Just got my Atrix yesterday and the screen looks grainy as hell is this something related with the qhd display or is it a hardware issue?Everything looks like little squares it doesn't look anything like the screen on my MT4G.
Anyone had this before.Ur input will be greatly appreciated.
Yes the pentile qHD looks sometimes grainy. You become used to it. I had a MT4G before too and was first a bit disappointed but now I like the display and its high resolution.

Nope, and it doesn't look like "DOS" either...
Thank you guys.I guess I will get used to It.So far loving the device.
Unfortunately you need to go over 300ppi, so you should buy a iphone4 as that the only one, even sensation/pyramid isn't that good at 256ppi.
Reason is, that's all the human eye can take.

Post some screen shots for us to interpret how big an issue it is important think you would need to go get it replaced as others are fine and not able to see the screen to be grainy
The Pentile LCD is the real reason for the graininess, not it's dpi. It has 1/3 less subpixels than displays of the same resolution.

Atrix has 240 ppi and is a different 1/4 HD screen to other phones.

yeah.. how come the "high resolution" looks crappy compared to the same qHD on the sensation? (not talking about colors).
not have atrix so far , the fact is most keepers i know feel the grainy,
Check it out! Just thought I'd let everyone know
isnt optimized for our phones display screen unfortunately.
Works fine but it doesnt support qHD so it does not fill the screen...

It does if you download spare parts and uncheck compatibility mode. Or at least I believe it should. Mine fills the screen and I have compatibility mode disabled through LCD Density Changer
rwith a density of 275 it works. use lcd density changer or edit your build prop.
275? Man. I imagine that in itself is massive. Just out of curiousity, Nottach what density do you use anyways? I have been on 200 for a couple weeks and I just switched back to 240 (default) I think for me, 220 is the sweet spot.
i use 240. i was just playing with it this morning when i first dled gh5. found 275 worked perfectly..
Hi,
On some preview for the Atrix I read that 2.75 was going to be the default pixel density, so it makes sense that setting it to that would be OK.
Cheers!
hey all, I am just wondering if there is a setting, or a trick to be able to see the screen in the Sun? I work outside and anytime someone calls, or i need to use the phone, I have to cup my hands over it and turn away from the sun, and do everything I can to just be able to see the screen? Do the anti-glare screen protectors work? Is it my otterbox case?
Wondering if there are any tricks of the trade?

I use a matte screen protector. Works good enough, but you're only gonna get so much result. It's not really designed for the outdoors.
Yes go to you Display Properties and crank your brightness to the max. I use mine in the sun and see it perfectly. In fact I use a Powerbar that has Wifi/Bluetooth/GPS and the brightness function on it so its all at the fingertips. One push and the screen is medium bright another push and its full on bright and one more push and its at its lowest setting.. But youd be amazed how incredible the display is when the brightness is full blast.

Ok, I have been keeping it on "auto brightness" I was assuming when it senses the sun? it maxes itself out?

Auto brightness is garbage...well for me it is. I like having my brightness the lowest when im in doors and highest when im out doors. I have to do it manually but i dont mind.

Install my kernel, it increases the max brightness for your screen. The maximum brightness for 3D mode is 255, but the max brightness for standard mode is 232. I bumped standard mode to 255, so it is still within factory specs.

Any know the dpi of the touchpads screen? cant get info on it anywhere
1024x768 over 9.7 inches comes out to 131.96 DPI.
Sounds rather odd....

looks like 131 is correct.

It's the same screen as the ipad. Same manufacturer as well (LG). All intensive purposes, it is the same screen.

I think the idea is to coral all the posts into a manageable order for later redistribution.
just like the fire sale , this could get ugly and disorganized fast.
I thank the mods for taking whatever steps to prepare/maintain.

Brightless slider in the top-right menu. Or were you referring to it on full brightness (I don't have an iPad to compare to)?

So your telling me if the screen breaks, Just replace with an iPad screen+digitizer? Or am I clutching at parts?
if the screen is similar to the ipad, why does it seem so low quality?
I was on my new one all night, and I cant get over the poor quality of display.
I was just browsing, blogging and it just looks so bad compared to my work ipad or the playbook I'm currently demo'ing.
could it be the browser, websites, or is there a patch I need? Really making me question my purchase.
I think people are confusing DPI with PPI. PPI is pixels per inch, which is the 131 being tossed out. DPI is how the screen is seen by software. Dont know what it is for the touchpad, but figured I'd try and clear some confusion.

Wow, thanks for such a useful reply.
To everyone else, is this just how the display is going to look? Or will an Android port or additional webOs updates provide some help?

No, if you put the TP side by side with the iPad 2 (hell, with the original iPad), you can notice a BIG difference in the display quality. I think that is the way the software handles the screen. Colors do look WAY sharper and crisper on the ipad vs the TP.
Its the exact same lg screen from the ipad 2, hell you could take the ipad 2 screen out and put it in the touchpad.. android port may fix it if not we'll see some voodoo colors.

I did some lookin:
TP and iPad 1 use LP097X02-SLA1
iPad 2 uses LP097X02-SLN1
Don't know what the differences are. I don't know why the touchpad screen isn't as bright as the ipad either. (Perhaps the touchpad software simply doesn't allow it to go that high? Perhaps in that case, an android release could? Though I've heard many complain that the ipad is blindingly bright.)
Interestingly enough, samsung is coming out with a 10.1" retina touch display. Will apple get their hands on it? Probably not, actually:

I think there must be differences between displays. I've found mine to be very bright. I leave the brightness slider around 30% and find that's very bright, even a bit too bright when using in a darkened room.
I find the colours aren't particularly vibrant in general use, but the they are in the Angry Birds loading screen, so I'd guess that there's some kind of tone down colour profile set in the OS somewhere.

not exactly I'd think. While they use the same screen, they don't use the same bezel dimensions IIRC. Bezel is part of the screen, so buying the slightly different iPad one wouldn't work I don't think.

turn off auto dimming in screen and lock setting give much brighter display.

used rom toolbox. set it for 220. stuck at samsung boot screen.
cleared cache
still stuck.
re-flashing the root-rom fixes it.
all setting and data intact.
Anyone succeed with changing ppi yet? Here we are, screen the size of a planet... and the email size shows what... 12 characters across??? Duh...
So - it's driving me nuts after running slimics on my SGS at 182ppi and I'm sure stock sgs3 is in the 240 range like most others seem to be.... but the LCD modder pro that I bought isn't good with ICS roms and wasn't sure if someone has already changed their build.prop for a better ppi/dpi (never get those straight...)?

dots per inch is something that is normally discussed with printers, scanners, etc.
pixels per inch is something that is discussed with displays

Thanks for that - just seems counter-intuitive for some reason that when you lower the pixels per inch that your display gets smaller. I'd love to get a better ppi for the phone though, lots more use could be made out of that football field sized screen.
This phone does not deal too well with lower ppi settings. Used LCD Density Changer and got stuck at boot. Had to restore to CWM backup and tried again with different settings to no avail.
Used LCD Resolution to try lower resolutions without the reboot effect and it looks like crap. I could not get past the bloated numbers on my pin lock, let alone look at the monstrosity for the icons on the screen. My HTC EVO (+ dialer fix) does 161 without any issues and makes such good use of the smaller screen.
Was hoping to get something better with the larger screen in the S3. Hoping that someone finds the trick to this phone!
The one poster above used from toolbox, which is what I saw as a recommendation for ICS roms but looks like it failed for him.

I used Rom Toolbox to change the LCD res on the same day I rooted. I went from 320 to the 200 I was on my SR, then to 220, to 260 and increasing back up as I thought it was way too small. At some point I couldn't get back to 320 anymore as the max on the slider is the current res. So I had to reflash the rooted img to reset it back.
I'm a little confused here. LCD panels should almost always be left at their native resolution. Why are we trying to adjust the pixels?

This isn't adjusting the screen resolution, it's changing the reported DPI so apps draw their stuff smaller to fit on the "lower resolution" screen. The actual display resolution never changes.
The reason the lower DPI settings cause an increase in perceived screen space is because all the apps (system or otherwise) believe the display to be of a lower density, so they draw smaller text/buttons/images/etc to fit on (what they think is) a smaller screen. The display is still being driven at its native 1280x720.
