This. Although I haven't tested the E7, I generally couldn't agree more with your colleague.

I suggest R&D teams concerned with screen technology should focus more on humans and ergonomics rather than strictly on paper specs.

I think we can be 100% positive that the complaints about the Japan made N900 LCD display will be similar for most and rather containable.

-small characters when not zoomed due to high res screen with small screen diameter
-low colour rendition in sunlight
-blacks not beautiful

But non of those disadvantages of the N900 LCD are as aggressive in nature as the tyresome side effects experienced by some with Pentile.

Needless to say, I am going to keep my career as lab rat for Samsung AMOLED research as short as possible even though my friends phone will show a brighter screen in the desert.
