sRGB vs. RGB - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It's a new feature in N and from what I can tell it noticeably lowers the saturation levels of the OLED to more of an LCD style. I've always preferred LCDs over AMOLEDs simply because they look more natural in color accuracy. What do you guys think and has anyone settled on one specific mode or are u switching based on the screen content?

Its not a new feature on the 6p. We've had an srgb option forever.
I personally use ex kernel and tweak saturation to around 22. The srgb mode is too desaturated on my screen.

Epic video calibration

Being a home theater enthusiast and calibrating every hdtv I've got me thinking if its possible on android too. And I don't mean the sensitivity or the like. I mean video as in color and brightness. I watch alot of videos and to my experience both are off. Brightness is way too low you can't make out details in dark scenes. Some would say the color is oversaturated... it isn't. Brightness is too low making colors seem this way. A few notches in the brightness scale should take care of it. Anyone know if its possible?

Try manually setting your brightness settings in SETTINGS->DISPLAY->BRIGHTNESS?
I'm a professional video editor and I'm not THAT crazy about having perfect settings for watching video on my phone. Why? I'm usually not in ideal viewing conditions to watch an internet quality video for a few moments on a 4 inch screen with a dinky mono speaker.
Although, I know a few Apple Engineers in Cupertino that are REAL geeks that put bars and tone on their iPhone to just show off.

It's in vision kernel.
I was thinking of having my Windows desktop show on my Epic's screen using a VNC client. Plop the colorimeter on the Epic, and run the color calibration software on Windows. That would generate an ICC profile for the Epic's screen.
The next question though is how do I get the Epic to apply the ICC profile?
And in case you're curious, my colorimeter measured 7730-7740 K for pure white on the Epic's screen. So yes, it's rather blue.
Yea, nothing personal to the OP, but the colors are most definitely oversaturated. Has nothing to do with the brightness. Samsung, being a display manufacturer as well as a phone manufacturer, has display manufacturer tendencies. One of which is to oversaturate color on a display in order to give a "wow factor" to indiscriminate purchasers who generally assume that brighter and more vivid are better. Every amoled display used on a phone to date has had blooming out the wazoo. Not to mention how ridiculous skin tones look in photographs. I also wish there were a way to calibrate these things. I use a Thunderbolt which is now exhibiting some of the same issues with it's SLCD screen. Although I'm pretty sure that all they did was take the screens used on the EVO and pump up the color saturation. Guessing that's internally what the "S" stands for. The whites are nicer on the thunderbolt though, so at least I get that I guess.

galaxy s II display contrast

Hello.
Anyone else noticed that the display is lower quality than sgs ?
I mean in terms of gamma.
I am a photographer and I was amazed how good the contrast and brightness f the first galaxy was, however this one seems to have way too big contrast, making everythig that is dark much darker, giving a fake and strange appearence.
Also the auto brightness in general is lower than sgs.
Does somebody know if it can be tweaked through a kernel recompile, like sharpness and color in voodoo ?
Go to options-->display-->uncheck automatical screen power adjustme(don't know the exact english term, got it in dutch). I bet it is this again...
Let me know... you're not the first one.
No, it's not that but thanks
It's the actual gamma of the driver I think
However I did notice there is now a "background effects" that can adjust saturation and hue so there is access to the drivers. Maybe a bunch of new effects added there like "classic gamma, normal saturation..."
I came from the captivate, and ran just about every rom that was out there. One of the ubiquitous mods was the color fix. I noticed when I first booted the SGS2 up, the color was off (in relation to my expectations) sure enough in display settings there was an option to change it. Without looking I believe it's called "cinema", which perfectly returned that color richness I loved.

there is something wrong with auto brightness , it doesnt work very well , but its not true that SGS 2 has a lower quality display than sgs , Super AMOLED Plus displays are an upgrade to Super AMOLED. They use a real-stripe subpixel matrix and not pentile - and so has 50% more sub-pixels. The PPI is a bit larger but Samsung will soon make them at much higher resolutions. Super AMOLED Plus displays are also thinner, brighter and use 18% less energy than the older Super AMOLED displays.

[Q] Does selecting different display modes affect battery ?

Hey guys
Was just wondering if setting the display mode to Basic will use less battery than if you set it to Adapt display.
Colours are more vibrant and brighter on Adapt display.
Where as colours on basic are less vibrant and less bright .
AMOLED Cinema is an optimal setting. If you select that and deselect Auto-brightness and set the brightness level to something comforting to the eyes, you may be able to achieve better battery life. Adaptive displays uses CPU power and forces the CPU to analyze GPU algorithms to tone down the display when needed, thus draining some power.

Same I use Basic.
Colors are most accurate and in fact Basic represents 99-100% of the sRGB color standard.
Other options too over saturated.
Basic reminds me of conventional LCD panels. By the way, stay away from from "AMOLED Photo," makes colors way too warm.
Am gonna stick to Basic .
I tried Adaptive display and battery was drained badly

What is Srgb ? And why should I use

People were talking about Srgb in the nexus 6p .. I tried it and the colors looked weird to me. Why would I use this feature ?
sRGB is a method of rendering colors to which the colors drawn are, in a sense, more basic and more true to the central RGB color matrix. Newer display technology is capable of rendering a wider range of colors which can increase saturation and give things a more "popping" visual as they are "truer than life". Using the sRGB setting will tone down those exaggerated colors and bring them closer to what you would see in the real world. I doubt you would see much if any performance impact be it positive or negative to the processor or battery since the technology being used can handle these varieties of colors easily. So if you find your screen to be more appealing in sRGB mode as you like LCD-like visuals versus the heavily saturated Samsung-like AMOLEDs, then you may benefit from using it. In a real-world application, I can see it being useful for seeing how your photos would really display on print or a standard LCD screen as it is reducing the range of colors and saturation created artificially by screen enhancements.

Which screen calibration setting are you using?

I'm curious to see what most people are using for the screen calibration setting on their OP5, I'm currently using DCI-P3.
I'm using the Default. Whites are a lot whiter and colours seem to be more vibrant than DCI-P3.
Default here aw well. sRGB looked a bit washed out and DCI-P3 too warm.
DCI-P3 here. Stock is too cool (whites appear blue) and over-saturated. I tend to prefer more accurate colors.

I don't prefer any if them, after every 2 or 3 days I switch the preset.
sRGB has more real like colour. Default is most saturated of them, DCI-P3 warmer and less saturation compared to default.
After owning a pixel 2 xl, i had to switch all my devices to srgb everything else looks insane. Like colours were taken out of a teenage girls wardrobe. Waaaay too bright, waaaay too loud
