Default Evo screen quality vs. droid/others

For all those who have the Evo now. How does the screen look, as far as resolution goes, compared to the droid's screen? I have a 3GS and my g/f has the droid and her screen blows mine away. Just wondering if the Evo's screen will look as good as the droids.
Phone: Nexus S 4G

Default Screen

The screen looks amazing because of it's size... But it has a lower pixel density than any other phone I have tested (nexus, droid, desire, legend)... And the screen is not AMOLED so the picture is not as vibrant... It is very similar to the iPhone... Check out my youtube channel or website TeensTechReviews I will post a few videos with a comparison of all the phone screens.

The screen is amazing, and the size is awesome. I had an old iPhone 3G and now when I go to pick up that one, it feels like a little toy with a tiny screen. If you are upgrading from a 3GS, you won't be disappointed.

Screen size is awesome and I like it but when I hold it next to my Nexus one it is so much more vibrant than the Evo. The Evo screen looks a little washed out but not real bad. I sacrificed the more vibrant AMOLED screen to have a larger screen size and I don't regret it.

The EVO has the same screen resolution as the Droid,but stretched over a larger area. So in short, it should look just as good as the Droid, which is way better than the current iPhone.

actually, it has the same resolution as the nexus and incredible. the motorola droid has a couple extra pixels on it.

the size of the screen is nice, but compared to a nice OLED screen, it looks totally washed out. if you had a nexus in front of you to compare, you'd be sad looking at the screen on the evo, i kid you not.

honestly, if i had my druthers, i'd want a screen the size of the evo's, but OLED, or AMOLED for quality. it wouldn't hurt to have it at a higher resolution either, given the increase in real estate.

i'm not disappointed that i got the evo, but i do miss my nexus. i don't however miss the fact that TMO's coverage is the suxxorz in my neck of the woods. i have only had one dropped sprint call, in my apartment, where TMO is totally radio silent. it being a phone and all, being able to use it as such makes a big difference, lol
If you need help, try IRC #Cyanogenmod in freenode.net
Someone may be able to help you there. I will try, if I'm on.

Lol i had a g1 and my girlfriend had the droid. screen was SO amazing on the droid, i loved just taking it from her and using it.

i have the evo now and her droid doesnt even look as good in comparison. the evo next to her screen in terms of color is mostly the same but the screen size of the evo makes the evo look SO great. the big icons, web browsing experience, its just really hot. the droid looks puny compared to it.

and the g1 and my ipod touch? forget about it...it annoys me to look at it, seriously. lmfao

I really like the Evo's screen/display. I just wish it showed up better when I'm outside. I can barely see the screen, even when the brightness is turned all the way up. Thats one thing I loved about my BB Curve. It could be a super bright day in direct sunlight, and I'd have no problem seeing the screen.
