Can you fire up Google Maps when you get the chance and compare it on two different handsets?

Robbo · 19 Jul 2011 at 17:59

It seems quite normal, no issues.

AMOLED displays used to have a slightly pink tint at very low brightness levels on a grey background (it was technically a fault but not one you'd ever really notice), LCD shouldn't have that problem.

They tend to look a bit more yellow/blue if anything.

I need to get a photo, this is hilariously bad.

Robbo · 19 Jul 2011 at 18:01

Please do!

It doesnt come out very well in the photo

Robbo · 19 Jul 2011 at 18:11

I can't really see it at all there

I didn't know you had a white HTC Desire!

Look at the bottom of the screen in the photo, deffo a pink tinge. Tbh i didn't notice any colouration when i played with a Sensation, it just had rubbish blacks.

I can see it, the Sensation screen is clearly more pink, the left Desire is whiter than the right one which is slightly pale.

Robbo · 19 Jul 2011 at 18:13

Yeah but it doesn't look clearly pink to me, just a bit darker.

mrk · 19 Jul 2011 at 18:14

It most definitely is pink in shade!

Robbo · 19 Jul 2011 at 18:15

I have consulted my paint picker tool and it says that it's grey, so you're wrong!

The Desire screens are both slightly blue.

[TW]Fox · 19 Jul 2011 at 18:16

I didnt notice this on instore demo models either. Hopefully its just faulty - but if this is what the Sensation is like, then goodbye.

The dropper tool selects individual pixels which are all a shade of grey but look at it as a whole and those shades give a pink tinge to the picture. Dropper tool is useless for this test

I remember commenting that the whites on the LCD were 'whiter' than the bluey-whites on the SAMOLED screens. So I'm sure it's just a dodgy screen.

I know

The Sensation that I have here does not have a pink tint like that so it's probably faulty.

Went into town for a last look at the Sensation before placing an order. Is it just me or are the icons on the screen of the Sensation more... blurry than those on the Desire?

i just had a look aswell and i thought the same thing? maybe down to the resolution? anyway aside from that seemed impressive but not much better than my older Desire HD

Dandle · 19 Jul 2011 at 20:40

I haven't seen one with a pink tint yet(know four people with them), I think you have a faulty handset. Out of interest what screen do you have?

[TW]Fox · 19 Jul 2011 at 22:40

How do I tell? I took the phone to CPW this evening and swapped it for another - its not pink now.

It isn't as sharp as my Desire, mind. A real shame.

Cant seem to copy texts over from my Desire

willhub · 19 Jul 2011 at 22:42

Mine has a pink tint depending on the angle I view it at, if I view it dead on there is none, so it ain't a problem for me. I find the screen really sharp.

Does the extra resolution seem apparent to you? Especially in web browsing?
