HTC Diamond Screen Contrast

[anubis23]

Okay today i bought my US version Diamond from ebay, yeah i said it ebay, im just a poor man w, BUT! The first diamond i had was a UK version which i bought from Expansys 600 $ :D.

Now i seen many people have this problem the "yellow contrast tint" on the US Diamond, so i am writing this post to ask should i even bother contacting HTC, about the Yellow Tint? and would they fix it (Swap LCD screen out to a normal one), under warranty or even for money?

Or am i better off changing it myself with a replacement lcd screen from ebay or from any where else i can get my hands on one?

Also the reason this is a problem for me, seeing how some people can deal with it, its that the dullness of the screen actually hurts my eyes, seeing how i wear glasses.

Thank you in advance for any advice you may have for me.

Also my display has contrast yellow tint. (Italian Diamond)

The other, however, seems to have the contrast blue tint... :p

were you able to fix it? My screen has the same problem

no fix htc wont help either and charges 163 to rep the screen so best bet is to buy a diam100 screen and rep it yourself

I supply HTC Touch Diamonds for my clients and set them up with software that we make here and I can safely say all new Diamonds have the yellow screen. We've tried to source them from several different locations, every one of the new ones has a yellow screen. The ones we get are mostly DIAM100's as well, so the model number doesn't dictate the screen tint. I've still got one of the original diamonds with the proper white screen and I'm glad I do as I can't stand the yellow ones.

As far as I know, the underlying technology in the screen doesn't support it, so it'll be a tad pointless.

from what i was led to beleve from orange sum diamonds are made in china (the good ones) while some are made in taiwan for a portion of the price, these cheaply made ones are the ones with the screen tint issue!! i had to return my diamond a few times b4 i finally got a decent one lol

this is really a deal killer for me. i was about to buy a us version than read that us versions are prone to yellow screens but if this is true, even the euro versions are now all yellow! :(

I am glad to see this issue has been brought up. I've got 2 Diamonds from both regions as well, and can confirm this 100%. It was actually the first thing I noticed when powering on the American Diamond for the first time.

My only guess is that the American version is using a cheaper LCD, as the blacks looks more like washed out grays. The whites, are this off-white cream color, its just not healthy to look at. The backs of both my Diamonds are 'Made in Taiwan'.

So I'm sticking to the European Diamond as it looks a lot better, and I can easily live without 3G.

On the Left, European Diamond
On the Right, American Diamond
