Yes, the screen is good but not as the original S4. It uses the same TFT screen that Sony uses in their Xperia Z.

Wow...you sure about that? Didn't hear anyone complain yet...
I have no pictures to prove it but I can see my screen clearly at any angle. I can even lay my head flat on the table next to it and read all the Icons. The sunlight readability absolutely trumps any minor shortfall the screen has. Contrast is excellent as well.
I did notice that when wearing polarized sunglasses you get a slight rainbow effect on light colors, but again, at least you can see it in sunlight.

So on low brightness the whites seem a bit yellow. Can anyone confirm this?

Its a common problem, at 0% brightness white is a tad yellow but still its much better than having blue/green or pink tint.I've tested lots of S3's in various stores all shows same phenomenon so getting your set swapped wont solve any purpose.

Well even at high brightness settings it looks a bit yellow. When I tilt the phone it looks more white and when I tilt it back you can clearly see the white is a bit yellow.

Yes its a "Bit" yellow on low brightness but on high brightness mine is pure white, its common with AMOLED they are unable to attain LCD whites.However this doesn't bother me much because I'm used to it now, keep in mind its not an tint screen is tuned bit warmer.

Well.. It even seems to be a pretty pink compared to the GS Plus. Both at full brightness.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I think it's configured this way because blue pixels expire the quickest in amoled screens </not expert opinion>.
In either case, past phones have been able to use color controls like supercurio's app to change the tint. (And, by then you might've gotten used to it anyway.)

Love the note it is fantastic , I have one minor complaint the brightness is no where near as bright as the s3

Did you change the brightness in the drop down menu only?
That slider is just a fine tune for the actual setting.
Go into settings and display, and there is a REAL brightness slider there.
Note 2 is supposed to be brighter 450nit vs 350nit $3
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Interesting. Could this be due to lack of consistency in manufacturing? GSMArena said that their review unit is less bright than the one they previewed.
My device is bright enough.No problem at all under sunny conditions.
Hey guys, I think we all confused about what the real question is, i mean my NOTE 2 is bright enough too. but I think what he means is, the quality not the brightness. Honestly I have the same problem, when I compare my s3 to my note2, the s3 the color is more alive, for example, when you look at the icons in your desktop is not NEAT as the s3. When I had my s3 I faced the same problem, what i did was change my ROM but in this case, we have to wait until they release more rom for the note2.

I got mine today from Amazon uk and I must say that I am a bit disappointed from the screen. I watched many reviews and all of them were talking for one of the best displays out there. Well they probably haven't seen Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 super amoled + magic. I will post a video later on with both devices playing a trailer from imdb.
Don't get wrong here. I love it but it just can't display black. Period.

I couldn't agree with you more. The Galaxy tab was retailing at 700 us while the nexus a fraction of that. However the amoled display on my "old" Sammy tab 7.7 is out of this world. The black and the color reproduction are just stunning. I was used to that display and the gnex looks to me a bit washed out. Other than that is is really great.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk 2
I suppose he is talking about the colours?
They are a little bit washed out and the white is a bit yellow when compared to my nexus 4 that has francos gamma settings applied.
However, when gamma controls are ported to the Nexus 7 the screen will look great with some tweaking. :thumbup:
Guys you do realise this screen is one of the few ones actually calibrated in the factory at two different stages and that the colours are accurate. What you see in the unfortunate Samsung models etc is a screen just with ridiculously saturated unrealistic colours. You guys need to train your eyes to see real quality...

I'm not sure, maybe I just don't pay that much attention, but I've never been bothered by this, and I barely ever notice it.

Yeah I find this annoying. I notice it often.
I didn't notice these dots on my HTC One or Xperia T. I guess LG needs to work on this.
Here is a comparison between the G3, S5, and Note 3 screens. As you can see the AMOLED is heavily saturated when compared to the G3. The 2k screen stands out in comparison with the amount of detail that it displays. The blacks are close in color to me at least, but you can be the judge of that. All of the phones were on AUTO brightness for consistency. Pictures were taken with the S5 and the Note 3 respectively.
The G3 is a comfortable size, and I prefer its size over that of my wife's S5. I really enjoyed my Note 3, but this phone just feels much better, and the back buttons really make a difference.
EDIT Updated:
(I had another picture but the file got corrupted for some reason, I'll retake it and post it here)
Thanks for this but I think it would be better if you used the same background on all the phones so you can see the difference better vs different background pics

Looks really nice.. Kind of over saturated but not as bad as amoled panels. Was a big fan of amoled screens but now I prefer more accurate display. I think amoled screen make pictures look really good and punchy but lcd panels are better for viewing videos. Amoled screens are the worst for viewing dark scenes in movies and has terrible ghosting. Do you prefer the s5 screen or g3?

I prefer the G3, when I use my wife's S5 it's like you are downgrading honestly. The G3's screen feels more accurate to me and the size is much better for reading through text and as you stated watching videos. I had a Note 3 before this became my daily phone so if that gives you any insight.

Apparently lg is making their own sapphire glass as well. But there's a link in the accessories section where you can get a Tempered glass screen protector with full body protector for $10 or around £7. Bought 2 of them for lg g3 and galaxy s4. brilliant offer.. I paid £13 for a normal spigen plastic screen protector so can go wrong for the price and gives you that extra protection.

Was there a noticable difference in size when holding the G3 when compared to the S5? I currently have the S5 and while it already feels a little big when I hold it, I'm scared the G3 will feel even bigger, since it is a bit bigger.
The G3 looks great but I hate talk about how over saturated the S5 looks. Samsung actually gives you a choice. Display mate actually rated the S5 as the most color accurate phone when set to cinema mode.
