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

The picture of earth is technically a 4K or greater (5200x3000) wallpaper, but yes the 2K wall papers do make the most of the display.

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.

If anyone has a s3 (or similar big screen) and nexus 4, would you be kind and share a pic with both next to each other with screens on?
I`d like a big screen phone (coming from a 4 inch). Thinking about buying this in January...
So is the nexus 4 screen big?

Oh my, finally an Android tablet that doesnt feel like a downgrade from an Android mobile phone.
Nice lcd screen, nice weight balance, nice keyboard and most of all so smooth, exactly like the Note 2 I had before.
I'm not a big fan of Touchwiz but on this tablet it actually seems to make more sense than in a phone.
I've wasted a lot of money on Android tablets, hope this one lasts me for a while lol!

In portrait mode top left on about 4-5cm and top right side 2-3cm. Shop wouldn't replace it... It's true that in normal use you don't see it, only with dark movies. My Tab2 was as bad or worse but on the 10.1 screen it wasn't so bothersome.
If it bothers me I will try to send it in under warranty.

I dont know I'm living with it for now. Fact is that when you flex the tablet the whole screen goes black or white so probably there is something with how these tablets are built. Also if I press at the spot the light bleed disappears...

Welcome to the club! While I was very happy with mine out of the box I'm getting a lot of pleasure out of tweeking the performance and trying out different apps to take advantage of the stylus (in between playing a shed load of games that wouldnt run on my old tablet).
There is no need to open a new thread because you bought the tablet. Imagine everyone who buys Galaxy Note 8.0 to open a new thread.

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.

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 just bought my Nexus 4 today and i noticed it has the same dots on screen as my old Live With Walkman has. It isnt nearly as bad as on my Live With Walkman, but it is noticeable when some bright light or sun is pointed at my screen.
Is it just me or is everyones screen like that? It really anoys me, should i return the phone...?
I took a picture of my LWW but cant take the one on Nexus. Its the same as on my Nexus except the dots are around 5mm apart...
Its the digitizer...no worries.
It is a 100% normal. As "PsyOr" stated, it's the digitizer. The reason why you notice it more on the Nexus 4 in oppose to tradition touch screen phones is because of LG's "zero gap" technology.
