Does the Desire HD feature SLCD or LCD diplay?
Thanks for helping.
Best Regards,
Alin
It was assumed to have an SLCD display but now noted to have a standard LCD screen, although with 16M colour reproduction and a more vibrant screen than my old HD2 (side-by-side comparison)

Hello Alin, Merry christmas to you,
LCD is more general the common name for the family. SLCD is a special form of LCD.
And the Desire HD has a SLCD display.

No, Desire HD has standard TFT LCD screen.
Source: newer sources on the internet + my friend has Desire Z which comes with SLCD and the quality is noticeable better, colours are much deeper and picture is really crisp..
Shame they couldn't do it with Desire HD..
However, I must add that despite the fact it's LCD, the picture on DHD is very good anyway, and generally it's the best phone made so far. I really love it.

DHD is SLCD the fact that the screen is bigger while maintaining the 480x800 resolution makes the color reproduction worse than the SLCD Desire and Desire Z.
Screen: 4.3-inch 480×800 at 218 ppi(0.38 Megapixels) WVGA TFT LCD capacitive touchscreen
taken from wikipedia, anyway i looked on desire HD oficial site and it says just WVGA Screen, i think if it would have a SLCD they would write because it can be a marketing thingy...so i`m 99% that is normal LCD not SLCD, i guess best way is to email htc support and ask
It is LCD on every Deside "HD" sold worldwide
In Denmark HTC has confirmed that it is indeed LCD and not SLCD. And this goes for every Desire HD worldwide.
The biggest mobile operator in DK - TDC - has gone public and is promising every Desire HD customer a complete refund due to have falsely claimed it was SLCD.
(Sorry, cannot link because I am new user and thus are not allowed to have links in my messages yet).
I believe SLCD doesn't say it is better than LCD.
Have a look:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-LCD
It is SLCD, but this does not mean it is better than LCD (the same).
Desire Z has a smaller screen so.......

Desire HD SLCD or LCD Display
folks...the desire hd being sold here in india atleast have an s-lcd screen & not lcd..
Contacted customer care and they confirmed that all desire HDs (post firmware 1.32.720) carry an S-LCD 24bit panel from sharp....They stated that the initial launch models had an LCD panel from sharp altho wid 16M colors..
I am very happy wid my desire HD. Infact its the best smartphone I have owned. period. To me SLCD or no SLCD it still gives very crsip natural looking colors compared to both my original desire (AMOLED) & iphone 3GS

I was wondering that is there any way to dig in to the hardware specs through the phone itself, rooted of course, in order to get the specs right, at least for that particular device?
On the other hand imo there really is no actual point in this debate as the screen is great. Ok if you put it side-by-side with an iphone4 or some superAMOLED screen you'll see the difference but when used separately there's no such impact. Just crank it up to auto brightness and its just fine in any conditions. I've got some of my friends with iphone 3gs complimenting the screen: It's so BIG, and bright! Haha! Just my 2 cents
here said Desire HD uses Super LCD
i am assuming type of display could be basic on different regions
just like the Nexus S

Here are some hints:

And if you can choose in a store, why not try them both before buying.
its to my understanding that the desire comes in slcd or s/amoled screens but wen i look in settings/about phone/hardware it says i have wvga screen...can someone elaborate??
Original Desires had AMOLED until about august 2010, all new Desires from then on are SLCD
so wat does the wvga mean...do i have slcd
If you bought your phone brand new after August 2010 then you will have SLCD most likely. WVGA is like a sub type of screen. Correct me if I'm wrong. All you need to worry about is AMOLED or SLCD.
WVGA just means it's 800x480. It says nothing about the type of screen it is.

Year screen type i not specified anywhere in the software. There is of course a difference in the drivers, however the newer firmwares after slcd release support both screen types so this was only a problem in the beginning when people flashed amoled firmware on slcd phones, so it should not be a concern to you. And if you did buy it after august 2010 it is VERY likely to be slcd.
WVGA has nothing to do with type. It is just the std name for 800*480 pixel resolution.
What I understand, about why the AMOLED went SLCD, was that
Samsung made HTCs screens, until they realised that they have
some good screens, and wanted to keep that advantage to themselves.
Cant blame them for that. Samsung has very good screens,
but they lack HTCs development such as the sence part.
In comparesence samsung screens (and Desires AMOLED)
are a bit better in bright light environment, aka sunlight.
I got the SLCD and its hard to se anything on the screen,
on a sunny day.
Wanna find out wich screen U got?

"Check the box your Desire came with at the section Display: if it states "3.7 inch AMOLED touch-sensitive screen" then you've got an AMOLED display but if it says "3.7-inch touch-sensitive screen" then you've got an SLCD display."
My to cents...
So what's qvga? I know there are more like that.

Hello people I have a noob question as always.
Is it possible to switch Desire S's SLCD screen with my current Desire's amoled screen? Will it work?
ps: also will it blend?
I heavily doubt it.
I broke the LCD display on my beloved Desire. I ordered and received a new one. When I disassembled my Desire I realized that I have a Samsung version and new one is Sony version display. Now I am interesting in whether are these two versions compatible or do I have to order a new Samsung version screen. Thank you.
It's normal. Samsung screen it's amoled but it went out of production, you'll find it only on the first generation of HTC Desire (dating back almost 2 years ago), the second, and more recent, desire generation is equipped with Sony screen, that is SLCD
