SLCD has 40% less draw than current LCD? That's new to me! No really, that's new info to me! Got some links for this?
My current inc screen is very viewable in direct sunlight. Dunno what the problem is out there?

This does a pretty good job of comparing the two. I would prefer the SLCD screen right now. Any way of telling which is which?
And the iPhone uses the SLCD, so wouldn't the screens be pretty much the same if they switched from AMOLED?
The iPhone's screen has a higher resolution. That would still be an obstacle to overcome in comparisons.
Does anyone think that Apple, which uses Samsung panels for the iPhone 4 and is in a patent suit with HTC, may have strong armed Samsung into "artificially constraining" supplies so that HTC would have to switch to use a different tech?

Don't break your phone.
I just pulled those numbers out of thin air. Just making the point that AMOLED's increased efficiency will offset LCD's greater visibility outdoors.
Oh, and I found a couple of sources confirming the 40% number. Organic LED - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

I love the Incredible BUT I have found the screen washout in bright sunlight to be increasingly frustrating. If you wear polarized sunglasses, the problem is worse.
Don't get me wrong, I love this phone, but after a while it will die, no denying that.
I have the amoled, and it's fine for me, even with polarized sun glasses. Yes, I'll admit it's a bit washed out, but I can still read everything.
Um, all of my past phones work to this day...
Same here. I don't see what the fuss is about.
Seriously, I was concerned about the Inc's sunlight-viewing capabilities after everything I'd read on the interwebs, but I just crank it up to full brightness and I've not had any issues. It doesn't seem to be any worse or better than the old LCD panel on my 2G iPhone. I dunno, maybe I'm just holding it wrong.
I think I have more of an issue with how mirror-like most phone screens are -- and that seems universal from device to device. Keep catching sight of my ugly mug when I'm trying to use the screen.
the iphone addressed that pretty well with their matt finish screen covers. i cut one down to size for use on my eris.
i think they are called anti-glare screens. its just a screen protector with a matte finish.
Just got my Inc today. Took it outside to check out camera and i could see the screen very well in direct sunlight. Pictures are beautiful. I have no idea what screen I have. Love it anyhow
