To me that looks like the Xperia ION has it's brightness and color saturation cranked all the way up. While some people think this looks better, it hasn't have to be better though. In my opinion, the Xperia Z lacks a bit of color calibration, but IMHO this could be resolved with a simple calibration app.
I really love Sony, but Sony can only improve if I show them my love.
My Xperia Z looks like the one on the right so I'm stumped lol
I've got UK version though don't know if it's any different.

lol me too I got shocked when my Xperia Ion have deeper blacks than the Xperia Z. Thought it was a faulty unit, compared with another shop and self-concluded, Xperia Z's screen isn't as good as Xperia Ion.

It does look like a gamma calibration issue.
does android let you set the gamma settings via command line like on Linux?
eg. xgamma -gamma 1.000
Using linux as an example, it looks like the Z is set to 1.200 gamma, where .900 would suit most people's needs better.
Check it.
lowered gamma to .75

A matter of preference.. I reckon the Z has more natural colours. The Ion has everything too high for my taste.. Ever seen Samsung TV's on factory settings? Same thing. Colours boosted beyond natural. But again, some prefer it that way.. I like the Z's colour better om these pics, though the ion pops more out so to speak.

No, it's just you're used to over-saturated colours so when you see something thats natural it just doesn't look good enough. :good:

This is not some pointless thread shooting Sony. Admittance is the first step to recovery. If there's a gamma tuning problem, Sony ought to know and fix the problem. And if it's a quality problem, Sony must know it can't repeat the mistake again. Most of us here love Sony. We want Sony have its fullest potential to destroy Samsung and Apple. If everybody keeps sweeping this issue under the carpet, this screen issue is going to come back in future Sony phones.
That's just my thoughts. Critics can destroy me now.

Agreed, apart from the destruction bit
All my complaints over the Z are not just *****ing about the screen and the camera. I believe they are two issues which can be sorted out by software and Sony should admit it and fix it. The screen will always have poor viewing angles, but please sort out the gamma/colours.
My phone is uk and my screen looks nothing like that. Mine is great

I've just loaded both wallpapers on to the lockscreen on my UK sim-free Z and it really does look nothing like yours.The colours are more vivid on my device although not as saturated as on your Ion, which has it's contrast too high IMO - the colours are more realistic on my Z (eg. the colour of the sky looks like sky whereas it's too much on your Ion).
I have to turn my Z to an extreme angle to make it look like yours.
It is good to see others are recognizing this screen is barely adequate.
I was starting to get tired of being called a troll for simply making accurate and factual statements.
i recieved my xperia z yesterday and to be honest was very fearful with reading all these reviews but i really have no issue with my phone the screen is nothing short of great friend of mine who uses iphone 5 even made comment on the clarity of the screen.
I understand why people are making comments on viewing angles but to be honest i cant understand how anyone with half a brain would use their phone on an angle lol i mean come on guys whats going on. watching movies on screen so small i really dont know why anyone would do that i cant even watch a movie on those old 68cm screen tvs anything under 42 inches and your just wasting your viewing pleasure, the screen is amazing so all of you who are holding back your missing out

I got to have some hands on time with a ZL and Z today. The ZL had a noticeably brighter screen. ZL felt so nice in ny hand. I am really torn between the two devices. They both are amazing.
Also saw that the IR remote is just below the power button so you have to hold the phone in landscape when using the IR remote.
The ZL was just about the same size as my TL.

Brighter on 100% or what? Generally better colors?
Just being brighter isn't really an advantage is it? I use my iPod at 20-30% brightness setting.
Brighter at 100% and lowest setting. The blacks look a bit better on the Z though.

The blacks look better on the Z, definitely comforting, thanks
Most important question I have is: can you easily drop down the notification center with your thumb while keeping your pinky finger on the bottom of the ZL? That for me is the test for one handed operation

So I assume the Z you had is not the 6606 model?
Besides, how is it possible for screens to be any different? Sony said they are exactly the same. Maybe the Z you had was a per-production or earlier sample?
The ZL I had was not final software so things could change with it. Looking at photos on each device closely the Z is much darker than the ZL (talking screen brightness here). I didn't try changing the ZL to match the same level as the Z so I couldn't really compare the colors on each when looking at photos. The Z was noticeably darker on photos.
I didn't mess with the white alliance colors either on the ZL just left them as they were which showed 0 on each slider.
When comparing system menus and icons colors I couldn't really tell much of a difference.

Still have the Z (C6602) ZL only got to mess with for about 45 minutes or so. I really liked the ZL feel. Was about the same size as the TL when I compared them. The back of the ZL (black version) has a nice textured soft rubbery feel to it that looked great. The burst camera on these two devices is super quick and very good quality. I also really liked how the sides/edges of the ZL are also lass like the Z.

Hello! Just wanna ask how did you get a hold of a ZL demo unit? Since I haven't heard any news of it for weeks now. I would be happy if sony has already started marketing campaign for ZL as I don't want to wait till April to get it.

Okay here are some pics (not a photographer so bear with me) of my TL, ion and the Z so you can see the size comparison. For having as big of a screen as the Z and ZL do they are not bulky phones at all. Love their size. For the pics with the screens on the brightness was set to 100% and disabled any adjustment to lighting condition options.

The contrast on the TL looks much better to me. The blacks are kinda gray on the new ones. Or do they get better without the brightness at full?
must be some funky stuffs that sony is doing to balance out their bravia engine or something, have to wait and see if they full screen calibration control actually get released.

All the Xperia devices I have seen all seem more gray than the ion (pictured in the middle) The ion has had the best screen I have seen. Wish I had the ZL here so I could include that. Soon it will be mine
Seriously i would give that 8.5-10 considering my previous phone was Htc One.

New Z1 user here, moving from a Galaxy S3!
Honestly viewing angles hardly bother me. The screen is beautiful and on of the most natural and sharp screens out there viewed straight on, which is how I view my screen 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time I'm on my bed an it's at an angle or on the table. Yes I can't look at any pictures that well but text is still fine, which is what I need, so for me viewing angles isn't a dealbreaker.
Compared to the S3 the viewing angles are pretty poor but oh well, I'll take the LCD's awesome outdoor brightness over the AMOLED's viewing angle any day.
I would say that is a very good display quality, indeed! It seems that your screen doesn't suffer from the so called "yellow hue", does it? Could you please make some additional photos which capture the screen straight on? So far I have stumbled upon 2 devices with yellowish displays, so I returned them both. However, I would like to see "the benchmark", e.g. what screen I should be looking for. Thanks in advance!
I watch netflix at that angle everytime... /s

You people have to stop it. It's about QUALITY. A good quality display has good viewing angles. Bad viewing angles ruins the impression that the device is a flagship. I don't spend $1000 on a device that looks like $50. People that accept these things are people that have already bought the product, and are too ashamed to admit that they spent a lot of money on a device with a mid-range display, so they think "you know, it ain't all that bad". Snap out of it. Do you know what people like that are called? Fanboys.

Agreed, yet another thread created to discuss the same crap about the display bla bla bla. Don't like it sell it and move on and stop whining about it.
And most of all post this info into a thread that already is discussing this topic rather than create your own.
I cant see anything wrong with the thread.. . It shows that the phone got already a good display. So if u find the thread a totall crap so dont comment or report to mod. Dont act smart and post this kind of comments. And seriously talking honest or share opinions isnt a silly tging to call fanboys. You dont know others so dont judge.

I have the First Version of the file from February which also doesn't contain the word IPS anywhere, but still it is confirmed that Z2 will be using an IPS TFT panel for sure. Please check the display comparison videos on YouTube with the new HTC ONE (M8) which uses SLCD3 display and Z2 fairs much better in color reproduction and deep blacks almost to the level of AMOLED

Well basically , 99% of all the Specification websites I use, all the reviews, previews, hands on's and unboxing's have all stated it and the other 1% just did not metion it at all.
NOT 1 single website I use have stated that the Xperia's Z2 screen is NOT an IPS display....go figure..
One example is this video which might make you happy....I hope,
it's Erica Griffin one of the most well informed, qualified and critical reviewers on the planet stating that the Z2 has an IPS display at 1:19 , check it out:-

I have had various htc's and samsung's and always liked the xda forums very much, lots of smart helpfull people working together to develop and make the device better. Now, after a year with my xperia z i still can't get my head around the fact that the sony forums are full of morons and cry babies...

Yea very true, I also like her cause she is very non-biased reviewer so you can actually depend on what she tells.
and we also saw on phonearena that the display is very good in colours and all, so I don't think that it's just the normal TFT panel they previously used. Let's see after this month once people get it in their hands and more reviews will be out in the web.
Just because the Whitepapers don't mention IPS doesn't mean the screen isn't IPS.
Also, Triluminous Technology has nothing to do with whether a screen is IPS or not.

My Brother have xperia z2, and I bought a Z3. We did a comparison of the screen, and unexpectedly, we observed z2 has better viewing angles than the Z3. OH NOOOOOO!!!!!!
WHY SONY??????!!!!!
100% brightness on both devices
I've tried to cut down on brightness on Z3. Z3 has brighter screen than Z2. I reduced to 70%, but it meant nothing
When we look at angles from the top, bottom, left and right viewing angles are excellent on both devices. The only problem is when the screen looks around the corner

I think being IPS it should be wider angle view.

My Brother have xperia z2, and I bought a Z3. We did a comparison of the screen, and unexpectedly, we observed z2 has better viewing angles than the Z3. OH NOOOOOO!!!!!!
WHY SONY??????!!!!!

What a shame that you can't see the device in a prone position!
Yeah I don't get all the noise about viewing angles when the only person watching stuff on the phone is the one directly in front of it.
I love poor viewing angles, so people besides me on bus can't read mi chat.
See if you can see the screen blindfolded, if not, return de device.

In the Z3 review "Viewing Angles" chart you can add the Z2, which has an advantage over the Z3 in some areas, but its not that bad though. Overall I think its almost as good as my HTC Butterfly's display.
Why would you ever look at your phone at an off angle? I get this is an issue with a TV but a phone? People are really digging for problems at this point.

I have to disagree with you, unless it was meant to be sarcastic (although there are none of the standard signs of written sarcasm).

Fair enough. I believe the OP was just comparing between the viewing angle of the Z2 and Z3 at an ideal setting, and making a point that Z3 should not be any worse. When Sony makes the Z3, one would expect the same or better. Not worse. For me, the viewing angle is just fine on the Z3. But what bothers for some may be the fact that is proven to be worse than Z2, given it is an IPS panel afterall.
I was distraught when I read about this.
So, I got my friend who owns a Z2 and did a comparison. Yeah both of us agreed the Z3 screen colours reproduction are much better than Z2.
The trade off is some angles washes out more on Z3 but then heck, who uses their phone in those funny position LOL.
My God... No... This simply cannot be... I'm going to go throw my phone off a balcony now, as clearly, it is useless (just like this thread)
The Z3 has improved in more areas it than lost in the screen aspect compared to the Z2, so overall it is better. This happens with every company including Apple where contrast maybe slightly lower on a newer device etc. As long as it doesn't really impact you it does not matter, as there is a net gain with other improvements.

Confirm it for my Z3 Compact as well. Horrible! Sony, I can barely see the screen while holding it at an 45° angle only. And upside down, I can't see anything at all, just black! Was so upset with the phone that I dumped it in the pool. Guess what, even worse, found out there's a serious problem with the loudspeaker(s), too. When it gets into water (say down below 1m), yes, I can still see the screen coming up while receiving a call, but it's almost inaudible! Do you want me to stare at the screen all the time? Really, I'm so disappointed...
I partially agree and partially disagree. The viewing angles on the Z3 is fine, you are right, people are just digging for dirt.
I come from the Z1 so the Z3 is an amazing improvement.
Where I disagree with you is that viewing angles do matter.
It was an impossible task to get three friends to bunch up and watch a video clip on the Z1, the two in the wings saw almost nothing and they were only slightly off axis.
So it does matter when it comes to sharing media with groups.

The LG G2 and HTC Butterfly had awesome screens in all aspects and the Z3 tops both, so not much to worry about.
How can that be possible? Isn't the screen same? I mean both are IPS panels and same resolution and pixel density.

There are more factors that determine screen quality than just what type of panel it is and what the resolution and pixel density is.
In other words: you can have two IPS screens, of the same size, resolution and pixel density, even made by the same manufacturer, but for different devices and they will have a different colour gamut, different viewing angles and diffident contrast so look very different.

Ah that's what. But since the Z3 came after the Z2, shouldn't the Z3 have a similar or better screen than the Z2 rather than having a worse one?
Hi guys...
@niaboc79 point me to this web page
Apparently, this should be next Sony's big thing...
If you ask me, I don't like new look but we'll see final design once Sony announce this new beast.
And yeah...even many claimed it'll have S810, it'll probably be S805 with 4GB of ram.

Don't get it...?
What do you wanna say?
I wouldent see why not the device would be so powerful, they have had some tough market recently and although sony isnt one to faulter in quality (exept Z2 hiccip)
Im hoping to come across a Z4 but my college budget says hell never.
That is the image of a Z3...
http://www.androidpit.com/sony-xperia-z4-release-date-news-specs-features
here is the features of the upcoming z4. I gonna buy this!!!
Nice but i hope sony will avoid onscreen buttons or at leastgive us an option just like oneplus one..
That pic just looks like a Z2 it seems though
Or perhaps something edited and also made to look poor quality
BTW - that digitiser isn't from Z4.
That's a fake.
I wonder about Z4, Sony need to have a 64bit cpu just for the name of it
Customers either go for lies or big titles, Sony trys not to lie but they also fail to provide at times
Z4 would need a 805 or above to arouse any eyes
Maybe not even that, perhaps lolipop, 64bit, QHD Display
Big words Avg customers dont know about
Yay marketing, Crude work
nope xperia design is loosing its point
The main reason wich made me buy a smartphone now was the genius design of the XZseries, but since the Z3 they go this ****ty casual rounded borders way wich just looks as every other Iphone.replicant...
When I look at my naked Z2, damn I get a tech.boner with nice crispy borders looks like a chocolate.bar! Yummyyummy
And hopefully the Z4 comes with an Ultra version thats the only thing I miss bout my Z2 make them bigger, I anyways charge daily whats the point of small screen for the sake of 30% battery over the night so u have to charge in the mifdle of the next day xD
I also had seen an Z4 design earlier wich went more onto my desired way of design but i think it was a phantom....Ill post a link when I find it later

The Z4 will be almost the same as Z2. There are pics of the Display and the stereo speakers that are the same as our Z2's ( : So Sony heard us about the sh..ty Z3 design at least. I love my Z2 design also..Its just..stylish and elegant :fingers-crossed:
Looks much better than z3 .

I like Sony, phone has good quality, design also nice
Xperia Z4 will be a 5.5" inch screen and UHD resolution and snapdragon 805 (confirmed informations) not much, but little informations is better than nothing
