I'm not sure why I'm dignifying this with a reply, but hey.
Yes, really. Strangely enough, different people have different tastes (fortunately). In your opinion it is the best, in mine it is probably the worst or near as dammit.
My personal taste in phone screens is high contrast OLED displays and I believe that Windows Phone looks so much better on an OLED display instead of sub par cheap looking SLCD displays.
Viewing angles do matter because when you move the phone slightly and the colours change, it looks awful and in conjunction with the weak black level and that awful floating above the screen thing that is going on it just destroys the whole experience. It took me about 10 minutes to severely dislike the 8X screen when I received it, I persevered with it for a few hours, got a mate to share his opinion and he agreed that it was garbage, so I returned it.
I think screen wise the 8X and 8S are at the bottom of the heap, as is typical for HTC devices. Next time I won't be ordering one to see what it is like unless they use an OLED display.
Obviously that is simply my opinion though and apologies for the OP for the off topic...
