Hi
newby here been doing a lot of reading and just found out that there are two types of screen for the htc desire amoled & slcd.I'm waiting for a new desire to arrive in the next couple of days and was wondering if the new slcd screen was any better of worse than the amoled one.The reason for asking is that the desire is advertised as having an amoled screen and if its better then perhaps i should return it without opening the box as it would be not as descrided in the description of the phone.Can any tell me where to look on the box to see which type of sceen it is or is there no difference in the 2 screens worth bothering about.
Thanks in advance.
Regard Malcolm

well, I don't know which one is better, but on the normal box (white and tall with a full size desire on it) it says at the back.. Specifications Display 3.7-inch AMOLED touch-sensetive screen
hope this helps! good luck!
AMOLED is way better
has better battery life

Nope, according to what has been reported in the news and what HTC is telling everyone, the Desire now has a better battery life thanks to the new SLCD screens.
AMOLED:
+ better contrast and black levels (makes for a better looking picture)
- can't see anything on the screen when used outside or when the sun is shining on the screen
- lower battery life
SLCD:
- a little lower contrast (but still looking great and much better than standard LCD).
+ can see the screen outside in sun light.
+ better battery life.
As far as I'm concerned, a phone I can't use outside due to a useless screen is of no use to me; so I choose the SLCD over the AMOLED. Of course S-AMOLED (as found on the Samsung Galaxy S) would be the best of both worlds (great contrast and you can use it outside).
SLCD is supposed to have at least 5 times better battery life than normal LCD, I don't think AMOLED can say that.
In reality the noticeable differences between the 2 screens will be little to none, however on paper SCLD does edge it.
Here's one comparison:
http://blog.gsmarena.com/htc-desire-with-s-lcd-screen-meets-one-with-amoled-they-go-head-to-head/
In short: The SLCD allows for better battery life and improved sunlight readability, while the AMOLED produces more vibrant colours.
Hi thanks for info mines arrived and it looks like its the s-lcd screen with whats on the box no mention of amoled ,but if the battery life is better then maybe that is the way to go if there's little to chose in the display side of the screen.Just got to diside wheather to open the box and get on with it or ship ai back as no as described ie no amoled screen.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all.
See the below post for pictures of the differance with the screens and boxes. Also details of them.
I didnt and possibly am stuck with the Sled version.

To bonit2,
Welcome to the site. Didnt see your post as must have been updating mine when you made yours.
Will be trying the update tomorrow so its a case of "suck it and see"
Once done will re-post on sucess/failure.
Odinbear said:
Hi, I know this sounds stupid. But can you post a copy of the back of the box showing the difference, I have included a screen shot of my (I assume) Super LED box.
Until reading this forum I was about to try the Froyo update but have seen that there are different versions for the different screens, and without this forum would have tried the *Wrong Version*.
If this version info is wrong let me know as dont want to **** the phone up.

Hi! my first post here.
not to add more to the confusion but i have the same print in the box as yours and mine is still AMOLED display.
At first i thought it was SLCD and having nothing to compare it with, i bit the bullet and root using the one for AMOLED. no display blackout and all went well.
my guess is that the print in the box was to prepare for the roll out of the S-LCD even if there are still AMOLED display on stock.
of course you may have a real S-LCD so good luck.
I have the amoled screen and i can ALWAYS read my screen outside and very easily too.
Why do some people keep misinforming others that amoled screen is unreadable outside or in the sun ?!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Hi!
I already test both Desire with Amoled and S-LCD and forget S-LCD...If you try Amoled first you will never go back trust me.
I love Amoled. You will never see the differences if you don't use it, and forget youtube comparative videos because you will not be able to detect the real differences...
For me Amoled it's much better and if you want to save baterry just work with sync settings...Why sync gmail contacts, facebook contacts, weather... every 1 hour?
Amoled or S-Amoled but only on galaxy I think for now...
To check if my Desire is AMOLED or SLCD

If amoled is not specified in the specs it's SLCD.
about screen
the same situation, bought a phone in mediaworld and back on the box says "schermo sensibile al tocco da 3.7 polici" this means that the sensitive ekranb 3.7. diagonal. this also means that the screen SLCD?
then you can link tyknut where indicated as do root for SLCD screens?

I rang the freephone number for the UK and spoke to tech support.
They asked for the IMEI number and told me that I had the Amoled screen.
However my packaging "Didnt" have the amoled wording on it, and was told that the packaging had been changed before the screens had and some people had the "wrong" boxes.
So if you want to know what you have, just ring them and they will tell you.
Also if you got your phone before the middle of July it "Should be Amoled" again tech support (UK) words, cannot say for elsewhere.
Hope that clears things up. Lol..
Ah, nice Odinbear, that's some good info you got there.

Sometimes its so easy to get lost in the detail of making a problem difficult that the simple answers get overlooked.
I have always found HTC tech support (UK) very helpful and believe that most of them are members of this site LOL..
If theyre not they should be.
I cracked my screen and i dont have the box...... so how would I tell without opening it up, which one I have?
Just if I have to open it up and let it sit there for 3 weeks Id forget how I would put it back together
If you got your Desire after August (I think) or September then it would be SLCD otherwise it's AMOLED.

Anyone can tell me which is better ? Please to explain to me as I'm totally don't have any knowledge regarding SLCD & AMOLED.

I think it comes down to personal preference. I kind of like the AMOLED screen, and mine has a very soft neuance of a pinkish hue. But nothing that is annoying or anything. The SLCD is as you know the secondary preference of HTC, but it seems to be as good as the first choice..
I genuinely think if I wasn't a member of this forum and read pretty much everything about the desire, I wouldn't have noticed the pinkish tint to grey colours... That's just me, it really isn't bad and certainly not a deal breaker. For how often that colour even shows up, its not worth concerning yourself about. If you want AMOLED over an SLCD screen which I think is probably wiser seeing as it was HTC's first choice then get one now.. All I can say is the screens beautiful and full of colour, not having seen SLCD screens I can't say if it will be any different but unless its an improvement, then get an AMOLED one

Can't agree more. Haven't seen a SLCD live but I really like the shiny colors and this is enough reason for me to choose AMOLED over lcd I really don't care about the slight pink effect and anyway it's almost gone in 2.2.
I'm really happy with my desire
Regards
If you don't notice anything wrong with the screen on a Desire with amoled screen then don't bother with the canadian version.
Some people are just more geeky and uptight about these things.
Personally the oversaturated colors was the first thing I noticed when I saw the phone in a shop without having read about the issue on the internet.
Amoled: The colors is punchier and fuller, the blacks will be deeper.
This sounds really good and most people dont find the oled on the desire bad
at all. Because of the type of amoled they used on the desire the screen wont
seem as sharp as a hvga screen should be. If you want to see amoled screen
done right, check out the samsung omnia hd, just perfect.
Lcd: The colors arent as full but after having had a tp2 for 6 months i think it looks really good anyway. Any lcd screen with hvga resolution will appear alot sharper than the one on the desire. Also i found while the colors werent as deep as on a oled i found the color spectrum to appear wider than on desire. Dont know if thats true that just the way it appears to me and what I prefer.
The Slcd they will use on the canadian Desire will be a lcd with a
ips panel. ips panels arent normally used on cell phones but alot of
graphics artists use them on lcd monitors when doing photo work.
I think theyre supposed to show colors more accuratley than
tn or pva panels.
I know the viewing angles on them are really good,
like 160 degrees. The downside has been that they don't have quite as
fast response time as tn or pva panels but it isnt a big deal if youre
not a twitch fps player.
Also, I read that SLCD drains more power than AMOLED.

It is a contradiction. If colors are deeper then spectrum is wider. Amoled can display colors which LCD can't, and which doesn't even exists in any normal (sRGB) picture

I don't think that the colors are deeper and the color spectrum or color space is the same thing, maybe im wrong. I found the colors the desire screen showed were deeper, by deeper i mean more intense and fuller, as one should expect from a oled display. To me, the colorspace didnt seem as wide as on my tp2's lcd screen. That's my personal impression of it. It could be because of the pinkish hue wish also might add to the oversaturation of some colors. I found the color red specially to be oversaturated wich gave me the impression of the colorspace not to be so wide.
It's true that Amoled can show more colors than lcd, at least when oled
is done right.

You know what, im not sure that I can. I was pretty sure that ive read somewhere that S-lcd is the buzzword for Samsung's and Sony's joint venture for creating newer generation lcd displays with ips panels.
But now that I look for it im not so sure. I was certain i read an post on Engadget where they clearly stated that it was ips panel but I cant find that now.
There is one source vaugley explaining it here:
http://androidcommunity.com/htc-for...ft-lcd-from-amoled-due-to-shortages-20100625/
But it says:
"But, the big question is: what is Super TFT LCD? Well, you’ve actually heard of it before, because it has a nickname that’s come up recently in the news (after the announcement of a certain tablet). Super TFT LCD’s nickname is IPS. Which, yes, became “famous” thanks to Apple’s iPad tablet. It provides a wide viewing angle, and provides very clear images — even if the colors aren’t as “distinguished” when compared to an AMOLED display."
But the source of those news is:
http://www.oled-display.net/the-sma...tc-must-switch-the-display-from-amoled-to-lcd
Wich really doesnt say anything about being an ips panel
If the SLCD is even vaguely readable in direct sunlight, go for it. Because the AMOLED isn't, I don't care what people claim.
If it's an IPS panel, the I'd be very tempted to give 'SLCD' a try.
But whenever I pick up another phone since getting my Desire I notice the muddy, bleeding blacks that OLED eliminates.
It's official now. Wondering any review which is better..

That video kinda makes me feel good about having an AMOLED screen.
There's no screens named SLCD. S-LCD is the COMPANY that makes the screens wich will replace AMOLED-screens on HTC DESIRE. S-LCD is a joint venture between Samsung and Sony. According to wikipedi, S-LCD makes S-PVA panels (wich is even worse than IPS). The video showing the "new" screen on desire is clearly a S-PVA panel.

Patterned vertical alignment and super patterned vertical alignment (S-PVA) are alternative versions of MVA technology offered by Samsung's and Sony's joint venture S-LCD. Developed independently, they offer similar features to MVA, but with higher contrast ratios of up to 3000:1.....
PVA and S-PVA offer the best black depth of any LCD type along with wide viewing angles. S-PVA also offers fast response times using modern RTC technologies.
Source: Search Wikipedia for TFT LCD
I've had a new HTC Desire with S-LCD in my hand for a while, along with my old Amoled one.
It's surely a lot better than my old LCD (Touch HD).
What impressed me is the clarity of the display, the whites, the good contrast compared to old LCD and the fact that (I think) the phone is lighter.
Of course blacks and contrast are miles better on amoled.
But where it failed me, is better readability in direct sunlight. It's more or less the same as amoled, which is (for me) average. I can live with that, but I expected the S-LCD to compensate more for its shortcomings.
All in all, I feared worse, but I would take amoled any day.
according to my box, I have the amoled screen.
Must say I'm pleased with whatever it is !!
i found this article today and after reading it i am more and more confused about which is better

hey guys, I just got my Desire (loving it).
I got it without it's box. I know it's probably a stupid question, but I did a search on this, couldn't find an answer. How can I tell whether its SLCD or AMOLED?
my HBOOT version is 0.83, I noticed most SLCDs come with this version or 0.92, but its not enough for me to tell.
Any idea?
Thanks
hey, there is one way to check, the slcd screens use backlight which remains on when the screen is on. if you get a complete black picture, pure black picture, on the amoled it should look like the screen is off but if u got the slcd you can still see the backlight behind the lcd.
hope this isnt a stupid answer
still new to all this

The Amoled screen will have matrix of visible dots about an 1/8 to a 1/4 inch apart on the unpowered screen if viewed at the right angle. The SLCD does not. How do I know ? I bought the 3rd one sold at the store on release day and just bought 2 more a week ago. They are different.

Also you can simply look at the keyboard. If all the letters are perfectly clear, its an slcd. If it looks as if its an lower resolution and unclear you have the amoled

I'm sure similar questions have been asked already but I find myself in a fairly unique position whereby my old phone was SLCD and Three UK replaced it with an AMOLED Desire under warranty. I can now either keep this one or complain and get it replaced. Which would be the better option in this scenario?
Thanks

Depends on you, AMOLEDS draw approx 3x more power when displaying white pixels, has a higher chance of getting a burn-in, but they use virtually no power when displaying black/ dark colours. SLCDs performs better under sunlight when compared to AMOLEDs, and they don't use Pentile matrix.
I would never do it... Images looks more beautiful on the AMOLED, believe me...

Since you live in the UK where there is not much bright sunlight, you may as well stick with the AMOLED.
Engadget recently did a comparison of the SLCD and AMOLED desires and the AMOLED one came out with the better battery life. If I had both in my hands I would just pick the one which has the most honest colours.
The colours aren't really of much concern. There seems to be a slight pinkish tint on the AMOLED but it really isn't that bad. Nor do I care about seeing it in sunlight (I live in the UK). The only thing that slightly bothers me is the fuzzy text, but since I don't have them both side by side I can't do a proper comparison. What do others think of the layout of the pixels on the AMOLED display as compared with the SLCD?

Having held them both side by side today I would still pick the amoled, the low black levels make for am immense movie watching and e- reading experience ( white text on a black background is really restful foot the eyes to read) the only time text trading is a problem is the SMALLEST red text on a black screen, so hardly ever!

Hmm... I guess I'll just go to a Three store tomorrow and compare for myself. I'm very picky about this sort of thing and I don't want to have a phone I'm not happy with for the next 1 1/2 years or so. In a way I could be considered lucky being able to pick, but I find it's usually more of a misfortune in my case.
Anyway, thanks for the help.
Hi.
Before anything. I don't have the original screen of this DESIRE.
I have the phone, I know it works because I can use Screencast with it and it makes sounds when I turn it on. It works 100%.
But since I don't have the original LCD I don't know If I have to replace it with an AMOLED LCD or with SLCD screen.
1-. These are not interchangeable, right?
2-. S/N is SH08GPL03124 P/N is 99HKZ041-88 , it's PB99200 T8181 EU Desire.

Have you got the box? If it's amoled it will be written on it. I doubt a slcd could fit an amoled and viceversa, so even if the screen has been replaced it will still be of the same kind it was shipped with. If you can't find the box then you can still tell wether it's amoled or not by simply looking at something black on the screen: if it's amoled black colour isn't displayed, so it's the same as when it's turned off. Otherwise if you have a slcd black will look less intense, more bright.

http://antondnagy.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/how-to-tell-if-your-htc-desire-has-slcd-or-amoled-screen/
This is how I test if my desire was amoled or SLCD. Firstly we must understand one of the amoled's feature which is "True black". This means the black color displayed on screen is extremely strong.
So, go to your room at night and switch off your lights. Click on settings page. You should see like as if the white texts are floating on air with a slight tinge of your hand's figure. Since the settings page, applications menu page is pure black, the blackness must be strong enough that it will blend in with pitch dark.
On SLCD however, its a different story. If you try SLCD with the above scenario, you can see a back ground lighting effect. You cant miss it. And the black color is not as strong as AMOLED's. Colors on AMOLED are more vibrant and strong compared to SLCD. However on SLCD, pictures look sharper because pixels are more dense per dot.
There is a youtube video that demonstrates exactly what I explained above. Placing two HTC desire (one AMOLED , and one SLCD) side by side for comparison. Search in youtube for AMOLED vs SLCD OR place "d5daNfccSiA" on the youtube link replacing the text after ?v=
Thanks for the answers...
I don't have the box and I don't have the screen of the phone! It was cracked and the last user removed it and dropped it to the trash.
Is there any way to know with only the serial number or manofacture date?
Best Regards.
Yes there is, if your device is manufactured before 27 July 2010, and if you did not purchase it as 2nd hand but from a retail store.. it is most likely that your device is AMOLED.
Read HTC announcement : here. HTC stopped using AMOLED in their phones and was announced on 27th July 2010. However it will take some time for retail stores to finish their old AMOLED stocks before selling the newer SLCD stocks. You can estimate from here...
Hope this helps answer your question
Put a drop of water on the screen to magnify the pixels. If you can see pink "teeth" around the edges of the pixels then your display is AMOLED. These are what cause the AMOLED screens to have a pink-ish hue to them.
