Is you Touch screen terrible?

[nobrakes]

viewing angle on mine is not as good as moguls

my manufacturer date is 29-oct-2007

if you have a sprint touch with a good viewing angle, can you post your manufacturer date?

[jamesjay]

OP, you can add this to the top if you would like to show people what you mean.

Will do, good video to show what i mean by a small view angle.

Been there, done that. I am on my 3rd Touch and all have the terrible small view angle. Now I am huntying around for a Verizon Touch screen so i can replace it myself.

Huh? Well, I guess it is a bit squisshy. that dont bother me as much as the view angle. In landscape mode if you are watching a vid or picture its inpossible to enjoy it unless you tilt is a bit to the left i believe.

Hey......... htc wont sell me parts. Who can I contact to buy a Verizon Touch screen. I looked around thru google and did not find any good results..

[jamesjay]

there is quite a few places to order, but IMO you would be wise to find out the origin of the better screen before you buy.. or else you might pay a buck fiddy for another bad screen.

also answer my last question im confused now. i can tell you my viewing angle is bad, but so is the one in that youtube video. you can see it completely polarize like 15° from the center.

Well that video is not bad. It truly shows the polarization when its tilted. Specially you can notice it it you tilt it upwards or downwards, and it starts almost as soon as you begin to tilt it. If you have a good screen you don't see polarization until maybe 40 degrees or so. Put it this way.... if your touch looks like the Moguls screen when tilted (no polarization) then you have a good screen. jamesjay, if your touch does look like the one on that video then consider yourself one of the unlucky ones that got the terrible screen.

lol dude you had me totally confused. scroll up. i asked if anyone could make a video of the better one. You had me thinking that was the better one the whole time. The reason i asked is i have a suspicion sprint tried to cut back cost, but someone in the other thread said he saw a good sprint screen and i never have. Speaking of the other thread you might want to change the title of one of these as "delete me". It's better to consolidate the information.

I really doubt that. The plastic touch sensor would cause glare not polarization. There are many different kinds of lcd's. The kind i have on my touch is almost definately a TN.
