Default Captivate Screen Quality?

A user posted this in the galaxy s forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=727487


he states that in an all whitebackground a slight yellow line can be viewed on the left and a slight purp line is visible on the right edge.

is this anomaly visible on our captivate?

p.s. according to them this line is not part of the pixels and doesn't take up screen space.

Thats good I've had this suspicion that the captivate was cleaned up nicely for the U.S. compared to the Galaxy S. But then we get no front facing cam. lol

I agree. My captivate shows no such lines. The screen quality is amazing. It's better in sun light than regular AMOLED screens, but it could still be better.

I wont lie. In terms of sharpness, it isn't quite up to the iPhone 4's retina display. But this screen is down right beautiful. I showed it to my Fiancee since she's heard the whole drama of $350 vs. $500 and she didn't know I was going to get it today. The first thing she said was "oh my god, that screen is beautiful." She currently has the iPhone 3gs.

This screen is just flat out amazing.

Its a pentile matrix screen like the nexus one. Fuzzy edges on text.

I agree amazingly beautiful screen. AT&T rep let me walk outside with him and he was quite impressed (being the typical Iphone worshipper) he was incredily impressed as am I...12 hours I'll have one

I picked one up the instant that my local AT&T store opened today. The screen is good. I was coming from an older iphone so the screen is a step up, but compared side by side to the iphone 4 its not anywhere near as good. If the iphone 4 is a 10 out of 10 then this phone is probably a 8 out of 10. I would put my old iphone at a 6 out of 10 overall.

My screen has no lines in it or any stuck or dead pixels at all that I can see. So overall build quality is excellent in my book.

It's a subjective thing. I like the screen better than the iPhone4

in the store the screen looks really bright, contrasty and awesome
the only thing is for me if i hold it 8in or less (although who holds their phone that close anyway) from my face i can see the pixels moderately well.
still probably the next best thing from an iphone4 screen
