I did not mean to say its the best the display but its a good one. I have played with a K660 and yes its nice and clear and bright. One thing i notice about my K800 is when i put some pictures as wallpapers they look pixelated around the edges of say some peoples faces. Odd.

The C902 also pixelates images as wallpapers, but that's just bad software resizing the image.

I noticed that pixelation on one of my pictures I set as a wallpaper.

If you are viewing a picture and zoom into the part you want as a wallpaper and save that it resizes better and you have a nicer image.

Great comparisons. SE's screens are top notch indeed 256k or not!

The K660i has a particularly bright screen, but Cyber-shot models (K850i and C902) have reflective screens that work better in daylight.

It's more than just colour depth, as the LCDs themselves vary from model to model - depending on power requirements, size, target audience (does it need to be colourful, bright, readable etc?) and so on.

I guess it proves that there's no one single off-the-shelf LCD that has mastered it yet. As said elsewhere, the 16.8M screen on the N82 isn't that good, especially compared to the N95s (and they had two different screens on the N95 and N95 8GB).

I disagree - the BRAVIA displays on SEMCJ handsets is without a doubt, the very best I have seen ever - and definitely a Master of all trades, and a Jack of NONE.

With the RealityMAX engine, and 16.7 million colours on the 2.7 inch Screen on my SO905iCS - there is nothing that can compete.
Sony Alpha.

I have an iphone but i´ve had phones in the past and have friends which have K800, N95, W880 and etc.. Honestly, the screen on the iphone is the best i´ve seen so far and its 16M. Perhaps the quality of the iphone´s screen has a lot to do with contrast, resolution, brightness and etc, but its a 16M screen and I havent seen a 262K screen that tops it.
ps: It´s possible to make phones with 16M and good battery life, just see japanese phones, nokia N series, iphone and etc

I think, iPhone display is not that good. The resolution is surely amazing though. But the color reproduction is not as good as latest SE's. The colors are kinda washed out in iPhone. I compared. Not to mention that black color is not as black as black should be, and of course the white color is not as white as white should be. The difference between blackpoint and whitepoint determines the contrast ratio. That's why iPhone contrast is not that good.

But one thing that iPhone screen blows people away is of course the large diagonal and the large resolution, although pixel density still is lower than QVGA 2.2" for example. But 2.2" vs 3.5"? Well.. quite huge.

Agree. K660i's much better indoors while the other two are slightly worse indoors but are better outdoors.

However, the perfect example of both indoor and outdoor quality is I think, Z770i.
