What's interesting is that the One X comes with panels from two different vendors, Sharp and AUO. The AUO panel is the one that's appeared on all the reviewers test units. It's got far better contrast, more natural colors, and cooler whites. Some of the *****ing about the One X display is from people that have gotten Sharp panels which are noticably warmer. I'm sure Samsung screens all the panels on their reviewer units too so the comparisons are fair.
Here's how the two panels looked side-by-side on the Sensation.

This image is the best we can get, look at the image below
The 1st comparison clearly shows how good is the RGB matrix, despite the red area showing too much dots in s3 the mobile that is captured in that picture has almost same details.
The 2n comparison shows how good is the real blacks in s3 and infact the text looks much crisper. The hox screen simply couldnt match the blacks of amoled.
Do note that this is not the resolution we will be using for daily usage, the resolution used is far from the regular usage
if anyone missed the below image i posted a few days back(extracted from mobile-review.com) it tells a different story
which one looks sharper? judge by yourself

Thats why a rgb striped display can easily beat a pentile diplay interms of resolution but interms of contrast,amoleds are THE king

The warmer ones looks totally different, samsung sure will have similar problems .

I am a bit confused here...According to gsmarena test note was the brightest amoled but here phonearena states that s3 is the brightest
Or this is because of the gorila glass 2 ????

Which one looks more like the original image? That's what matters most. All the pencil pic shows is that the AMOLED displays are presenting the image differently than an LCD panel. That doesn't mean it's correct.
This video compares LCD2 to SAMOLED with mutiple subjects, at different depths, and in different lighting conditions. And each shot starts out by showing the original. It's a GN their comparing but the discussion is sharpness, not brightness, And with similar PPI the GN and SGS3's ability to display detail should be the same.

This is starting to get silly. I have seen image comparisons where i without doubt prefere the S3 over the One X. With this comparison it is the other way around.

Xperia's color gradients smoother than on other devices

There are always complaints on this forum about color banding on the Xperia's 65k display, so I thought that on my new Galaxy Tablet which boasts '16 million' colors in its specs this issue would not be present.
To my surprise, Xperia's color gradients are a lot smoother.
One example would be the XDA app welcome screen which is very smooth on the Xperia's screen, but shows coarse banding on the Galaxy Tab.
The dithering technique on the Xperia seems a lot more sophisticated and I came to question if Android OS is even capable of displaying over 65536 colors at all.
Any insights into the issue?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
SE changed it to look better becouse normally it would should look worser with 65k and they didnt implented 16m Colors so they changed this to look better.
Samsung always fudge their numbers.
I remember buying a samsung monitor, which was the most expensive at the time, advertised as 16+ million colours and the thing done some horrible dithering - Everything had dithering on it! EVERYTHING.
The older LCD 16bit monitor it replaced had no noticeable dithering at all and gradient changes were subtle.
I've never bought a Samsuck product again.
The samsung galaxy S is also doing some weird stuff with its colours, it's blacks are fantastic but everything else is bleh!! and the pixels are about 10X bigger than the X10s.
The color from 1.6 were noticeably garbage....alot of my favorite wallpapers looked like **** with lines all over....I couldn't even use them. Then SE announced they would not be giving us 16M colors in 2.1 so I was pissed! BUT! I didn't know they were going to do something with the colors...because whatever they did they most certainly did a damn good job because the colors in 2.1 are phenominal! ALL the wallpapers I choose look AWESOME! As for Samsung....I think there super amoled screen is overated...I just sold my Galaxy S to return to the X10...the screen is really nice on the Galaxy, but like I said before the higher resolution on the X10 makes it a very VERY close match IMO.

Yes....dark blacks aside, the colors in the SGS are too oversaturated and a pain on the eye. Also, all the AMOLED screens have a strange greenish-blue tint to the colours - I have nticed this in all AMOLEDs, right from the Nokia N86 to the Samsung Wave to the SGS...

Galaxy Note 2 vs Galaxy Note : Size Comparison

I made a fun video comparing the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the Galaxy Note 1 in dimensions and size!
p.s.: The Galaxy Note 1 is a NTT DoCoMo branded phone from Japan I borrowed from a friend.
Cheers

I think its slightly taller if not mistaken.
They made the screen slightly narrow than the 1st note because:
1. they wanted the 16:9 ratio (best viewing for movies)
2. to make it more comfortable to hold in your hand.
@Sforever31 Note 2 has more features and more power!
The perceived pixel density will be higher though, so images will LOOK a lot better. And like someone mentioned, no more jagged pentile lines like I see on my GS3.
thanks
Who said it has RGB instead of pentile? Samsung just says HD Super AMOLED no plus so I'm not sure where you got that from.

No one said it is RGB, but it's NOT pentile. Have you even bothered to look at the screen comparisons??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31452312&postcount=9
It's RGB.
It is RGB (every pixel owns his 3 subpixel) but the arrangement of the subpixels is different from the ordinary RGB screens, thus the missing 'Plus' in the name.
Look at this stupid image that I've made with my super awesome MS Paint skills

In the left you have a normal RGB pixel (ONE X, S 2, Lumia 920 ...) and on the right you have a Note II pixel. The blue one was made bigger because amoled blue subpixels die faster than green and red. How the screen will perform in real life remains to be seen but I bet it will be much better than pentile.
I was a bit disappointed about the screen being longer and not the same width, but reading a bit about it so far I think it will be beneficial to me to upgrade because I mainly use it for movies.

I know for a fact the note isn't going to be comfortable when riding a bike or going for a run , that's the only problem. And I usually want to have my phone with me at all times. Don't know if I should get the s3 just because it's more portable, the note 2 is definitely the better device though.

I was initially skeptical about Samsung's choice in going for not only a low resolution screen but also a bigger display area. However, after I learned that they've also decided to ditch PenTile in favour of this new RGB matrix, I breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
I can't WAIT to see how nice this display looks in person!

How about your screen quality? Disappointing ... [ Update clip ]

Oct 2nd: Today I hand on Note 2 import from Hong Kong but I don't like the screen: still not better than S3, I think S3 screen a little bit better. How about yours?
Note 2 next to IP4.
Its known AMOLED screens have bad whites...
But I didn't bother me on other AMOLED screens, so I think it will be fine as long I wont compare it with other displays.
Would like to see more on this. I heard the screen on this was noticeably better than Note 1 and the S3. Less blue and less pentile hatcheting. Is that true?
I think you forgot to adjust the brightness
Is there any tint problem with note II?LIke the pink tint of s3????I dont know why but the display of note II appears a bit pinkish or i may be wrongg???

I remember on my S3 there was a setting in the display menu....I can't remember on top of my head but this setting would allow the S3 to optimize the screen image to save battery. If this setting is enabled on your note like my s3 was then that could be why its not being brighter.
The only thing disappointing about this are the other people showing the Note II being better than the iPhone.

How are you performing your test exactly?
You didn't buy it? How are you testing it in a room so dark then?
I've actually noticed, on my note 1, if you use the 'stock' internet browser and use a power saving mode, then it dims it using a very bluish tint, which looks quite different from just setting brightness at a lower level. So it could be test related.
I can't imagine any reason at all why the screen would be worse than the S3.
Samsung has said this is their best screen ever.

i found this
A method of determining implied sample areas for each data point of each color in a source pixel data specified in a first sub-pixel format is used for sub-pixel rendering an image on a display specified in a second sub-pixel format. Each of the first and second sub-pixel formats comprises a plurality of colored sub-pixels. The method comprises determining a geometric center of each colored sub-pixel of the first format to define a sampling point; and defining each implied sample area by forming lines that are substantially equidistant between the sampling point of one colored sub-pixel and the sampling point of another neighboring same color colored sub-pixel. A similar technique may be used for determining resample areas for computing color values for rendering an image specified in a first sub-pixel format on a display substantially comprising a plurality of colored sub-pixels arranged in a second sub-pixel format.

Let's not talk about engadget. Their integrity and competence is zero. They are always at war with samsung. I can give you a big list of proofs, but the discussion will just go OT.
Plain and simple, pentile is nowhere as good as standard RGB. No matter how you try to twist it.
If you manage to notice the difference between pentile and rgb on a dpi of 440 (440 dots per inch!), you should call the guinness book of records, because it means your sight is above human.
96 dpi is the average 1080p computer monitor / TV
150 dpi is normal top quality print
300 dpi is the limit visible by the human eye
440 dpi is overkill... pentile or not pentile... irrelevant

Agreed. It's why I bought a One X over the SGS3. But since, starting with the N2, Samsung's moved away from it what's to be discussed? How bad the SGS3 and Galaxy Nexus were or how bad the SGS4 could have been? When GSMArena does their standardized testing we'll know how good the display is in color reproduction, brightness, and white balance. You can't measure anything on a trade show floor except whether a display looks good or doesn't.
Are people really complaining about pentile at 440 PPI? Are you ****ing kidding me? Drop the crack pipe and wake up.
i want to ask about it's screen if it strong enough,, or as s3 easy to broke :crying::crying:
It is Pentile (RGBG .. Red Green Blue Green) .. take any 2x2 sub-pixel square and you get your pixel .. it is pentile .. just rotated 45° and different shape .. still pentile .. and it is a horrible technology

People love to cry over anything before knowing the facts, I mean your eyes have to be like a ****ing microscope to see the difference at this point.
To me though OLED is better than LCD and I can never go back now thanx to something we can actually see with the naked eye and that's the blacks are grey on LCDs, especially at night.

Does the screen have a bluish tint in the whites similar to galaxy s3?

have they improved it? I can't find any close picture comparisons.. Thanks.

Looks better, but still there. I guess they're doing it to increase screen life or something, but absolutely hate that.
Once I installed Perseus on my Note II, I could hardly believe I'm looking at the same screen. Looks even better than iPhone 5 after calibration
yeah, but note 2 doesn't have pentile, doesn't it have a superior screen?
It does, yeah. But you can still see the bluish tint there. SIII/IV it's more greenish isn't it?
I have no idea why Samsung doesn't use RGB instead, is it because it isn't yet available for high PPI full HD screens?

I believe posters on here claimed cost reasons. too bad.. I prefer the overall design and build, screensize to handset ratio of the s4, but like the htc one screen..
That might not be apparent in normal vision though. S3 has noticeable graininess, but the pixel density on S4 should pretty much settle that IMO.
And I don't know if they took the screenshot with adobe RGB mode or saturated standard mode.
I love SAMOLED, but just wish if they could switch entirely to RGB. Wouldn't mind paying a few extra bucks either tbh if they implemented that on Note 3.

It does, yeah. But you can still see the bluish tint there. SIII/IV it's more greenish isn't it?
I have no idea why Samsung doesn't use RGB instead, is it because it isn't yet available for high PPI full HD screens?

I don't think they can manufacture FHD 1080p yet. At least not in the amounts that the GS4 would demand at a reasonable price.

Yup, two issues: sharpness and color. It looks like the higher resolution overcame the less sharp drawback of pentile, but color tint looks is still there. need to verify what color mode the phone was in though.
welll, just got back from store. htc one's have multiple dipslay with different WB. but the s4 definitely had better WB in my eyes.

Why is this thread even open ? Amoleds will always have a bluish tint. LCDs always have better whites but suffer on black levels.

if you read my response, you'll see that the One has a more bluish tint than the S4.
