fanboys are everywhere

anyway, I recall the viewing angle has to do with PVA, which, although has deeper black and better contrast, and they claim the viewing angle is big, but color does shift when you're not looking frmo 90 degree straight, but the things on screen are still remain visible, unlike IPS and AMOLED, which maintain the color, or have way less color shift, normally unnoticeable. It's sad that Xperia Z would use that, I was hoping for a AMOLED or something..

yes, I prefer IPS screen for phone, although AMOLED is not too bad as well, ,maybe just hope for a later variant of IPS screen

the floating icon things i understand, been experiencing that with some Nokia phones already. I tot Nexus 7 also IPS right? shouldn't be very washed out. My TF101 is using the same screen tech and i felt that it's great too. Back to the point, it's a phone, not a tablet nor a laptop, people are not going to use it facing directly straight even half the time, i guess, and I'm very picky on color shift, it's so bad it could blind me lol, so viewing angle IMO is very important.

btw shouldn't compared to One X la, many review site claimed it's the best looking display they've seen on phone so far man.

define fake screen?

I dislike AMOLED for the over-saturated color, but some phones allow u to choose the color profile to be more natural. Yes, I prefer IPS more then anything else in the market now, but AMOLED is not too bad itself either, at least compared to other TFT's

I been using a N9 with color set to natural, and i feel that the color, at first is slightly washed away, but that's due to me being used to over-saturated color, and now i dont feel them anymore, I felt it looked ok, with very deep punch of black.

but although, as what i said, I still prefer the color that a IPS screen gives me.

just the PPI, in fact, among some of the IPS tablets, the display has been compared and it showed that iPad's screen actually has the best in contrast and color gamut. Not sure about the recent retina display ones though

Despite that, I would still wanna have a lean towards natural color, although i know vivid looks good. Example, maybe when i take a picture, i take a look at my phone, it looks great due to the vivid coloring, but when i check it again on my computer, suddenly i notice the color might be slightly washed out, or the picture might not be as good as i thought it is. there are some things that i would like to avoid.

hmm, then i'm sure it's the default color adjustment, nothing to do with viewing angle

and u think only AMOLED have problem? I tell u what have problem. S-PVA has problem, normal TFT LCD has problem, TN and IPS also have problem

oops, well, i would like more angle for viewing

well, maybe cos phone screens typically have lower contrast so darked normally means dark details gone.. not sure how the S-PVA is going to fare in this category.

my bad, so it's not color shift, but gamma shift. But that doesnt change the fact that S-PVA will have some viewing problem when phone is not used straight. And from a few demo video, i think the gamma shift is quite obvious, to my eyes, hence i was saying, better off using IPS or AMOLED

plus, I'm agreeing on his statement on fanboys are everywhere, not necessarily saying about you

yea, agree on that.. lol
AMOLED's problem is consuming a lot more power then typical TFT when displaying all white, and also bad performance under sunlight, but the latter has been improve a lot, and hence i would say AMOLED is not bad now..

btw, i think junsheng said something about AMOLED will in the end consume more power, but android system is dark themed since gingerbread, because it is optimized for AMOLED, and typically AMOLED displaying dark themed color, even grey, is a lot lower then AMOLED, so if you're talking about AMOLED on android, it does save more power compared to a typical backlit screen

dont put your hope high, even if mult-rom is supported, it's would most likely be disabled, or used to dual boot other OS, like Ubuntu for phone maybe, instead of letting u to have 2 custom ROMs, or, if you use the second ROM partition, your warranty will be voided.. manufacturers always find ways to screw hackers up, lol
