I don't usually imagine things, but I hope I am imagining this. Could everyone take a very close look at their screen and see if it seems that the display is slightly tilted to the right? Almost like it is slighty rotated... like by one or two pixels. It would be most noticeable (if you are afflicted) by looking very closely at the upper right corner of the status bar.
Are there any video screen testers to download that would give me a better perspective?
My actual LCD is tilted by 1-2 pixels to the right under the glass. Was the first thing I noticed when I turrned it on and looked at it deadon. Not enough to make me return it, but it's BARELY noticeable. Had the same issue with a refurbed OG Evo from Sprint when mine broke.
Then again, I have perfect vision and I pay attention to the smallest and dumbest details.
is your 3d/2d switch loose front to back?
j/w b/c mine is and it bugs the crap outa me. also noticed the screen seemed to be recessed a tad more in the top right. but thats me nit picking really.
I thought I was going insane when I noticed this, its barely noticeable but I knew something felt off, especially if I looked right at the top by the status bar like the OP said. .

Yes, this is exactly how mine is. But I am not usually picky about this kind of stuff and it is bugging the crap out of me. I am debating on returning.

Can't be. Mine is fine and I'm very picky about build quality.
Mine is like this too.
Thankfully I didn't get one. I'm going to wait for newer hardware builds or a better offering from Sprint. I would take it back if its noticeable.
Maybe I don't know what to look for, but my screen looks perfectly fine.

Oh you're good...
my OG Evo rattled every time it vibrated. It stopped after it got pocket lint on whatever was rattling. My evo 4g had everything go wrong that could go wrong. (except screen separation) and my sprint stores would not exchange. I had the screen grounding issue, the screen splotching, the rattling, the usb charge port problem (this was intermittent and wouldn't do it at the store). Hope I have better luck with the e3d. Other people I know would go in and say they wanted a replacement and with no questions asked were given a new 4g. And im very polite and well spoken, never late paying bill, and so on. Im just not good with that kind of stuff.
Mine does too.

Wow! Never noticed that either.
why the rattle bro? I thought the EVO 3D was PERFECT seeing how everybody was dissing on the negative reviews.
Called Sprint this morning and they are sending me a new one today. Fantastic Customer Service by Sprint!
Dangit now that you made me notice this lol
Mines only the 2d/3d switch. its tight function when you switch it top to bottom(3d->2d), but it has a amount of play front to back that wiggles around and when phone vibrates is annoying.
I'd be suspect on any replacement right now as i'd assume they all are like this since I assume we all have hardware v2's.
please report back if your device is/isn't fixed when you get the new one though.
I got my brand new 3vo and the first thing I see is light bleed!
It is along the bottom of the screen. I'm scared to boot the other one I ordered.

Yep the 3D does have light bleed along the bottom of the screen and up the sides. Doesn't appear to be as bad as the Evo 4G but it is there.
And I don't thing the power button is any different either. It the same hard to find one on my Evo 4g.

yes, this is one of the things i wish htc fixed but i have it too.. im going to ask for a new one because i have a white spot near the home button from the light.. guess the black under the glass didnt cover that little pin size spot.
as for the light bleed... i always use a case on my phone, do i dont see it much. sucks that its there i guess but not a deal breaker

Mine is the same way, a little light bleeding from the capacitive buttons, but not a big deal at all.
I see it in a well lit room. I had to go in a dark room with my dslr to get the picture. maybe I'll get a case but I sure do like to streak.

To each there own. Personally I don't like companies doing shotty work on any part of my device. It's not bad but when I'm laying in bed on the EVO it was annoying and could make watching videos not good. Like I said I'm weird but I like my products made with care and without batch defects.
That being said it not as bad as the original but its a shame they couldn't fix such a stupid issue.

Of course it's not a big deal, but it's really something that just shouldn't happen. When cheaper phones by HTC can have no leaks, then it means it's all just a matter of quality control.
Both phones have light bleed at the bottom. It's there. It is very hard to photograph. I won't go into why it is so hard to photograph. But it shows up very well in a bright room.
No light bleed here whatsoever

It may be hard to see in the picture, but my phone has streaks or ripples inside the screen. I noticed the problem day one before putting on a screen protector. Does anyone else have this issue or do I have a defective device?
If you're referring to the pyramid looking shapes "underneath" your screen that you can only really see from a side angle...that is what allows you to see the 3d images...if you're not referring to those...then we need a better pic, because there's too much going on in your current one to tell what could be a flaw

It's tough to see exactly what you mean, but I think I see what you're talking about. The flash reflection makes it difficult to see. Anyways, if it's not the screen protector causing it, then I'd probably say it's defective. I have no flaws or blemishes in my screen at all. I'd take it to Sprint and get it checked out.
normal...stop looking at your phone in unusable angels under bright lights and you should be ok and never see it.
I do apologize for the lousy pic. I was reading about the 3D tech in the screen and understand that is there. Instead of my screen being solid black when it's off, it has random marks that kind of look like stretch marks. In a dark room its unnoticeable however at work(where it's bright as crap) I can actually see the lines while the screen is on. Couldn’t find any info on this anywhere.
I had the same thing on my first E3D and the guy at sprint thought I was crazy. You can only see them at the right angle so they are not noticeable 85% of the time. When I got my hands on a second E3D and held it just right the guy saw the same thing and did a return. No problems with the screen on my new one.
Mine is evident at any angle. I hate to complain, but I'll have this phone for over 2 years so I think I'll convince my sprint store to trade it out again. First one had large dust, dead pixels, majorly tilted screen. For me if I didn’t notice it all the time at work then it wouldn’t be an issue, but I do.
My friend had **** appear under his screen.... I want to say it looked like liquid, but it was very uniform and the water sticker things had not been tripped. it could only be seen under bright light such as the sun. Needless to say he returned it, the store employee said he had never seen it before.

Slightly, but nowhere near as prominent and uniform as with the 3d. You had 5 bad phones homie!
Thanks guys I appreciate the feedback. I researched all over the internet and could not find a reasoning behind these so called water marks or stretch marks under the screen. It must have something to do with the way HTC melds the screen together. Anyway I'm going to the sprint store today to see if they will work with me as it is obviously a defect. Seems to be an extremely rare issue so far or no one has noticed. Unfortunately for me where I work we have very bright lights so I noticed it right away. As with any product there seems to be a few bad batches of these phones out there. Hopefully number 3 will be near perfect.
Here's a slightly better pic
Perhaps you could clean the screen and then post a fresh pic. I'm having a difficult time discerning smudges from what you're referring to.
Do you have a screen protector on your phone?
Me and 3 friends have 3d's. Every one has the same thing, if you look at them from the side, almost 90 degrees, you can see a texture to the glass, and it almost seems like you would be able to feel it, but I believe its just the gorilla glass resin.

The screen was totally clean in the new pic. Yes I have a stick on screen protector and it has no effect on my problem. I realized I couldn't whipe the streaks out before I put it on.

lol.....I KNOW IT SOUNDS EXTREME, but i got my first one since launch...so yes, thru all the time up till i got my 3D i had 5.....i know 2 i dropped in paint at work....woo-hoo....LOL. hmmmm, i dunno it seemed to me that the ripples looks the same on both, but hey, i could be wrong.
EDIT....and im talking about the ripples....not scratches..i dont think scratched would be there by default
I would take it in. I can clearly see what you're talking about, and mine definitely doesn't have any kind of vertical streaking like that.
Okay, if the screen was clean in that last pic, I think I see what you're talking about now. The darker lines that almost look like a fingernail drew them? And you're sure they aren't between your screen protector and the glass? I'd take it back, that's not right.

Hello All,
I was just wondering how many of you have noticed some little imperfection in your screen? Not like a burned out pixel, but actually a little blemish from the manfacturing process. I have one little tiny area where it looks like maybe something is under the screen, like a spec of dust?
Has anyone else experienced this? Should I expect the screen to be perfectly flawless? I mean I know it should be, but can you pick out a little blemish?
Thanks,
Sam
It seems like 90% of the phones i've had get a speck or two of dust under the screen at some point. Sometimes phones come from the factory with a speck already under it! My personal opinion is that if you go in search of a totally flawless screen, you're really going to inconvenience yourself for little to no benefit in the end. I started liking all my gadgets a whole heck of a lot more when I learned not to scrutinize them so closely. Mass production has it's benefits and it's drawbacks.

And this looks more like a tiny dimple, or imperfection, I would say it looks like (if they had them) a mold mark of the smallest caliber.
I was just trying to get an idea as to if expecting a perfect screen with zero flaws was realistic, and I assume now that it is not. I have a very picky eye, I will find a flaw if it is there, my wife is always like "Really?, I would have never seen that.".

I agree that it's good not to be overly preoccupied w/screen compromises and deficiencies, given that all phone displays have them (the Rez' being somewhat subdued colors, unimpressive sunlight visibility, and crappy viewing angles), but I've never noticed a bad pixel or screen blemish in my Rezound, two previous Charges, two OG Droids, or a Blackberry.

I really wouldn't call the colors "subdued" to me the colors feel more natural as opposed to washed out. But hell this is just based off of our personal opinions right here. All LCD's have issues with direct visibilty with sunlight, then again practically every phone does. As for the viewing angles,the only time that I could find that a hinderence, is when I'm showing others videos, it's a bit harder for me to view. But the other 99.99% of the time I use my phone I am viewing the at a direct angle so no issues here.

Your old inc was AMOLED correct? I believe any device using that technology has a zero tolerancy for dust under the screen. I haven't even bothered looking for dust under my screen, I was way too OCD about it in the past.
I dont know for sure about his...but some dinc had LCD screens.
Also....those who like Samsung TVs will say the resound is washed out. Just like they would say a Sony or Panasonic is washed out. They are not, they are natural but when you are used to over exaggerated fake colors they seem washed out.

Yeah I personally do not like AMOLED technology for that reason . The first batch of og incs had AMOLED displays, but when they couldn't keep up with the huge demand, they switched to LCD.
i loved the AMOLED screen of the inc, i thought the blacks were unbeatable and the colors were amazing............
that is until i got the rezound, realized how oversaturated AMOLED really is, and how much pentile displays give me a headache now because i continously focus on the pixels!!

Pentile is garbage hands down. It's funny to see all the Nexus fan boys try to defend the screen.
I do a lot if boating here in FL. The Samsung Omnia2 with it's Amoled screen was suppose to be easier to see in direct sunlight, thus perfect for me. I could not see it at all in direct sunlight. I can, however see my Droid X and Rezound screens in direct sun. Granted I can see them better in the shade, but at least they aren't useless as was my Omnia screen. I also felt the colors on the Omnia looked cartoonish.

I've noticed that HTC apparently uses two or more manufacturers for the screen on this phone.
My friend recently bought the same phone, and I remember noticing that his screen looked great, but I figured it was just me being silly.
Today I put them side by side and we were wowed by the difference in quality. His blacks are much deeper and mine seems to have a slight gray sheen over it. Don't want to seem spoiled, but it was a big enough difference for me to want a new device..and on top of that mine drops 3g frequently, but not a problem from his....

Chances are when you buy two of the same phones at the same time, you will get the same screen type/manufacturer/quality on both phones.
I bought two evo 4g lte phones at different times and the screens are some what different. Both are 003 hardware revisions.
I know on the Original EVO you could boot into the Boot loader and you could figure out what screen you had, however, I just looked and I couldn't tell. Maybe I just don't know what to look for. This was an issue with Original EVO as the demand grew greater HTC had to use a 2nd company for the Screens to keep up.

If you are rooted, go into Terminal, type su, then dmesg. E-mail that to yourself and search for [DISP]. You'll get a bunch of results, but just sift through. This is what i found out about my evo
[DISP] jet_lcd_on: PANEL type = PANEL_ID_JET_SONY_NT_C2
Ive got
[DISP] jet_lcd_off: PANEL type = PANEL_ID_JET_SONY_NT_C2
one says off and one says on, but I have this:

My friend recently bought the same phone, and I remember noticing that his screen looked great, but I figured it was just me being silly.
Today I put them side by side and we were wowed by the difference in quality. His blacks are much deeper and mine seems to have a slight gray sheen over it. Don't want to seem spoiled, but it was a big enough difference for me to want a new device..and on top of that mine drops 3g frequently, but not a problem from his....

Have you tried doing a system update to fix your 3g drops. I was having that problem and it went away with the update

Sony here..

Ok, so its Sony and Auo. One of these screens has deeper blacks than the other. I will check mine to see what it is

Edit: I have Sony..so I suppose that the Auo is the one with the better blacks. I'll root ny friends phone later to confirn
Mine is AUO and the blacks look perfect to me. Although when the screen is gray or w/e it flickers a bit.

I truly believe all of of the evo lte's exhibit this behavior. That is a great example where the flickering happens. Certain people are more sensitive to refresh rates than others which is why I think everybody doesn't notice it. I certainly see it on my device.

I think you're right on this. I get it to the point that it fatigues my eyes if I look at it for too long. I show my phone to 10 different people, only 6 or so can see it. I've been glued to a smart phone since the iPhone came out.....and since then I've had various iPhones and Android handsets. This is my favorite one thus far, but I can't use the damn thing for much because my eyes are more sensitive to this than most people.
Mine doesn't seem to flicker? It does however seem to be brighter and then go a little darker when the screen turns on. It that what you all mean?

No, it's a rapid flicker. Open the play store, and before everything loads it is a Grey background. That is where mine flickers.
Which screen do you have. I have the AOU. Maybe the Sony screen does not have this issue.

I got this: <6>[82334.739987] [DISP] jet_lcd_on: PANEL type = PANEL_ID_JET_SONY_NT_C2 and it doesn't flicker when I go into google play or my eyes aren't sensitive enough to see it?
