The reason I am asking is because my brother and I both have the same phone (mytouch 3g) and his phone's colors are deeper/richer than on mine and the only difference is that I have a screen protector on mine and he does not. Is the problem my phone or is it the screen protector. I know I could find out pretty easily by taking off my screen protector but I want to see if anyone knows before I do so (once you remove a screen protector it is hard to put it back on).
A good one shouldn't. Its supposed to be clear
yeah that is what I thought. I think I figured out the difference between the two. His screen has a bluish tint and mine a yellowish one that is why his colors look better...(whites,blues,blacks). Is there an app that adjust the contrast/colors?
So is there a screen protector of some kind which makes the screen less shiny? When I am outside I dont see anything, when there is a bright lightsource around I cant watch a movie normally... I know the colors and brightness is better on amoled, but the screens refelction is annoying imho.
is there a workaround?
Try enabling auto brightness. It will cranked up the screen brightness in high light settings and lower it in low light. I use it and I can see just fine outside.
If you can't stand the shiny screen, you can try buying a anti glare screen protector.
Reminded me of this:

lol @ youtube
do you know if those anti glare screens work?
I have auto brightness on
The clarivue anti glare does help some out in the sun.
It goes from "I can't see ****" to "I can make out some ****".
you should have a screen protector to reduce smudges on the screen; and also like others said, enable the auto brightness. I have no problem with my Nexus under direct sunlight

HAHA. This deserves to be added to someone's signature.
I'm using a protector called UltraCase. They have three different versions. The antiglare is great and you can see it well in full sunlight. They ship from hong kong so it takes a while to get but is worth it. Their silicone sleeve is also fantastic. You paid a lot for your phone and another 30-40 bucks is well worth it. You won't be disappointed.

matte screen protector
I ordered the matte/anti glare screen protector off of ebay from dcmugen. still waiting for the product to arrive. will let you know soon. theres videos of it on youtube.
thx for feedback, I bought the clarivue anti glare online, lets see if I can distinguish some ****
so thank u muncheese and in your honor see below.
--edit--
why my signature not showing
got it in the mail today it works decently and has some advantages
I myself have pretty greasy fingers which always smear on the screen, with this protector that is a non issue. I like the strange new feeling it feels smoother and better.
so far so good, but it has one mayor downfall
the screen is a little blurred. since I have the anti-glare layer, its like there in an slightly un-transparent layer on the screen making the screen look a little blurry.
Although for some that might not be the price they wanna pay for the advantages, I kinda like it. I checked it out outside and no longer do I see my ugly face in the screen when watching a clip on youtube.
If you use your n1 much for watching downloaded movies etc then I would not suggest to use such a screen protector, but if you just use it for youtube or any other low quality stuff its not a problem.
how does it affect the readability of the small letters when surfing the web?

hardly. reading small lettered texts isnt a problem.
I don't know how to explain this. The corner of the screen is somehow 'broken'. I am not familiar with the construction of such an LCD display. I thought it was the screen protector....but it isn't, I can see by pressing with the finger that it is BELOW the surface, and it is not a bubble of the screen protector. Also the nexus 7 surface is one single surface, and there would be no reason why the screen protector would lift exactly in that point. It has something to do with the real display, below the glass surface. See photos.
The colours are displayed correctly. Also the problem is not visible on high brightness or lighter colours. But i simply hate it not having everything in the right shape, as much as i hate dead pixels (I luckily haven't for the moment).
Would this be a good reason to have it replaced by warranty?
The device comes from 'Mediaworld' which is a chain in europe (or mediamarkt, in germany). Would I have to remove ROOT before I go and ask?
my nexus 7's screen coating wore off on the right hand thumb spot (which is always used obviously)
it got to a point that i no longer want to use it, whenever i slide in that spot it feels rough like sliding my hands on a window instead of being smooth in other places.
is this a common problem or am i an exception?
i bought a screen protector, but it's matte so now reading text on a white background is really a pain, any ideas on what i could do to fix this?
it sounds like you need to replace that screen protector, just buy and apply a new one (glossy), as matte looks bad on low density displays. a pic might help too on the forums
good luck
Hello everybody,
I just notice today that my screen has brighter frame all over the edges. It is not very noticeable, i can even say that it is faint, but it is there. And it it constant all over the edges so is not light bleed ( i know what light bleed is, i had many devices with light bleed) . It is more noticeable on white or light grey background . I think it is the glue that keep the digitizer and display togheter.
The phone is 1 year old.
It is a common issue or is just mine? Ca you take a look at yours a little with a little attetion please?
Best regards.
I attached a edited photo that replicate the issue.
No replies?
You sure it's not your screen protector not sticking on the sides perfectly? The 2.5D glass leaves a "halo" effect when you put a screen protector on.
No , it is not the screen protector , i'm 100% sure.
