no, the best xperia display are the TX and V ones with Opticontrast panel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010335
Xperia Z has an Opticontrast panel too...
I think it's just a matter of screen calibration (gamma, contrast, etc...).
And about view angles, I'm pretty sure that the problem come from the backlight, that need to be very powerfull because of the 1080p resolution.
How did you lowered the Gamma dude? Any software?It does look like a gamma calibration issue.
does android let you set the gamma settings via command line like on Linux?
eg. xgamma -gamma 1.000
Using linux as an example, it looks like the Z is set to 1.200 gamma, where .900 would suit most people's needs better.
Check it.
lowered gamma to .75
also I have a friend that has SOny Xperia IOn and also the display looks very good and is better than my sony xperia T display...and also all the ppl are complaining about the sony xperia Z display..but maybe they will fix it in the future 
.
.Irfanview for Windows.
I'm pretty sure most image viewers will have brightness/contrast/saturation/gamma adjustment settings.
Agree. With high brightness it looks like there are too much light on the panel and make blacks looks grey...
It may be fixed with an update? Or even on a rom?
Mine dosnt look half as bad. This is at half brightness.

Put the phone on the table and surf web. Do you want to see your phone vertically in this case?
Take a photo by using a camera, otherwise no Amoled screen is saturated.
I have a Note 2, and its screen is great when I see it alone or compare to other Amoled screens. But white is not very good when compering to an IPS screen.
So don't judge anything unless compare it to another

Depending were you have your brightness, I have my phone on my desk as I type. Not as bad as everyone is stating. Either they havent got the phone and seeing it on youtube which will not give you results in person or there just plain trolling as they havent the chance to pick one up for themselves. I agree that the screens not like samsungs etc, but everyones used to them being over saturated. This uses natural colours which you have to get used to.

Thats my point, even with taking a screenshot its not bad. Take a look on youtube at angles, you wont get what ul have in person.

Quick n dirty paintshop style:
Original picture from post above:
Samsung AMOLED style
My point, picture above doesn't say anything. Cut the crap about the display, if you don't like it don't moan about it and don't buy this phone or return (although. you could have checked it first in the store).

If there is a general issue there is an issue people simple as that. What we as Sony fans must do is (a part from separting the fanaticism from reality):
1) Communicate to Sony our concerns promptly
2) Hope that an update is able to address the concerns raised
All reviewers can't be wrong guys...the display isn't as saturated as others and doesn't have the best viewing angles...which may all be down to the screen technology used but hopefully some improvement can be had.
I'm holding on to my Galaxy S III for a little until the price stabilizes. I've already decided I will skip Galaxy S IV at least until after the Xperia Z if it's worth it.

I checked the demo unit available today at a store. Phone was fast and smooth. No sign of any lag or stuttering.
About the display , its sure is washed out in UI but while watching photos and videos it looks good to me. Sure its not as saturated as my S3 but there is nothing one cannot like it. Viewing angles are not that bad. Better than Xperia S. I think once people start using it, they will get accustomed to it. Not a deal breaker.
One thing i found that speaker output is bit on low side. Surely Looks and design are headturner. I think it wont be a flagship phone for sony for long but also it wont be a flop phone.Lets see how development of ROMs goes for this phone. I will buy it if it gets AOSP ROMs fully working.........I really hate samsung for its closed source policy

hey u can change the contrast settings on s3 - Settings-->Display--->Screen Mode
I own Z, mine is Sharp panel.
Washed out - NO.
Narrow viewing angle - YES, affected during normal usage - NO, but it is YES during some games play, example Temple Run.

To be honest when I first checked out the XZ in the shop, I did realise the screen was somewhat pale in comparison to, my X/Ion which I have in my hand that time. I have to agree Ion has one of the best screen on a mobile. But that didnt stop me from trading in the Ion for the XZ. Never looked back at all. Quite frankly, apart from the fantastic screen of the Ion, IMO, its the worst phone experience I have ever had. I am a compulsive handphone switcher.. XZ is my 5th phone this year and its just March when I did the trade in. The capacitive hardware button in particular and Sony's implementation of ICS on that phone was horrible...
So Yes Ion screen is way better than XZ, but the overall user experience was horrible and I would rather die than use another Ion again.
