine works only in the gallery and videos, I taken. Into account the user interface as well

I see, I'm afraid I can't really contribute any further to the discussion in that case. personally I think on my device it looks much sharper than my S3 did.
Does this issue show up in a screenshot? Perhaps there is some strange graphical issue with your device.

tweaking the CONTRAST?

Hi, i recalling a few months ago about a post in xda, people said that a possibility to tweak the CONTRAST for our Z or ZL screen, to improve the viewing angles. NOT the white balance settings. Someone mentioned abt tweaking the KERNEL values or some sort, just like the improvement of screen colour that Sony done from firmware .350 to .434. I am very sure that if we can tweak the CONTRAST values, viewing angles will be solved. Can any dev help?
Till now we don't have a capable developer to do it.

Just take an example Xperia Ion, although the screen is not as premium as our Z or Zl, the contrast is great! hopefully some Dev can put some attention to it and our Z/ZL would be flawless, as good as the Z ultra's screen!!
Doomlord is currently working on gamma controls.

how many layers does ion's screen have and how many the Z (glass thickness protectors, etc.)
more thing on top means more light distorsion and colours fade sooner. anyway why you want uber viewing angles

Oh really? Wow, thats worth looking forward to!! :good:

[X-Reality] What is it?

Introduction​So I was wondering what X-Reality is and decided to search it up.
I found a video about X-Reality, explaining what it is and what it does.
I decided to test it out myself. Using a port for the Xperia V.
I want you all to watch this video and reply about what you think about this.
Is it worth the port? Is it good?​
Video​Click here to watch​
My Personal Testing​So after a few testing with Bravia Engine 2 and X-Reality,
I found out that there's not much difference in the quality.
I can't provide proof. That's why I want to discuss this with you all.​
Actually, you cannot compare it with "unofficial" device
The best compare, it's with real device which support X-Reality engine
Also GPU and display density can make soo much different

True but based on what she said in the video, it doesn't have any difference.
Yes you can trust her research. You can learn more about it in her Triluminos video. There she explains things more deeply.

Yea. I watched it. Seems like X-Reality isn't a big upgrade from Bravia 2.

Yeah and its almost nothing compared to Amoled
True but from time to time, Bravia Engine 2 actually makes the screen looks much sharper than Super Amoled.

Have you taken the time to look at one of the recent Amoled devices from Samsung like the Note 2 or Gs3 there actually a bit on the dull side at times there screens don't have as much pop as the older Amoled screens of the past though there is defiantly some improvements as so as the Gs4 as well with it being even sharper with a better colour range or something the Trluminus for mobile is at least a decent display I'm sure it won't disappoint to bad I'm hoping and waiting for Sony to launch a device again compact like the ZL but like the Z1 in the spec department before I buy another Sony smartphone .
