i would also like to know this as well. i believe touch HD has an ambient light sensor, but it is a different manufacture than that used in iphone. also, the HD's sensor is below two layers of plastic (the screen and the touch/pressure layer), whereas iphone's sensor is just below the glass. so those of you who already have the phone, please report back thanks

The HD's sensor is not underneath the screen/pressure layer. It is in the opening for the speaker. The screen is not transflective therefore the backlight is required to view the display.

okay. sooooooooo.... back to the OP's question : does the screen brightness changes when the ambient light changes? and it is good to view in direct sunlight? i couldn't extract the ansswer from your reply.

yes the screen brightness changes with ambient light. Display is comparable to the touch pro when viewing in daylight, but as the iphone is transflective, it will obviously not be as good.

Hi, I've had the Touch HD for 5 days now. The display sensitivity does change according to the ambient light, which I find very useful when going in and out of buildings. The display can be read fairly easy even on direct sunlight. I was reading an ebook without any problems midday with sun over my head. As far as Omnia, I can't judge since I haven't used one. But I can compare it to my old Tytn II which was unusable in direct sunlight. The display on Touch HD is really great.

OK...this is good.

The Touch HD display is not better than the Touch Diamond display in direct sunlight. Unfortunately it doesn't come close to the superb direct sunlight performance of the iPhone.
I also own the Sedna and although this device is perfectly usable in direct sunlight, even with the display brightness set to 0, the colors are dull and also much worse than on the iPhone under the same lighting conditions.
I can't hide the feeling that HTC just wants to earn easy money, look at the video performance of the Qualcomm chipset, it should have improved from the TyTN II outrage but nothing has happened yet.
HTC wants to build an iPhone killer? I'm pretty sure they can do it. Unfortunately they would need to charge much more for such a unit or at least lower their profit margin. Apparently they don't need to do that...yet.

actually it is not very good ... i cant see well...
any tweaks to make it peform better under sun??

yeah, i can hardly see anything on mine in sunlight, it would be ok to make a call, but to text or read a long text etc is verydifficult, didnt even trey watching a video, are there tweaks or anything for the screen?

disable auto backlight adjustment and crank up the backlight! battery peformance will suffer but its much easier to read. I think there are screen protectors out there than makes the screen more ligible in direct sunlight. try searching for it. dont take my word for it though

You can install Lumos and set it such that in sun conditions, it will respond with an increased backlight performance. At least Lumos will allow your phone to auto-adapt to the light conditions.
As for my personal experience, I have an ultraclear-type screen protector and the HD is pretty much unusable in direct sun light. I guess that with a less classy screen protector, the display would be readable outside but I haven't checked this out yet.

I tried disabling disabling auto adjust and cranking up brightness for sun.
It ATE my battery, left low level screen light on and this just is not a good thing.
I am outside a lot and looking for a solution, cannot believe the screen is so clear and good until you hit the sunlight. This is as I set on laptop and type in sun.

Display readable in sunlight?

Hi,
I want to use the P6500 for outdoor navigation. Does someone know how good the display with direct sunlight is? Has to be the backlight turned to max level or can it be turned off?
Kind regards
hqqh

It's not terrific in sunlight, but it's not terrible. Yeah, the display has to be turned up pretty bright for readability. And if you're looking for clear, bright displays, you're better off with other HTC phones.

[Q] Poor visibility outdoors

Is it just me or when out doors and even on full brightness you can barely see anything on the desire Z's screen?

It is a kinda hard to see, yes

That's the problem with backlit LCD displays. What would be really cool is a phone with color e-ink. Not everybody needs the gaming/video performance of LCD, and a front-lit color e-ink would give you the all-light visibility without the huge battery consumption or visibility problems of LCD.

Maybe it will surprise some of you less than it surprised me - but wearing sunglasses actually helps readability of Z's screen under direct sunlight.

Outdoor visibility - screen brightness

Can anyone please comment on outdoor visibility with the M's screen? How about overall brightness. On my S3, one of the huge knocks I have on it is the outdoor visibility. It's nearly just washed out and blank in direct sunlight glare. I was at the Bucs football game on Sunday and damn could I not read much, even on full brightness it was bad and sucked my battery up. My fiancee's 4S screen however was at mid brightness and it was perfectly visible. Another Galaxy user commented on how she could actually see the screen when doing a group self-portrait =)
Anyway, I've read several S3 screen comparisons and know it's not the best..pentile and all and seeing the M has an AMOLED pentile display, I'm curious about outdoor visibility and overall brightness. Thanks!!

Not nearly as good as the Droid or D3. Its readable in direct sunlight but I have to really look closely. For example on a contact it is very hard to see the different number categories like Home, Mobile, etc. They should have used a bigger font.

Outdoor visibility (max brightness)

Rate this thread to express how well you can see the Honor 6X's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

With maximum visibility, with sunglasses i can read display on white pages with no problems.

Yeah me too but maximum brightness is consume much battery, anyway visibility on sun ok

For sure, my brightness never goes more than 3/4. Only if i have to read really important things, but usually it is at 30-35%

IPS LCD displays are very good outdoor performers

Do you guys take money or gift from Huawei? In all this real life threads there are the same guys talking about how great is this phone. That is not so great.

Didn't knew that today was crossposting day

Oh sorry I just see same people of other threads so I think that is only one.

Now you're one of those people in every thread, bravo!

The displays sunlight legibility is great. The phone does not heat up during extensive use under direct sunlight.

Looking good. No need to have max brightness to make it readable.

not so good. if you are under direct sunlight then sometime contents are not visible but that too depends on the theme you are using sometime. some gives you very bright screen even under sunlight but some doesnt. (personal observation, may vary for others).
definitely not the best when it comes to the direct sunlight condition.

Its good

Average, sometimes have problems reading text in sunlight but mostly its average

Never a problem in sunlight.

Outdoor visibility is great. Though at times maximum brightness is really needed.

everything is readable in direct sunlight.

All visible. Max brightness is good.

Outdoor visibility is really good. No problem seeing my screen on a bright day.
