actually it is more the non-linear shape of the pixels. linear (square) pixels ALWAYS look better. just like back in the day of the first HD plasmas with non standard resolutions, the pixels were rectangular. also pentile is not that bad, it is the RGBW pentile that looks bad to me. the every fourth white sub-pixel is just irritating.
Galaxy S II HD Lte, is this the nexus/prime?

The RGBW display on the Bionic didn't bother me. I thought the screen was nice. You could see the nonlinear matrix, but not at a level that detracted from the crispness of it. You could really dial down the text and it would remain readable.
I just LOVE super amoled+ displays (except they seem a little dark, as I am used to a sheet of white under the color arrangement.) The contrast and color are beautiful. Quality photos look amazing and so does video.
Those issues are apples to oranges, and I am not sure there is a winner, just a personal preference. What killed me today was loosing data on the Bionic 5 times and not being able to communicate via data on break at school. For 300 bucks, I figured the LTE/CDMA radio trade offs would have come around. I don't think LTE is stable or that LTE devices are good, unless you are in the big city or airport. Then it must be nice.
That would be my one desire for the Nexus, a good LTE radio capable of hand offs, and a stable connection.
Verizon NEEDS a Samsung of high caliber.

i agree with you on your opinions of displays. the RGBW arrangement on Bionic wouldnt bother me enough to not buy it. I am being very picky when i slam it! i just MUCH prefer Samoled. Pentile or not. Pick your evil. I can tell you one thing if the prime is the GS2HD, i would be absolutely tickled pink!!!!! if the prime does anything better or styled/crafted better, than hell yeah, ill take it as a plus!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't all pentile screens have RGBW sub pixel arrangements? Isn't that what a pentile screen is?

Maybe, I hope so. Even more, it's mostly opinion anyway. I have the Samsung Fascinate which is a Galaxy S 800 x 480 SAMOLD Pentile display. I LOVE it. I have zero issues with how it looks. Other owners may feel differently. I don't think one can quantify everyone's perception of the screen as much as folks try to do sometimes.

I agree. If the prime or whatever you want to call it is yhr S2HD then I will finally retire the good old OG Droid.

I believe but may be mistaken, that some pentile have an RGBG stripe. They replaced the second green with white for brighter screens.
I was under the impression "pentile" referred to the subpixel arrangement with the white subpixel. If some include a second green, then what exactly does "pentile" refer to? The rectangular arrangement?
PenTile RBGW is the PenTile arrangement with the white subpixel. However, PenTile refers to how the subpixles are arranged not necessarily what colors are in the arrangement. Link to RGBG Pentile comparison to RealStripe (RBGRBG).
I actually think this is gonna be the sweet spot for me. Big enough that it wont make things hard to read, small enough to still fit in the pocket.
MAYBE, a 5 inch would be right, but we will see.
Dude im 6'3 225lbs. My hands are huge! lol i wouldn't mind a 5inch screen. I would have gotten the dell streak if it was on Verizon lol. These big phones are thin so that makes them perfect.
I'd say that I basically want a phone as big as it can get while still fitting in my front jeans pocket. At 4.65" for the screen, it's not going to be a problem - especially with how thin they are.
