I think the wallpaper doesn't help, but it is, like suggested, something to do with how Sony have made it a brighter etc. screen than the Droid DNA. Viewing angles is the most unimportant screen factor of a phone screen. Brightness, sharpness, contrast etc. all are more important factors in what makes a good screen in my opinion. I honestly can't understand why viewing angles are bought up in reviews etc.
Edit: I take back what I said to some extent, I think the wallpaper has a bigger factor in this than I have previously said!
Even the Droid DNA has 'weaker' viewing angles than the One X (according to one review I've seen). So that means the wallpaper is very significant in this mystery...
But it is the brightness and contrast which I can about! A reviewer has said this has better sunlight legibility than the iPhone 5. So, the screen IS the best we'll see until Sony 2H flagship...

Why does the Z spec list say it supports microSD upto 32 GB while for ZL it says supports 64 GB microSD? Will the Z support 64GB and 128 GB microSD cards?
Btw. Xperia Z is slated to be outed in India latest by March, with some stores claiming a Feb launch

Everything is Amazing and great about this phone except for one thing and that is its Android OS and i cannot stand Android. Would have been far slicker with Windows Phone. |

Pretty impressive. I'm assuming both phones suffered no scratches, dents or chips from that demonstration? Would've liked to have seen a close-up of both devices after the drop test, though from what I could see both looked to be totally unscathed.
Xperia S in white ROCKS!! |

The rumored price of XZ is around $850 US     . Very high price in my opinion and a lot more than any other phone on the market.

I used WindowsPhone before I got Arc.
And must say WP is a boring UI... Of course to my taste.
But the best in Android is FEATURES.
Nothing beats that ATM.

Won't believe that for a second. Some fool has gone and converted ~£530 to $, forgetting VAT etc. It won't be more expensive than a 32gb iP5 or maybe be even cheaper than a 16gb one. |

You are probably right, I am expecting it to be < $700 and the ZL < $ 650 |

Could anyone answer what sort of problems I might run into if I wanted to get the Z for use with rogers LTE here in Canada? I have heard the Z only supports some compatable bands and am wondering how it might affect usage. |
