Your told, lcd is brighter in sunlight which is the main reason your tokd Lcd is superior or at least thay say amoled is inferior. Wrong,its because if default settings by the makers. Once rooted with proper kernel(almost every device has em) you can do with amoled what you cant do with lcd. Double the color multipliers from android default of 200 to 400. I use in order of RGB, 320/320/400 to achieve perfect white and black. Also the battery myth,lcd drains less. Thats bullcrap.

Pics wouldn't attach.must be because of using phone
Pic
2 different pic styles,img and jpeg clearly shows that even with a shattered and pentile matrix amoled screen its brighter in the sunlight. Even did my shadow in it so no one would say....sun wasnt out lmao. Sorry naysayers proof is in the pudding and the gooey pudding is right in front of your face. Proper kernel with amoled is brighter and better battery saver than lcd. Lcd is backlit anyway and most high end phones will use it in the future because it can be bended and manipulated and LCD can't because it is backlit. Only low end phones will be lcd in the future.
I agree with what you've said (I use Samsung phones primarily), but it is true that when displaying white, it uses 3x as much power as an LCD. On mostly black, you're correct; very little power draw.
Tell me about AMOLED burn-in. Since you are increasing the luminosity, I would suspect that burn-in would be faster?
Keeping my eye out for this one...very interesting.
Do you guys mind if I ask what this "burn-in" is and how to fo about it?
Very interesting indeed.

Similar to plasma screen televisions, if you leave an image on the screen for a long time (much more than average), you'll see remnants of it permanently. However, if it's anything like televisions, you can fix it by displaying a white image on the screen (entirely white) for a few hours. I've never had this happen to me and ive owned almost all major Samsung phones. Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S II, Galaxy S III, Note 2, and now S4.

burn in
Yes burn in can occur on older like the gnex. Newer amoled is less likely but always set time out of 2 min when color multipliers are set to max. Best settings,for pure white is ,320,320,400 rgb color multipliers. Sorry should have talked about burn in,my apologies .

Ok, I just recived my second Incredible replacement after the first on had a light red to the white balance verses my original. This second has the same. I notice the contrst is a touch less then the original and the black doesnt seem quire as dark at time when compairing. Also one positive is that it seems a little brighter also thatn the original that I know us amoled. How can I tell if they switched to the Sony super tft display? Its not a huge deal just disapointing after getting used to the amoled. I personaly like that displays color balance better. Just want to knoe why these screens are different.

Im not positive how to tell if its changed or not but I do know that they did get rid of the AMOLED because of the shortages.
From what was announced only the nexus one and desire ee changed to slcd not the incredible.
My gf got a new replacement and hers has a purpleish tint to it when the brightness is low. A lot more noticeable then my phone. Looks like AMOLED though. The blacks are black.

HTC has publicly stated quite the opposite. The N1 and Desire switched to SLCD, but they have no immediate plans to switch the Incredible due to the change in the aforementioned two handsets alleviating the shortage.
htc was originally gonna switch incredible to SLCD, they never stated they WERENT gonna switch it due to affirmed Nexus and Desire switch though.

There is definetly a difference between my original and these 2 replacments. I still have the original incredible in hand to compair with the second replacment.

Look closely at the pixels for the pentile arrangement, if the edges of straight lines look like dotted lines, its still AMOLED. A good place to see it is to pull down the notification shade, and look at the edge of the O where it says Ongoing, with the pentile matrix on the AMOLED screen you can tell the O is jagged and not smooth.
Was wondering this too, my little brother just got an incredible and it looks fine in sunlight like my evo when they are both at full brightness. I also noticed that like the evo, on HTC.com the type of screen is not listed, just says touch sensitive display. Just last week it said amoled. He just got the phone this past Wednesday, the hardware version is 002.
After many phonecalls and internet research I found out they did change the screen to slcd. The sku with vw2 notes this. The amoled defintly has a better color balance but if you did know this you might not notice. Shame I think I am sticking with my original even thought the switch can be flakey at times.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
002 is the normal amoled. BTW, VZW got a froyo build that listed "LCD support" in the change logs, so they are at least preparing for the switch in case it ever does come.

I'm on 3rd (hope last) inc due to warranty issues. Second was brand new, but had to wait due to backorder in June.
This latest one was a refurb, but looks and acts like a new one. I had some initial concerns, though. Just like the earlier poster, this has a purplish tint on the grays when using a setting dimmer than about 50%. I may not have noticed it if I hadn't had the other ones first. It's noticeable, but something I can live with. In any case, the display is crisp and clear, and the effect goes away as the brightness is turned up.
Awesome phone; even better thanks to XDA forums.

Too bad Samsung is holding those internally for up to a year in their own phones. By the time they release SAMOLED screens to other companies they've probably got something better already.
I don't worry about AMOLED vs sLCD because I got one of the engineering prototypes with AMOP technology (Active-Matrix Organic Plasma). Makes the production-run screens look like etch-a-sketch by comparison!
I'll be skruud if I ever brick it tho
SGS screen is awesome, even if colors are not really well calibrated...

We just got 4 at work. The supplier told us they only had 1 left a few weeks ago and we had to wait until they got new stock so when they turned up we had one from an old batch and three newer ones. The one older one was very noticably darker then the 3 newer ones even with exactly the same screen settings. It also had a slight blue tint to it.
My brother and I both have I9000 Galaxy. The 1st phone (the older one) was very bright that it resulted in eye strain while using!
After about a month when I bought a new Galaxy S it was very dark compared to the older phone on same settings and same firmware.
So maybe its the issue with some phones or I am guessing that the older phone suffered from backlight bleeding! But now the screen broke and I bought a replacement screen from ebay.

Now THAT explains something. I have a pixel tester and when I set it to black, in a pitch black room I can still see the screen. Well now I know... You sure about that though? Even the Samsung Super AMOLED videos make a point of there being no backlight.
AMOLED does die over time, blue first. So as I understand it most of these AMOLED screens in phones have twice the blue pixels to make up for it over time. I would of suspected that the lifetime is a few years though, not months.
There is no backlight in S-AMOLED displays.

Thought so. So, can anyone explain to me why I can see my screen in the dark when the phone is showing only a black screen? Such as with the dead pixel checking app I used? Perhaps it does not correctly request true black but even noLED from these forums does it.
I would expect it's due to leakage current.
Each pixel on the screen is controlled by a transistor (actually probably more than one). Even when the transistor is turned off (and the pixel should be dark) there will still be a small amount of current leak through. I suspect that this is what causes the screen to glow slightly even when displaying black.
Of course when the entire screen is turned off, no power is going to the display, so even this small current stops and the screen is darker.
Maybe Samsung has switched to SLCD screens.
The rumour circulated few months ago that Samsung has stopped the production of the Wave and the Galaxy S smartphones because of the Super AMOLED shortage.
Maybe now they are shiping SGS with SLCD.
The SLCD screens are much brigther than SAMOLED.

I highly doubt samsung would discontinue the SGS line for any reason. In fact, they just started to showcase the 7inch SAMOLED most likely for the next gen galaxy tab.

I'm sure it was an AMOLED Screen, easy to recognize...
I'll try to make some photos.
i got mine when it first came out and i have it on zero brightness setting and it is bright and clear (except in sunlight when it becomes as hard as any other phone to see)
ive tried about 15 of these phones and the screens on all of them were different when set to the highest brightness. The most common differences were darker and lighter shades of blue. a couple were more red than others and looked 'warmer'. The one im using right now is pretty neutral though not sure why that is but they all seem to be different.
(all 15 were running JH2 stock with no lagfixes on i9000m from bell)
Argh...
I have a dead green pixel towards the bottom of the phone... And now that i know its there.. I keep looking at it! Def wasnt dead when i got it
A good way to test the pixels is via the *#0*# menu... red, green and blue.
i always have brightness settings at the lowest and when i was using eclair rom everything was really dark. after flashing froyo rom i noticed straight away even at the lowest settings the phone is still pretty bright but green colour does not look good at all.
I have only seen 4 galaxy tab 7.7's so far and I noticed all 4 of them really have bad white levels as compared to my galaxy note, disabled the auto power saving and there is a difference in white levels but its still not even close to the galaxy note at the same brightness level. Even at brightness 25% on the note the vs 100% on the tab 7.7shows 'dimmer'whites. This is not a rant but I'm just asking if the screens are calibrated that way or should I keep looking?
Also I noticed that the mdine engine oon the tab provides oversharpening to a lot of my photos and its so obvious and makes the images look bd, supercurio has the same findings.
It is a pretty big screen so it may be they limited the brightnes to save battery power. While the claim is that OLED takes less power than LCD that is not always true. When displaying white, OLED tech uses like 4X as much power as LCD. The power saving comes in when displaying images with medium to darker colors.
What is the "mdine engine"? Is this something that can be bypassed by using a different picture viewing app?
It is amazing how Samsung seems to always add some crappy image "enhancement" like DnIE or such crap. Why can't they just leave our images alone, as we meant them to be? It is freakin' OLED man. You don't need any contrast or sharpness enhancement you knuckleheads! OLED by nature is sharp and has great contrast! Duh!
I don't know. My 7.7 is super bright, sharp and with way warmer colors than my Note.

I'm thinking the samr thing that samsung might ne limiting how bright the whites can go duebto the screen size but based on what I've seen on samoleds some screens juat put out better white levels, not really brighter but whiter.

Yes I believe so, Supercurio knows more about that stuff.
EDIT:
simulated example done in photoshop, anyone with the tab7.7 and better photoshop skills feel free to redo this simulated image
Perhaps one of the other reason that the 7.7's screen isn't quite as bright, apart from the obvious power saving reasons, is an effort to possibly reduce the OLED degradation (burn-in) effect.
Either way, although I certainly noticed out of the box that my 7.7 wasn't as bright as my Note (or even my GS2 for that matter!), I was never really bothered by it because (especially when you use movie mode) the colour reproduction is very accurate, and paired up with the contrast levels, it's still fantastic!
I guess, to me, white doesn't necessarily mean I need to put on a pair of sunglasses while looking at my screen lol!
I just wanted to know if the norm has lower white levels, what bothers me more is added sharpening on some images.

Well ever since the Galaxy S changing the color mode to movie mode gives a yellowish cast, this is probably dependent on the calibration on the screen we get in the first place. I saw a friend's Tab7.7 the other day and his white levels were really brighter than my Galaxy Note. FWIW, its still a luck of the draw when it comes to color calibration on the screen. But thanks for that tip, when I'll purchase the Tab I'll make sure to also check out movie mode and see if it hits my requirements.

Very bright noticed the same with the Note ,
Nexus was somewhat easier on the eyes at night,
But probably like you I like a very dim screen at night.
When the brightness is turned all the way down on the 7.7,
is any banding or other issues seen like many report on the Note?
Blacks are black I'm sure but how are greys that are near black.
On the Nexus they were fine, but on the Notes I seen they could have been darker?
I was reading TechRadar's review while waiting for my N4 to be delivered. They made a lot of big promises on the LCD's ability to show black. Here are the highlights so you don't have to read the whole thing:
"When you're looking at icons on a black background (like in the app drawer), you can't even see the black, if that makes sense. It is so deep, that icons just float."

This put my expectations high. Upon actually receiving my N4, it was underwhelming. I can see the black, I'll say the LCD does black well, but not as well as the review states. My LCD is also not invisible when off. I can look at the front of the phone at almost any angle and be able to tell you where the edges of the screen are when it's off. Lastly, (this is mostly opinion) I think that while this screen is comparable to Retina, it doesn't "blow it out of the water."
What are your experiences with the N4's screen? It would seem either TechRadar was stretching the truth, or LG started shipping newer phones with cheaper LCDs inside. Thoughts?

I'm very impressed by the display personally. Yes, I can distinguish between the screen and the bezel but I honestly don't care. Colours are surprisingly on par with the SGS3 but not as oversaturated, and whites are more white than the SGS3. The sharpness of the display is great as well. Overall, pretty awesome.
What gets me the most is the off angle blacks, they are horrible, unless you look at the phone perfectly perpendicular to the sides and tops then the blacks invert and become bright gray, even a slight change in viewing angle causes major degradation, its almost as bad as a TN display. Like all LCD's the blacks look great in a bright room, its when it gets dark that it turns to crap.
Hi,
I have a galaxy s4 and for some reason the right side of the screen color and brightness is more accurate then the left. Is this normal? Or is it like this with all Galaxy S4. I'll upload a picture soon. thanks!

Yes, AMOLED screens gradually change in colour and brightness unevenly.

Yeah, it's an unavoidable trait of (AM)OLED displays. The organic components deteriorate with use and result in colour shifts and burn-in.

Haven't even had my screen a year and its starting to deteriorate.
Its a shame because I love the pure black of AMOLED but the general technology is pretty rubbish for a flagship phone.
In my opinion you should get 2 years of life from a flagship phone before it starts to break.
