Well I think it's more a users created bitmap issue as a display one...

Could be due to high resolution. Most of the apps images are build for standard resolution.
Lack of high res apps might be one of the reasons but yeah the phone has 720p screen and 16m colors !

true...but if the resolution of the image isn't there, it's not there notice the pixelation as well on those examples? They just don't scale well...
Exactly, as well as some apps are just not written for this screen resolution
like Photobucket.

My banding is a lot worse than yours.

It's not an issue in the phone. It's an issue in the app using a low-quality image.
Your 2 year old desire does not have a high enough resolution or color depth to show this, but if it did, you would see the same thing.

I'm actually more concerned with why my screen looks so different from kdadone's. Same phone and same application.. His pic looks at least much more acceptable than mine.
Does using the root image from development section affect anything in terms of 'display driver' that renders the screen?

I have exactly the same as you have. I think his is the same as well, just resized to a smaller version. Think the resize smooths it out a bit.

Screens are measured corner to corner. Even if they have the same screen size (4"), unless the aspect ratio is the same the actual length and width are different.

Then which amoled screen suits the x10? wat about nokia e7?
I never got these kinds of ideas... It would be more trouble than it would be worth. Also, you would have to change more than just the screen. Drivers, kernel tweaks, etc.... would all be necessary for you to actually take advantage of it

don´t think so

Take a chisel and a hammer to it.
Just kidding.
Yep.
I don't know why but all of a sudden my screen resolution has gone down.
Everything have a lesser quality to it.
I've read in a topic that you need to Reflash or so a Hard reset... I've change a ROM and it look the same.
Did you installed a screen protector? lol i know this sounds dumb but anyways needed to be asked
I've ZAGG InvisibleShield, but I've placed him before this problem has happened.
The most notable thing I've notice about the screen quality dropping was me being able to see those Transverse lines across me screen when ever I look in black things and in some other colors and parts of my phone.
someone told me something about being able to up grading the screen to 24bit
By any chance can you take an actual photo AND a screen shot of the display ?

That's not resolution, that's colour depth where you end up with banding. Have you installed a new rom, or an update for a rom lately?

Sorry for the double post but can someone tell my how can I chane my screen from 16 to 24 bits.
Nothing help with this problem and this is the only think I didn't try doing.
Maybe you can't see a different from an ordinary SGS2 screen, but when I look at the alarm clock notes and a lot of other screen I can clearly see vertical lines when going from one color tune to a more darker one.
Hahahahaha. Dude, everyone with an SGS2 hates the fact that everything is 16 bit. The whole firmware needs to have rewritten drivers for us to get more than 16 bits! It's impossible as of yet.
Is it possible to pay someone or switch the screen of the original galaxy s2 for a Hd one?
i dont think so.... it would effect the software and everthing..

It would be nice. Or i can find someone who does the job.
Why would you want a different screen than what is on the S2? I dont know of another mobile device that has a better looking screen than our, or one thats really even that is close to a sharp!!!
Idk. Just not Hd like the iphone. Still it is alright...

Put them side by side and you'll see that while the iPhone wins for resolution and clarity, the SGS2 far exceeds it with contrast and colors.
Tottaly agree... I don't see the point in replacing the screen anyway what do you need that high of a resolution for anyway?

Should have waited for the nexus or went with LG's 720p res phone. Also i work with a lot of iphone fanboys and not one yet has said they like their screen over mine
Screen Adjuster app lets you change red green blue plus contrast and brightness. I use it and it works well.
I use LCD Resolution app. Tw launcher isn't compatible but launcher pro and go launcher works great!

Samsung phones are highly proprietary and don't respond well to changes. Even using a non OEM battery can cause problems in some cases. What don't you like about the display? I think its pretty nice.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777) using XDA Premium.
Has anyone who tried out this phone tested it for the screen lines/blobs issue that the S2 had?
I would also like to know this too the yellow tint issue, and black blobs. I had the issue in both my SGS 2 black and White...though in galaxy nexus it was vey negligible but still there . I hope its not in SGS 3
There seems to be a pink tint rather than yellow tint.

Should probably wait a bit before buying this phone, who knows what the probability is.
Bump. People should know about this before buying the phone.
Most of the screen won't have tint problems . But still people can check the screen using lcd test code before taking it to home

Yup! I received my SGS3 yesterday, and after seeing this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658601 I checked the Iron man Pepper Kiss video on Youtube and I did not notice any problems!
The pixelization is sometimes caused by poor encoding.
I received the phone yesterday.
Did the LCD tests.
All tests are crystal clear. RGB backgrounds look like glass and the black videos are deep blacks without pixalation of any form.
I also checked another thread talking about some kind of pixels that were appearing as different colour and this didn't occur either.
The screen works perfectly and it does look gorgeous despite that pentile screen debate.
If a phone doesn't perform as described by me (and many many others) then the phone is simply defective and will be covered by DOA.
Bumb:cyclops: sorry

Yep there is a topic on it in general section I think. "ink marks" or something. Personally I think it is not a major problem. I have 2 or 3 tiny spots but most of the time we don't use the phone in a pitch black environment, nor are we looking at a pure black screen (how often do you spend in the homescreen?). It would however be an issue if it was noticable during movies, games etc, where the viewing experience is paramount

Yes true, it would be an issue if it was visible while watching movies and such.. but question is how long should this ink spot last compare to the other parts of the screen?
What does this ink indicate?
Yes I have them and it annoys me. And I don't understand why people defend it and say it's okay, we've all paid a lot of money for these phones how is it okay or acceptable to have black dots all over the screen? Yes it's only under very specific conditions but that's not the point, it is extremely annoying watching movies when they fade to black, when in the app launcher under dark conditions. And it's not just 1 or 2 small dots it's like someone broke a black pen and flicked it all over the screen.
It's just the way how the amoled is made. Every amoled has it. Don't worry. U won't notice that after while

I've only had the phone a few days now so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt since everything I've read is saying you get used to it but...... It's there..... There are dots on the screen every time there's black, how do you get used to that? I understand every AMOLED screen has it but don't you think that if it's that big a problem then the screens aren't ready for prime time and need to improved? I've found myself using white everywhere when black is what saves battery on an AMOLED screen and black looks good on an AMOLED screen but I can't stand the dots.
