There is a comparison video of the X10, Desire, and Galaxy S posted on techblog.gr.
http://techblog.gr/techtv/samsung-galaxy-s-vs-htc-desire-vs-sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-6854/
It really shows that the X10's screen is nothing to scoff at. Under normal viewing, it is not as vibrant or saturated at the others. However, the image quality is still there.
Under sunlight is where it really shines. My opinion is that it has the best sunlight visibility of the three.
In my opinion, the 2 others are way too colorsaturated.... Reminds me of when i saw TV at my grandparents. So much color, that the characters are almost glowing...

yes you are right seems like old tv with their strange colors .x10 also it is still limited to 65k colors ,its colors are real ,and after the update it will be much more better as the full 16 million colors,will be enabled ,so it is unfair to compare them now with 2.1 devices
I like the Galaxy S super AMOLED, but Desire's screen is so much less than everyone expected. So, Galaxy is a clear winner, and I'd have to place the X10 second.
Waiting to see what the situation will be after the UXP update...
The best screen is the Galaxy S, is significantly higher, although the X10 is not in the wrong place
The Galaxy S does indeed produce vibrant colors and deep blacks. It also increases sunlight visibility. I just don't like that these OLED screens trends to over saturate colors.
If you look at the video demo. The football players have glowing skintones. The drawback of the lcd screen is that it looks washed out at maximum brightness.
Just today I was admiring how easy it was to see the X10's screen in bright direct sunlight. I have never had a phone do that. Mind you, you can see the flicker of the screen when the sun is on it. Kinda weird looking....
I'm super happy with X10 display.
I watched a movie outside without problems.
Super AMOLED is probably better ... at least in terms of power consumption ...
Same for me, in the sun, I can see everything perfectly. They say SuperAMOLED uses 20% less battery than LCD though, which the X10 could really use haha..
Guys the x10 is perfect just think about somthing..... these Amoled and SuperAmoled screens have a big problem "Burn In" there is quite a few people complaining that their N1 have it after a month or so. And these displays tend to have a lot shorter life than Lcd's and i feel like the colors that they show are not right at all. Just think about it. Hmm chris is Bulgarian .. small world. Chris are you from Toronto by any chance maybe i know you lol.
Windsor, but I have a couple friends in Toronto lol..
i haven't seen the nexus 4 with my own eyes yet, but almost all reviewers say that the screen on the nexus 4 is wayy better than the one on the gnex, i still use the gnex as my primary phone, the screen is pretty amazing, especially in terms of color because amoled screen has oversaturated color, but it's not as real as lcd, my question is : is the screen on the nexus 4 really is that amazing and real? i prefer oversaturated color than natural color though, it looks "eye-catching" how about the black lvl on the nexus 4 ? lcd screen doesn't have the deep black color that amoled screen has...yes i know gnex screen is pentile, but i still can't see the pixels, unless you look really close to the display which makes your eyes hurt
if you think that im bashing nexus 4 because i don't have it, no your totally wrong, as matter of fact, if someone would give one to me, i would take it with pleasure

You said you like oversaturated colors better, so you'll definitely like the gnex screen better. Blacks aren't as blacks as the gnex.
Blacks look pretty good on the Nexus 4 for an LCD screen. I also like vibrant colors and while these aren't quite pop like an AMOLED display, I think they are still good.
It's hard for me to say if it's better than the Galaxy Nexus. I think I might have a problem with my Nexus 4, because I can see very fine horizontal lines on my phone, kinda like the screen door effect on a monitor. I asked about it on the general board and it got very little response, so I'm guessing it's not a common issue.
[A] It is a LCD and not an OLED with pentile matrix, so: Yes! (better = more accurate. better != more saturated)
Yes, it is. Enough said.
I like the over-saturated colours of AMOLED screens. When I went from the Desire (AMOLED) to the Incredible (LCD), I was super disappointed.
However, going from the GNex to the N4, I have to say that the screen is better. Things I've noticed:
- Yes, the blacks aren't as black. If you use it as a bedside clock (in a dock or something), you'll notice more backlight coming through
- The N4 colours are more accurate (pretty standard result compared to AMOLED), but they do have some nice punch to them - much better than a lot of LCD screens I've seen and certainly almost holding it's own compared to AMOLED.
- Comparing side by side - it became apparent that the GNex is horrible at whites. I hadn't noticed whilst owning it, but side by side, the GNex whites look yellowy. In comparison, the whites on the N4 are almost blinding. Again, I never noticed this from the Gnex whilst owning it - I was perfectly happy.
In summary, I'd say the screen is better, but the night clock greyer blacks issue might be an irritant for you. Otherwise, it's N4 all the way.

after calibrating my gnex with trinity kernel, white is very white on my gnex, i think it's just a matter of color calibration
Comparing the 2 side-by-side the N4 wins hands down. I really don't see how I put up with that GNex screen as long as I did.

I have the same issue with my Nexus 4, faint horizontal banding across the entire display. It's difficult to see on whites and blacks, but pretty much every color in-
between it's fairly obvious. It's also terrible when watching videos.
I called Google yesterday after I received the phone and they're shipping out a replacement (props to Google support, btw). It's definitely not normal, and I would urge you to call in and get a replacement sent your way ASAP. Even if you think you can "live with it", there's no guarantee that it's not indicative of a larger screen issue that might get worse.
I've loved amoled displays ever since I got my galaxy s and I've been using only amoled since then (galaxy s, s2, gnex), so I was apprehensive about whether I'd like the nexus 4 screen or not.
But after just a day of use, I can safely say I'll probably stick to LCD from now on. I never imagined I'd like the screen this much. Its one of the best things about the phone.
The whites are beautiful, the blacks are very good for an LCD and look just as black as my gnex when seen in daylight/well lit environments. In dark situations the blacks aren't as good but it doesn't matter because the display still looks gorgeous. And BTW I had trinity kernel as well. Trust me, no calibration could ever get the gnex to have whites this gorgeous.
I never had an issue with pentile before but once you use a non pentile display like this, the difference is very apparent. Its so much sharper and crisper from any distance.
And the colors just look nicer as well. Looking at my dads gnex screen after this actually makes me wonder how I ever liked colors that way.
Another reason the nexus 4 screen looks so beautiful is because gradients are actually smooth. After years of looking at amoled gradients, this is a huge and welcome change.
And its great having the screen so much closer to the surface of the glass.
The only downside to the nexus 4 screen are the viewing angles. Definitely not as nice as the gnex. I can't lie down and look at my screen diagonally anymore :/ The one x doesn't have this issue so I guess its LGs fault and not an LCD related problem.
All in all, you won't regret it. No matter how much you've loved amoled. You'll finally understand what all the hype around LCDs is about. And they were right.

Nexus 4 screen appears more upscale compared to GNex. The text looks more precise. Photos look more realistic. Color reproduction is much more accurate vs GNex and there is no infamous purple tint.

Oh man that god awful purple tint:crying:
The Nexus 4 is the first Nexus phone with a good screen, in my opinion. Tossing AMOLED and PenTile to the curb was the best decision Google's made since buying Android. Visibility in daylight is somewhat better but still not great. The color isn't as eye-popping, which is a good thing; AMOLED is obnoxious to look at. As for the black levels, IIRC AnandTech did a comparison and found that Nexus 4 has the best contrast ratio and best black level of any LCD-based smartphone, which sounds about right to me. Black levels are IMHO very close to AMOLED. To get these black levels though it appears they had to sacrifice peak brightness, where Nexus 4 is only average. White balance and color calibration is decent, though not iDevice-good. Pixel response speed is noticeably better than GNex. Also you need not worry about uneven wear (burn-in) since LCD isn't susceptible to this. This new screen is infinitely better overall. I do graphics design work as a hobby, if that's worth anything.
The new screen is much more battery efficient as well. Last weekend, my N4 lasted for 14 hours of very heavy use before I plugged it into the charger, and of that time the screen was on for 5h44m. With the remaining 9% or so I could've made it to 6h, but it was extremely late at night and I was about to pass out from exhaustion at that point. My GNex lasted 4h at best, even under very light load.
Yesterday I used it on a road trip with about 2 hours of screen-on + navigation + music streaming, plus another hour of regular use. In total it lasted 7h24m before ithe battery reached critical and I plugged it in. Coming from a GNex, that's phenomenal. I would be lucky to get 2 hours of navigation alone.
The speed its HSPA connection is great! I hit 13 mbps yesterday, about 3x faster than I ever got on my GNex. The device itself, needless to say, is as fast as it gets. This is very cutting-edge hardware and Android post-4.1 is a beast.
This is by far the best device I've owned. The glass back was an odd choice and the lack of USB Host is disappointing, but those are the only two faults I can come up with. If it was more expensive I'd fault it for having only 16 GB of storage, but with the price considered, it's adequate. Hopefully the USB Host issue will be addressed by some clever developers somehow, but it's probably unlikely.
I was playing around with the GS4 yesterday and the screen probably impressed me the most. I held it next to the GS3 and it was quite a bit better: sharper and brighter.
I haven't had the opportunity to look at the One yet, but I have to think the GS4 is a strong contender for the best phone screen. Of course it depends on your preference for AMOLED versus LCD; I probably prefer the former.
So to those who have been using the phone: how would you rate the screen? Do you consider it a big jump over the GS3 and how would you compare it to other phone screens, especially the One?

WAY better than GS3 but trades shots with the One.
I prefer a larger screen with true blacks so I prefer the GS4's screen. If you prefer a smaller screen and colour accuracy then the One's screen would be better.
"The best" is highly subjective. For instance, if you prefer outdoor visibility, it's still nowhere near iPhone or the One. That said, I prefer (properly calibrated) AMOLEDs for the contrast ratios and superior blacks despite all the drawbacks
Personal preference, really.
I have a One, and I have had a look at the S4 display. I have to say both displays look great.
You like Amoled then this is the best, if you like LCD real colors then One is the best. Personally prefer the One display.

It really depends on your preference. I have owned all the Galaxys, and some sony/HTC`s and i will say it is not.
There is no doubt the S4 screen is amazing, but only when it comes to colours. After using the S4 for a period of time, my eyes is starting to get tired. And thats because of the deep, saturated colours.
In the end it comes up to your personal preference. For me the Xperia Z/One is the best one. Nothing beats watching a movie on an LCD-panel.

While I love the screen on my GS4, I must humbly admit the SLCD3 screen in the HTC One is superior. While the blacks aren't completely black because it can't shut off pixels like AMOLED does, it's blacks are however very very impressive, color accuracy and sharpness are also more superior on the HTC One as well (the S4's Adobe RGB mode, aka (Professional photo) looks off a bit, especially on reds, so don't be fooled into thinking this option will make up for the inferior color accuracy). The only downside to the HTC One's screen, is it's only 4.7" which is a knock in my opinion as I prefer a larger screen.

So use Adobe RGB mode...
No it has really bad ghosting.
One of the best. I've recently switched to "movie mode" as various professional display reviewers have noted this mode as having the most accurate colors and I've been loving it. Feels more like an LCD which I used to prefer. I was also surprised at the amount of additional detail I'm seeing in movie mode that were not present in standard (for instance, the tapatalk app icon)
You will need a day to adjust from standard mode, but once you do I'm betting the standard will be hard to look at for you.
The resolution and PPI speak for themselves, obviously.

Note 2 screen looks great. No pen tile.
my gnote2 is bigger than your puny iPhone.
The s4 screen has a wow factor since the colors pop and the blacks are inky. The One's screen is great too much IMHO, the I prefer the S4 since it is bigger and more vibrant. The One's screen is like looking at the Iphone's screen but bigger since even on the Iphone you can't see pixels so it didn't wow me as much.
Guys i just compared my s3 to also mine s4 and must say the s3 display is sharper and I see more details on it. I just run few same clips on both. Can someone confirm it.

Samsung displays are horrible when it's outside in bright sunlight.
If you want vibrant colours they are the best. If you want realistic I'd say the One and iPhone 5 are the best. The movie mode is very good on the S4 but it's not as well calibrated as the iPhone 5s screen. Looking in the forum the S4 has ghosting/smearing and some weird pink tint issues. AMOLED screens also are poor in daylight and can get burn in.
Now that it has an option to show accurate colors. Displaymate rate it on par with iPhone 5 which is rated as the best LCD screen they tested in a mobile phone. For me SGS4 is the best out there simply because it offers best of both worlds. There is a mode to show vibrant colors which I personally like especially when watching movies. LCD will pale in comparison next to AMOLED which can show pitch black . It is still Pentile arrangement however I tried hard looking closely as I can and men I can't see any pixels or cross hatch pattern that I can detect on SGS3. I even think that it's icons are much sharper compared to iPhone 5. Now that the Pentile weakness has been totally eliminated by ridiculous 441 pixels per inch. Is there another phone out there that can beat this in terms of display?
From Displayemate which is world renowned for display diagnostics
Comparing the Galaxy S4 with the LCD Display on the iPhone 5:
The iPhone 5 is now more than half way through its product cycle, which is important to keep in mind for our comparison. However, high-end LCDs like the iPhone 5 are a very mature and refined display technology, so other than screen size, resolution, and the Pixels Per Inch not much is likely to change in the next generation, no matter what Apple decides to do. The iPhone 5 is significantly brighter than the Galaxy S4, particularly for screens with mostly peak white backgrounds. Its color calibration is a bit better, although the Galaxy S4 has a more accurate White. The Galaxy S4 has a much bigger screen, higher resolution, higher PPI, much darker blacks, and better screen uniformity than the iPhone 5. They each have their own particular strengths and weaknesses, but if you scan our color coordinated Comparison Table below, both displays are quite good and comparable overall – so it’s currently a tie – we’ll see how they both evolve and improve in the next generation…

With the current pentile matrix they are using and as high density as the 1080P display is, it doesn't affect the quality of the display.
Pentile really is no longer a useable arguement.
Seriously guys, calibration is not an issue. As long as you can get rid of that blue tint, I'm sure you'll get Perseus kernel with top calibration. I do on my Note II and it's absolutely perfect, if not better. Properly calibrated, AMOLEDs have an advantage when it comes to the contrast ratios.
Brightness still sucks though.
I've alway thought Samsung screens always looked too blueish and not so true to life. HTC always seems to get it right when it comes to screens. Just my opinion.

The ones slcd is superior to the sgs4... Yes the colors are more vibrant and black is real black... But there are too much downsides in my opinion:
- White just doenst look white - ok and full brightness, but not below that
- Loss of detail in dark areas
- Low brightness on automode (even on +5)
- Low brightness on maximum brightness (the ones slcd is superior in sunlight)
- Burn-In
- Pentile - still visible for me
- Smearing / ghosting
- power consumption on browsing
- red black (fixed?!)
What do you think about the CGS/LTPS display ? I'm okay with the resolution but not sure if it will be close to enough to being as good as an Amoled. The G6 display in comparison to S8 looked quite poor to me. I'm guessing Essential is sourcing these displays from Sharp.
Matter of taste - I prefer a good LCD to an AMOLED, not least because I keep my phones for a few years and AMOLED degrades with use (colour shifts and loss of brightness for sure, burn-in for some people).
My advice is always to see what the actual display is like rather than making assumptions based on specs.
I have also noticed in some situations that super amoled has certain response timing issues. Which can cause significant Halo. It's not terrible. But I am a firm believer that just because everyone wants it. Doesn't make it best. Amoled definitely has pros and cons.
More confirmation of Essential Phone using Sharp's display
https://www.neowin.net/news/sharps-...-style-photo-showing-camera-cutout-in-display
As an S8 user and someone that very pro AMOLED I scoffed when I saw the display specs. However I picked up a Mate 9 last week and was extreamly impressed with the LCD display. I'm not going to say it's better but it's it's nice enough for me to use and not miss the AMOLED. I did end up returning it as the software side drove me nuts.
What about battery life? Isn't LCD (with its backlight) generally worse for battery life than AMOLED? Or is that less true than it used to be?
AMOLED efficiency depends a lot on the image. With a dark image it's efficient, with a lot of white it always used to use more power than LCD. With LCD the power usage doesn't really change with what you are displaying.
Hi everyone...
my operator just offered a limited-time rebate, that lowers G6 cost to just 310 EUR, so i decided to seriously consider it as my Note 4 is on its last legs with its snail-speed EMMC memory which is also a time bomb as it can fail at any moment.
LG G6 is one of the few phones (apart from the Sharp Aquos or Xiaomi Mi Mix) that i actually like...
so i went to a huge department store to test it in real life... and was very disappointed, as the screen looks dull, and text clarity is mediocre. Websites like Android Authority (with gray text) look mediocre too.. Also the store (mediamarkt) was very well lit with lamps, and raising the brightness to max level only made the brightness good enough... well, comparing the LG G6 screen with my note 4 side by side was upsetting, it looked somewhat grayish, and would be clearly a downgrade. The key thing is that it is not crisp.
In the same store were also samsung and huawei demo zones. I understand that LG G6 and Huawei phones have IPS screens... The phone (screen) that I liked very much turned out to be Huawei Mate 9. Huawei P10 was also nice, but Mate 9 screen was the best imho. Unfortunately i recommended a huawei phone to muy friend (it was Huawei Note 8) and now he has tremendous communication delays, whatsapps get delivered sometimes hours later (here users complain about the same problem), so Huawei unfortunately is not an option for me. I was really hoping LG G6 would do, especially at a very decent price of 310 EUR.
I thought maybe it was a defective unit... so i went to another department store nearby that was less lit and also had LG G6 demo zone. It actually had several G6s and they all had that mediocre screens...
Finally i'm afraid i will have to skip that 310 EUR offer which is a pity, i'd love to have a more snappy phone... And in general G6 is very compact and nice...
Wondering what are your impressions from LG G6 screen? I've looked though these forums and see that most people rave about it, which is astonishing. Am i too critical?
I have the (Korean?) H870DS 64GB, Quad DAC version and I am extremely happy with the screen. AMOLED screens may have vibrant colours and black-black, but the colours just don't look natural.
LG G6 has one of the best screens out there, it's got HDR10 display certified too that it almost matches the very best displays like the Galaxy S8, where as IPS Quantum Display in the LG is better than AMOLED is the oranges you see on the AMOLED appear very red , AMOLED are being notorious for over-saturation and longer image retention (screen burn in might be permanent in AMOLED where as IPS the burn in is temporary) LG IPS Quantum Display has excellent whites and more natural colours.
If you are used to seeing life through an over-saturated screen then accurate RGB will seem subdued.
However go into settings on your Note 4 and turn display mode to BASIC and you will see RGB mode on Samsung panels looks very different. Now compare to the G6 ...
Remember Display Mate rate Samsung panels highly based on the 'basic' mode due to colour accuracy and not on Adaptive Display mode they ship with as default.
However if you are fan of the boosted colours then likely only another over saturated AMOLED panel will appease and therefore the G6 isn't for you.

I am happy with the change i have come from an s8 with the screen i have had all the s range all the note range bar the 5 as was not out in the uk and there is not really that much difference part from blacks look really black on samsung phones my whites look white on my g6 unlike my s8 they looked pink/ red if you are not picking you will find faults and the lg ui is more fluid and faster than my s8 not had one bit of stutter or lag on my g6 but had fair bot on s8
No complaints about the G6 screen. This was my first LCD phone is many years (previously S6, S4, S3, and Note 2; plus Galaxy Tab S), so was worried about switching to the G6's LCD. I see the differences when I compare side-by-side, but I don't notice the difference when I use the G6 by itself.
The Huawei you saw at the store might be set to demo/display mode (like TVs) that maximizes brightness and color to levels you probably wouldn't use.
Yes it does have the hdr 10 thing but there is other phones having it but what the lg g6 is the only phone certifed for , is the dolby vision nd it s the only phone till now it does take the hdr thing to another level :laugh:
No complaints with the screen here, seems just as crisp as my Galaxy S6, with the added benefit of no screen burn. Very happy.

It's more of a personal choice. I find benefits in both superAmoled, and IPS panels. For me, Amoled is better for long time reading, mostly because of true blacks and less backlight emitition (as I use with my tab s3) while for more realistic colors and specially true white, I prefer my G6. It has probably the best IPS panel I've seen by far.
Unrelated, but somehow related to screen experience, my s7 was a fingerprint magnet. G6 oleophobic coating seems to be much better! (At least after a few weeks)

As with most tv content HDR is useless and really really useless during the daytime. This coming from a guy who invested $5k last year on 4k tv and playable equipment. From xbox 1 S. Amazing OLED LG 65" and samsung hdr 4k player
Does anyone use this? It's kinda cool I use it to get a better contrast ratio. Since we don't get screen modes like Samsung does. Been doing it since my g3
Sad ? First of all you should know the difference between amoled and LCD .
An amoled while delivers punchy vibrant colors is actually unreal or artificial colors.
LCD is not punchy but produce Real life colors almost.
Red is red and blue is blue .
Gotta doubt ? Try taking pics of some fruits mixed together and compare them in 2k amoled and 2k LCD.
And for original clarity of display the display brightness should be around 50%.

I have the oneplus 3t and purchased a G6 from eglobal. Excellent service and price. I must say I was also disappointed with the G6 screen the whites are so cool they look blue. I tried changing the colour temperature in the visual settings but couldn't find any srgb mode like I have on the 3t. Brightness is also not great. I sold it on as for me the lcd was just not very nice to look at which is a shame tbh. Hoping the v30 will use a better screen.
Coming from S7 Edge, I must say the LG G6 screen is quite poor ( I still have the S7E). People here bragging about it being an LCD display, true color renditions, and HDR, doesn't know enough to judge the displays. Well, I have a Mi 5 and also compared the iPhone 7 display to the LG 6 ( Both Mi 5 and iPhone 7 has LCD displays) and unfortunately, g6's display was not impressive at all. Not deep enough blacks ( Again comparing only to other LCD's and not to an AMOLED screen), not bright enough(Even indoors, I keep it around 60 plus percent for a satisfactory brightness), not sharp enough ( The text looks pale and not so sharp) and the viewing angles are terrible. I am of course not in any way expecting the G6 to compete with the Samsung AMOLED displays, but G6 being 2017 flagship from LG, should be good enough to compete with at least the Xiaomi Mi 5 if not an iPhone 7.
I bought it for a few reasons,
1) Design and look ( Looks pretty sleek and neat)
2) Got it for a really cheap deal
3) Love the wide angle camera
I had a really tough time maintaining my S7E. It does not have a proper tempered glass due to its edge display and that's the main reason I wanted to switch to another phone so that I can avoid the head ache of changing the tempered glass every month and also my S7E display cracked even with a tempered glass on ( Though it's pretty usable and used it in that same condition for about 6 months). So thought it's not worth getting the display replaced as it seems too fragile and I did not find any other phone to switch to(Not a fan of iPhones), so have temporarily switched to the G6. I think I will switch to Pixel 2 as soon as its launched ( Hate the present pixel for those ugly big chins)
So yeah the G6 display is a very mediocre and definitely not something you should buy the phone for.

Coming from S7 Edge, I must say the LG G6 screen is quite poor ( I still have the S7E). People here bragging about it being an LCD display, true color renditions, and HDR, doesn't know enough to judge the displays.

Well this is a stupid assumption because me for example, reviews Monitors for Companies like Yamakasi, Catleap, Samsung, Dell. I had around 15 different Monitors in the last four years (21:9,4K,WQHD,IPS,TN,244 Hz,3D,PLS,G-Sync,Freesync, pretty much everything). And i can tell you from a standpoint where facts matter, the Amoled Smartphone displays are total crap. Amoled has nicer blacks because it doesn't require to power black pixels, in other words, black means off. But the over saturation is completely unrealistic and extremely annoying when taking pictures on your Smartphone and then transfering them to your PC suddenly noticing the Image is way less colorfull and saturated on a Eizo calibrated Eizo Foris. This is nuts. And if you find IPS Panels White color too cool, then you must know that Witebalance is increased with brightness. Whites may look whiter, but if you over expose greys become white too, thats why IPS displays look a bit cooler, because otherwise you would have a solid block of white instead of a nice dynamic range.
Im coming from a Galaxy Note 4 and, guys. This Display is so much better for people who actually want realistic colors and know how to use the camera properly. (eg. Tech Guys). I know many people want extreme Bass on their Headphones or over saturated displays, but it doesn't change the fact that you are loosing details or faking the output. Its simply unpleasant to the eye to have such a big amount of saturation where in reality everything looks much more natural. This stuff was cool when i was 14. Nowadays i want to reproduce everything 1:1, no matter if its Sound Quality or Display color. Professionals are much better off with the G6.

Serious the display is not good. The whites are so blue. Lets not turn this into amoled vs lcd because we all know LG, Apple/Sharp will be using Amoled in the future not lcd.
Just pick up an iPhone and compare the G6 screen and that will show how poor it is. Just hope v30 will be better.
I'm disappointed in Samsung crappy Amoled panels. My first S8+ had severly brighter upper half than bottom when viewing dark content. My second unit has white balance shift on the bottom part. Red left side green right side. I can never ever get a good Samsung panel. With the S7+ I switched phones 4 times and never got a good screen. Also Amoled whites suck it's not white like LCD. I ****ing give up on Sammy phones forever now I enjoy my G6 LCD so much more it has punch to its white and not these quality issues Samsung always has had.

Did you even read my complete post? My god, how you just want to jump all over and prove me wrong. Please read my complete post if you haven't already. I clearly said i am not comparing the G6's display to the AMOLED ones and i am a professional photographer myself and i know what it means to have a display that can render true colors. But i clearly mentioned that, when i compared this display with the Mi 5, iPhone7 and I even compared it to the Mi 6 today which all have LCD displays and not AMOLED, and unfortunately, they all render better colors ( Of course true colors), they look sharper ( In fact all those phones i mentioned doesnt even have a QHD display, they are all full HD) and over all more impressive. I am not here to win an argument, i am simply stating the facts. being a G6 owner my self, i have no reasons to prove anything against it, unless it is really true.
It really strikes me how display quality perception differs among individuals.
I'm in the process of choosing my next smartphone and, being picky on display quality, I read a lot of posts and reviews putting attention to the display topic.
Well, someone says LG G6 is an excellent display, with good luminosity, well calibrated colors and deep blacks (second only to HTC U Ultra, which looks to have one of the best LCD displays to date).
Someone else, the minority in my reading actually, are not happy and say that blacks quickly turn to grays even at little angles.
Obviously I'm puzzled, and now my only hope is that a store near me will receive a G6 soon, so I'll be able to check it out first hand.
Oneplus 3t in maximum brightness and lg g6 in maximum brightness which is brighter and better to read in the sun? I miss my oneplus two because it was mich better to read
