adam...

LCD is the liquid film layer in front that contains the pixels... it is lighted up by a CCFL tube or color corrected white LED's... this white LED's has a perfect pure white Kelvin range. CCFL tubes tend to go pink after a few years...

But the Display is actually totally black, and litted up by the LED's or the previous CCFL Tubes... (Cold Cathode Fluorescent)

                    Iphone still rules. It's still being compared to newcomers. It's exciting to think about what the next iphone would be like. I hope a 3.7 screen w/ dual core.

                      "the Arc is fast and responsive all the time, without any interface glitches, loadings or noticeable lag whatsoever"

                      Well it lags at 1:01-1:02 haha

                        It seems Timescape used the MOTOBLUR twitter status from the gsmarena test account. It has nothing to do with MOTOBLUR actually.

                            i think viewing angel and contrast of reality display is better than retina and super LED
                            but this is my opinion not gsmarena!

                              finally SE did something good and tried to catch on with the world. This phone is very good and I'm proud of SE... Previous phones were like a waste of good technology

                                    it is a very good phone,
                                    just wonder why still SE wants to use phisical keys,
                                    with capacitive keys would be much way better

                                      Looked very careful at illustrating photos of the three phones respective screen performance.
                                      That was revealing !!
                                      Here, on GSM Arena, the Samsung SUPER Amoled screen is repeatedly praised as *the* best (or one of the best) there is.
                                      >>> HOWEVER the photos reveal a VERY pronounced CYAN TINT on the Galaxy S.
                                      Further, the iPhone4 clearly demonstrates its "retina display" :
                                      NO pixling whatsoever on the iPhone4 ! Impressive !
                                      > > >
                                      The S-E X10 Arc has the BEST VIEWING ANGLE performance, hands down:
                                      you can't even compare the Galaxy S, nor the iPhone4. Very, very good.
                                      Add to that a big bright screen with ALMOST PERFECT COLOR BALANCE -
                                      that screen must be one of the best around !! Way to go !!!
                                      - Also, the vid demonstrates a SUPERBLY QUICK & RESPONSIVE phone !

                                      I REALLY really want one !
