Replacement screen interchangable with z2,z3 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody know if the lcd screens are interchangable. mine died and am wondering if id be able to put a z3 screen as it has better viewing angles.

No you can't, z3 screen is bigger and some other hardware/software stuff like compatibility etc..

Z1 display replacement - which display to buy?

Cracked my screen, don't have a warranty
I was thinking of ordering the display myself and replace the screen in a mobile shop by an expert
problem is, which display to order?
for example:
http://www.witrigs.com/oem-complete...rts-for-sony-xperia-z1-black#customerreviews1
http://www.etradesupply.com/sony-xperia-z1-l39h-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly.html
30$ difference in price? what gives? also do i have to buy the lcd glass or it comes with screens listed above?
i know sony makes Z1 with several different types of display, how to know which one is the one with better viewing angles or the one without the yellow hue?
i am using C6903 - display is cracked at the top near the notification light and screen doesnt register touches in the upper area (i cant pull the notification menu down)
tnx

The Xperia Z1 comes with a TFT capacitive touchscreen.
No ips display exists.
You'd better get an original Xperia Z1 screen to replace the broken one.

How is white balance for you ?

Hello there,
I bought my z3c off amazon, noticed after a while the screen got quite pinky when at lowest brightness.
So i got a replacement. Just before I send back the pinky one, here is a comparison between both screen (left : pink & old phone, right : yellower new one). The picture was taken at custom 5000K with a nikon reflex, then color balanced to 6500K in lightroom.
not sure what to think about this pretty big white balance difference between only 2 random devices.
Any insight is welcome.
Cheers.
Do you have any of the color enhancement options enabled (X-Reality or Vivid)?
I have both turned off and find the phone's white balance is actually better than most people seem to be experiencing.
I do notice that some Z3 Compact displays look different. For example, the ones displayed at a Sony Kiosk here look different (more bluish) than mine.
I think that Z3 Compact is not the best screen I've seen. I've just sold a Galaxy S5 and it was a better screen.
What I see in my Z3c is that the screen is not very uniform, specially in low bright modes.
Despite all, the screen is good. I hope that Z4c would be a bit better.
Tried with xreality things on and off. doesn't change a thing.
Oh and the replacement device i got from amazon, it has lightbleed this time
Seriously, poor quality control from Sony. sending them both back. tired of this $h1t :/

Z1 display colors to washed out

Hi guys, I'm facing a problem with me Z1 C6903 with S/N CB51xx which I guess it's packed with JDC panel and from what I've understand, are one of the worst kind for Z1.
The colors are way to washed out for my taste, even if I look at the display dead on. I hate this....I've played with "White balance" on different settings, but didn't find anything that could fix colors being washed out. It's like, the screen is to bright from the factory to compensate the sunlight visibility, which I understand, it's really nice, but consequently the saturation gets washed out. I don't know what SONY was thinking....Opticontrast my asssss, I WANT VIVID COLORS damn it
Is there any solution to this ? A tweak in the build.prop or something, a workaround ? I'm running stock 4.4.4 / 14.4.A.0.157 btw.
Thx!
I know it's not justice for comparing the IPS desktop PC display vs Z1 display (see screenshot attachment), but just to get the idea of what I'm talking about.
Well... I didn't knew about different panels packed with different S/N groups. I have one starting with the same S/N CB512xxxx and to be honest I can't say it's bad or defective or simple placebo effect. The only thing that I've noticed is even on the highest brightness settings, my Z1 is way darker than my sister's M2 Acqua.
If it's a hardware issue as you stated then the only thing we can do about is change the panel and digitizer...
Edit: I bought mine on Germany.

Replacement screen advice

Hello i have cracked my z3c screen completely. I search around and find out that it cost around 120 euro for a new screen but i think doesnt worth it now, especially when phone worth less than 300.
Does Anyone experience any of those non genuine screens from aliexpress? I had use one before on my lg g2 and it was great except from the brightness but i can live with it. It costs only 30 euro.
Please share if you have any good or bad experience from non-genuine screens replacements of sony z3 compact
thanks
Right, off brand LCDs are not as bright as stock. But if you did not break the LCD, and just broke the touch screen digitizer glass on top, you will only need to replace the digitizer.
