Desire HD screen

This is starting to drive me crazy, i just sold my amoled Desire for a very good price, i want to decide whether to get another Desire with SLCD or wait for the Desire HD, screen quality is very important for me
during the London event, HTC press release states 262K display for the Desire HD while the Z has SLCD, however in their closer look video they said its SLCD and then later removed it
looking at the hands on pictures its clear the Desire HD suffers in viewing angles compared to SLCD and it looks a different kind of LCD when pictured next to the Z, the SLCD is vastly more impressive (i already tried an SLCD desire)
is the model during london event a prototype? how can we tell if the desire HD will b receiving an SLCD or not?
looking at the official spec sheet and considering the Desire HD release is around the corner which means the stocks should be all ready, i think we shouldn't foul ourselves the desire HD screen is standard TFT which suffers in viewing angles like the attached image, this will be a serious downgrade for me coming from the desire amoled screen, the only plus it has over the HD2 screen is 262k colors instead of 65k

Everyone are saying that it will be 16M SLCD display...well, most of the people and reviewers. You will be 100% sure when it hits on market...around 15.10.10', in that time it will be many reviews and youtube videos...until than its all speculations
I would be very happy if it would be 16M SLCD but I'll tak it even if will be regular LCD...the inside hardver + softver + build is very important for me

Xperia X10 is a 65K, then damn

I just got an Xperia X10, and if this is a 65K screen, then damn, I mean the screen is so tight, no competition to AMOLED, but as far as LCD is concerned, it's lovely.
I wonder what 16M, would have done to it.

I love the screen on this phone. I hate the banding I get on some stuff but that is a separate issue not for discussion here.
This screen is bright and clear.
Every amoled screen I see looks to have a weird green tint to it.

lol I [USED] to LOVE my x10's screen.... until December 26th.. boxing day... when I bought myself an ipod Touch 4th generation with the retina display...
IT definetly changed my hole concept of the word "AWESOME"
X10's screen is crap.. brightness kinda sucks and the lack of 16million color is disapointing.. maybe ill correct this when bootloader is cracked and 16million color will be enabled but for the time being, it SUCKS

Xperia Arc Bravia Engine vs Galaxsy S AMOLED

Comparison of Arc and Galaxy S Screen. Looks good
http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/03/16/xperia-arc-display-versus-samsung-galaxy-s/

Easy win for the arc imo

On first sight the Galaxy might win, it's a bit brighter, and colors pop off, but compared to the Arc, it's just so unrealistic! The Arc really has a reality display, not a fake-fancy one!

S-AMOLED has a better black level, but arc's LCD supported by bravia engine certainly has a better display imo

Xperia z2 vs xperia z1 screen compare

XPERIA Z2 VS XPERIA Z1 SCREEN COMPARE
Link here(source):
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/02/25/xperia-z2s-ips-display-goes-up-against-the-xperia-z1/​

The viewing angles are obviously much much better on the Z2, but some of the head on shots were weird...the Z1 were actually BETTER in some of them. For example:
http://www.static.xperiablog.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Xperia-Z2-display_7.jpg
the circle thingys have much more detail in the Z1.
http://www.static.xperiablog.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Xperia-Z2-display_4.jpg
The water has more contrast in the Z1

Same thing over here. Z1 is less washed out.
Is it because the Z2's screen is brighter?

I think you got it. This and the fact that we are watching at photos of the respective screens rather than the displays themselves. Camera images always bring some distortion in such comparisons. Anyway, the truth remains to be seen with a naked eye. :cyclops:

I think it's just because it's on the Z2 brighter screen.

Z1 looks better in some pics in terms of color. IT might also look better when facing the screen directly because of higher pixel density.

THE Z1 has an awesome screen when facing it headon, super accurate colors (more of all the IPS) ecc ecc... so head on it should be on par with the Z2...

[VIDEO] Sony Xperia Z vs Xperia Z1 vs Xperia Z2

How many generations does it take to build the perfect smartphone? In this video I will show you all differences between Sony Xperia Z vs. Sony Xperia Z1 and Sony Xperia Z2. What exactly has changed between models and is it worth upgrading?

Nice comparison. I'll be able to choose a new device from August, so I'll probably wait for the z3 by then

Great review!
Btw. is it just my eyes or is it so that the Z1 has the brightest/contrasty Screen out of the three?

For some reason the wallpaper is lighter on Z1. When you look at the video playback on all three they are almost identical. I have been looked closely at all three and the brightness is almost the same. The viewing angles on the Z2 are far superior though.

almost all camera gadgets are available in market, i have latest timeshift, AR effect(this with sounds), motiongraph and this cool blurred background mode, when you shoot two images and play with background, its a bit buggy but work

I really don't like the lack of soft-touch edge on the Z1/2 like on the Z. I understand the metal frame makes it more durable and more premium, but after holding the Z, the Z1 and up feel incredibly slippery in the hand as a result.

I generally like the design of the Z better than that of its sucessors.
The soft-touch was great, aluminum is generally a bad idea when there are antennas nearby and it really destroys the look iam loving the Z for right now.
The plain black monolitic all-around, with the frame that is like pebble-blueish when looked at in the sunlight.
Just great imo.
For me the Z1/Z2 are a step back regarding the sleek elegant design that was inherent to the Z, except for a few changes.
The flap-less headphone jack is really the only thing that i really found to be annoying about the Z, and the 3200mah is also a great step forward.
Other than that there isnt really much beside hardware-specs that was improved in my opinion.
Still missing such a feature like IR, maybe with the Z3?
Display was always kinda okayish when looking straight at it, and due to the bad viewing angles i dont need any kind of "privacy-filter" foil or similiar
Things that should get improved is the Picture-Quality in dark conditions and in macro-mode i hate that blur-filter that seems to destroy any little detail i was used to see on a lot older devices.
There have been Sony-Ericcson's Cybershot phones that are now pretty much "historical" that took more natural or even in general better looking images.
Its also sad for me to know that my five year old phone takes better macro-shots
Anyways, we'll see.
:highfive:

my xz is the best

It is like in the automobile sector. The first facelift is the best balance between price and features. All the bugs from the protoype version are solved. The features are not to overwhelming and the price is ok.

Z - Feels like a prototype phone. Has many things done good but also has many thing that just feel low quality...
Z1 - Feels like hell-a-lot of an improvement - better screen, and build quality. Still not perfect with those bezels and not as great viewing angles.
Z2 - *Z design brang to perfection* Great screen with good bezels and viewing angles.

I went to store with intent to buy Z2, the display model was abhorrent, the screen was misaligned, there were huge gaps around the screen and middle frame and if that wasnt bad enough the screen was flickering away. As a Z1 owner I couldnt help notice also that the entire look and feel was less premium than Z1. Im sticking with Z1 very disappointed as I was looking forward to 4K vid and display improvements.
