[Desire General] manny calavera:
One thing I love about the OLED tech is the gorgeous perfect blacks. Current LCD technology by its nature can not top that.

On the other hand sunlight visibility is probably a more important issue :)

I wouldn't worry about color saturation fidelity : I think it is a non-issue, (as long as it's not awful) it's mainly a matter of preference on a handset (nobody will be doing color correction and/or color grading on a display smaller than 24" :D ).

The reason for the switch is rumored to be a shortage of AMOLED screens anyway.

When you switch from AMOLED to SLCD you lose the perfect blacks but possibly gain better sunlight visibility, and maybe gain/lose a bit more natural/muted colors.
[Desire General] Sebacestmoi:
Does someone know if they are going to correct the multitouch bug with this new screen?
[Desire General] neoKushan:
If you read the PR blurb, it reads very much like HTC trying to convince people that the SLCD is "as good" as AMOLD rather than "better". If there was a genuine advantage, HTC would use this as a chance to sing its praises, so I suspect that the SLCD screen will likely be slightly inferior to our current AMOLD screens.

For anyone thinking of replacing their current desire with this new one, I'd advise waiting until someone properly reviews and tests the screen.
[Desire General] stats101:
Nope. It was more HTC saying that they're very similar. They couldn't tout that one was better than the other due to commercial implications (e.g. old desire owners would be unhappy etc.). They couldn't say they were equal as they're different technologies. 'Comparible' keeps it PC and implies gains and losses, but overall similar.
[Desire General] artukas613:
There is an comparison

No text sharpness test:(

:)
[Desire General] olly2009:
Agree with manni calavera, to my opinion the trade is going to be between the perfect black/vivid colours of amoled vs the better sunlight legibility of the SLCD. I don't expect a drastic change of the battery performance, only a few % up our down.
[Desire General] th3:
This just looks like spin to make SLCDs appear technically as good when they are not. They'll have higher reflectance, max luminance and lower max white power but they can't outclass AMOLED in anything other. The colour reproduction will be dependent on MFG calibration/software.

1. Some other reports on the topic:

http://www.pcworld.com/article/201883/shortages_prompt_htc_to_swap_display_technologies.html

http://www.fudzilla.com/mobiles/mobiles/htc-dumps-amoled

http://wmpoweruser.com/htc-confirms-slcd-rumours-claims-its-better-than-amoled/?mobify=0

Heh.

This was the original press release by HTC:

2. See the technology advantages?

http://data.4dsystems.com.au/downloads/micro-OLED/Docs/4D_AMOLED_Presentation.pdf

http://www.datamodul.com/us/page/popup_pages/OLED/CMEL OLED power consumption and lifetime.pdf

Except for a full white screen or full blue, at max brightness, I highly doubt they are going to get anywhere near that low power with an LCD in the typical application with various colours or on your homescreens. Definitely not when playing a movie, a game or so on.

3. AMOLED is far more costly to manufacture and more costly to buy than LCD tech. Every major smartphone MFG (except Apple/Blackberry AFAIK) wouldn't have jumped on the bandwagon if there weren't significant benefits to the technology over the older LCD tech as it was costing them more and introducing major delays to their roadmaps with the tight supply.

4. Samsung is the no.1 LCD/Tv/AMOLED maker in the world. At a very recent engineering conference, yet again, the paper they presented is eulogising AMOLED displays everywhere:

http://www.eetimes.com/electronics-...ec-anoints-AMOLED-displays-as-next-big-thing-

http://i.cmpnet.com/eetimes/51-1.pdf

5. Display tests done on Droid/Nexus One/iPhone 3GS screens revealed their combined power consumption somewhat.

http://www.displaymate.com/Motorola_Droid_ShootOut.htm

http://www.displaymate.com/Nexus_One_ShootOut.htm

http://www.displaymate.com/Nexus_iPhone_ShootOut.htm

The Droid had the best LCD display accuracy by far but compare the max RGB sub-pixel power draws... AMOLED is at least half if not lower. Those were "synthetic" tests. Had they ran a movie or displayed an image and measured power, you'd see the AMOLED at least 1/2 if not 1/3 to 1/4 of the power (unless it was full white or blue - no pun). "SLCD" isn't that much of an improvement to outclass those LCDs by 1.5x in power, let alone 5x.

6. Sonys VSPEC III LCD specs are here, and they're nothing special except the much improved viewing angle:

i personally think AMOLED is poor, text look really had when they are not zoomed in. you can see each dots when you look at a website text or picture. Fine example would be the home screen. The icons look dotty like old skool dot matrix printer.

I'm comparing this to a Good LCD found in nokia n900 and iphone 4

[Nexus One General] orsye:
do you think it'll make any difference??? would it be better or worse? should we change our N1s soon :)

http://mashable.com/2010/07/26/htc-super-lcd/

HTC officially announced it will be swapping AMOLED with Super LCD (SLCD) displays in several of its phones later this summer, including the Desire and Nexus One.

The reason, according to HTC, is high demand for phones with 3.7 inch displays, and low availability of AMOLED screens.

Whether AMOLED screens are better than LCD screens is debatable, but buyers of these SLCD-equipped versions of HTC smartphones get an added benefit: better batery life. “The SLCD displays provide consumers with a comparable visual experience to HTC’s current 3.7 inch displays with some additional benefits including battery performance,” said HTC CEO Peter Chou.

This sheds light onto Apple’s reasoning for choosing LCD technology for its iPhone 4. When Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone 4, he said its LCD retina display is “quite a bit better than OLED displays.” It’s quite possible, however, that Apple went with LCD technology because it estimated that AMOLEDs will be in short supply.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinkade:
just what it says in the title, when i reboot into recovery now, it cant see the contents of my sd card so i cant flash anything.

sd card contents are all there normally, i can browse them with astro.

partitioned sd card using rom manager and that is working fine, though not sure if it is ext 2 or 3, presumably its three.

any help will be much appreciated
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djoni1980:
Are you sure you're not browsing through root of the phone with astro?

Partitioning sd card also means deleting everything on it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinkade:
Hi thanks for replying.

i can browse the sd card through astro as normal, so i can see all the folders etc and the zip files that i want to flash, but when i go into clockwork recovery it says that it cant see the sd card, or that it maybe full (which its not there are 3gigs left)

any thoughts?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinkade:
sorry should also mention that i am familiar with rooting and flashing, had a g1 with cyanogen mod and then changed to the desire in april.

so whilst i'm not a complete noob at this the current problem has got me pretty stumped
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinkade:
why would the recovery be unable to read the fat32 partition if it can be read by astro?

also the ext partition is working fine for apps2sd.

update is i noticed that when i reboot into recovery it can still read the nandroid backups that i made, these are the only things that show up and they are in the folder clockworkmod.

no other folders show, this is very confusing
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinkade:
i didnt upgrade the ext when i partitioned it using rom manager, i just left it as whatever rom manager set it as, would this affect anything?

does rom manager do ext2 or ext3 and would this make any difference?

ok i've flashed amon ra instead as i was more familiar with that from the g1 so should be able to work it all out myself now

I agree with you. For topics that already have somewhere to get the information, mods should post a quick link, say search, give 'em a light slap on the wrists the first time, and lock the thread.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Stoferr:
Well, the best way, would be to make another subforum, because, obviously, this entire Android forum is going to be HUGE! Soon it will be full of differents ROMs, FAQs, Random questions, and people's own threads about their experiences.

So I agree, if we don't do anything soon, this forum is going to end up in a huge mess.

Either some admins are appointed, to cleanup and simply REMOVE all the spam threads, or else there's a need for even more sub forums, one to ROM releases, one for questions and answers, and one for general discussion etc etc.

THats just my opinion.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cavemaneca:
For now, it would probably be best to just have mods clean it up better, maybe a dedicated mod or two. With only 2 cooks right now for HD2 android, and only 2-3 cooks with light Winmo+android roms, kinda don't need their own forum as of yet.

Really, it just needs to be cleaned up. And personally I think there are too few threads per page, but that's just me. I'm the kinda person who doesn't check page 2.
