[Q] question about the screen display

---

I just returned my TMO SGSII today because of all the vertical lines / blobs on the screen when low light or grey backgrounds.

it was very, very, disturbing to my eyes when i'm using the phone at night.

I've gone through 10+ replacements, with all different manufacturing dates on the box.

every single one of them had lines.

ppl in TMO SGSII forum says that its problem with the driver not working so well with the chip (or something)

i called samsung and talked to executive representative, asking if the phone is going to have any software update any time soon (not that it's really going to fix the problem )

they said since the phone is new, there are no planned updates so far.

so i just gave up and i'm back with my old captivate on tmo network with only edge speed..

i wouldn't want to pay more than half a thousand dollars and get a defect phone (it's defect at least to me)
the display is what i mostly look into when i'm trying to buy a phone.

anyways,

do you guys think there will be any possibility that GN would have problems regarding screen display like TMO SGSII?
(fact that GN is not using exynos? - if it really matters)

sorry for the nooby question

thx in advance.

There is no real noob questions when it comes to this device... We hardly know about it!
I think it will be a perfect screen, no lines, samsung takes a lot of pride in this screen I highly doubt something like lines in the screen will show up an issue with this phone.

Side note...so did t mobile give you a refund for your sgs2 our anything?
I am my mom's "little elitest"
Deal with it! :P

well, i paid $550 at first,

and i got all of it back in cash.

i don't know if you are supposed to get everything back, but if not, it's because i know the owner of my tmo local store so well. my girlfriend's dad runs that place.

i got my my hands on TMO SGSII on Oct. 7th or 8th, not even an hour after the phone got shipped to the store for the first time.

plus, i get lot of things for free. screen protectors, cases, etc. lol

anyway, thx for the answer. u have my thanks
it's good to know that it'll have perfect screen.

i hope tmo really gets this phone soon, cuz i have 10GB plan, but i'm stuck with EDGE!!!!!!

That's terrible! Edge must be killing you! Well I think we ask wish t mobile gets this soon.
I plan to get the lte version on verizon actually
I am my mom's "little elitest"
Deal with it! :P

good for you

i'm better off with TMO network.. verizon somehow doesn't work well in my area..

i usually got 12+ Mbps with TMO SGSII when i had it.

I don't think you'll have any problems with the screen of the NG. The SGS II had really bad colours because of Mdnie or so. Can't remember how it's called. When you flash CM7 on to the SGS II you won't experience this lines etc. because they don't include the drivers like Samsung does.

i see. not only the vertical lines, some pictures would get blurred a lot. like stock blue wallpaper on TMO SGSII.

but CM7 is not out for the TMO SGSII right?

not sure if this is what you were looking for, but Androidcentral just did some super macro up close shots of the Galaxy Note's screen (which is just about the exact same as the screen on the GN, but lower pixel density).

These pictures make the screen look suuuuper crisp. Hope this helps.

Sry can't help you with the TMO version had the GSM international one.
Ah and I forgot something. Mdnie (or so) is a "feature" from Samsung to provide natural colours so it shouldn't be included in any AOSP ROM.
