Can you tell me if the text displays as clear and crisp as a smartphone? Thank you!

Yes, the picture is crisp and clear! I'm very happy with my purchase. The screen also cuts back on situational glare and darkness depending on the angle at which you are looking at it. So in other words just as good as a smartphone screen if not better

Probably not as crisp as my 1st gen Droid, the pixels are smaller on the phone. This is a great monitor. The crispness of the monitor seems to be more influenced by the type of font that is used than any innate shortcomings of the device itself.

I was so impressed with how crisp and clear this monitor was I purchased a 2nd one so I could have two side by side. I use two similar size monitors side by side at my job and they are not nearly as crisp and clear as these monitors when using the same resolution. I doubt you will ever get the same resolution as a smart phone but they are also only 3 or 4 inches and I find that the 27" screen size is preferable for my use and are much more crisp than any other brand of the same size and I am very pleased with how they work. They are an excellent value for the money.

No, but I wouldn't expect any monitor to be that crisp. For the price, I am very happy with the LG. I have two 27" next to each other.

it certainly doesnt have the same quality as ones such as Retina Displays or the new galaxies but its damn close. make sure you set the settings on both the monitor and the computer display or else the monitor would continuously try to adjust color because it the settings aren't set right.

Mine is quite readable, even in a darkened room. I put my handsets right back in their cradles after use. Could this be the reason?

I cannot ascertain picture quality. I am pleased with my 4 and the pictures are good. They cannot be compared, unfortunately, with the latter version of 6 or Android (greater crispness, and low light resolution).

The screen is 100% clear on the iPhone. It does, however, have a bluish tinge when exposed to the sun. This is noticeable to me when the screen is not activated, but so long as the screen is on, there doesn't appear to be distortion of the color. Bright sun makes most LCD screens more difficult to read, but I haven't noticed any changes in readability in bright conditions compared to my display prior to using this screen protector.

The app in its current form will run perfectly well at 2x / full screen size, and with the font size reduced to the smallest setting, you get a fair amount of content per page. The real question is whether or not they'll put any effort into making it better, e.g. color images, multimedia, etc.

No. I understand it handles data well, but I don't text or e-mail from phone. It is one of the last non-smart phones, but has lots of touch screen and advanced features. It has "only" 3 main screens, but that's 2-1/2 more than I use. You can move icons you don't use to "the end" and only see the ones you need. I'm not too hapy with the way it interacts with my Motorola bluetooth earpiece, but it's minor annoyance. If you're lookiing to stave off HAVING to go to a smart phone, this is a good upgrade from basic/flip type.

A couple of reviews commented about the texting functionality not meeting their expectation - too slow or one even said he effectively could not use it to send texts (no detail provided). Given that there is also a great many comments about Peek continually improving the service, has the texting functionality improved? Thinking about getting my 13 yo his first cell phone, but this might be a more functional (QWERTY keyboard) and less expensive solution especially given how text-heavy teens are.

Its pretty good, its not fully black and white but nice. Specially when reading in a darker place and with the device light on.

That's incorrect, it is a true 1080p screen. The only difference is how the pixels are laid out, and I can say with confidence, the picture is amazing. I think most people's experience with the pentile display is with tablets and smart phones, where you are mere inches away from the screen and the pixels become noticeable. On this 60 inch screen, if you're less than three feet from the screen, you do notice the pixels. Beyond that, however, the picture is incredibly sharp, crisp, and vibrant. Pentile also uses less energy than regular displays, which saves energy costs, and the screen produces almost no heat. That's incorrect, it is a true 1080p screen.

Maybe but to say the truth I am quite desapointate by the resolution. It is un-readable. the cuality is very low so I guess if your screem if not good it will be worth. Good luck.

I just took mine outside, It is a little difficult to read in bright light, as far as the ebooks, that are on a white background, it is much better. Hope that helps!

The screen is a matte finish, not nearly as glossy as a plasma or a high contrast LCD. Resolution is decent, but is definitely a matte finish, no gloss.

Images (photos, windows...) very good to excellent, text fair to good, depending on font and settings

Hello...No this is not a smart phone. A good phone for texting with large bold text but not a smart phone.Darrell

It's running android 4.04 and the screen is the big problem for me, not high resolution like the Google nexus 7 and 10 which are the ones I use the most. The screen looks grainy to me but I'm old with old eyes.

The screen is glossy, but does not reflect as much as you would think. Also, the text and picture quality is very clear and detailed right out the box. The best edition ever to my simple, clean, but powerful home office.

I have the HD version which is very clear and I would definitely recommend it. I can't even tell the difference between my friend's screen and my own and they don't have a screen protector. The only thing that stinks is you still get the finger smudges but that happens when you don't have a screen protector too and you can hardly notice when you are using your iPad it's just when you shut it off or a light is glaring right on it. Otherwise very clear!
