My last phone was a Samsung i8910HD which was AMOLED and my current phone is an HTC HD2 which has a LCD TFT. Comparing them side by side indoors the AMOLED had extremely exaggerated colours which makes movies look fantastic and blacks so deep that the screen looked as if it was off in darkness. The LCD TFT on my HD2 has some backlight bleed (very little) and the colours are much duller BUT much more accurate - I think that comes out in the other video on the techblog site.]]>Jun 21st 2010 4:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-in-direct-sunlight-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-in-direct-sunlight-fight/
It won't be any better than the X10's display. We're talking about the same LCD tech here.]]>Jun 21st 2010 4:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-in-direct-sunlight-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-in-direct-sunlight-fight/
Wow! It's going to be interesting when all these new devices come out! iPhone 4 with Retina Display, Super AMOLED, etc. Jeez! There's so much choice! It's a consumer paradise!]]>Jun 21st 2010 4:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-in-direct-sunlight-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-in-direct-sunlight-fight/
It's Google's flagship by definition. Seriously. It's Google's way of saying: "This should be the minimum of what everyone else is doing." It's the device that every other device should be compared to, as a base model. It's built to Google specifications, running Google's software. It's about as close to an iPhone-like existence as possible.]]>Jun 21st 2010 4:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-in-direct-sunlight-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-in-direct-sunlight-fight/
Please Engadget, make a real comparison, where you give ranks to phones, ending with the one you like the most !]]>Jun 21st 2010 4:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-in-direct-sunlight-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-in-direct-sunlight-fight/
I wouldn't say he's on his high horse. The N1 would come out unfavourably in these tests because it is shocking in direct sunlight.]]>Jun 21st 2010 4:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-in-direct-sunlight-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-in-direct-sunlight-fight/

Does anyone notice that if you use your Apple handheld device on a slight angle even in the brightest light conditions, its like viewing off a sparkly paper? Everything is so clear.. I wonder why Engadget or anyone never points this out..

Even if the brightness is set to lowest, you can see and use the device perfectly.

The HTC Desire and the Nexus One are basically the same phone. It would be nice to get the iPhone 4 into the mix. Seeing as how the new iPhone isn't widely available yet, I understand its omission.

In fact the smaller screen if the iPhone gives it a huge advantage here.

is this really burning issue tearing a divide in the community? all these years of cupping my hands over the sunlight, i don't think i've ever thought once how backwards the technology is..]]>Jun 21st 2010 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-in-direct-sunlight-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-in-direct-sunlight-fight/
What a silly post. Using auto-gain videocamera to shoot different brightness/contrast screens from varying angle of incedence.

All amateur shooters should learn one thing first before doing comparisons like this :

Human eye != video camera

Only comparing them directly side by side using human vision will tell the results.

The video camera will distort the results, that is guaranteed.

But hey, it's a real video footage, so it must be right, riiiiight?
