Default Non-Pentile LCD?

we'll.. that's the only thing that bugs me..
i can live with a locked bootloader,
i can keep suffering from the wifi disconnections
but that pentile matrix is really stupid. (why was it invented in first place.. argh!!~)

does anyone know about a 4" lcd i can get that will fit (size & connectivity) into the atrix with the same resolution (960x540) but NON PENTILE?

thanks!

Nope.

EDIT: It's also worth pointing out that it's not the pentile aspect of the LCD that you should be complaining about. AMOLED screens are pentile too. Every time I see a galaxy s owner whine about the Atrix screen being "pentile" I want to punch them in the throat.

Yeah, the problem is actually the normal saturation of the colors, while the samoled has very saturated colors.

Just curiously, what screens aren't pentile? Like what screens out there now are better than ours? I suppose the iPhone 4, for one?

The screen is alright compared to the matrix that the galaxy s is using.. our screen is much brighter and battery efficient..
but what if there was a replacement screen which is full RGB stripe, wouldn't you take it?
I know i would... full rgb will make gradients smoother...

p.s.
I'm not hating the amoled but lets face it.. its over saturated.. natural colors on lcd looks way better to me.

of course most of us would take a full-stripe screen but they don't and never will exist for our phone.

not necessarily..
Apple made a "Retina Display" with a smaller screen size, means.. higher pixel density.
so we know the technology exists, maybe a full rgb screen will be available in the future..

Probably. On a different phone.
Winter is coming.
