[Q] How do I know if my N1 is AMOLED?

[isikh]

How do I know if my Nexus One is AMOLED vs Super LCD? YES, i know how nice AMOLED displays are, and in fact, I had a vibrant. They're gorgeous. The reason I ask is because the N1 I got, today, has a really nice screen that reminds me of the AMOLED on the vibrant, but I'm not sure if it's actually AMOLED or Super LCD since I've never seen a super LCD display, that I know of..

AMOLED screens have a "PenTile Matrix". Find a lupe or even try the water drop trick to view the screen pattern.

Boot into the bootloader. Check your MICROP version:
0b15 is AMOLED
0c15 is SLCD

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