Just thought I'd throw this out there...(Epson / Nova)

Just a PM response, but I figured I'd just post it to the public...ive been thinking about this for a while now...
colors on NOVATEK are horribly wrong... I think they might be the AMOLED screens that HTC had originally announced the phone with... Then they noticed the color issue with the new AMOLED technologies and reverted to the EPSONs.

Maybe it's just me, but I have a NOVA and my brother has an Epson and the difference is negligible if any compared side by side. I guess we are just color blind and don't know it.

Neither Novatek or Epson make AMOLED panels (only Samsung and LG) and if it was an AMOLED screen it would be noticeably better

lol then you have eye problems... i held my NOVA0002 next to my EPS0003 and i tell you, nova is this color --><<--- where its supposed to be black... put the default sense black background on... youll see
and it was about my exchaning my phone due to the screen grounding issue...
also thanks for the Samsung LG comment... I dont think its impossible that what I said could be true

Tilde, you're cool. End of story.
This thread is pointless. Close please!

The new phones have nova panels last I checked so they didn't switch anything to epson. If anything they ran both as tests and picked nova for whatever reason.

Mine is Novatek and black levels are amazing. Color quality is good as well. I have seen Evos with the purple tint though. I just don't think it matters what screen type it is.

very interesting... i thought all novateks would have the hue discoloration... perhaps its something that will soon be hacked out... either way, im happy with my epson

I have a related question.
I actually have a 0003, with the Nova screen. Is there a difference between the 0002 and 0003 models with the Nova screen?

Tilde do you have a 002 nova?
My 003 nova looks quite good
Swyped from my Evo 4G

I like the vibrancy of the Novateks over the Epsons anytime. Whether there is a pinkish hue or not is only distinguishable when setting it side-by-side with another device as your eyes are constantly adjusting the white balance to the brightness color you see. Therefore, the hue goes unnoticed most of the time anyways.
BTW, both screens are definitely not AMOLED. I wish Novas were 'cause then I'd be using the red tone tweak and would be saving 42% of battery life as it's been tested with the Nexus Ones.

I have a google io 0002 novatec and have compared it to a 0003 novatec and mine is noticeably brighter and more vibrant than the other one at full brightness. i do detect a cooler color temperature but it's only noticeable in contrast with a screen with a warmer temp. who is to say either one is incorrect? they both appear color accurate individually

My cousin darrell told my other cousin darrell that my first cousin darrell that his face kinda red. Figured it was from being in the sun a little longer then he aught to have been in it. But to be honest wit cha i reckon i wouldn't have noticed if darrell hadn't said nuffin. Its a little red but ain't too red i reckon.
Its like that little ding in your car door. It's small until someone points it out to you. Then all of a sudden WOW it got bigger magically.
The Nova panels are fine. Flash some ROMs or read a book.

i was going to say the same thing.. now the samsung moment, the colors on that screen are all jacked up.. but thats for another section in the forums!

love my 0002 NOVA. the screen is stunning and no matter how much I try to find flaws in it , I can't

I have a Nova and an Epson on hand right now and i prefer the Nova to be honest. The colors seem richer and not washed out.

just got my replacement how do i tell if the screen is good ?

i cant compare because i only have 1 battery : (. but this one is made in china and already got 2.2.1 on it. and the screen look less bright. does that mean i have the superior screen?

Good screen basically has 160 degree view angle. If you tilt your screen and notice any loss of colors, whites getting blown, or see blacks getting reflective you have a bad screen.

or if you are rooted, check if you have the LCD-SO-C2 display instead of the LCD-SH-C2

how do i do that?

Another couple ways are:
1. Put the WiFi calling shortcut on the desktop. Tilt the phone around and see if the you still discern the white lines in the blue logo. If they blend together (and the blue starts turning green) that's probably a bad display.
2. Open the market and pull up downloads. As you tilt the screen, look at the company names beneath the application names, as well as the lines that separate the applications. If the names disappear and the lines disappear (or go "negative"), then it's a bad display.
Of course, "bad" is relative, and if you think it's great then keep it and enjoy.

how do i check this? is there a app for this? seems like the easiest way

how do u check this?

hold down volume down and power, then select system info

So i called tmobile for replacement bec of bad screen and they are sending me another phone. The most important part i noticed was that when the rep said "i wonder why this phone is having screen issues" so tmobil know about it. Just wanted to put this out there for other people know. I hope my new phone is good haha

LCD-SH-C2 thats the one i have is that the bad one?
it looks good to me

Please post questions in the Q&A section.

I got my phone with a contract from radio shack, so is it possible to still get a replacement sent to me? Let me know guys. I have the receipt and box and all original contents.

What is the difference between LCD-SO-C2 and LCD-SH-C2?

[Q] Whites Not As Vibrant?

I received my replacement G2 today and while holding it side-by-side with my original G2, I noticed the whites on the new one aren't quite as vibrant. I then met up with a friend who also has a G2 and put all three phones side-by-side. Her phone has the same less vibrant whites as mine did. Neither new device nor my new one had the bright, vibrant whites of my original G2. Is something wrong with the two displays that aren't quite as vibrant, or perhaps my original G2 had something up with its display? It would be helpful if someone could shed some light onto the issue! You can see my old device and new device in the photo below. Unfortunately the photograph doesn't convey the difference as strongly as seeing the devices in person. Yes, both phones have identical display/brightness settings.

I'm curious why the left one looks smaller and has no lg logo?

Wow, I didn't even notice the logo on the left one wasn't visible in the photo! It's there, I swear, lol.
The right one might look bigger because it's in a case.

I also had the same issue. I prefer the whiter white display but the new replacement I got also was not as white. I think I'll be returning both. Not sure if I should try another replacement or just give up.

At this point I'm debating keeping the one with the whiter whites... This is really frustrating.

What's wrong with the original? I've gotten replacements that I sent back.
-sent from my LG G2 using XDA Premium 4

The original I had squeaks with little pressure on the sides and back. Very much annoying. Does that happen to you guys too?

No squeaks at all with mine. The original was starting to show color bleed/slight yellow screen discoloration on the left edge. It is very, very minor. I've decided to keep my original phone and send the replacement back.

I have exactly same problem my fathers g2 to is much more brighter then mine. And whites are more clear. Is there anyway to fix it?

Yellow tint on screen

I have the Verizon LG g3 and when I compared it to my LG g2, on white backgrounds the g3 screen is clearly more yellow or warm compared to the g2. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Do you think it's worth to try to exchange it for a New one?
Sent from my LG G3

The G2 was actually too blue, as are most phones. True white is slightly creamy to most eyes. Most people are used to white being Titanium Dioxide white they use to colour plastics, cosmetics and ceramics, but that is actually blue.
However the G3 is a bit too yellow, it may fade over time, sometimes it does. I rooted mine and adjusted the screen temp a bit.

The screen on mine is too yellowish for my taste, will get an exchange device tomorrow, if this one will be as yellowish, I will return it immediately and go for another device.
I don't care if the G2's screen is too bluish or whatever, I really liked it's display, but the G3 screen is to dimm and "warm"

Could you post which app/setting you did this with?

I loved the "cool" display of the G2. That G2 is still my favorite phone. Even having the G3, I miss it. Still my favorite display also (color and temp wise).

Just got the replacement, sadly it's display is even more yellowish, so it will go back too the next days, will get a used G2 instead and wait what this year will bring on.
Really sad because I really like the G3, but can't stand the display...

I used Trickster MOD and set the colours to 238,238,255. Its still a little a warmer than my G2, but its no longer beige! Slightly yellow is right for whites, but my G3 was almost brown!
Now I just need to fix the back light, its too dark on auto.

Really sad that people are too used to wrongfully calibrated screens. I even rant to LG with straightly opposite demand a while back http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2299888 and seems like they listened and made a right decision to calibrate G3 perfectly. Their OG Pro had too blueish display around 8000K with almost green yellows, my eyes were bleeding

Not too sad I guess, as white on the G3 looks like there is a yellow screen protector on the screen...
Next thing is that the yellow screen in combination with its low contrast just looks awful.
But everyone has a different taste, so it will look nice for a lot of people, but not for me...

And by the way, why is it so many twin threads around here? Wasn't it better to discuss pro and cons of G3 display in the already existed and full of comments thread as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2782251 ? I think it would be more proper and lead to more constructive way of discussion

Yup. See the pink line running along the right side of the display? Thst with the washed out colors mean the lcd is junk, and needs to be replaced.
Thats probably why you got such a good deal on it.
