So I was just browsing videos of the gs2 and I found that the screen is only pushing 16 bit colors. They tried to make the best screen in the mobile industry and it just fails when it comes to any type of gradient. The Evo3d and sensation push 32 bit colors which makes a HUGE difference. This (for me) settles any unsureness I had about evo3d vs gs2.
Good research!

The people who just love the amoled screens don't realize that they are not color accurate..they are vibrant and colorful but I know a lot of galaxy s owners who were not very satisfied when they printed pictures they thought looked terrific on their phones..oversaturated that's all.I'm going for the qhd but I guess to each theory own
I think it really does come down to preference. I own a vibrant as well as a inspire "4g" (which is my daily driver). I think images (ane video) are much more impressive on the super amoled screen. The potential battery savings are nice as well. All that said, I prefer to use my inspire; larger screen and more horsepower (under certain conditions)

its not like the colors aren't accurate... they may be a bit over saturated but thats all.
as far as 16 bit vs 32 bit you can't tell the difference .
we were debating this in the nook forum as 32 bit was causing problems.
switched to 16 bit and it looks the same.
the big difference (to me) is in viewing angles. laying in bed or on the couch its not always easy to have the phone directly in front of you. hopefully the evo looks acceptable using it this way.

Over saturation --> inaccuracy. Reds may still be red but they don't accurately represent the red in the image.

doesn't mean its any less accurate then the evo if the colors are washed out because you have it slightly tilted to one side.

I beg to differ about 32 vs 16. any gradient will have a ton of color banding on 16, 32 has close to none. I say close because you can look really closely on any screen and see where the pixels have changed. I'll post a video I found where you see the difference, its huge
I do hope that the evos viewing angles are better than the sensations.. i was pretty bummed about that
Edit: heres the video, watch the quadrant bench at 4:15 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3axSZX1R_s
yeah i didn't see a huge difference other then how washed out the sensation looked
don't get me wrong i'm getting the evo but i really hope the viewing angles are better then what i've been seeing.

considering the evo is terrible that really doesn't help much lol.
i did google around and there are some complaints about sgs2 banding. should be able to fix it though with a custom kernel (i would imagine).

What more can we ask for? HTC did a great job and until Samsung has a track record to build quality I will buy HTC.

Sure seems like some people lay it flat on a table and try to peek over the edge to look at it.
we're arguing on screens on internet forums about screens about screens about screens about screens
It could matter. I'm still never getting a Samsung.. but what if you and a friend are trying to watch a video..?
Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.
Just wondering if the contrast has improved...thanks. (I am already aware that the resolution increased)
I am also wondering if the new screen is any easier to see in daylight...
In my honest opinion, contrast is worse than my Evo4G (Epson) and the screen is slightly harder to see in the sunlight.
For me I can see it a little better in the sunlight. My big thing is even in a low lit room I seem to get a reflection that distracts my eyes when looking at 3d pics and stuff, but just normal use during the day outside is better for me.

Same here..Evo3D seems a lot easier for me to see in the sunlight...As for the screen its self,it has a warm temperature to it.Whites are not as bright as they use to be on the OG Evo...but its really easier on the eyes this way.
Sent from that EVO3D Thingy...I need an asprin.
I love the screen on the 3d versus the og .... Always felt the og had a washed out look the 3d doesnt give me that same feeling.
both are equally bad under sunlight. Hardly can see it.
i am also wondering what screen has better color and brighter i have always been jealous because samsung phone produce better screens but hopefully this screen on the evo 3d looks better then the og if not i will not be getting this that would be a embarrassment
Having both phone in my hand right now i can honestly say that evo 4g looks better. The evo 3d has a yellowish tint to it. White looks yellowish while og evo look pure white. I know.this can be fix after rooted but i kind of hate this yellowish tint (warm color). It wont be noticable to you until you hold both phones next to each other.

Could anyone post some photo's of a side by side comparison between the Evo 3D and the old Evo (or Desire HD)?
The screen of my Desire HD is fine for me, although it can be a pain to see it in bright sunlight even at 100% brightness. I'm very interested to see some pics of the Evo 3D's screen in bright sunlight at 100%, 50% and 0% compared to some of the older HTC phones.
For what its worth, the Nexus S screen is also very hard to see in sunlight. Also the Samsung colors are way over saturated - not accurate at all.
OTOH the Blackberry Bold is very easy to see in direct sun.
*also wondering, is the active part of the screen more narrow on the 3d, or is the bezel just smaller? Thanks y'all.
Wow, this doesn't look good. The two main reasons I was considering this phone was for higher contrast and better look in daylight! I can't see using an upgrade just for a speedier processor.
My phone performs great in Sun light.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I have no problem reading the 3d in sunlight but I also didn't have a problem with the OG EVO. It is not the sharpest under the sun but I have no problems with either one.
Having said that I was expecting to see a much more improved screen over my EVO but that was not the case. I had sold my EVO a week before I got the 3d so I can't compare side by side but I don't think I can tell the difference between SLCD and LCD. This might also be that none of the graphics look they they were converted to qhd as they do not look high def at all......
Either way, the OG EVO was a great device but I do believe the EVO 3d is a total all around upgrade and worth it's value.
To each his/her own, but I believe the 3vo has a way better screen. All the reviews say the s-lcd is gorgeous as well.
Holding it next to my novatec evo 4g, there is no comparison. Resolution makes a huge difference, but colors are way better as well. It is a matter of opinion if you prefer a cool white (purple tint) or a warm white (more accurate, I don't see the yellow tint). Beyond that all the other colors are great. For example the angry birds icon look much better on the 3vo than the evo. I held the 3vo side by side to the samsung infuse (the 4g, At&T super + scree), and I can honestly say I prefer the 3vo. The evo is brighter, and the colors are vivid and accurate. Yes, the blacks on the infuse are deep, but all the other colors are cartoonish. It was even more evident when I compared two picture of myself on both phones. On the 3vo, I looked normal, and on the infuse I had orange skin.
Compared to the nexus s, the 3vo wins again. The whites look horrible on the nexus s. Very dirty looking.
Then again, just my opinion. I also have fine performance in bright sun light.

The Evo3D has alot more to offer than just a speedier processor... but I am sure you know that. Given that you've compared the spec sheet with the OG Evo... is a higher contrast screen all that constitues using an upgrade for you?

Yes, the screen has a lot to do with it. Believe it or not, the OG is fast enough for me! ;-) What I am looking for is better screen, smaller size, better battery life, and not much else honestly. The OG is a great phone IMO. It has simply worked the way it should from the get-go. Cheers to HTC for putting out such a good phone.
Also, no one answered this question earlier...
I am wondering, is the active part of the 3D screen more narrow and longer, or is the bezel simply smaller?

the screen is more narrow and longer which I wasn't crazy about BUt it's actually rapidly growing on me. I feel that the screen is easier to see in sunlight and I didin't realize how bad the purple tint on the 4G screen was till I put the 3D next to it. for me the screen was readable even with polarized sunglasses on (the evo would be practically invisible with them on)
Good to know, thanks.

Being on my 4th, I feel ya! Dead pixel, paint missing by the menu button, yellowish tint to the screen w/bad light bleed from the bottom. My 4th is actually pretty good. No dead pixels or missing paint. The screen is 100x's better, the colors pop and can appreciate the SLCD now. Only very minor light bleed across the bottom and only visible in the dark. Nothing like my 3rd, it was out of control lol
If we could get an app like screen filter which can turn the capacitive buttons off/on...someone should make an app that has a slider to dim them.
First one received from tela sales Kentucky warehouse had light leakage galore on bottom & creeping up both sides at soft key area ugly stuff.
I took to corp store swapped out for new no leakage present.
2d-3d key is tiny loos of course no big deal.
That should be easy jerry-rig fix padding out key with scotch tape, I'm just waiting for good tear down video before doing so.

Agree! They really need better quality control. At my local RS I opened 5 boxes and every phones had flaws, including, smashed power buttton, nick on black paint, seams on edges not flush. This is ridiculous! I have a good unit, but dreading the day something happens, like light leakage, for example. GET IT TOGETHER HTC!!!!
I have horrible light leak around the bottom inch of the phone all around the cap. Buttons..
Radio shack said I can't return it "because I'm past my 30 days"
I bought a og EVO to tide me over till the EVO 3d came out... Back on June 1st and since I exchanged my og EVO for the new evo3d they consider it being past my 30 days?
I spoke to the manager and told her that it should be based on the date of new purchase not based off original purchase...

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.

My brothers has cool whites and I have warm whites...yet our panels are both Sony...so I don't get it.
mine is also a warm-toned screen, nonetheless it looks great
I posted about this yesterday but it already got buried. Unfortunately you can either hassle with taking it back and hoping for a more blueish white panel or you can get used to it. I hated the look when i unboxed, I have the same yellowish tint on white. But im already used to it for the most part. There is an app on the play store called "Screen adjuster" that you can add some blue back in but its not perfect and it has to run in the background i haven't tested to see how much of a load it puts on the phone if left on all day. Also a good app to use to visually inspect the colors your panel is showing is "dead pixel test". So software can be used to help the tint, but as far as a permanent solution, I believe that would be up to HTC. Maybe some devs can do it eventually once we have s-off.
I've just starting to really notice this, and its driving me nuts.
The whites are not white at all, they are more yellowish eggshell (or as I like to call it 'light puke'). You can really notice it when your in natural light. I held it up to something pure white and you can see an epic difference.
Does this not bother anybody else? I forget, but don't some ROMs (for other phones) have options to change screen tones? Is this something that I can look forward to ? Or perhaps my eyes (and mind) are just playing tricks on me.
I dislike 'warm' tones a lot. I wish I gotten a 'cool' tone phone instead, I can handle the blue tone a lot better.
I wonder why this is I mean it isnt like amoled n the screens should be.the.same.... Maybe dim lights inside?
Root it and try chainfire 3d, it has the option to change screen tone in I believe the pro version. Added bonus, works with all roms to my knowledge. I haven't tried it yet myself as I'm completely happy with the tone on mine, but I used it on the og evo for a long time.

Thanks, I'll give it a try since I'm already rooted. I messed around with 'screen adjuster' and 'filer your screen' and neither seemed to do the trick.
EDIT: Looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer to play with chainfire 3d. Requires S-off (or probably just unlock bootloader). Only have root. But chainfire looks promising.
This was a problem on the One X for AT&T but most of them cleared up after a week or so. My advice would be to keep the brightness up for a while when using it.

We have two EVO LTE and one of ours is much cooler and blue and the other is much warmer. How do you check if the display type to see if they are different?
My screen is warm also. At first I thought it was the ZAGG HD screen protector that was causing that yellowish tint, but after I removed it, it was still there.
If anyone with two EVO LTE phones can post a side-by-side picture of the warm and cool screens, I'd greatly appreciate it.
TIA
Here is a picture. Its not the best quality so it might be hard to tell a difference. The difference is much more apparent in real life.
Supposedly its due to the adhesive. There is a thread about it in the HOX forum. My screen seems to be whiter than it was a week ago but that may be a placebo effect- I need to do another side by side comparison with my iPhone to tell.

I was dreading a problem like this. I can deal with blacks not being black (have to deal with it with the very nature of LCD) but whites... Yeah, they need to be white.
Here's to hoping my device doesn't have this issue. I will update this post with news.
get an app called screen adjuster
then increase the blue a little bit, to about 15 or so
woooooorks wonderss!!!
On my NS4G, there was a kernel mod developed by SuperCurio that allowed you to adjust gamma levels. I always ran my phone with very cool blue whites.
Maybe something like that would be possible for the Evo?
I think I have the warmer screen color. Things like this doesn't bother me at all. I've seen thread like this everytime a new phone comes out. After a few week your eyes and OCD levels will adjust.

You can def tell the one on the right is the warm though. I'm sure in direct natural light the difference is huge.

I'm hoping this is the case. Its weird because I think it changes. Like after it goes in direct natural light it gets really bad.

Same. I can deal with the black but not the whites. Whites need to be crisp and clean not yellow. I repainted all the eggshell whites in my house to pure white. To me it takes away the crispness of the screen.

Man you hit the nail right on the nail. I had mine set at 14 for the past three days. It helps but it still isn't ideal. Plus its consuming resources.
dont think its an adhesive bonding process still "curing"
i think the color temp is permanent.
hopefully a dev will allow color temp change because its a little awkward staring at my pc monitor, then looking at the phone's brown and yellow drab lcd tint.

This is what I am praying for. But enough people have to be annoyed by it for somebody to do something.
The best test is to open the settings menu (Evo white) and compare it against a piece of notebook paper (real white). Its gross.
