AMOLED vs. S-LCD HTC Desire screens fight it out

14 September, 2010
It's time for round 2 of the AMOLED vs. S-LCD match. It's not cut-and-dry, S-LCD does well in contrast and color reproduction, though not so well when it comes to the promised lower power usage and sunlight...

Unless you're looking at the phone with a magnifier you wouldn't be able to tell the pixel difference. Also, the new S-AMOLED has better sunlight visibility than both the IPS-LCD and AMOLED. Plus, there's less power usage for the S-AMOLED. Hence, it is the #1 screen tech at the moment. Won't be surprised if Samsung creates a better screen next year. Maybe called "SS-AMOLED?" :)

    [deleted post]How does that even make any sense? In 4.0 wasn't the reception/signal formula supposedly showing more bars than you really had? So in 4.01 shouldn't you see less bars? Am I missing something here?

            Reina display is the biggest piece of crap display out there, there is zero contrast and everything on it looks bland. I sell sooooo many galaxys by simply holding the galaxy up next to the iphone 4 and letting customers look for themselves. Theres not even a comparison. Especially video playback. Apple really should have made a different screen choice.

                  this doesn't really make any sense since we're all viewing these pictures on our regular LCD monitors. we can't judge which one's better by just looking at it on our monitors. the only way we can truly judge is by seeing it personally.

                      Blah blah blah. The Fact that the iphone4 has a res of 640*960 and CAN be seen in the sunlight puts it out in front. Beautiful display. Many OMOLED displays are crap in the sun and their colour too artificial.

                                  Why is the iphone 4 screen not reviewed. Because it would be number one. Thats why it wasn't mentions as I agree with the other iphone user. The retina iphone 4 display is automatically the worlds number one as its Apple and the best.
