Bionic Screen Sharpness and Responsiveness

[billyk]

I am sure that if Moto wanted to push out a patch that improved the display, it would simply be incorporated into the upcoming update. Why risk the stability/success of this highly anticipated Bionic update with a pre-release that changes the baseline environment for the main release? Can't see it.

I've thought from the start that the Bionic display is the right combination of readability (indoor and outdoor), aesthetics (color rendering) and usability (battery savings). So I've been a big fan right from the start.

I recently changed from the stock launcher to Go Launcher Ex with the ICS theme. IMO, it's beautiful and I continue to be reminded of just how great this display is every time I grab my Bionic.

I will say I've noticed my screen seems to be brighter. I'm like blue, I never had a problem with the screen in the first place. But I'm telling you the phone is a smidgeon brighter than it was, which might account for the sharpness increase you're seeing. Don't see why they'd do that without telling us though, especially while we're on the edge of ours eats for a real update...

Could it be a pre-update that lays the groundwork for the upcoming OTA? I haven't noticed any changes nor has any version numbers changed on my phone though.

How does that shield work with the beveled edge of the bionic? Does it wrap, or does it need to be trimmed in order to exclude the beveled edges?
We installed the shields that came with the phone and they were ****. Why would or should you have to trim a shield that comes with a phone in the first place? Really!

I have noticed! But it might have something to do with me tearing off a cheap Verizon screen protector and replacing it with Zagg Invisible Shield........

This is an interesting topic.

I had a Skinomi protector on my Bionic which I found to be the very best among those I've tried. But, while the Skinomi is pefectly cut (it excludes the bevel exactly), it produces an "edge" that I feel constantly when I hold the Bionic in my hand. It's the edge of the protector that is made somewhat more prominent by the beveled edge that moves down and away from the protector.

Although I have another Skinomi waiting in the wings, going "nude" is working very well for me right now!

I've honestly always been happy with the screen. I think the ones who had problems with it were the ones searching for things to complain about.

I agree. People complain complain complain........

Guess I’m one to complain about the bionics screen, I don’t care much for its pixilated display. Coming from an iPhone 4, it was def a downgrade in screen resolution by far. I guess the size of the bionics screen makes up for its resolution IMO. Everyone is going to have something negative to say about a device. If they ever offer the option to build your own, you will still have those that will complain about something.

I love the screen on the bionic!
