CM9 is not touching my phone mate :). Last thing I want is nightly flashes. And its a thread about screens and in your own words HTC has the better...

I do like the GS3. Just not as much.
[HTC One X] Meltus:
You should flash it, even just for a day, so you can see what the One X can do when it's stripped down! :D

I do like the true blacks of the samoled, but apart from that, the One X's screen is better!
[HTC One X] glukosio:
i had super amoled (sgs1) for almost 2 years, and i loved that screen: black are black and green is green, white is blue, but it isn't a problem... the problem was chromatic gamma, i had screen like a 8bit videogame :D

when i decided to change, i was suspicious about slcd: my friend has sensation and had htc desire hd, and colors weren't beautiful.

but slcd2 of HOX is very good! it's better screen i've ever seen, and i think it's better than samoled hd!
[HTC One X] josephnero:
after SG2 iam done with AMOLED
[HTC One X] ryanjsoo:
what is the proble here about gsiii vs one x, the screen is like half the phone these days its not like it used to be where the most cutting edge nokia phones had 1inch screens. the one x screen is better without a doubt, the contrast is more natural and the brightness is almost twice that of the gsii`s screen. even if the gsiii is more powerful, the screen it ussually the only part of the phone you interact with anyways. its a matter of preference but i`ve gone with the one x and i don`t regret it.(p.s. my father has a gsiii so i know how i handles)
[HTC One X] Havoc2k:
i love my hox screen too. compared to my business phone (sgs1) it is better in every single way.

i like the "natural" colors, the black is good to, sure not as well as the amoled, gut good. white is brilliant. i would die for a computer screen like my hox. the amoled screen is almonst non readable if you are outside in the sun, the hox screens is still very good to read.

if my repaired hox comes today i will gibe miuiu or cm9 a change. i like sense, but is slow and buggy (like livewp are still not fixed after now 2 months...)

greetings
[HTC One X] xchasa:
I agree. If I was ever watching a clip outside on either gs1 or gs2 I'd have to cup my hand around the screen to see anything. On the HOX I sometimes forget I'm even outside.
[HTC One X] AJerman:
I'd take an SAMOLED over an SLCD any day, however, that does not include a Pentile SAMOLED like the SAMOLED HD. When they come out with an SAMOLED+ HD, I'd far prefer it over the SLCD2, however, being that the SAMOLED HD is Pentile, I'll take the SLCD2 without a question.
[HTC One X] dani_nec:
my opinion

I have had a desire, a desire HD, and now an Onex. I had always preferred the AMOLED screen, but since I have that I have the OneX I prefer the LCD2 .. but if it evolves, AMOLED be better :o
[HTC One X] jetsetwilly:
Another Note and HOX owner here...and thought I'd add my one cent, not just about the screens but the phones in general.

I bought the Note thinking it might replace my galaxy tab and the HOX but having used it solely for the last week, I've decided it's the Note that must pack its bags. For me it's hard to choose one screen over the other...the HOX screen is beautiful to look at, crisp and deep looking thanks to the way the glass curves, whereas the Note's screen is lovely and big and that bit easier for typing on and browsing but it's boon is also it's achilles heel, it's just a bit too big. Sure it has a replaceable battery and room for expansion but it already feels a bit old fashioned because of its size and the style of it.

Screen technology aside, for me the HOX has the edge but it's different strokes for different folks.
[HTC One X] thegregulator:
I had the One X before I bought the Galaxy S3. I really miss the screen of the One X. Icons looked like they were floating on the screen and the clarity was fantastic. That said, SLCD2 seems to be much harder on the battery than Super Amoled HD. I am getting over 5h30m screen time regularly with the S3, and that's with 15 hours off the charger. If the One X could do that for me I wouldn't have considered selling it.
[HTC One X] fallenwout:
Owned a HOX and currently have an SIII because of the repeatedly hardware failures on differents hoxes.

That said, the screen on the HOX looks A LOT better. Thread closed ;-)

HOX's screen lags compared to SIII. So if you have "high fps" eyes, you'll be bugged by the stuttering on the HOX but is the sharpest you can get.

SIII doesn't stutter AT ALL (finally an android with iphone like scrolling). Much more fluent than the HOX. But the pixels aren't dense enough. So if you have "high resolution" eyes, you'll be bugged by the pixel gaps.

Unfortunatly I have both type of eyes...

If the SIII had super amoled +, there would be no talking about the HOX. HTC can thank samsung by not bankrupting them by not using super amoled +.

Granted, sense looks better than touchwiz. Looks can be get used to, but stuttering will always be bothering you, there is no climatizing to that.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Not closed, but this thread belongs in general section of XDA to my opinion as it's about different types of screens.

I've asked the mods to move the thread.
[HTC One X] aslan93:
I am in a similar position and switched to sgs 3 because it's mostly a lot better than hox even though not on paper.

However I have to disagree with you on some points.

First of all my HTC never had any lags scrolling at all. It was very fast and stable. The screen blew me away at first sight and I bought it. The phone is amazing and on paper is the best phone you can get however there are a lot of little things that pissed me off(mostly build quality wise) which I never had in any of my samsungs. So I bought the sgs 3.

Another thing and the main for this thread is the screen. I have amazing eyesight. And I can see pixels in any phone. Yes the hox screen has an amazing pixel density. But the galaxy s 3 doesn't show pentile as bad as previous phones. Really from normal distance it's impossible to notice. The colours stand out more (like any ambled vs lcd ) and the screen does not look worse than hox. Camera is better, music is better and of course battery life where sgs3 destroys hox if anyone wants to choose between buying the two I'd recommend checking out the blue sgs3 it's that amazing and you won't find any little issues like with HTC
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
All phones have issues I know the HTC problems seem to have affected quite a few but generally that goes for any product to be honest. My SGS3 is fine but then I dislike the tinting issues that are apparent with AMOLED screens and the overly saturated colours. Prefer the more natural colours on the HOX. B

But saying that both screens are good and fit for purpose. If I hadn't seen the hox screen I'd be happy with the sgs3 screen.
[HTC One X] fallenwout:
I had a few of them and they all were like 10 fps browsing to menus

I can seperate the pixels on the SIII, not in a full collored plain, but I can around the edges of text.

I even want to add something. Anyone know the optical illusion test when you see at a rotating spiral for a minute and look back at real life you keep seeing the rotations for a while. I have that with the screen of the SIII, when looking at it for a while and then see to real objects, the grid of the pixels are "burnt" in my eyesight for a few secs. Weird stuff :)
[HTC One X] BirthdayDog11:
I had an S-LCD for a while and it was horrible. You could barely see anything, even inside, and outside I had to turn brightness way up to see anything. My reflection on the screen was almost as clear as the thing the screen showed me. AMOLED worked way better for me.
[HTC One X] Fightspit:
Since a long time ago, all cheap ****ty SLCD have been always bad display.

It is not the case with the HOX which still the only one which has the trully 720p SCLD2. This is far superior than the Sammy S3's fake 720p unrealistic color Amoled display.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Here's what someone who evaluates displays proffessionaly thinks. And without any bias.

[HTC One X] BirthdayDog11:
I'm glad to hear that SLCD2 better than SLCD. Can you tell me whether the One X is very mirrory, i.e. is your reflection strong enough to be distracting?
[HTC One X] stringy2010:
These days with phones being more all round media devices, I can't see the allure of super AMOLED at the moment and prefer the SLCD on the HOX.

My reason for this is, if I was just using the phone as a phone, I wouldn't be that bothered about how a screen displays colours.

However because I use my phone for viewing photos, watching videos and the like, being able able to display truer colours than AMOLED is important to me.

At the end of the day, nobody has their tv setup to show colours as vividly as possible, AMOLED style do they. So why have your phone display do the same thing.

Yes there is fans of both, and some people do prefer the overly vivid look, but its not for me I'm afraid.

The display on the HOX is the best display I've seen on any portable device, phone or otherwise.
[HTC One X] Try4Ce:
I recently had a SGS3 in my hands to compare it to my SLCD2 HOX - Side by Side.

I am not a biased person. I had numerous Android Devices from different brands. The one I had before the HOX was the Galaxy S2, which I really really loved, even tho my device had a pretty bad blue tinted screen.

The Galaxy S3 screen is a major step forward compared to the SGS2 screen. Colors seem alot more natural and the brightness was better as well.

On average use, you couldn't really notice the PenTile Matrix, but on a closer look, text really looked slightly washed out, as well as fine lines in Google Maps. But I am a picky person when it comes to screen quality. So I noticed that stuff right away.

Anyways, both screens are great. I couldnt find a "no-go" criteria for the SGS3 for me. I would've bought it, even if the screen is not as good as the HOX's screen. It still feels great, high quality colors and contrast. Alot of issues found on the SGS2 screen are gone. You cant do anything wrong with both Phones IMO.

And: Agreed, the SGS3 feels smoother, but thats not because of the hardware, its because of Sense UI. If you are running AOKP / AOSP on the One X, you really know what smoothness is like.
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

The trouble with AMOLED displays is the colour balance will change over a relatively short period of time as blue pixels wear out a lot quicker than any of the others, and at different brightnesses the colour balance shifts again. Because of the shifting colour balance with AMOLED there is little reason for the manufacturer to try and ensure the display is true to life, as it will not stay that way for very long so is just not be worth the hassle, also it would give rise to complaints of "well it was perfect when I got it a few months ago, but now isn't right...", so by going for a display that doesn't try and pretend to be true to life but more over saturated and artificial looking, they manage the customers expectations that way.

Regards

Phil
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Another thing is screen burn, both my previous AMOLED displays suffered from this, my SGS has some burn, my SGS2 had burn 10 months into its life and was caused by the status bar, we'll see how the SGS3 fairs in this regard. My sisters SGS2 had noticeable vertical lines in the middle of her screen but she was too lazy to get it repaired. Will also see how her display pans out on her HTC One S which also houses an AMOLED display within the next few months.

I had 2 SGS3s for testing purposes and both of them had a blue tint, it's bit of a lottery trying to get a perfect one but when you have a flawless one they are good screens oh mine also suffered the horrible black crushing very noticeable when you put the HOX and SGS3 side by side displaying the same images and comparing it with an IPS monitor displaying the same images the HOX was more truer to the original image.

[HTC One X] Garoto1973:
My previous phones were Samsung Captivate (SGS), I-9100 Galaxy SII and now HOX-Tegra version. Also I have used the SGSIII extensively.

My relationship with the HOX has been Love-HATE-Love.

Initially I was pumped up with all the hype regarding the HOX screen and I bought one through Amazon without seeing it in person first. I was expecting an out of this world screen based on all the reviews.

Initially when I compared the Galaxy S2 and the HOX my first impression was a downer sensation. SGS2 colors looked great and blacks amazing, HOX seemed washed out and boring. But then I fired up ebay and Facebook and boy I did see the difference, whites on the SGS2 looked like crap.

After a few days my eyes adjusted regarding the blacks I guess and now I just cant take my eyes from the HOX!!!!! I noticed that blacks look fine (Kindle app with black background and white text looks amazing). What I found is that many apps that show a "true black" in the SGS2 change the background to a boring gray gradient in the HOX. Not sure why is that. When color black is rendered it looks fine.

I compared with SGS3 and indeed the HOX screen looks better (except for blacks). However, overall I think SGS3 might be a better phone overall (albeit not by much).

On other things, these are the other fixes I did on my HOX :

1. Battery life: fixed greatly with the 2.05 kernel release. Now I easily get up to 24-48 hrs usage with 3-4 hrs screen on time . On videos I am getting 6-7 hrs playback. Before the update it was crappy, I'd barely get 12-15 hrs with 1.5-2 hrs screen on time.

2. UI lag: Yes, I saw the Sense lag specially when turning homescreens. I tried UltraSmooth Rosie mod but nothing. I installed Apex Launcher and now this thing flies!!!!

3. Rom: Installed VenomX Rom (ICS 4.0.4). Its amazing, fast, for those who care I get 4500-5000 Quadrant scores.

4. Crappy wifi: yes, I was unfortunate to be one suffering from HTCs design fail (wifi contacts). I opened my HOX and just moved the contacts upwards a little bit and now I have great wifi (better than on my SGS2). Had to do it as I voided my warranty.

Would I recommend the HOX to anybody? No, if its someone allergic to technology I would still recommend the iphone. I still think Android is a great platform if you are not afraid of minimal to advanced tweaks and customizations to unleash the hidden power crippled by the manufacturers/carriers.
[HTC One X] Staceymobiler:
Must admit.... Sold my HOX. getting an s3 soon. Couldn't come soon enough!

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
Love my SGS3, best phone to date but I prefer the HOX screen mainly cause it has excellent outdoor visibility but with the S3, I have to have max brightness on to be able to see something in direct sunlight.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
guys we still dont know if its going to be pentile, if its super amoled HD plus than it its not pentile, SGSII is not pentile either, the pixel density is 1:1

however like i said i noticed bad color gradations in SGSII
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
Yes. Sg2 is a good phone but the screen is horrible for my eyes..
[HTC One X] Tinderbox (UK):
I had four SGS2 and returned them all, black maybe be really back, but whites are not white, some yellow, or a bit green, every screen is slightly different, and don't get me started on image burn-in.

[HTC One X] josephnero:
i always liked Sony reality display more than amoled but maybe its just me
[HTC One X] jameslfc5:
Same with my galaxy nexus mate, returned 3, every amoled is a dud and this S2 was returned 3 times too, until I got one that is "decent"

Thought I would only ever want AMOLED again, but I'm really looking forward to SLCD 2
[HTC One X] liquidhaste:
Thats what people that have lcds say when they compare their phone to their friends.
[HTC One X] Noneus:
The One S will have a pentile screen. SLCD2 is IPS. The yust ca't use the IPS term for legal reasons.

http://bestboyz.de/htc-one-x-und-lg-optimus-4x-hd-haben-das-gleiche-ips-display/
[HTC One X] :
^^ I think the X will have a PLS-type display. It's similar to IPS. Samsung uses PLS display in most of their devices (ignoring devices with AMOLED).
[HTC One X] zetsumeikuro:
Both display types have their pros and cons.. Honestly it just comes down to your personal preference. The Galaxy Nexus screen looks fine, the pixel density is too high to make you care about the minor pixelation. My main annoyance is shifting the phone around during prolonged usage, prevent LED exhaustion or as people call it "burn in". Yeah the colors aren't natural, but you gotta admit.. It makes some images/videos look amazing compared to SLCD 1/2.
[HTC One X] hungcolin:
Have you ever see SLCD2 , and which phone you compare to?
[HTC One X] MartijnMM:
Its funny, i hear alot of people say:

Those are the worst screens i ever had on a phone, since my hd2.

So its highly subjective, for me the LDC2 wins on all points,

except for the really true blacks on an amoled screen.
[HTC One X] robt772000:
Who manufactures the one X screen? Isn't it Samsung?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
exactly so it doesnt matter!!! who made it

if you like super amoled go with the galaxy series

if you SLCD and htc own stuff go with One X

and even if made by sammy its still done to the requirements and customization of HTC

this is a subjective matter and no winner here

half of us like AMOLED and the other half cant stand it

R u kidding comparing hd2 with awesome screens .... Hd2 screen sux in comparison to galaxy nexus and note

Slcd ips is In a class of its own don't compare to hd2

any comparison pic?
[HTC One X] jameslfc5:
I watched the HTC one announcement video on YouTube and I started it at exactly the same time on both my transformer prime and S2 and it is surprising how ugly the AMOLED makes things so I am definitely looking forward to the one x SLCD 2
[HTC One X] MartijnMM:
Thats YOUR opinion, i had a Galaxy note, got 2 screen replacements

till i gave up and sold it, back to my HD2, much better.
[HTC One X] dexteral:
my friend had an HD2 and recently upgraded to Desire S.

I upgraded from desire to desire hd (Same screen as HD2) to evo 3d.

We both agree that hd2 screen viewing angle are pathetic ....

HTC one x is using SLCD2 (IPS) which i am really looking forward to when i buy it when it comes to my country :D

also my brother has bought gs2 and galaxy nexus --- amoled gets hot, black blotches appear when viewing black at min brightness --- however to a regular user comparing my evo3d vs galaxy nexus --- nexus would win -- my opinion
[HTC One X] android_master:
What are you saying dude?:confused:

What using a chinese note or what. HD 2 looks like a complete/pathetic downright crap in screen comparison to S2 or Note.:mad:

How can you even make comments like this:mad:
[HTC One X] lukesky:
Ok stop arguing which is better. Here's a pic taken off another forum and it's at max brightness for both phones (Nexus is on top) and using the same pic so it's a proper comparison.

SLCD is definitely better. Enough said.

http://postimage.org/image/t4i7upsu5/
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
This will be a great screen to look at and use, I really don't see the need to beat comparisons to death with it. It seems to be at a point where it's going to be completely user preference based, not a case of technical flaws/pluses when comparing as the screen itself is superbly built and presented from the previews.
[HTC One X] MartijnMM:
Pretty simple, on my note, videos were unwatchable, on my HD2 they are okay.

I'm not the only one, its just that most people have lower standards.

Right, that's why Samsung never uses SLCD on their Galaxy S-series. Galaxy SL, Galaxy R came with SLCD and was lower priced than AMOLED version. I thought Samsung knew more about their own displays than anyone of us in the forums [considering Samsung manufactures both display]
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
I've just noticed last few days I've got screen burn on my SGS2 which I've owned since May. Just under the notification bar a faint line going across. Very visible when viewing in the browser or watching videos.

Hoping SLCD2 isn't as prone to AMOLED in screen burn issues which is quite common.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Amoled was certainly better than SLCD

However, the HTC ONE X has an SLCD2 display & when compared to the galaxy nexus Amoled HD display with the same resolution, the SLCD2 is very much superior.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
LCD do not get screen burns
[HTC One X] NewForce:
Totally disagreed!

Super AMOLED HD was way better than any IPS, AH-IPS aka S-LCD2 screens.

Who need a One-X? One-S performed better much of the time.

HTC really shoot themself in the foot this time.
