i all, I would like to check with those who had previously owned a SE K700i and now own a SE K750i.
do u find that the colour of the screen is not as rich as before. for example when u play the game real tennis, the colours of the screen seem a little faded. and also the caller picture (which was taken with a k700i) seem terrible too. Is the colour Yellow a little dull?
further more some of my personnel pictures on my k700i seem to be brighter and richer compared to the k750i. please help... I really hope and assume that its something to do with the settings

hey, I noticed that too! The screen has less contrast as the K700i. I just compaired it with the S700i and well... it is a bit disapointing quality if you compair it to those phones, you would expect more.

yes the gamma/contrast setting on the K750 are different from K750.
much lighter, which will make the same graphics that look good on K700, look faded on K750.

I noticed that too. I transfered some Angelina Jolie pics on k750, wich I edited in Photoshop to be perfect on k700 fullscreen (and they were perfect on k700), and they are not rich in colors as the used to be on k700, and there are huge pixels all over the pics.... But I noticed that if you hold your phone under angle smaller than 90 degrees, pic is perfect. Try it.

I agree, the screen looks washed out and white. The k700i seemed to be better with less colours? I wonder if this can be corrected with further firmware updates. Lets hope so...

oh man, i really thought that i was the only who was facing this problem... apparently its a world wide k750i issue... heh heh heh

Washed out colors could be a delebarate design decision. Such displays make better allround performance, i.e. in the outdoor lights and sunlight, the display is more readable and works better.

me too ... i thought i was the only one .. haha ... i compared same pic in k700 and k750 ... better in k700 , especially if you see the pixels ... k700 richer than k750

The screen of K750 is not poorer than the K750, it just uses a different gammasetting, just like different computermonitors have different gammasettings. Graphics allways look different on different monitors.
This means when creating graphics for K750, themes etc., you need to work proffesionally and use colorprofiles in your graphics editor to emulate the screen of K750.
Doing this will ensure graphics look the way it was intended on K750, and thus better than on K700.
Having said that, I would have prefered they kept the gamma setting of the K700, would have made things easier for those creating graphic content and alot easier for the average user.

So how do u go about emulating the gamma settings of the pictures to cater for the k750i?
thks in advance for replying
does anyone know what software i can use to convert any video files to 3gpp files? the quicktime software is only limited to mov and QT files
Posted by numb
Well, its a litle difficult to give an exact answer, as it depends on the graphics editor you use. But I use Adobe Photoshop CS2, and in that you open the picture you want to work with, then select assign profile from the edit menu, and select a monitor profile that fits, should be a profile with gammasetting of approx 1.5.
When you do this you will see how the picture will actually look at the K750, then adjust levels, contrast, colors etc. to fit how you want it to look, select save for web and save the image as .jpg 80% quality.
It will now look rather dark in the normal windows preview because this does not use the colorprofile, but on the phone it will look close to the image you created in Photoshop because of the gammasetting of the K750 screen.
If you use another graphics editor you will need to figure out how to assign a coloprofile in that specific editor.

A simple trick according to the explanation of gamma settings
transfer these images to your K750i
they look fantastic on the screen, isn't it!!?
what i did is i edited the image with Adobe Photoshop 6.0:
1. just set the brightness to a lower level with photoshop (minus 20 -> suggested value) until it looks dark in your computer screen.
2. set the contrast to a higher level (+20).
what looks dark on the computer, will look stunning on the K750i.
3. then SAVE AS the image into *.PNG -> it's the most important thing since *.JPG files always look blurry in the phone! -> according to this topic i've made before: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=97379
Please, read the topic.
Note: The brightness and contrast level I wrote is just exact only if you use Adobe Photoshop 6.0, too. If you use another version of Photoshop or another software, you must find the correct setting. All I can say, if you decrease the brigthness level - say - by 24, you have to increase the contrast level by the same number, i.e. 24.
Then, don't forget to save it as *.PNG. If you don't believe, try to save the image in *.JPG and *.PNG, then transfer both to your phones, then you'll see what I mean.

The screen color itself.... it's amazing!
The gradation is smoother than S700i. Really... it's bright, it's contrast, it's smooth, it's perfect white. The color is no doubt richer than any SE phones ever.
A big "BUT"... But, it only occurs after you set those pictures into the right brightness/contrast setting. Needs a little more effort, but it's worth it seeing the screen so perfect.
I've been there so I know how it's like.
Yes, the screen is fabulous, the brighter among all SE phone - by far.
The proof is games display. Except the "faded" Super Real Tennis, all games are shown brighter and better in K750i, even when it's compared to S700i display. Just install more and more high graphic games, you'll see what I mean by saying that K750i screen is in fact fantastic. The color is so bright and still has high contrast.

because it's JPG!
simply save the image as *.PNG, there gone those huge pixels.
it won't be perfect 'till you correct the gamma setting of course.
Ever you guys noticed why the Eternal theme can be looked so sharp, but can't my downloaded image be looked as sharp? It's simply because the images used to create the Eternal theme is all in PNG format while your own downloaded image is in JPG.
Guys, we have a phone with a fabulous display. All we have to do is just edit those images.

My God, Amras, Your techinque of playing with the brightness and settings sure did wonders for my k750i. Thanks alot my friend!
i was this close to bringing my phone to the sony-ericsson service centre today... hahaha
thks again
Posted by Amras
I learn, do some trial and error until I get the best combination of both settings. Sure you can do this, too.
And don't forget to save the image as *.PNG. Hehehe.
Anyway, here they are, more sample images you can transfer to your K750i. They look stunning on the phone screen. You won't regret that you have this phone, guys. The display is beautiful.

Noone else interested? I think it's an important issue. Nobody wants to have their 262k color phone to be worse than the 65k one.

Ok i compared the differences between the same image saved in jpg and in png....and wow there is a noticeable difference. The ones saved in png do not have small grainy spots here and there, and are a little smoother. Here are a couple images i made for my k750i..check them out, make sure you save them in .png
