Here ya go:

Better then the one in Touch HD plus any other TFT display I've seen so far. And yes, seen quite many. :P]]>Feb 7th 2010 5:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/
I HATE glossy displays with a passion. But it's much less of a problem on a cell phone. It's easier to position it away from the light. On any device with a display larger than 4.3" it should always be matte, in my opinion.]]>Feb 7th 2010 5:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/Feb 7th 2010 5:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/
When I got the phone, it was to evaluate it for long term viability, and I can assure you I was looking at anything rumored to be weak about it.I just don't see this as an issue.

Now if you want to bring up the weird reflective ghosting the screen can get wen viewed at an angle in the dark, well then I would have to agree, there is an issue. You see the OLED layer, is transparent, and is set about a mm or so in front of a solid black background. The material they used as a background is reflective, so when you hold it at an angle it looks as though the images are floating a mm or so above the background and you can see a clear reflection of any bright parts on the background. Not too obnoxious, as I tend to view my phone head on but I sure as hell hope that this doesn't become a pervasive issue for screens that might be used as TVs. That would make them damn near unwatchable at a less than stellar viewing angle.]]>Feb 7th 2010 6:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/

Even Paul Thurrott has stated the Zune OLED sucks in the sun.

Conversely the iPhone/iPod touch has a light sensor that will dim, etc according to how much sunlight is reflected.]]>Feb 7th 2010 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/
Lest not forget that Apple also mad and OLED version of the Ipad. I don't think everyone here will sit in the sunlight to use there device. Lets face it. Unless your a construction worker, Lawn care, Farmer, etc. How many of you here spend more that 2hr in direct sunlight; And how many of your drives with your convertible top down all the time and the sun roof open all the time?

The point of this is the educate on the display. The Nexus One is not the only device with that type of display on the market.]]>Feb 7th 2010 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/Feb 7th 2010 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/Feb 7th 2010 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/

Since I have used both LCD and AMOLED screens outside in direct sunlight, I can tell you that neither are particularly usable. AMOLED may be a bit worse, but it is not like the iPod Touch or other LCD screens are all that great either. Basically, if you are using any type of player or phone in direct sunlight, you will need to cover it to read it properly.]]>Feb 7th 2010 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/Lots of folks seems to have forgotten that LCD screens used to be great in sunlight until recently. For example, the Sony CLIE N610c had a reflective LCD and it got better looking the more light you shone on it, esp sunlight.

The iPhone* currently does have the best sunlight viewablity due to this reflectivity. All the other LCD versions that try to maximize the pixel's brightness (transmissive, etc) instead of taking advantage of the fact we live in a lighted world with plenty of free-light to reflect is pretty silly.

Stop gimping TFT and how it was meant to work.]]>Feb 7th 2010 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/Feb 7th 2010 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/nexus-one-video-series-part-two-google-schools-us-on-oled-disp/The trackball is useful where analogue input is strictly necessary, such as in the recovery menu where the touchscreen is not activated.
