I think is adequate
It does get REALLY low. Anyone know in nits the lowest it does get?
White backgrounds
On a related note, why does Google insist on continuing with white backgrounds for Android and all their apps??
OLED + black backgrounds = huge battery saving!!
It will also burn your retinas less when reading XDA in bed. :laugh:

I couldn't agree more!

I actually don't think it gets dim enough. Very nice to have blue light affect come from the factory, though. On the Note 3, I used Easy Eyes app and then combined it with Screen Dimmer app's widget and they would stack. I had to do the app-boosted dimming in that order or it wasn't right. I could get it so dark that colours with any hint of darkness would just drag or scrape--you had to see it.
Tonight I'm testing the Note 8 under dark conditions. I'm pretty confident I'll be adding dimmer apps.
And I remember reading organic LEDs being power saving with black pixels is not true. Never much cared I guess since you badasses have battery boosting genius for all to enjoy!
I agree even their email apps

My Z2 force brightness slider will not change from 35% and lower, the brightness will keep the same. I don't like it.
The minimum brightness still so strong that hurts when you want to use your phone at night or in a very dark room
Minimum brightness is perceivably higher than that of my Le Pro 3. So, I installed Pixel Filter, since my LG Flex 2's OLED had the same issue.

im pretty sure that is because you have adaptive brightness on/selected. turn that off and your slider will (should) go lower

hey this is my daily phone and i installed "screen filter' by haxor industry. be careful because the screen will go completely black if you go low enough you wont be able to see your screen and have to do a factory reset. i have my screen set at 32.6%..what i hate though is the fact that you can NOT dim the notification drawer (bar at top w/ time etc.) or the 3 control buttons at the bottom. hope this helps

Pixel filter is definitely the best solution I've found for this. It works especially well if you use the Motorola one button nav.

4.5/10. Still quite bright relatively to the room, but that's due to its 15cm x8cm size. Nearly phablet sized.
Source: I work for a telecoms company and am using the P20 Pro right now as a marketing sample.
I really love the phones size and shape it's perfect. The battery life seems to be rather good as well. The large screen does help out a lot!
The Minimum brightness level is fine and does the job! I've been able to read very well at night in bed... In fact, I was watching a movie the other day on my device.
Most builtin minimum brightness are to bright in my experience as well this is
But using a third party app when needed fixes that ?

Yeah, I've heard about the third party apps but never tried it. I've always found it to be good enough.
I do use an app to lower my minimum brightness on my Macbook Air because well that's just too damn bright lol. My phone however is fine.
Minimum brightness is fine for me. Others have said it's a bit too bright, but when you use the eye comfort mode, you'll have no issues.

Set to Auto it doesn't actually go to the minimum in a dark room. Kind of annoying.
It does fair, but I haven't found any phone that gets as dim as I want in a dark room. I use night owl to further dim the screen.
I had the G7 briefly, it had terrible brightness. Lower than preferable in lit rooms. the V40 is just right, I think.
The LG V40 goes a bit darker then the V30. So improvement there. For me its dark enough.
Comfort view and manual slide does just fine by me.
Found a review that has some more exact measurements:
https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-v40-thinq-display-review/
At its dimmest, the LG V40 ThinQ can go as low as 2.3 nits, which puts it around the same minimum brightness as most Androids OLEDs. Apple’s latest OLED displays, however, measure down to 1.8 nits, which noticeably appears a tad dimmer (by about 12%).

Minimum brightness is good for me, but automatic brightness doesn't work well under dark conditions.
I hope for a fix in the next update.

I agree the automatic brightness adjustment is not doing well. I suspect it is looking at my face with the front camera, and notices the screen light on my face, thinking the environment is bright, thus the screen must be brighter. A feedback-loop. Not sure that is what is happening but I can confirm the brightness keeps adjusting way too often and in way to big steps.
If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the OnePlus 7 Pro's display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.

I'd rather have accurate colors than saturated ones, so I go Natural.
I read somewhere on here that the "Vivid" and "Natural" settings use the wide colour gamut, but the advance settings do not.
I switched from s10+ and trust me, 7pro display is better, especially when it comes to calibration. P3 doesn't exist on Samsung devices, and white point is never quite right, it's always yellowy.
Is anyone else running into an issue where, after setting their screen to Natural, it slowly creeps toward Vivid over the next 5 minutes? This is annoying when trying to take accurate photos because I have to constantly reset the color by switching away from Natural then back to it. This is on the current system update (10.3.4.GM21AA).
Other than that, it looks pretty good on Natural except for the reds, which could use some desaturation.

Ice Bear has experience this ever since OnePlus pushed out the Android 10 update. The color calibration resets from natural to whatever profile is the one chosen after locking the screen. It will stay that way even after unlocking. If Ice Bear does not change it manually, it will stay that.

The problem I'm having is, even if I change it manually, it will just gradually move toward vivid (even more saturated than that actually) as I use the phone. Nothing else settings-wise touched, it just...shifts. It's really strange.
I'm using the custom setting with a warmer tint and amoled wide-gamet. The vivid mode brightens the darker parts of images which I don't like.
So, how do I actually see the ratings?
I saw them a year ago, but now they seem gone...
On the topic:
I find the display too colorful. Everything is more colorful than in reality, making people more addictive to their phone. Help appreciated on how to change this via software, tried already some night-color apps but none could serve my needs.
