Pocket PC Screen Quality Comparisons
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 08:00 AM
"Screen quality is not only dependent on the resolution of the screen; much more that of of the basic "cast" of it (is it yellowish? bluish? purplish?) and whether the colors are vivid enough. Unfortunately, most PDA screens on the market are pretty lousy. The two main reasons for this are as follows: Pocket PC's with QVGA (Quarter VGA) generally suffer from a strong color cast (slight purple on the iPAQ 36xx/37xx series, very strong purple cast on the 38xx and yellow from most of the newer, lower-end iPAQ's, particularly from at angles, mostly from below with the iPAQ 1930/1940 and the 4150). Furthermore, their "contrast" is pretty lowish. "Contrast" means, in this case, that they just can't render some colors as well and vividly as they should be. Most screens have tremendous problems with "warm" colors (mostly with red)."
This is a great article that compares the screen quality of various Pocket PCs. Screen quality is hugely important to me, and I'm often disappointed with the screens I have to put up with on otherwise superb devices. :? Give this article a read!
