Deleted first post. Stock screen is a no go. We need a new LCD all together
I was thinking about doing this, and if it is matte then that would make a difference. Just not sure if it is worth it, if the Adam comes out soon I may pick one up.
If you flip the Gtablet upside down, you will notice the angles look much better. Not sure why they mounted in a manner that has weaker angles, but it seems the most cost efficient way for a better display is if the connector, ribbon and bezel mount accommodated a 180 degree rotation
Adam is still in marketing concept stage for customer messaging. No word on their blog yet on distribution or mass production agreements by a contract manufacturer. Probably March release, if I were a betting person.
Hrmm well I Still wanna try this but I Probably wont get to it Untill atleast 2 more weeks. Broke till next pay check -_- Black Friday Deals Drained me....If all turns out good Ill post results.

Ok so I was Reading the Hardware Breakdown thread and saw that the Model for the lcd display used in the g tablet Is used on notebooks. So if I Buy a Replacement Screen of the same model im assuming it would work if put on correctly right? Well the one in the G tablet looks to be Matte Finish type which explains bad viewing angles but I found this website that sells 2 different types of lcd Displays that should be interchangable. the Next time i Get Payed im Gonna buy the Glossy Version wich should provide Better Viewing Angles and Superior Crispness and see if it work as planed. Could this be the Screen Problem Solution we have been waiting for? Heres the Link
http://www.laptopscreen.com/English/screen-part-number/B101AW06~V.1/
Hopfully it works with our tablet and Improves the Screen Angles! This might be worse for outdoors though. if you click 'Info' on glossy it explains more!

This sounds great let me know how it works out! My gTab arrived with about 10 dead pixels (most of them are small and i cant see them without being picky) and I am eager to try something else.
I thought viewsonic would be more picky about what kind of screens they put in their stuff.
These laptop screens might be the same, keep in mind. My netbook exhibits the same solarizing effect as my GTab - you just can't see it since you usually look at it head on.

I know all my laptops have better viewing angles or at least richer blacks. So I do have some hope at improvement, since the panel in mine is so messed up.
Does anyone have any experience with these exact panels? any recommendations?
any reviews on this!
the screen from the Dell Inspiron Duo (if it has the same single connector) seems to have a lot better specs. It's supposed to be 1366*768 with much better viewing angles than this piece.
In fact, I'm considering returning my GTab for one.

3.5 hour battery life? Ew! Though the screen is nice; if it fits I wouldn't mind getting one and putting it in.

Battery life isn't issue #1 for me. Usability is, and that's where the gtablet starts falling off for me. I feel that I can do a lot better for the money.

I think the issue with the Dell screen is going to be the connector. I get the feeling nobody else is using the tiny non-locking Molex connectors the gtablet uses.
To those looking for reviews, just Google "Pixel Qi Review", I can't post links otherwise I would do so. There's several articles on Engadget, and a few videos on Gizmodo and Slashgear. The idea behind Pixel Qi is that in sunlight you can disable the backlight, and the sunlight is reflected off the back (inside) of the screen; this makes the sunlight act as a backlight, resulting in being more viewable outdoors. Also, the display can be switched between 'normal' LCD and 'e-paper' style as well. Really, the biggest reason I'm interested is the viewing angles. Netbook LCDs have horrible viewing angles (the G Tablet's screen is a Netbook LCD), so I would love to see this tablet with a better display.
Pilxel qi seems to way way more expensive priced at almost 300$, Which is almost the price of another tablet. Also do they even make pixel qi screens that work on this tablet? I couldnt find it on the website

I just might, but i waited for a few weeks trying to pick one up. most of the pixel defects are small and right at the edge of the screen. there is one kind of annoying one right in the middle though :/

Return it! Complain! get a New one! dont stand for somthing less than satisfactory!
has anyone tried swapping out the screen?
It is my only gripe about the tablet lol.
Honestly i dont care though because all other tablets are priced 100-200 more and have lower hardware specs.
I can live with the screen considering it really isnt too bad... just by comparison it isnt as good as the iPad.
I cant compare 7" tablets though... because ... frankly they are 7 inches... you squeeze more pixels into a smaller screen and it will look nicer... simple as that.
If you think about it... us early g-tab adopters can hack ours up and when we want a new one ... probably sell a hacked up gtab for a pretty penny when we are done with it.
I'm not sure why there are so many complaints. How often are you going to look at a tablet at sharp angles?? The only legitimate angle that someone mentioned was if the tablet was laying flat on a table in front of you and you were reading an eBook or something.
Maybe it's just the way I use it, but I don't have a problem with the screen at all.

Landscape Mode is Fine but I Cant stand it when Im Trying to read a Book in Portrait mode. Kinda have to tilt it and it just looks stupid. This tablet is Best Landscape only. Thats why It Would be Nice to have a Better Screen With Better Angles. Theres 3 Versions of the LCD Screen I Mentioned on the first post. I Wonder if one of those would fit....hmmm....
i wanna make it lcd2 or super amoled and get that SEXY crisp ..... possiblitys if not oh well

Not possible. The only screen that it would be able to use is the super lcd that it normally uses. Other screens even if you could find one the same exact size, resolution, and connections probably wouldn't work properly if at all.

awww darn i wish there was some modification cause i would like amoled or lcd2 cause im jelious of the htc one x / v
Just take care of that lcd you have right now. Im having a huge issue with the lcd i have right now, there are 3 versions as far as i can see. The so called hitachi-60H00519, the Sony-60H00623, and the one i have on this phone which i dont have a clue about it and it seems like no one else does either, 60H00532(I dont even know the brand). It looks exactly like the Sony version but sure enough i bought a Sony lcd thinking that it was going to do the job and nothing. Doesnt turn on or anything. So people pay good attention to those numbers when you have to change yours so that you dont run into what i did. Worst thing is that i cant find my version on Ebay or anything.
Hello
My I9023's SLCD screen is busted and I need to replace it.
Can I use an AMOLED one like the one on the I9020?
Screen Replacement
From what I read. Those two type of screens are not interchangeable. Something to do with the digitizer stuff thing. That's why BLN apps are harder to implement on SLCD types than their AMOLED brethrens. Better save up and sell your broken phone for parts and get the AMOLED equipped Nexus S if your still up to it. Or I could be wrong. Just my 2 cents buddy.

I'm in the same situation with my i9023 but i'd like to repair it by myself. I've read some threads that after mounting the new screen everything works but the touch, does this happen with both brethrens (SLCD, AMOLED) or just one in particular?
What are your screen viewing angles like? Mine seems to be quite poor, it washes out off centre quite a lot. Im wondering if I have a bad unit or if its just normal for the N5.
Looks good to me. Haven't received mine so I don't know if it's a bad unit.

Not compared to what im used to it isnt. My last few devices have been AMOLED screens (no comparing to these, just a comment) or the HTC One LCD3 which has perfect viewing angles with no changes to the screen at any angles at all. Its somewhat worse than my Nexus 10.

That's normal for LCD, that's called backlight. Nothing faulty here. I also own the HTC One and it has the same effect as well when you tilt the screen.
EDIT: I see what you mean now, when tilting the screen exactly like you do (45 degrees vert/hor). It still is not a faulty unit, it's just that LG has less prevented the backlight from coming through. Maybe its because of the slim bevel. I have seen it on other LG devices before though.
To answer your question, I think it's normal for the N5 .

Well my HTC One doesnt change at all at any angle. The screen is perfect even if you look at it from the edge of the phone all colours and lighting are perfect!
Im fine with it if its normal for the N5, but if there are better units id prefer one of those.

Both are HD Widgets with colorform add-on.
This does not seem right. Now i don't have my N5 yet, but on my N4 i can look at it from almost 180 degrees and it loses almost nothing no matter how i look at it.
I have the same problem. When I turn my Nexus 180° my screen isn't visible anymore. Is it normal?

I see what you did there.
But on topic, when you see a phone screen is IPS you kind of expect it to look great from off angles.

I totally agree with you. But dude, it looks great in any way.It has also to do with brightness. Throttle your brightness slider all the way to right en your N5 has perfect viewing angle. Even with 90 degrees. I had the Z1 before the Nexus 5. I must say the Nexus 5 does a waaaay beter job than the Z1. So I ain't complaining right now.
Might be a personal thing. After all, everything looks beter than TFT(regarding viewing angles).

Yup. I spoiled myself since my first LCD monitor was an IPS screen so when I look at TN screens I can't stand them.
The poor viewing angles of my Nexus 4 has been one of my biggest gripes with the device. I popped into the carphone warehouse today to check the viewing angles of the Nexus 5 and from what I can see it suffers from the same problem Not as bad as the Z1 but not as good as devices like the HTC One from what I can see. Shame.
Getting my N5 today so i'll do some experimenting. my N4 has perfect viewing angles from anywhere. only very slight discoloration. nothing like OP's picture.

So good displays are out there on the N4... I'm on my second device but both have had pretty terrible displays
yeah i guess i just got lucky, and if that video comparing it with the oppo is legit that i'm insanely disappointed. If the screen is that bad i'm returning mine. I'd love to have the better camera and some of the other features but i'm not going to keep a garbage screen.

Crappy screen is a no go. I will receive mine on saturday. If it also has this **** angles, i will return it.
FU LG for producing such a ****ty Display. I want HTC to produce the next nexus!!
I know i made a few posts criticizing it but this is the best phone of 2017 in my opinion and i love it so much and there's also one weird thing i like about it and it's that it has lcd and not oled and that's cause somehow i find lcd way more comfortable to look at and it's just better for me.. But also i wish htc will use lcd in their upcoming sequels cause i will sure be switching to them i also got my dad to buy one a few days ago too and im gonna try to get my friend to buy one too.. I want htc to survive so i will try to help out as much as i can this is literally the best phone ever and it has the best camera when using google's camera app with hdr+ on.
i get surprised too with the screen!
Screen
Hmm... interesting. AMOLED has really nice blacks, but tbh, you don't really notice the difference between the dark grey of LCD and pitch black of AMOLED when immersed in content. But if do try and look, the blacks are much better than LCD. However, I do agree about the LCD being more comfortable to look at; the blue tint of AMOLED is more than likely to the layout of pixels (Pentile arrangement rather than RGB, like on OnePlus 5).
