Good vs Bad screens (pictures + videos of both)

Ok, so the other thread was closed down due to a flame war.

Theres 2 types of Sprint Touches. One has a screen just like the Sprint Mogul in which you can view it at any angle without having it get dark or washed out white. Then theres the Sprint touch that has has a terrible screen in which I have seen a lot of Touches with. Its the screen that has a very terrible viewing angle. Only way to get a acceptable picture on it is to hold it directly head on. If you tilt it up or down or sideways then the picture washes out bad. And viewing videos or pictures in landscape is nearly impossible unless you tilts it a bit So which one do you have?

Summary of important points from other thread.

1. It was believed over there by some that all verizon's branded touch's have good screens while sprint sreens stink. Someone over there who was employee at sprint said he saw a good sprint one, and that he checked over 20 sprints and all had bad screens much to his dismay.

2. it has nothing to do with MFG date. To

I got three accounts recently with sprint.
1: mogul swap to touch : bad screen
Touch seemed refurbed (fingerprints etc.)
2. mogul swap to touch : bad screen
touch seemed brand new
3. touch : good screen!
touch seemed refurbed (fingerprints etc.)



From the screenshots below you can see that not only is the viewing angle better, also the color is more realistic with less blue. These phones are running different roms (explains gray vs blue title bars)
