AMOLED vs. SLCD on the HTC Desire

AMOLED vs. S-LCD match. S-LCD does well in contrast and color reproduction though not so well when it comes to the promised lower power usage and sunlight legibility.

You have probably heard threes a Global AMOLED shortage, which has forced makers like HTC to switch from AMOLED to S-LCD for some on its models like the HTC Desire.

S-LCD was sharper than AMOLED and offered better color reproduction along with better contrast. AMOLED parried with more vibrant colors and darker blacks.

Viewing angles on both HTC Desire phones turned out to be very good but the S-LCD handled vertical angles better while the AMOLED screen did better when titled sideways.
