Default Just thought I'd throw this out there...(Epson / Nova)

Just a PM response, but I figured I'd just post it to the public...ive been thinking about this for a while now...

colors on NOVATEK are horribly wrong... I think they might be the AMOLED screens that HTC had originally announced the phone with... Then they noticed the color issue with the new AMOLED technologies and reverted to the EPSONs.

excuse my ignorance, but this is like hearing one end of a phone conversation for a very brief moment. care to provide some more context and detail?

don't mean to sound rude.. i'm honestly curious.

Maybe it's just me, but I have a NOVA and my brother has an Epson and the difference is negligible if any compared side by side. I guess we are just color blind and don't know it.

Neither Novatek or Epson make AMOLED panels (only Samsung and LG) and if it was an AMOLED screen it would be noticeably better

lol then you have eye problems... i held my NOVA0002 next to my EPS0003 and i tell you, nova is this color -->><<--- where its supposed to be black... put the default sense black background on... youll see

and it was about my exchaning my phone due to the screen grounding issue...

The new phones have nova panels last I checked so they didn't switch anything to epson. If anything they ran both as tests and picked nova for whatever reason.

Mine is Novatek and black levels are amazing. Color quality is good as well. I have seen Evos with the purple tint though. I just don't think it matters what screen type it is.

I have a related question.

I actually have a 0003, with the Nova screen. Is there a difference between the 0002 and 0003 models with the Nova screen?
