Does the HTC Legend Screen Have Poor Grayscale Reproduction?
|
After some reports of issues with grayscale representation on the AMOLED screen used for the HTC Legend, Tweakers decided to run some tests to determine if there was in fact an issue with the display. Their results showed that across two separate Legends, grayscale was represented as a combination of black, white, and other colors. These color were typically a pale pink, green, gray, or brown. When compared to the HTC Hero and the iPhone, something definitely looks off.
They were unable to determine whether the color issues arise from the actual display or the way it is calibrated in the handset, but they did deduce it is operating a low maximum brightness level compared to the other phones tested.
Similar problems have been reported with the HTC Desire, though Tweakers was unable to run a test on that device. Any Legend owners out there experiencing issues when looking at shades of gray on your screen?

@Cpt. K && @Darkseider Why isn’t grey scale important? How about anything that needs a black background? or images that have grey in them and show up pink? wth
@Darkseider I’m with you it’s basically more defamatory material for the latest Android phones by iDiots who are either easily manipulated by advertising or kicking themselves for tying themselves to an obsolete phone for another 18 months.
Well its not that its poor but the amoled displays have a warmer tone so the white when compared to LCD screens doesn’t look so white… its a has its flaws and strengths. Some colors pop and others look inaccurate.
@Darkseider Waste of time? You buy a very expensive Legend or Desire and the display is not capable of showing correct greyscale colors? Sorry, but this IS fu**ing important!
I think its all HTC phones. I have an Incredible and I’ve long since noticed that when browsing the web there is a reddish ting to everything and especially gray elements. Really I didn’t know how to describe the tint but it looks just like whats pictured above. I don’t mind it as it doesn’t mess up anything but some people may dislike it. I just thought it was an issue or effect of AMOLED.
@darkseider
Even when a display is in color, there are still going to be elements that appear as some shade of gray, and those shades of gray are still affected by the issue. Take a look at the link for the HTC Desire issues in the post to see how this could effect typical web browsing.
I have found with my Legend that when the brightness is set to a low level (less than 10%) the colors get a bit funky, but not when the brightness is at a “normal” level.
Yes and this is ooh so relevant because we all know how much everyone loves to do everything in gray scale on their phones. This whole color thing is just a waste of time. >facepalm<
does the incredible have this same issue? i thought the desire and incredible used the same AMOLED panel.
