i was reading some blogs saying that htc changed lcd manufacturers.. the first screens were made by samsung and these new ones are made by who knows... has anyone noticed anything different?

I have seen two names regarding the screens ... One manufacturer is Epson and the other is Novatec
this is one site i heard it from EVO vs. EVO: Newer models have new displays - HTC Developers
MmmK.
The video is far from credible. Note that one phone has been rooted and is not running stock stuff at all. Also, the guy that made that is an idiot. Seems like only yesterday... http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-4g/107247-interesting-video-showing-latest-evo-compared-1st-ones.html
Taiwan has some very impressive LCD fabs, as does Japan and Korea. And everyone supplies everyone in the tech sector.
Whether you are stock or not won't change the screen quality plus you can see how the back of the phone is a different texture.
Well the point is that there was a change made... even over at xda they have pointed out two different screen manufacturers, and the change with the back cover happened when they switched lcd makers.

Yes my screen is much brighter and white's seems more pure on replacement #3
And why are you on replacement #3 at this point?
You've had 4 Evos already?
What is going so wrong that you've replaced 3 of them?

This is incorrect. There were different suppliers since day one. Difference in screens not a "change" just different.
Same goes for those ........ who keep saying they want a "later" version. Version 3 phones were sold on launch date. Screens from both suppliers sold since launch date.
Not a change, just different.

The only thing that makes me question your theory is that they are no longer selling the 002 version phones. And many of the concerns that people have had, do seem to have been addressed in the phones labeled 003.
So just because they were both available on release day, doesn't necessarily indicate that there were not updates to the hardware midway through the manufacturing process.
LOL no 3 evos. #1 worked flawless for two weeks then it started rebooting 20X a day no matter how many master resets were done. Then Handset number #2 had a problem with the 4 bottom keys LEDs not turning completely off when in sleep mode and draining the battery. Handset number 3 I just got last night no glowing lower keys like #2 but still to early to tell if its going to behave or not.This one has the brightest screen of the first two so it seems indeed some change was made. I'm not holding my breath the general quality of these HTC handsets is disappointing at best. Number 1 was hardware build # 2, two and three are hardware build #3s.

Yeah. There's several problems with that.
First - I don't think it's a theory that rev 3 phones were selling from the get-go unless there are people on these boards lying about their rev numbers.
Second - I have a rev 2 phone with zero issues. Nada. Zip. Dink. None. Got it on 6/6.
Third - You just contradicted your own logic. If the rev number is not indicative of rigid configuration control, and if updates occur midway through the manufacturing process then you can't correlate rev 3 to fixing or addressing anything.
People are drawing a lot of conclusions with few coordinated facts.
The signal to noise level in these forums is way low. There are multiple threads started every other day on the exact same subjects, and any threads with anything to do with quality or problems always has a nice, healthy share of backbiting, arguing, iPhone vs. EVO and Mac vs. PC posts.
It's impossible to gather data here - we're just collecting anecdotes.
And the people are trying to collect and share data are too often either inexperienced with their phones or inexperienced as testers to gather and report all relevant observables.
I can't stop any arguments, but you called what one guy said that he knew as a fact to be a theory.
As Kosh would say - And so, it begins.
2 questions...
Do you work 3rd shift? And did you stop off at the bar on your way home from work this morning?
So, only some EVO's have a 30 fps limitation? Is there a way to know what screen is in my phone?Over at xda, last I checked, the 30 fps change only applied to the Epson-equipped screen models. All that says to me, until all data are in, is that the effort had to focus at a very low level (in code) to get the ball rolling. It didn't imply to me that there's a quality issue prohibiting other revisions from receiving the fix.
