Calling it a Retina is like directly calling SJ and begging for a lawsuit
The pixel density is already really high on the Evo as it is. Sure, it could be pushed higher, but just like the iPhone4, outside of ~6" from your face, you won't be able to tell a difference.
Super AMOLED can't happen because Samsung has them only for their own private use for the next 18 months!. It's kinda ridiculous IMO, but whatevs. Plus they only make them in 4" ATM not 4.3"
AMOLED is also in short supply, plus, they're not made in 4.3" varieties either. At least not in the mass market. The cost for a 4.3" AMOLED would be ridiculously high anyway.
Sorry to burst your bubble
It'd be nice to have S-AMOLED but it just ain't happening...

Nothing wrong with it, but as far as taking my phone outside in the sunlight I will admit i have a hard time seeing it at times. My vision is 20//40 so i have good eye sight. So to sum it up, id like to have a screen i can see in the sunlight, and better looking in general not saying that the EVO's screen sucks or anything.
I was also just curious if any company was producing screens as the EVO is very easy to dismember.

dont AMOLED suck in direct sunlight or am i mistaken?
C'mon PixelQi.
They aready offer 10" screen for you to replace your netbook ones with.
Basically, it looks like an LCD with the backlight turned on and works normally as such. However, when you turn off the backlight, you get a color e-paper-esque display that has no refresh rate issues whatsoever. It really is sthe best of both worlds and anoth major LCD maker has jumped at the technology.
Honestly though, I think that it would be great to have Super-LCD tech from Sony. The visibility is better than the AMOLED and Super-AMOLED in sunlight, color and contrast are the same, and the battery drain is actually lower. Did I mention that the price was cheaper as well?
To be perfectly honest, I have a Novatech screen version and I am just fine with that. I would love a small PixelQi screen, but that hasn't happened yet...
Anyone know were to purchase a replacement screen? Mine is cracked and now insurance. Sorry if it has been asked before. Thanks in advance.

this could be a rumour but if true, I'm going to be a lot more careful with my desire.
I heard this as well. How will this affect battery life and do they look anywhere near as good?
LCDs these days are almost as good as AMOLED. Note that I said almost. I don't think anything can compare to an AMOLED or SuperAMOLED in regular inside environments, but when you get outside and the sun is shining, it's almost as if the screen isn't on. I have to put the brightness all of the way up to see the screen. LCDs don't have that problem. So If you don't know which you have in a new phone, you probably wont be able to tell unless you're outside! muahaha.
Hmm. I'm glad I already have the Desire...
As far as I know, AMOLED gives better viewing angles, has better colors and is better for battery life (which is a pain on Android phones).
Also, an AMOLED is better than LCD for showing true black or darker shades due to the lack of a backlight which is in LCD screens

Maybe this will finally prevent the pinkish issue on some HTC AMOLED devices.
Well, Sony's TFTs shouldn't have PenTile, which should make text sharper and really ought to get rid of the pink tint. It's a trade-off; personally I'd rather have TFT with RGB subpixels, but it seems to be a minority opinion.
according to engadget, they say the Iphone 4 screen is better then the Galaxy S Super ALMOLED.
Even though I hate Iphone I must admit, the screen does look good.

The screen could be good, but i don't understand why apple did't made the screen bigger.
Iphone 4 screen is awesome, nice colours & perfectly viewable from a variety of angles. Pin sharp & very very clear. But its a bit too small for my liking.
Doesn't the iphone use ips technology or is that the same as super lcd (because this is the first time i hear of super lcd)

What the Engadget article really showed was that in NORMAL use there was no discernible advantage to the iPhone 4 screen.
Being the Apple shills that they are they resorted to the retarded microscope comparisons. IF you have to show what the pixels look like under a microscope to get what the difference is then there's no difference.
Would it be possible to replace the EVO Screen with a super AMOLED or a regular OLED screen? if so how? I just thought the EVO would look so much better with a better screen.

Probably should be possible since HTC is changing to S-LCD since production of S-AMOLED has shifted to Samsung's phones until 2011.
If so then it should be possible.
What I do not like about the AMOLED is the PenTile Matrix and that itself will steer me away from it. I picked up the new Fascinate from Samsung and the Pentile dots drives me crazy. On smaller text its just too noticeable and very fuzzy on Google Maps when zooming in.

Pentile looks rediculously disgusting.
S-LCD is the way to go, and i hope one comes out for the evo soon from china soon.
The lcd on the evo is a very high quality LCD as is. I don't know why you would be thinking it would look better with a better screen in the first place.
we'll.. that's the only thing that bugs me..
i can live with a locked bootloader,
i can keep suffering from the wifi disconnections
but that pentile matrix is really stupid. (why was it invented in first place.. argh!!~)
does anyone know about a 4" lcd i can get that will fit (size & connectivity) into the atrix with the same resolution (960x540) but NON PENTILE?
thanks!

Yeah, the problem is actually the normal saturation of the colors, while the samoled has very saturated colors.

pretty much any phone that's not ours, or the galaxy-S gen of SAMOLED.
The screen is alright compared to the matrix that the galaxy s is using.. our screen is much brighter and battery efficient..
but what if there was a replacement screen which is full RGB stripe, wouldn't you take it?
I know i would... full rgb will make gradients smoother...
p.s.
I'm not hating the amoled but lets face it.. its over saturated.. natural colors on lcd looks way better to me.

of course most of us would take a full-stripe screen but they don't and never will exist for our phone.
not necessarily..
Apple made a "Retina Display" with a smaller screen size, means.. higher pixel density.
so we know the technology exists, maybe a full rgb screen will be available in the future..

Probably. On a different phone.
The display drivers are written to drive the current LCD in the device. The display hardware is built around it, it's not as simple as just getting a new LCD. Not to mention the fact the digitizer is generally integrated into the displays as well.
i haven't thought about it Ririal, you're probably right.
so.. it wasn't enough they locked the bootloader
they had to make everything else so complicated so no one will mess with it.. damn..
Lol, I think it's intrinsically complicated, not Motorola's doing.... This is a dual core phone, not an abacus....

Fitment isn't the issue. You can't just replace the display, the entire device is built around the hardware. You'd have to build a new display SPECIFICALLY for the Atrix, from scratch.
i know what u mean, cable arrangements.. etc..
well, if it'll be working, ill figure out the rest
so ill be in touch with Moto China soon and we'll see if its not a pentile one.
and its not a big deal, and i'm not whining about it.. i'm just trying to find a better screen and hoping to find one.

it's not just cable arrangements. it's hardware. a pentile matrix is run by a different LCD driver than a standard LCD. that driver is most likely soldered straight into the phoneboard or baked into the processor. at that, the connectors for the two types of screens are probably different as well.
honestly you're going to get nothing but disappointment and frustration. these are not honda civics, you can't plug-and-play between phones willy nilly. i'm an MSEE and i would love a non-pentile LCD as much as you, but it's in all likelihood impossible.
you're absolutely right..
i just finished a phone call with a costumer service representative from Motorola China..
she didn't understood any of what i've asked on the regarding the display on the Moto XT882..
because she barely understand English and i've tried my best to make it easier & simpler for her
and yet, it didn't work.. she was very patient and nice but still.. it was a total waste of 25 minutes.
and although it was a total fail.. i think it was worth trying
So I'm wondering if the screen on the phone is actually nice? I've read mixed reviews but I'm just wondering if its exaggerated or if the screen is actually nice. How would current owners of the device rate it? Is it on par with the retina display? Are pixels actually noticeable? Any info would greatly be appreciated, thanks.

I have spent around an hour with it and screen is CRAP compared to iPhone 4. Very very dark even on max brightness and AUTO off. There is no white shade, just grey. If you look closer, you can see individual pixels even they call it HD screen. Very dissapointed, such an amazing design with fresh Android, but terrible screen. Not even SAMLOED+.
iPhone 4 screen is unbeatable.
Really? In a way this wouldn't surprise me, though. My 4 and 4S have always been crisper than the other phones I see. I would've hoped the GN would be better though.
Can you comfortably load a desktop web page and see all the text without zooming?
wow. That sounds absolutely terrible. A nightmare. No white shade, just grey. wow. Just canceled order. Thanks for that.
the screen is brilliant, i love it.
Oh really, huh?
Funny, since usually people complain that AMOLED screens are too ****ing bright.
Crank the brightness up a bit and the GN is a decent screen, certainly better than my NS. Now I also have an iPhone 4s (work made me do it!) and I'd say the colours are a little more realistic on the iPhone. In the end the screen size is of greater benefit to me and fairly soon
Supercurio will have worked his voodoo magic and we will be able to choose whatever colour temperature we want.
Edit... the screen isn't dull in comparison with the iPhone, that's complete crap (sorry). And there are no pixels when zooming in on web pages.

Take iPhone 4 and put next to Samsung(max brightness) and you will see HOW dark is sammy`s display and how "white" is white colour - just terrible. Samsung should have used some really premium display in their flagship superphone instead of this crap. I`m so used to superbright retina screen, looking at sammy`s screen felt like its $50 phone.

It's not really surprising that the iPhone has a "better"screen. It uses a high density IPS panel. IPS is well known for its superior brightness, color accuracy, and viewing angles. There's a reason IPS monitors are so wildly popular in photo/graphic editing fields.
Some will disagree because of their ridiculous iPhone animosity, but they don't really matter.
That said, the GSII screen (the SAMOLED+) is not "junk". Anyone who says otherwise is a fool.

Just google/youtube, quite few. But it doesn`t reflect real life situation because its recorded by camera and it does change colours etc. Go to mobile phone shop, take both and put side by side.
That's funny, I've owned every iPhone iteration except for this latest (4S) and I currently own a Galaxy S II. I took my S II to my friend, who imported a Galaxy Nexus, and is replacing his iPhone 4S (doesn't like it). We cranked the brightness to max on all 3 devices, and then to minimum on all 3.
The Galaxy Nexus had, arguably, the best screen of the bunch. We asked multiple people (5 or 6 of our friends were over) and they all agreed. Watching videos and looking at pictures shows a *WORLD* of difference. The screen on the iPhone is brilliant, but compared to the size and resolution of the Galaxy Nexus...you're kidding yourself if you think it's crap.
Disclaimer: The whites *are* more pure white on the iPhone, and the colors are more true to life; however, that's a common difference betwixt SUPERAMOLED screens and the screen in the iPhone. Some people prefer the higher contrast and color saturation in the AMOLED screens...and I'm starting to agree. After owning every iPhone I used to love them, but now I'm blown away every time I turn on my phone because of the way the colors pop.
Your opinion might be that the screen on the iPhone is better...but to say that the screen on the Galaxy Nexus is crap kind of tells me you've either never seen it in the same conditions as the iPhone or you're expressing your opinion through exaggeration.

Yes I have. I owned an iPhone 4 before this phone. I prefer the blacks and colours on the GN - much deeper blacks, much more vivid colours.
Whites/light greys, however, are a different story. On high brightness the GN wins, but anything lower and yes, they're grainy, bandy and greyey. Very poor, but I believe it's a symtom of Pentile displays unfortunately.
Those blacks though. Those blacks!
I know the True HD IPS screen is better than the AMOLED but I didn't think it was that much sharper than the HD Super AMOLED on a borrowed Galaxy Nexus. It's almost like putting on glasses, very crisp detail. I'm guessing when there is a non pentile HD AMOLED the differences may be a lot smaller but against the pentile HD AMOLED the difference is huge. The only thing holding the Optimus LTE back against truly surpassing the Galaxy Nexus in just about every way is the lack of an official ICS rom but then there is always CM9 for those of us who know how to get it on the phone.
Could take some pictures for comparison if anyone is interested
Yup. 3 subpixel elements rendering out light using RGB + a decently wide gamut backlight, rather than educated guesswork (well, subpixel rendering) using only a combination of two subpixels per pixel (and still off color). Also, no uneven black screens. Minor nitpick, but has always annoyed me on all amoled displays (it really shows up a night).

Also keep in mind that the G nexus has a slightly larger screen, therefore lower PPI.
There's no question about it. I also compared the Nexus vs. Nitro side by side, and the text on Nexus' screen is more like my old 3GS, but on Nitro it's much sharper. Oh, did I mention the over-saturated color?
What's funny to me is that the next great android super phone, the Galaxy S3 is STILL going to use a pentile AMOLED screen.

Yeah that is disappointing. Those who say pentile isn't noticeable never used a high density IPS display; I could see what looks like a dithering pattern everywhere coming from the optimus true hd lte. I also don't like how AMOLED has these blotches everywhere when viewing the screen on low brightness.
I refuse to get anything less than our True HD IPS. Coming from an iPhone 4 to the Nitro, me eyes have been looking at retina quality screens for too long to go back to anything less.

That's the difference I'm talking about
Another thing to point out (and maybe it's just me) the last phone I had was an infuse 4g and I noticed a burn in with the status bar, my brother's phone is the same which is a galaxy s. Both of them are amoled. Which I could notice while playing games on them.
Sent from my LG-P930 using XDA
True I've already seen a few AMOLED displays with burn-in visible. I think LCD technology is also prone to some image persistence problems but not nearly as prone as AMOLED
Wow the youtube video really gets the point across. And I was already considering buying a Galaxy S3. I think we may be spoiled by our phones because there is a possibility LG may not continue to do the IPS displays. Also, the processor is a factor as well. I'm still on the fence between a 4X and GS3.
I've yet to experience the burn issues with OLED but I've never peaked out the brigtness settings for a prolonged period either which it strongly states can cause screen burn.. There is a divided group I've come to notice were some don't really get all that excited by the vibrant colors and outright detest the lack of viewabilty in open sunlight. I don't make any qualms against those and their reasons are valid. There are a lot of us however who are passionate about them for their stunning colors that captivate a photographers eye. I suppose it's an each their own issue but for anyone who is new with AMOLED, any prolonged brightness at the maxed settings on a fixed screen inevitably causes burn. I've personally never had any issues.
Biggest downside for me on p930 is the touch sensitivity. It's definitely noticeable compared to the skyrocket. It's especially pronounced on the screen edges. Otherwise, the form factor is better (thinner, textured back), the screen has a great feature where the glass curves over the edges of the bezel. Could be the reason the edges are less sensitive? I also prefer the three capacitive buttons vs. four. And as mentioned display quality is great: ppi, benefits of it's lcd vs amoled, etc. Show someone the videos included with the stock gingerbread wrong. It amazing.
Samsung said they are including the pentile again, because it lasts longer then the HD amoled display. Something else to consider.

Basically, it's Samsung admitting burn in IS an issue, even within the 2 year confines of many phone contracts (though some in Canada get 3 years!?).
In Canada you basically have to go 3 year contract or the subsidy isn't worth it and you might as well buy the phone outright

I think it's more likely that they can't make a profit if they included Super Amoled Hd + displays.
Thank you for your new reel
I returned my Galaxy nexus and bought a LG Nitro HD. The screen on the Nexus had way too many flaws to pass for a high end phone. The yellow tint, and the ghosting were unacceptable to me.
