Got myself a NEWER Nexus One with SLCD

[FastMhz]

The first one I ever got was AMOLED which I sold and now I got another Nexus One with a SLCD. Wow, I gotta admit the SLCD is much more clearer than the AMOLED. As for screen response, I feel like it's a little faster. I am running Cyanogen 7.1 RC1 and so far so good.

Was anything else changed on the phone besides the screen? I feel like it's a nice revision from the first Nexus One.

i've always wanted to switch for an SLCD jsut because its clearer, sharper, and my theory is that the screen draws much less power and will be better for battery life for web browsing. i wonder how true that is.

How do you tell if it is AMOLED or SLCD?

It's clearly visible, just turn off lights and watch screen in the dark:

left AMOLED - right SLCD

I'm very happy with the switch. Its like "retina display" to me

Debatable. LCDs draw a constant amount no matter what is displayed. OLED only draws power for pixels lit up.

Originally it was thought that OLEDs would be much less power but in the end it is so close that it is determined by content.

If you go in slickdeals.net and search the forum for "Nexus" they have one for around $249

exactly. i'm so sick of having to watch what type of content i'm looking at. anythign white just murders my battery and i lose 1% every 2 minutes checking stocks and whatnot. an SLCD pulls a constant current no matter the content, and i feel it would be much more manageable.

Boot into the bootloader and look at the microp version: 0b15 = amoled, 0c15 = slcd

easier way to tell(from an older thread):

Install a terminal emulator and type "dmesg", then scan the results for one of the following:
samsung_oled_panel = AMOLED
sony_tft_panel = SLCD

Maybe it's just me, but that sounds like more effort than just rebooting and reading a letter on the screen, no?

that's quite lucky for u.

i got mine from amazon ago and just can't stand the blue tint in all the black area, especially when i use dark themes and color most of time to make it easy on my eye and save some battery. That can't be traded towards better text display for me.

sending it back today..

they say Nexus One's AMOLED isn't really WVGA...hope SLCT fixed it.

i have a SLCD, and the colour are fantastic... only the dark, is blue lol
i have comparized my slcd with a desire hd slcd, the my display have much better colour, but the black and the white, are better in the desire hd slcd

Due to pentile matrix, AMOLED effective resolution is 392x653, 2/3 of 480x800 of SLCD.

This is fixed on new SuperAMOLED panels.
