Nexus S super amoled display Vs Vibrant

I have both the Nexus S and a Vibrant. I must say that the Nexus S super amoled display looks better then the Vibrant super amoled display and, it's not the brightness. I turned the Nexus S screen to the lowest setting and, I turned the Vibrant to the highest setting as a result the Nexus S screen looks alot better. What's you all thoughts on this?...please don't say that the vibrant is a defective product because, this will be my 4'th Vibrant do to this...thanks.

Every SAMOLED screen has its own characteristics, there are no two SAMOLED screens that are identical, they just have to fall between an upper and lower specification

I think that a newer display should come with a change log...lol but, trust me the Nexus S display is indeed a different better screen. I thought that a LCD was a LCD Super Amoled was a Super Amoled, just a different resolution and, size. It would be nice to let a customer know what they are buying. Thanks.

Really, looking at both displays and back of the boxes checking to see if both are super amoled displays drove me crazy, I knew it was't my eyes. Sucks my Vibrant SUCK!

I've noticed this as well... that is of you didn't get one with the ugly yellow/grey tint screen. I'm on my 6th sns and this one has the best amoled screen I've ever seen. I went through a few vibrants and ended up with a pretty nice one there too but there's no comparison with the particular nexus s. It even looks better than my buddy's fascinate which has a better screen than any vibrant I've seen or owned. Whites on this phone are awesome and very neutral with barely any tint at all. Even at its lowest brightness setting I don't have any purple or pink on the status bar pull down. Even on my phones that didn't have this exact quality screen still were great looking amoleds.

I had 3 NS prior to the one I have now. The first one had a piss yellow screen, the second one had a off purple hue and the third had wifi issues....
The forth one is perfect in every way

I switched from the Sprint Epic to the Nexus S and i have to agree, my epics screen just didn't look as good as the nexus one did. On the epic i would normally set the brightness to halfway and it looked decent but on my nexus i leave it on auto and regardless of where i am it looks amazing. I don't know why but it does look better

So I take it, Super Amoled's are not all the same. I think they don't tell us this because of business reasons. Besides, I think it would be cool to know the name of my Nexus S screen cause I know for a fact the Nexus S has the best Amoled display out there.

My guess is that they use the same basic technology but given the time between release dates some new parts or processes may have gone into the making of the Nexus S screens. The Nexus S definitely has a Super Active-Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (SAMOLED) but just looks slightly better. Heck it might even be due to the Contour Display (as it is called), who knows?

My Vibrant's screen looks a million times better than my Nexus. I'm on my second Nexus, both of them were bad, and so was the demo in the store. I'd rather have the blue tinge on the Vibrant over either screen I have seen on the Nexus.

I also dabble in mastering the obvious on occasion.

its funny when it comes to screen on the nexus S, we find almost the same people replying " including me "
i think we reached a points where we are the " experts " of the screens now.
**** the phone. lets test screens. more fun
i think i would be a great quality control employee if this keeps up ^_^

I've been talking to supercurio about the screen issues, he says that they are fixable and that the contrast and gamma settings aren't correct. This totally makes sense to me, but I'm waiting to hear back on whether it will be included in his program or if this is a setting somewhere where I can adjust it.

Do all Nexus 7 have gray scale issue?

It starts to bother me like some of the texts on the websites are really hard to read. I was thinking to replace mine cuz mine also had screen separation and dimming/flicking issues. But I am seeing a lot of threads saying they actually got worse ones, so is it worth for me to send mine back or not? Do all the Nexus 7 have the same problem? Thx for help, guys.

If you're having a hard time reading then replace it. I bought a N7 for my gf (mine is a c60, hers c70) and my screen is slightly washed out compared to hers but nowhere near the level of not being able to read stuff.

I don't think a replacement will help with the washed out colors, white saturation, unclear small text, etc.
I've had four Nexus 7s, they have all had the same issues. I'm hoping this is something Google can fix with an update.

Mine doesn't have any screen issues just that stupid speaker...

It's possible you may just not notice it. I suspect if you visit this page you may have a hard time seeing any boxes after 249 or 250. I'm not certain, but I think this is what is leading to some small text on white backgrounds to be a bit distorted.
http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/white.php

Honestly I think at least some complaints about the screen come from people who aren't used to properly adjusted neutral displays, which IPS panels typically are.
I noticed my N7 looked less saturated compared to my G2 but is quite similar to my calibrated IPS monitor and my calibrated HDTV.
Not saying there aren't legitament issues out there, but it might not be as common as these forums make it look

There seems to be something wrong with the greens and yellows to me. They look very pastel. Comparing this to every tablet I own, Nook Color, Touch Pad, iPad 3, the Nexus 7 those two colors look more faded, other colors seem fine though.

Thx for the responses,guys. Well I don't expect too much about the display cuz overall that's already good enough for the bucks... I used a few of Samsung and apple devices, those displays are comfortable & sharp...but Asus........, I'm just a little bit disappointed about this one Guess I'll just hang on and see if I can get used to it otherwise just send it back to Google.

Amoled Burn In ?

So I have been reading around a lot about amoled burn-in now in the past in had crazy problems with amoled screen i.e pink hue. Now I'm in absolute love with my new gs4 and want it to last a long time but I'm afraid I might get that dreadful burn-in. Anyone else worried??

Not at all. I purchased the S1 on launch. It went to my wife and now my daughter has it. Still going with no problems. I bought the S2 at launch. Passed it down to my other daughter. Still going with no problems. I still have my work S3 which has no problems. And I preordered the S4 and love it. So you could call me a fanboy of Samsung but you would be wrong. I have owned all types and manufacturers. Including iPhone LOL. For me personally, Samsung has been the best phone around and I have not had any issues with them.
Ummmm I mean yes I am scared to death and I think you should dump the S4 right away. I would sacrifice and take it off your hands for $100

Lol:what: only a 100. Nah I love this phone just wanted to get others opinions

I have burn in on my GNexus and my epic touch. It's not too visible but I notice it every now an then. On the epic touch it is on the notification bar area when I go into gallery to view a full size image on white images I can notice the top area is darkend. I think this is due to how I use my device. I have the screen on for a good 6-7 hours a day at work listening to YouTube.

I had burn in with my s2 with the amoled+ screen. Something else failed on the phone and the refurb didn't have burn in already. I had burn in of the notification area and keyboard letters.

I have my s2 and there is a very slight burn with a line for the bottom row of icons on the home screen. But you can only see it on a very cold day and when the screen is 100% white. On a regular temperature day it is not noticeable at all.

I've had several of Samsung's phones all with amoled screens and I've never had any problems with them. I haven't even heard of that happening, which doesn't mean it's impossible, but it's probably fairly unlikely that you will have that issue on the S4.

I had the OG Epic, E4GT, S2, S3, and got the S4 on the launch date early morning (first phone I ever got at launch haha) and I have never had any problems!

My gnex had burn in issues but you could only really tell when the brightness was less than 50%.

This week I'm sending my Nexus S out to pasture. I am the 2nd over and I bought it with the burn-in. It's hard to tell from the picture but it looks like ginger bread and beautiful widgets are to blame. That's what brought me here. Can I expect more of the same? I realize my device is very old in Android years and hopefully the screens are better.

It probably will eventually get burn in. Long screen on times while using the phone without the screen changing much is culprit. A repair center I was at said they would get you a replacement if you had tep.

I have to think this can/will happen depending on the usage. If you have your screen to never time out and it is left on for most the day on 100% brightness or maybe if you are using the device as your alarm clock every night and the screen is kept bright. Have never done any of these things but would like to hear from someone that has used a similar device every night as an alarm clock.

Yup I think it depends on your usage model.& many will never see burn-in on the screen. But a major use of my phone is for navigation in the car. The screen is on for maybe hours at a time and, in summer, gets hot and on full brightness. Google Navigation has display elements on the screen that are essentially static. So I decided AMOLED was a bit of a poor choice, and went for a LCD phone. YMMV.
Shame, I would have maybe considered an S4 if it had an LCD.

To all those saying "impossible", "using it for year and year with no burn-in" etc, here, my 2 cents. The attached pictures is a burn-in on my SGS3, i took a pic with the screen displaying an all gray test pattern, on low brightness. I did post-process the pic to make it more visible, so in reality it doesn't look that bad, but it is definitely there and is definitely bad enough to notice on most relatively evenly-colored, yet bright enough, apps. I've noticed it first while browsing the Google Play market
BTW, the burn-in source is very obvious, it's the Waze navigation app elements, the one in the middle is ETA. Not too surprising, considering the fact the screen runs at max brightness and is really hot during navigation, true most of the year here.
PS: The device is a bit under 1 year old

[Q] Galaxy S4 screen burn-in probability?

So. I'm trying to decide between the Galaxy S4 i9505 and the HTC One, and the only thing that bothers me with the S4 is the fact that AMOLED screens are capable of screen burn-in. I didn't see a single thread about S4 screen burn-in, but I know that for example the S3 had issues with screen burn-in too. I never used any smartphone except for Xperias, which always use TFT screens, so I don't have any experiences. My question is: Should I worry about screen burn-in or is it fixed? I would use the Google Edition rom which has black statusbar if that matters. Thanks in advance, ChongWiz

Hello friend, I too hate the screen burn-ins of SAMOLED screens. The screen on the S3 definitely had screen burn-ins (especially visible in dark rooms showing black images) but on my S4 I havent seen ANY screen burn ins at all. Yes the whites looks blueish and yes there is purple smear but the display still is amazing and doesnt have burn-ins :good:

Owned all versions of the galaxy series and I've never had permanent screen burn. Lots of screen on time keep most devices 2 years and no noticeable dimming either.

Thanks for the answers, now I'm sure I will get an S4 asap. Good day for everyone!

all OLED screen will burn in by design, include AMOLED, the different is just how serious, my 2 years old S2 have a little burn in at the notification bar (for the battery icon and clock area)
p.s. the blue color is the worst one, and green is the least, due to the material in use

In the video in the review below, the reviewer said that she had started to see burn-in on her S4 are only 1 month.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_APG3kLiYs
EDIT: though i have never see any burn-in on my S3 after several months, though i kept the brightness low and did not keep the screen on for an extended time with a static image.

Based on what??? All Amoled screens will burn in. All... of... them... Yours will as well. Apparently not everybody sees it but it will, 100.00% sure.
It remains an awesome screen though :good:

meh, had S3 for 7 months, not a single trace of burn in (checked with RGB full screen tests). i think people who get burn do too much of same stuff, if you message all day long and nothing else, messaging interface might burn in and such.
if you are a "normal" user, who doesn't get stuck up on one particular task all the time, you'll be fine.

I actually owned the whole Galaxy Series SGS1 to now SGS4 and i never had the burn-in issue yet to date, i owned every phone about a year and sold them to got friends of mine and still if i look at their phones i can't notice burn-in at least on the SGS3 i was last week, my GNex which had AMOLED too has a bit of a burn-in but not that you may say "omg that looks awful", you really have to look very closely, i actually think in that time where burn-in gets a serious issue you have a new phone anyway.

I had horrible burn in on my Note I.
Could see the full keyboard like a shadow.
Same with the top bar. Could see the battery icon & alarm icon.
finally got it replaced (screen only).
Burn in came back though.
Screen was noticeably brighter when replaced.

LCD panel too close to digitizer?

anyone else noticing that LCD liquid effect from simple touches of the screen? started noticing it when i had the TPU case, and if i kinda bumped the edges, i'd see that liquid effect (like when you push on an LCD monitor or TV or something)
then i started realizing that even w/o the case, it does it all over the screen. you don't even have to be pressing hard and you start to see that liquid effect already.
obviously AMOLED doesn't tend to have these issues (i guess bc of how their screen is made, the glass seems MUCH harder, like on the GS3/4) because comparing an AMOLED panel with glass to an LCD, you can even feel a difference...from my expeirence with LCD (rezound, DNA, G2) the glass flexes much more which can cause that liquid movement...whereas with amoled (nexus, Gs3, GS4) the glass doesn't flex at all so it doesn't produce that effect.
i'm only worried bc recently i've been noticing that without much pressure, it's still starting to do it. is it that the LCD is way too close to the digitzer that this is happening, or what?
i've noticed it on my co-workers G2 as well, and i've seen some posts about it here, but i'm curious as to the consensus.

exactly. yeah, glad to know it wasn't just mine. the TPU from verizon was pretty damn tight, so it hugged those bezels and i guess that's what made it flex more.

yeah, old nexus 7 did too, and i'm starting to notice my new nexus 7 does.
i think these things degrade over time, personally. the liquid effect didn't seem nearly as bad the first few weeks of having the G2, and now it's worse..
just like the first month of having the new Nexus 7 it was fine, and now it's starting to get the same effect.

I have the diztronic case on and the LCD panel doesn't have the liquid effect. As for amoled, I've never had a good experience with it. On the S2 and S3 I had those black spots that can be common on amoled panels. I then got some slight screen burn in the S3. I didn't have these two issues on the S4 but it did have the scrolling blur problem with dark backgrounds.

Don't have this issue yet with the D803(Canada). Maybe its only a VZW issue....?

Lol, I have adjusted quite well and don't think that it's a massive difference compared to the G2. Sure it's bigger, but not night and day.
And I actually missed amoled. I don't do graphic design on my phone so I actually appreciate the crazy pop of the colors and the deep blacks. And this screen doesn't have those annoying dots all over it which was driving me crazy on the G2 in certain lighting conditions.
But the G2 is a great phone man, I totally understand you keeping it. I haven't looked back like you thought I would though lol. I absolutely love this device lol.
Keep in touch man!

No it isn't..
2 is 33% less than 3 (in this case 1 = 33%)
3 is 50% more than 2 (in this case 1 = 50%)
