JEEEZ... According to this wiki nearly EVERY HTC device is "transflective" meanwhile NONE of them are! What the hell is going on here? Do people just have no clue??? This wiki is used by a lot of folks as "official" so this is ridiculous.
Im sure HTC would love for this issue to stay confused, but the display on the Advantage is CLEARLY transmissive. To anyone who doesnt understand, a TRANSFLECTIVE display means the device is viewable in FULL sun CLEARLY with NO BACKLIGHT. The screen will have a kind of interesting greeinsh look. Turning up a massive backlight to MAX and overriding the sunlight and glare while killing the battery is NOT "transflective". That is just using massive illumination in a TRANSMISSIVE display to make it viewable.
TRANSMISSIVE = TRANSMITS LIGHT - ie - with a backlight
TRANSFLECTIVE = REFLECTS LIGHT - ie USES the sun to light the screen IN ADDITION to being able to TRANSMIT light with a backlight if you want
REFLECTIVE = ONLY able to reflect light = USELESS in the dark
TRANSMISSIVE = cheap and sucks and being pushed on consumers by crappy manufacturers
REFLECTIVE = useless dinosaur
TRANSFLECTIVE = the ONLY decent display technology which is becoming EXTINCT as manufacturers successfully pull one over on the consumer with the help of "wikis" like this that lie.
8 out of 9 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
