HTC Evo brightness outdoors?

---

I did not see anywhere with this information. I would like to know if it is easy to see outdoors. This has been a problem for some devices and I thought that AMOLED was going to be better at this so I am surprised that this is TFT.

Thanks in advance to those lucky enough to have one.

Actually, it is the opposite. The TFT LCD screen is easier to see in sunlight than the AMOLED. The HTC Incredible is very bad in the sunlight. My iPhone with it's LCD was perfecftly readable in direct sunlight and I suspect the Evo will be as well.

with brightness on full, i am able to read it in direct sunlight, but it's kind of hard to see.

Not necessarily, your iphone has a transflective like display, making it superior for outdoor view-ability. Most LCDs are not transflective/similar. I have a similar post asking the same general question here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693013 if you watch the video from 2:20 on, you will see the iphone in general is 100x better than most LCD and OLED screens currently being used. But what the Evo has I don't know.

Thanks

Thanks for answering my question and the additional info regarding Transreflectinve LCD's.

All in all, I don't think that this will prevent me from getting one. My current WinMo phone already has this problem.

i love HTC but all their device are horrible in sunlight including the SUPERSONIC.u'll c when u get one.

I had it in bright sunlight the other day. It is definitely not bright like inside, but definitely readable (way better than my old Tilt). But you do still have to deal with glare on that super shiny screen, so adjusting the angle a little may be necessary sometimes.
