[Q] ..Just got the phone. TEXT is so blurry??

---

Just got my phone. The txt on the apps and main screens and just about all txt looks very blurry. Pics and such are perfect.

Is this something others are seeing? didn't see anybody mention it elsewhere.

Thanks!

Or is it that it's just not as clear as iphone4 screen?

it's really annoying to look at.

Might be a good time to schedule an appointment with your local optometrist.

My screen with text looks great.

haha. every other screen in my life is good.

Maybe I have a bad one. The app icons all look fuzzy too.

That'll be the Pentile matrix, doesn't bother most people.

Unless you have it really bad, then it might be a bad one.

Pentile RGBG matrix... effective resolution is lower than RGB. Comparing it to an iPhone 4 screen with even higher RGB resolution makes it look worse... so I suggest switching to a phone that has an RGB LCD like the MT4G or something if you don't want to deal with the pixelation. Also, the screen being 4" doesn't help... compared to a condensed 3.5" iPhone display.

That's also why I thought 4"+ was too big for 800x480 (S-)AMOLED. I was actually surprised for Samsung keeping that resolution.

Still, at such resolutions, I value vibrant colors more than higher resolution like on the iPhone 4.

Thanks for the info. It seems what's getting me is that images and apps aren't all made for the high res screen. So some look horrible, others don't.

SO I guess the lack of a standard, like iphone, makes not all apps equal.

hmmmmm

The only thing keeping me from getting this phone is the pentile matrix SAMOLED screen

Pretty much everything will be OK for the screen, 800x480 has been in common use for over a year.
