Awesome XD

2 things you have to do before moaning about the Xperia Z screen...

1: Make sure that you have turned off 'Adapt to lighting conditions'.
This is located Settings > Display > Brightness and then it is the check box.
2: Realise that the grey notification bar and grey soft button bar are grey and not black (unless you have the Jap version).
Once those 2 have been nailed down into your brain, then any screen issues are up for discussion.

I leave 'Adapt to lighting conditions' turned on & I think the screen looks great.

"Adapt to lighting conditions" is simply an auto-brightness setting.
Don't think it has anything to do with the issues the screen is having.
Believe me.. it's very hard for me to say..
But the truth is that the display is cloudy the moment you view it at even at a slight angle.
I geared up for this.. testing the demo phones in shops and even now, I think I can make do with it. But imagine. I have the phone laying flat infront on my desk. I'm looking at the screen at an angle and I can hardly make out the camera icon on top of my light-colored wallpaper.
Comparing with the galaxies wouldn't be correct.. but look at the HTCs. They sure look better.
I'm not gonna say that this totally sucks and I will be selling my unit off.. but one thing I sure can say that Sony put a cheap display on it (either cheap for cost-effectiveness, or to try and be the slimmest in the market with a lousier display)
I think the contrast is lower than natural. However I hope there will be some sort of tool released, sort of like get a permament Bravia Engine thing going on throughout the UI.. and that would help alot.

Yes, but most people are leaving it enabled and it suppresses how high the brightness can go. Go full brightness with it on, and then turn it off.

I think they are releasing a colour calibration tool in an update (colours do need a slight tweak). But slapping on the Bravia Engine permanently would make the contrast completely over the top compared to reality.

Phone arrived this morning and now it's back in its box ready to go back.
Yuck, what was Sony thinking with that screen. Looks like the screen from the Htc Titan only difference is the resolution.

He been spamming the forums with the same bs, he aint even got one just trolling

Lol auto brightness off would compensate the washed off color look. Niiiiceeee. amaze me how some of you guys still think the screen looks beautiful No it's nooootttt lol. Go to a store and put your z next to a DNA or a butterfly or a LG optimus g pro then come back and cry lol. Screen looks decent. But not stunning like htc or the opt g pro

Cool story bro.

There's only 1 thing to do:
If you don't like the screen's colour, saturation settings etc. - simply do not buy the phone, do us all a favour and stop b...ng about it in every thread.

Defects are defects when I admit them, yet you fail to understand my post.
I meant that Xperia Z section or any other section will soon be full of useless, pointless and junk threads or posts.
And this is because of fanboys.
This will reflect bad at xda.
If we have a series problem with this phone, we will use official ways to report it. Like posting in Sony official forum or contact them.

has anyone skinned their g2 yet?

love the stealthy all black look of the nexus, i think if you had the right color skin to cover the lg logo it would look pretty nice. was wondering if any of you guys had skinned yours yet. i think the only one ive seen available is the exoskins, but they dont have black

as I love the look of carbon fiber, but it won't arrive til next week. IF it looks half as good as the pic then I'll be stoked.

Did it about three hours ago. Went pretty smooth for me. The kit comes with skins for the volume rockers as well but I thought it would look better without. So far, without much time to test, I like the feel. Definitely like the look. My only worry and it's a big one, is how it will fare going in and out of my pockets.
Edit: posted 5 total pics and only one uploaded. I'll keep trying the rest.

Well, judging by your pictures, I don't see any difference so I guess I'll find out.
Edit: nvrmnd. I see I did mine differently. I went off someone else's pics and assumed there were gonna be gaps and arranged it so the chrome-ish band would show. Didn't think of covering it up.. Poo. Guess I'll buy another one.

Anti-fingerprint coating?

Has anyone used anything to reduce fingerprint smudges on this screen? I don't want to use a screen protector as I don't like the way they feel.. The One had a pretty good anti fingerprint screen, so I'm sure there is a good one out there and I'm looking for some recommendations.
