I just checked mine it starts with a 7. It looks good to me I would not have known there was an issue if I didn't read this.
2nd. Mine gives me no problems, so I doubt if I'll even check the version.

SuperSteve - I dissagree that in your pic the 5 is better. See the top area? The 7 is nicely blended/shaded. The 5 shows basically a stripe. It should be a nice graduated fade/blend. Look at identical photos on each phone of something that has detail. Maybe the tree frog wallpaper. I think you'll find more detail in the 7's pics. I find text harder to read on my 5.
I do hope that people aren't freeking out about the other's posts/threads saying the 7 suck. I think they have it a**-backwards and are barking up the wrong tree.
I'm worried they are shipping 5's again and I won't be able to get a 7!
Phoneorp - So are you happy with your new 5? Is this one a keeper or is it back to the drawing board for you?
Phoneorpda - is it difficult to get a swap done? Did you have to set up an appt with a Genious or were you just able to go to the counter? I called the store and was told I'd need it inspected by a Genious first to do a swap and they determine if it's ok to swap or not.
I only wish we could pool together and puzzle out a way to determine 5's vs. 7's from the box. The only numbers I see different are: SN, ICCID, IMEI
My 7 phone shows a 7 at the end of the ICCID #. The 5 shows a 41. There must be some numbering in here somewhere that indicates something. IDK what numbers are safe for us to post publically.

I aggree I think the 5 looks better, it seems more vivid and has more "pop" if you ask me, idk both screens are good in there own respect.that's your opinion, and that's cool.
however I personally( and a lot of other people , apparently) prefer the 5*** screen.
To my eyes it has more contrast, the blacks are better and there is no white dot grid.
i had to return my first 5*** because of other issues, and just now i have been able to get another 5*** back, after a couple of 7***.
So, as you can see, it is a matter of taste, not of being right or wrong.
The 5 vs 7 threads just seem funny to me.
Some say 7's have bad colors but better contrast. Others say it is that way for 5's.
I just don't see one standard out of all these threads. If people never knew what number they had I don't think it would be an issue.
Seriously. There's just too much back and forth about this that I can't tell which is better (if there is a difference at all). All I know is that when I look at my screen it is gorgeous. Just to appease myself I compared the color and detail from an original photo I took recently and the same photo sync'ed to my iPhone. Both photos - on my iPhone, and on my Samsung LCD, look equally crisp, bright and beautiful, with about equal color and sharpness. And that's all I really care about
