I just received a replacement phone in the mail and when I booted it up the white HTC Incredible logo screen seems to be pink compared to my other Dinc (slcd).
Maybe they sent an AMOLED, or is the screen just screwed up? When comparing an SLCD to an AMOLED model, is the screen of the AMOLED more of a pinkish hue??
If not, I have to call Asurion and let them know that this phone is junked. Has anyone compared the 2?

Pink? Like if you look at a white screen (even bootup) it's noticeably pink? I've had both the AMOLED and the SLCD. The difference between the 2 that I've found is that with the SLCD you can see the individual pixels and the colors don't seem as vivid. With the AMOLED colors are bright and you can't see the individual pixels. I can't say I noticed any differences in hue between the 2 screens.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it IS the SLCD, just a effed up one. That's TWO DUDS in a row that I've got from Asurion. The first one wouldn't connect to GPS and now this one obviously has a defective screen. I miss my original AMOLED Dinc....

You can check if its SLCD or AMOLED by checking the hardware version; settings -> about phone -> hardware information. If its 0002 its AMOLED, if its 0003 its SLCD.

thanks for that information... damn, the first phone they sent me was an AMOLED. I hope the next phone is too. But seriously, Asurion is sending out defective devices.

I just read that some of the AMOLED screens have a pink hue. Some more than others and some not at all. I guess it's up to you if you want to send it back though. I would.

Recently had my phone back from HTC for dust removal and I'm not entirely sure if they've changed the screen to SLCD. The rom has been updated to 0.83, but they tell me they always update the rom when a phone comes in for repair.
Is there a program I can safely run to determine this?
On a black background you will see a grey sheen at certain angles if it's SLCD.
You will likely see light "leaking" around the edges of the screen too
From what I've read on a dutch site is that when your screen is Amoled, the box will say something about a 3.7" Amoled screen.
But when it's SLCD the box will say something about a beautiful 3.7" screen.
turn off your device, then turn it back on while holding the volume down button, at the top of the screen make a not of your hboot version, if you have hboot 0.83.0000000 then you have an lcd screen any others and its amoled

This is not true.
Sorry... wrong post.
I've not seen an S-TFT desire, but I'd think it unlikely it has the pen-tile subpixel arrangement, so if you can see that then it's probably AMOLED.
I personally find this most noticeable during power-up - the white startup screen has a green fringe down one side and a red one down the other.
I would have thought that they would have given you the same type of screen as you had before.
Thanks for all the replies. When I view pictures in the HTC gallery, (tap on one them first to view the pic without the share and trashcan icon etc), the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen (ie outside the picture area) look exactly the same as when switched off, i.e. no backlight at all visible. Does this pretty much confirm its amoled? Perhaps somebody with a SLCD Desire could confirm if they can see a backlight in these areas

Got a new Desire on Saturday (from mobiles.co.uk), and mine does not mention AMOLED on the box next to Display, it just say 3.7 inch touch sensitive screen.
I'm guessing it's a SLCD then, still looks good.

I have a desire with SLCD and I can see the indication of "HTC desire LCD" in the battery compartment, see attachment. I do not know if other owners of SLCD screen have this also.

I've just had a look at mine and it doesn't mention that, and I think I've got an LCD because the box didn't say AMOLED.
Ok mine is amoled. Just want to ask which one is the better amoled or slcd?

There are far too many threads discussing that already!
I have a nova panel screen and apparently i can trade it in for a epson screen, cuz i like the more black look better, but i also heard a bout Super LCD screens and thought maybe the Evo would get it and i should wait to trade it in for one with that. Do they or will they make a SLCD for the EVO Screen?
No... Where did you hear that? The only phones to get SLCD screens were phones that already had AMOLED screens, and they were only replaced because there is a shortage of AMOLEDs.
What would give you such a crazy idea?
To those who had an AMOLED screen (hardware version 002) and issued a replacement from Verizon:
Did they give you an AMOLED phone?
If so, how recent was this?
Also, did it have any issues?
Was it refurbished, or certified like-new?
I may have to look at getting my Inc replaced, but I sure as hell won't do it if I get an SLCD.
I just got my replace like 8 days ago.. I got a certified like new one... the only problem that I have is that I have no clue how to find out if I have a sLcd or a Amoled.. I know it should have a 002 number under the battery but honestly I dont see that in mine...
hope my info helps...
Note: I just check and I got a Amoled 002...

When I got my replacement last month they gave me another amoled. To be honest though, the colors sucked, white had a yellowish tint. Nothing a little calibration couldn't fix however.
I've had four of them replaced, all for blown speakers. The last two I asked them for an amoled. If you ask, they will send you which ever one you want.

I don't mean to hijack, but how do you calibrate the color of the screen? The last two replacements I got have had a yellow screen and it seems to have gotten better, but I think I just got used to it.
EDIT: to add useful info, I have had 3 replacements since last April, the most recent one being last week and all were amoled screens. My wife had one replaced too and it was also an amoled.
I had mine replaced a few weeks ago, and it's an AMOLED. I haven't had the color tint issues, but my power button is a little sketchy. :/
I also can't sign into Peep on this phone when running Skyraider, but my old phone didn't have problems with it. It doesn't seem like it'd be a hardware problem, but it's the only difference I can think of.
Alright, seems safe to get a refurb now. Thanks guys.
And I assume they're all refurbished units by now instead of certified like-new, whatever the difference would be.

There's not a difference. It's either that or you send yours back to HTC to have them repair/refurbish YOUR phone and wait for whatever their turnover period is to get it back to you. There might not even be any history on the replacement you got at all so stop worrying about whether it's refurbished or not.
Second point, if you originally purchased an AMOLED unit, and you need a replacement you will receive another AMOLED. If you purchased an SLCD version you'll get an SLCD replacement. We have different SKU's for both that are automatically populated in the order system.

Here is the thread I found it in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745248
I can only vouch for ASOP however, I don't use a Sense rom so haven't tested it. Just download and flash calibrated-signed-42-Universal.zip. Then boot up and install Calibrator-5.1-Universal.apk. When you run that, you should be able to change each color calibration. It's pretty amazing, I was thrilled when I finally found it.
Got my replacement today.
Works perfectly. Also, it is AMOLED. Screen isn't "washed out" or anything either.
*edit*
Well, ****. It has ONE dead/permanently blue/cyan pixel in the middle of the bottom half of the screen.
I can't tell if it's amoled or slcd. Under hardware version is says 0002, which is supposed to be amoled, but this was a phone fixed by that insurance company (ausuron?), and then I purchased the phone after that. So I don't know if the 0002 means anything.
I went in a dark area and rebooted the phone. On the dark areas (droid logo), it looked ALMOST completely black. If I looked closely, I could see a little white (very little), so I don't know.
Is there anything else I can do to see what I have?

It's an AMOLED.
And, can you actually replace an AMOLED screen with an SLCD and not have any problems? Just wondering, incase I ever bust my screen.
Mine says 0003. What does that mean?
SLCD screen

No. I tried replacing with a different type and it didn't work. There is a difference in the power handling. All it displayed were lines of all different colors.
Ok, that rules out his insurance company or whatever replacing it with a non AMOLED panel then.

Which is better? Mine is SLCD I believe... 0003
Depends on who you are as to whether which one is better.
I personally dig the amoled because of the contrast. I like vivid colors though and I'm a graphic designer so I see all this crap other people don't see
Ok i sent my phone of to repair for the scond reboot loop time.
phone was returned eventually.
Havent really used it as i was sent a desire s and a white desire then eventually mine was returned after nearly a month for some reason so been using the desire s.
Last few days waiting for the update ive been messing with it and noticed that instead of white being white its yellowish. which it wasnt before just compared it to the white desire (havent had chance as i gave it to my daughter and shes been away until day)and the desire white is a lot brighter and crisper on the white no yellowish .
My original was a amoled got the box and flashed before so 100% amoled no doubt.
so have they changed the screen nothing wrong at all with it before repair not 1 scratch.
Cheers
Marc
ok just been thinking i had a voda brand on it before i sent it to repair had the same when i got it back different imei though.
but i have flashed it back to unbranded stock rom

I don't think so. Now when you asked, both my brother and sister own Desire amoled while I have a slcd. They do seem a bit yellowish with white background. I'm no screen expert either bit I think easiest would be to compare with your Desire S which is slcd for sure. If the colors seem plain different it is amoled for sure.
no theres a really big difference ill try to get screen shot
desire s is really crisp
desire is on the right of the pics
U have to look at the black amoled have way darker black

Look on the box of your desire. If you can read amoled in the displays description, it's amoled. If there isn't written anything, it's slcd.
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
yes box is amoled as stated original
went back to repair for second time boot loop
took ages about a month new imei same serial number
i had pushed the camera lens cover out as it became scratched phone was returned with a one that was there so prob a back cover.
just looks yellowish and unbright compared to the desire s
i think it is slcd, need som bleck picture from setings. tray microscop if is 3 sub pixel, then slcd, if 2sub pisel (pen-tile matrix) then amoled.
