HD2 Screen Replacements will be SLCD!

Hi!!!
just though id share with you...
I just called HTC europe to enquire about getting my cracked screen repaired-
£150 is their "general cost" it could be more or less, depending on severity, they told me.
and that it could take a minimum of 2 weeks, with pickup and delivery included as long as it's in warranty...
Then i asked about the screen type it would be replaced with, in light of the recent news that there is an AMOLED shortage...
and they told me that SLCD will be the standard replacement screen from now on!!!!
yay!!!!

I wonder if there will be a flood of cracked screens now ..........
Would like to see a direct comparison here before I crack mine ..........

LOL
i hope not, otherwise they'll run out of SLCD too.... and then what.....
iphone-like retina displays.... OOOoooo

here it is: comparisons

But they wouldn't replace our screen with AMOLED anyways... the shortage has no effect on our screens.

I doubt 4.3" slcds are being made

If this is true , that would be amazing SLCD on HD2 very very nice

Yay, if what you're saying is true, maybe no more multi touch issues.

First, the HD2 never had an AMOLED screen, so, shortage in amoled screens?Strange!

in any case, too bad i can't benefit from this given that my property insurance would replace my phone right away and not bother with the screen =)

expensive
A little too expensive for me to want to crack my screen

[Q]San francisco has AMOLED screen?

I've read on several sites about this phone and i'm planning to buy one but the problem is i'm confused whether this device is pumped up with a LCD, TFT capacitive or AMOLED screen? now some websites state that it has AMOLED tft capacitive screen. I would like to have some clarification about this. and some feedback would be appreciative about this device...

The first stock had AMOLED screens, now they are produced with TFT's you may be able to find an AMOLED one via ebay etc.
Many people will say there isn't much difference anyway.

Well actually, there's a huge difference..see for yourself !
Zte Blade tft vs AMOLED

Yes it's brighter etc but also the con being screen burn!
Anyway you will have to buy second hand or old stock for AMOLED
Glad baught mine when first came out...

It's actually quite easy to find out if your Blade has the AMOLED or TFT screen.
Go to settings> About phone> Build number
If it ends in 05, it's an AMOLED. If it ends in 08, you've got yourself a LCD. (This is only true for grey devices.)

To simplify my question , some brands like (htc ) release same device with different screens (htc sensation is released with both sharp and acer screens ) , now my question is how i can confirm that the screen on my tab is samsung made PLS screen , not a cheap version for middle east region with normal screen.
Thanks and regards,

this is the article that made me think that way http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-gal...tage-10158766/
it says that some galaxy tab 10.1 will have different screens due to shortage and thicker bodey , any one can help me recognize what screen i have on my tab

Read the comments on that article...it seems as though the problem existed with the 8.9, NOT the 10.1.

The article's from June and the source is a Mac website who I'm guessing isn't really in the loop about what's happening at Samsung. For whatever reason, what they predicted never happened. Samsung manufactures all their own display panels unlike other OEM's. If there was a spec change, it would propbably be done regionally with whatever's changed clearly noted to the public. There's nothing to indicate that all the 10.1 display's aren't the same.

Super PLS is just a type of IPS screen. You should be able to tell by looking at it that it's an IPS screen, as lesser alternatives really screw up the colors/contrast as you look at sharper angles. If any of these had something other than an IPS screen, I'm sure there would be plenty of stories/posts about it.
So the real question is: do you have a "generic" IPS screen, or a Super PLS. Considering that Super PLS is less expensive to produce than traditional IPS, are you concerned that you may have a cheap PLS screen, or are you concerned that they spent extra money to send you a generic IPS screen?

new digitizer/screen for samsung galaxy s5 lte-a g901f

Hi ,
will a screen/digi from a samsung galaxy s5 work on a s5 lte-a g901f? I have purchased about 3 screens for the s5 and all it keeps doing is showing the samsung logo, battery vibrates twice then reboots in this loop.
Anyone know the answer on what screen i would need?

Are those screens legit? Are those AMOLED displays? If not, then there's your problem.

i just ordered a screen off ebay -s5 screen replacement.

Dude, are they even compatible with the G901F? Does it say in the title or description? Or better said, is it a real AMOLED display?

so i have found out now, no they are not compatable. tried looking for a 901f screen with no luck or the ones i have found are way more than the phones worth.
