Where do you find out what type of screen you have without using adb?

Just add the brightness widget to your screen and cycle between them.

If it instantly switches to the different brightness settings then its a Epson.

If it fades when switching the brightness settings then its a nova

Install one of the free data loggers and then do a search on Nova and Epson. Only one will show up.

i opened mine up and found the part number its either 256 or the 314 one

Is there a better screen between the two? I have the nova and personally i think it sucks.....

I really could care less what version of screen I have on my phones.. I know its the Epson by switching the brightness...but otherwise it's a screen...colors maybe better on one than the other...but really...it's not a deal braker for me. I'm just glad to have my New Evo as of today...It's 180 from what I used to have (TP2)...and I love it.

i think we are getting off topic....i only getting the screen because mine broke........from the ebay listing the guy said its version 003 and thats the one with 314 so i bought it and let see how it comes out waiting for my package to come in

I posted this over at XDA, but thought it was worth sharing my findings here;
I just received my other EVO the other day and was wondering why there were such great differences between the two displays. I found that the one I've had for months is a Novateck and the new one is an Epson. The Nova is HW rev 02 where the Epson is HW rev 03. Both are rooted running the same latest Netarsky Kernel and OMJs latest ROM.
1) Confirmed that the Nova panel transitions smoothly between brightness levels where the Epson is instant.
2) Both have the same amount of poor transitional latency between mid-tones(grays) and whites/backs. Both have the same excellent transitional latency between whites and blacks (nice for scrolling text).
3) Viewing angels is exact between the panels. Both fade yellows to white at any viewing angle grater than 30 deg.
4) The Novatech panel has far greater apparent dynamic range whereas the Epson seems flat with a yellowish tint to it. The Nova has a slight but pleasant bluish hue cast with just the slightest hint of magenta. Empirically the Nova seems to 'pop' with more vibrant colors than the Epson.
5) Both EVOs score comparatively using Quadrant, LinPack, and FPS2D.
6) This is not releated, but worthy of a note; The New rev 03 EVO has a much better camera than the rev 02 EVO. The rev 03 EVO has much less noise and performs far better in low light. The differences are remarkable.
