[Q] Desire HD SLCD or LCD diplay?

---

Does the Desire HD feature SLCD or LCD diplay?

Thanks for helping.

Best Regards,
Alin

It was assumed to have an SLCD display but now noted to have a standard LCD screen, although with 16M colour reproduction and a more vibrant screen than my old HD2 (side-by-side comparison)

Hello Alin, Merry christmas to you,

LCD is more general the common name for the family. SLCD is a special form of LCD.
And the Desire HD has a SLCD display.

No, Desire HD has standard TFT LCD screen.

Source: newer sources on the internet + my friend has Desire Z which comes with SLCD and the quality is noticeable better, colours are much deeper and picture is really crisp..

Shame they couldn't do it with Desire HD..

However, I must add that despite the fact it's LCD, the picture on DHD is very good anyway, and generally it's the best phone made so far. I really love it.

DHD is SLCD the fact that the screen is bigger while maintaining the 480x800 resolution makes the color reproduction worse than the SLCD Desire and Desire Z.

Screen: 4.3-inch 480×800 at 218 ppi(0.38 Megapixels) WVGA TFT LCD capacitive touchscreen

taken from wikipedia, anyway i looked on desire HD oficial site and it says just WVGA Screen, i think if it would have a SLCD they would write because it can be a marketing thingy...so i`m 99% that is normal LCD not SLCD, i guess best way is to email htc support and ask

It is LCD on every Deside "HD" sold worldwide

In Denmark HTC has confirmed that it is indeed LCD and not SLCD. And this goes for every Desire HD worldwide.

The biggest mobile operator in DK - TDC - has gone public and is promising every Desire HD customer a complete refund due to have falsely claimed it was SLCD.


(Sorry, cannot link because I am new user and thus are not allowed to have links in my messages yet).

I believe SLCD doesn't say it is better than LCD.
Have a look:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-LCD
It is SLCD, but this does not mean it is better than LCD (the same).
Desire Z has a smaller screen so.......
