How does the Jewel match up to other contenders in terms of Display?
All I know the screen on the Gem is looking GREAT!!
Anyone?
AFAIK 480x640 is the highest res available on a phone.

Actually look at my signature - I had a Toshiba Portege G900 about a year ago and it had an 800x480 display and it was just 3 inches. So info is not accurate. It also had a slide out keyboard fingerprint authentication and was kinda ugly but the display was breathtaking... Sony Xperia will also use the same display!

Some screen shots of such device I must see
Pic please!!
800x480 is kind of pointless.
The Diamond's 640x480 at 2.8 inch display equals 286 ppi. The naked human eye can't distinguish details beyond 250-300 ppi.
Should you have a higher resolution, you would need a magnifying glass to notice it. Hence a higher resolution on a display of that size is a waste of pixels.

I see your point - but I am designer and have been for 10 years and can easily tell the difference between 600 DPI and and 300DPI and that is also for PPI - as far as the display on the Portege is concerned it was by far the sharpest and best display I have used on any device also it was true widescreen so the extra pixels where definitely not a waste.
Put it this way a website when scaled down in say Opera will look noticeably better on the 800x480 screen than it would 640x480 and thats fact, when it comes to fonts as long as you have good eyesight there are far more readable smaller in that res. Also you can have a higher PPI setting for the overall OS allowing more info to be displayed on a today screen - but for that you need good eyes lol

Well, there is a significant difference between PPI and DPI. In the case of DPI it's actual dots surrounded by white areas (if the paper is white). Pixels on the other hand, when back-lighted provide optically more of a gradient. As a result you can spot difference in details somewhere between 500-600 dpi, while the limit for PPI is about 300. Of course it depends on the distance at which you are looking and how good your sight is.
The 800x640 on a 3 inch screen gives sqrt(800^2+480^2)/3 =~311 PPI while the Diamond's screen is sqrt(640^2+480^2)/2.8 =~286 PPI. So they are both in the 300 dpi ballpark.
As for the extra pixels on the Protege - well, of course - it has a bigger screen and extra screen space is always valuable, there's no denying that.
My point was simply that for a screen size like the Diamond's there is little use in significantly increasing the resolution - the human eye simply can't see the difference. If you have a larger screen, then of course you'll need higher resolution to get the same PPI. (Standard computer TFTs are by the way usually in the 80-100 PPI range).
Cool.
I put the Diamond next to its biggest contenders.
Fruitphone, BB Bold First in the world to have it in Chile!!!, Nokia 95 8gb. etcc..
All the mentioned above had a crappy screen compared to the Diamond on full brightness.
All the contenders ran away with there tails in between their legs
So yes simply with the naked eye you can really tell the difference between the high res we have on the Jewel.
Display Type TFT capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
Size 320 x 480 pixels, 3.0 inches
- Scratch-resistant surface
- Accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate
- Proximity sensor for auto turn-off
- Timescape UI
So is it true is it scratch resistant?
Just saw some sites on the web and the conclusion is probably yes.
As I see, the screen itself isn't scratch resistant, but the phone's housing is made of a really sturdy material.

I want to ask you guys about a phone but it is not fafmous brand and doesn't xda forum
it has 5.7 inch screen and 257 ppi ( 1280*720) is this screen good i mean the quality of images not the size

Hello. An bigger screen need more ppi and bigger resolution to make images look much better, but this also mean that the screen will consume more battery.
In my opinion, the screen you asked is pretty fine in terms of specifications, but you should keep it in your hand and try it by yourself to see if it satisfy you

How far behind?.. Apple fan much? How can you even compare, iPad Air 2 has a LCD screen and is 1536 x 2048 pixels (~264 ppi pixel density) and the Tab S is a OLED screen with 1600 x 2560 pixels @ 359 ppi. So if you say the iPad screen is better, its not on Pixel Density, I for one prefer the OLED, blacks are incredible as they arn't lit up. You get a micro SD card slot so you can expand your space which is better for a tablet as you can add lots more videos and games and music to it.
If you like iOS so much, buy an apple watch, an iMac, an Apple TV and an airport time capsule and put it all in a white room and eat apples all day and post in an iForum

oled means:
- eye burning
- Motion Blur
- Bad Battery Life
LCD = clouding, light bleeding, uneven brightness, dull colours, harder to read screen in sunlight.

Is there a screen protector on this phone that I can't see or it's just grainy? I haven't seen a grainy phone display for years, I know it's pentile AMOLED and only 1080p, but grain is really obvious lower brightness on white/light backgrounds

I also see a grainy display, sometimes it's bothersome especially on views that have same solid color. Coming from an original Pixel XL that AMOLED screen did not have a grainy image.
Yes gradient/blur pictures/wallpapers look terrible on this phone ?
No such grainy display in November. Bestbuy retail.
