Wait, the one by Acer is considered the bad one? I looked through the pictures in the Picasa album before checking my screen so I couldn't make any biased judgement, and the one on the left looked better, which according to the OP, is the one manufactured by Acer. IMO colors looked deeper and richer on that one.

Just so happens, I have the one from Acer, the one I consider to be the better looking one (thank God). Which one do you all consider bad? o.O
[HTC Sensation] vinamilk:
IMO AUO screen is better than Sharp. Mine is from AUO.
[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
I've got the AUO one, but since I orderd a new screen (this one has a dead pixel) I may get the Sharp.

I don't know if the Acer owners got the same problem as I got, but my screen has some serious ghosting issues. Sometimes a trail of about half a centimeter appears behind objects on the screen.

Just look at the third and the last picture. The Sharp panel may not have as rich colours as the Acer, they are more natural like. The Acer panel turns a bit pink at white parts, and the blue colours are baaad.
[HTC Sensation] alexs1mmo:
I had a sensation xe with an auo screen.

The screen is perfect until I move text or scroll through settings and app draw. I get horrendous ghosting and really cannot bear it anymore! I had the phone for 3 days and came from a HTC desire which had a lovely screen! Returned and waiting for a galaxy nexus which hopefully will be much better.
[HTC Sensation] liamstears:
The Sharp has much more realistic and natural colors compared to the acer, acer is too "rich" and just doesn't look right as well as the ghosting etc

Go Sharp! lol
[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
But... That's exactly what I said.
[HTC Sensation] liamstears:
Just agreeing with you buddy
[HTC Sensation] TP-Power:
After returning the phone 3 times to deal with my screen problem. (Terrible ghosting + way to vivid colors etc) I gave up.. They simply won't admit that there are 2 different types of screens in our devices. When I bought this device I had an Sharp screen. they exchanged in total 6 times my screen and all of them were Acer's. HTC has let me down, BIG TIME.. I guess I will look to buy another phone in the near future and guess what. It probably won't be an HTC, certainly if you look at the new line up.

Way to go HTC! Keep up this ****ty quality!

[HTC Sensation] espchris91:
Actually, I'm pretty sure that has something to do with the glue that bonds the screen to the touch sensitive part. Or something like that.

I just remember reading something about some iPhone users experiencing yellowing that faded, and they figured out it was the glue, as it dried.

BTW, I have the AUO screen, and I love it. Yes, you can sortof see the pixels refreshing, but I think that's cool. It livens up the experience a bit. Also, I'd say my viewing angles are great, colors are incredibly eye-popping (looks better than any AMOLED IMHO), and almost sorta look metallic. It's like the pixels have depth to them. Also looks pretty sharp, but qHD on a 4.3" is almost non-visible (though, I can see the Retina display's pixels too, so..). Made in Taiwan, but I don't know the date because I bought it used with no box. (p.s., running OrDroid 1.8.4)
[HTC Sensation] Rockologist:
AUO panel here.

Good viewing angles in terms of contrast, slight colour distortion when viewing from the sides but nothing to complain about.

Contrast is good, slightly annoying back light bleed at full brightness, but it’s so bright I never use full brightness.

Brightness is very good. I barely ever go over 50% brightness, and it dims very well for low light viewing. Daylight readability is adequate.

White point and colour accuracy are excellent through the brightness range when compared directly to my fully calibrated, full RGB desktop monitor, much better than S-AMOLED-+ screens I’ve seen.

As for dot pitch, there are horizontal lines visible if I look for them, but in actual usage it’s a complete nonissue.

Slight ghosting but again only if you look for it, in actual usage it’s a nonissue, I don’t read text while scrolling and as for watching video or gaming it has no impact on the visuals.

All in all an excellent screen, slightly lower contrast than a SAMOLED, but way better colour accuracy thought the brightness range than the likes of the Galaxy SII, a much better DPI as well and last but defiantly not least RGB is just better than pentile in every way. This is one of the main reasons I chose the Sensation over the SGII. This isn’t to say I’d give up some more contrast if somebody could magic some more onto my Sensation but I’ll take colour accuracy and pixel density over contrast.
[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
I recently had to make an insurance claim on my old sensation that I dropped (corner of the screen cracked, camera lens cracked), and it had the AUO screen, and the refurb sent to me has the Sharp. I read this thread (not the entire thread, but enough), and compared my screens and took some pictures, which I'll post if anyone's interested, although I'm pretty sure this has been discussed to death.

My findings are that the acer screen has better viewing angles (slight red/pink hue on white screens from side angles, but not too bad) and better whites. The Sharp screen gets a noticeable yellow tint as you tilt it. I did notice the "scan line" effect on the acer screen upon close examination. The Sharp screen however, has superb color. The whites may not be quite as white, but the overall color saturation is a lot better. I use the live wallpaper named bubbles on my ICS rom, and comparing the wallpapers side by side, you could see color lines on the Acer screen (where the shades of blue change) whereas on the Sharp screen it was nearly a perfect smooth fade. When comparing pictures, the Sharp screen tended to do better in saturation and rarely had as bad of a color shade line effect as the Acer. When I looked at the two side by side, it seriously looked like the difference between a 24 bit screen and a 32 bit screen. The sharp also does not have the scan line effect.

Overall, both screens are great, and even though the Acer has better whites and viewing angles, for overall daily use, I find the Sharp to be more satisfactory, as when you're not comparing side by side, white accuracy isn't really that noticeable, and I'm never looking at my phone from an angle, so neither is angle washout. Color is the biggest factor for me, and the Sharp seems to win almost every time in that category.

[HTC Sensation] undercover:

[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
DAMN! I had to get a few more replacements due to a bright spot forming in the middle of my sharp screens, and my luck finally ran out. I began getting AUO screen phones. I called t-mobile and they knew nothing about the phone having two different screens, so I simply complained about ghosting and color banding (characteristic of a water-damaged screen) and they've sent me four replacements in a week all with auo screens. I think they've permanently switched to AUO screens and Sharps were only used in the first 6 months of manufacturing or so. The AUO has more vibrant color I think actually, and better viewing angles like I previously stated, but holy god the scan line effect and color band effect piss me off to no end. It looks like I'm using a 16 bit screen, not a proper 32 bit one. I shouldn't be able to see gradient lines, it should be totally smooth. The text is also not as sharp, due to terrible pixel placement, and the ghosting is also super annoying, but I've reached the multiple exchange program level at this point and it's either a nokia lumia or pay the upgrade price for a HTC One S, which has the dumb pentile subpixel samoled screen with the horrid screen door effect. Whoever thought pentile was a good idea is out of their minds. Pixels were not meant to share subpixels, period. Then again, my eyes are so particular that I can see the pentile screen door effect and pixelation effect even on my mom's Galaxy SIII with a 720p display. So maybe I just need to grow a pair and deal with it.

Sorry, rant there.

Looks like a film is under the digitizer but there's no film :(

Took these pics to show the seller so he can send me a replacement. Unfortunately he's in China & doesn't carry Sharp :( :(

I'm hoping the replacement AUO from the seller looks much better than this....oh yeah the screen shows ghost images too :( :( :(

[HTC Sensation] mikelspikel:
I know this thread is quite old, but I believe I found something interesting that I cannot find in previuos posts.

I recently got a second Sensation with a cracked but working digitizer from a colleague and I immediatly noticed the LCD was different to mine. Mine has the AUO display and the other one the SHARP. Color difference and the smoother scrolls are clearly noticeable in the Sharp LCD.

As I liked best how the Sharp looks, I tried to interchange LCDs, keeping the PCB and digitizer of my original phone but using the new LCD. The suprising result is, with this combination of parts, the phone looks like a Sharp one (cold color temperature) but feels like an AUO one (motion blur while scrolling).

I tested all possible combinations of this tree components (PCB, LCD, and digitizer) and I can conclude the reason for the tearing and the motion blur while scrolling is not the LCD but the digitizer! Any combination of components which has the digitizer initially installed with AUO display has the motion blur and tearing, despite of which LCD or mainboard I use. In fact I have now a Sharp with tearing and a smooth AUO. It feels like the sample rate of AUO digitizer is lower or something like that. I don't know if somethig about this could be tweaked in the kernel.

lcd for sensation

Hello.

I've just got my Sensation lcd broken.

Looking for a new one (all the frame, lcd+touch screen) I've found two different models that should be ok for my phone.

They both have code 74H02067 but in one that code is followed by 00M (and date 2011.06.28-Z) while in the the other by 02M (and date 2012.04.02-Z).

Do you know if they're both compatible with my phone or if one it's better then the other?

Thanks.

I think my screen is awesome but the battery life has been horrendous! 8 hours to the charge if I'm lucky, with moderate use. I now toggle 4G WCDMA to off unless I really need it, and keep screen brightness under 20%.

Edit: I have noticed that the rounded edges of the app launcher look pixilated.

I use the extended controls widgets from Market and they're really useful thus far.

Can you guys report on your average battery life along with your displays? Also

Whether you toggle 4G off, are	heavy user, or moderate or light.
[HTC Sensation] Spartanjet:
I'd just love to know one thing. People with the Sharp screen, if you go to lets say Settings>Wireless & networks then scroll very slowly does the grayish smaller text under the bolded larger text become almost unreadable while scrolling.

I really like the AUO screen but that is one thing that irks me. I should say the menu doesn't really bother me but the same ghosting/banding happens on web pages with white text and black background which is annoying.
[HTC Sensation] PurpleSkyz:
I think its a physical condition, depending how your eyes perceive things.

Want to see ghosting? try the Nyan Cat game on the app store. Move fast enough and you'll have two cats (hint, one is a ghost :p)
[HTC Sensation] Robertsonland:
I have a sharp screen and when I scroll there the text looks almost like it shrinks vertically from the bottom every so slightly and becomes unreadable and then "expands" again as soon as I stop. Doesn't really bother me as I rarely read while scrolling. I usually wait for it to stop then read. But mine does do that.

[HTC Sensation] jettrue:
Here's an angle (I think the Acer looses by a smidge on the angle wash-out). Then I took a couple more side by sides. I think on the last one, you can really see the line effect on the Acer screen vs. the Sharp.
