I came from a phone that was like having a light bulb on in your face at night so maybe my opinion is affected a bit but the minimum brightness on this phone is GREAT.
To me it seems exactly the same as with the 3t.
i always activate nightmode as well as battery saver (makes the display a bit dimmer)
The minimum brightness feels about the same as my op3 was. Just got my op6 today. This thing is pretty nice.
Does anyone else get a weird fairly obvious blue tint when you're on minimum brightness? It's especially terrible in dark grey themed apps.
I believe this is just the price you pay with current OLED technology, my Nexus 6 had a very obvious purple tint on minimum brightness.
I also have the purple tint at minimum brightness, guess the oled need some time to warm up from black/off to color. Color to color on low brightness is fine.
the display can get very low which is excellent for my needs

How well do you know your fifty shades of grey? Rate this thread to express how good the Nokia 7 Plus's display contrast is. A higher rating indicates that black is true black, rather than a very dark gray.

Hello. I would like to ask about the deep blacks on low brightness in an environment without a light. I read before sleep, and I set my nexus 6p amoled to black with white text. Knowing that LCD cannot block all the light for blacks, I want to know how strong the gray shade is. I searched for an image taken from the display during night with no luck. Though considering the variable exposure of photos I guess it is useless to see that. Unfortunately the same can be said about human perception, but anyway I really appreciate any thought on the matter.
So couple of days later and I have the phone. I will post my opinion on the screen here for anyone wondering.
First about the thread topic: The blacks do look grayish in a very dark environment, so compared to an amoled the backlight is visible, however, if the brightness is brought all the way down to minimum, it is bearable.
According to this statistics the Nokia 7 plus screen gets a top score in contrast among LCDs. According to Nokia their screens have an additional polarizing layer which filters more backlight for darks. I confirm that even with an ambient light the grayish tone of blacks is not visible.
Now before discussing the cons of the screen, I have to say that I consider it a good screen. The contrast is good, colors pop out (not as much as amoleds), the sunlight reading is good (not excellent, 3.5 out of 5, amoleds capped at 3), and I enjoy watching movies, peculiarly even more than my nexus 7 amoled, I think it has to do with that faint grayish blacks! Since if I increase the amoled brightness the contrast will increase to an unnatural level for movies (just my opinion).
Now the shortcoming is the absence of white balance adjustment, on software side. This absence is problematic in this case because it is a very cold screen, which means the colors are a little toward blue tones. On the same website if you look at the "Color Temperature" you see it scores 8105, compared to 6863 of Pixel 2. How important this is? It is personal preference! I found turning on the night mode with a very light intensity fixes the problem; Yet we need more color control like in Oxygen OS from Oneplus. Will be happy to see it included in pure android since the needed filters exist as core android libraries.
If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the OnePlus 6's display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.

The colors are little too saturated like in samsung phones in the past. Yup, there are color calibration modes....but one turns white into yellow and the other very dull.
In short, the default one is the best but be prepared for getting stunned with those over bright and punchy colors.
I use the adaptive Mode.
Its a good Mixture from sRGB and default.
Just for info, not all OP6's displays are the same. I ordered 2 devices,and test it both. I keep one with better display, more crisper, white is more cleaner, less yellowish like on other. The other one has more dirty washed color in comaprasion, and the one I keeped is more on white red balance. So, this is not secret, all displays are little different in all manufacturers. It is just lottery.
I have the issue that the white is warm/yellowish if I look at it really straight. As soon as I tilt it even the slightest bit, it all gets colder/blueish. No matter if I chose SRGB etc. It is not a big change in color, but it is quite irritating. Does anyone else face this issue?
I'm surprised at everyone on here, my display is overly blue by a good amount, I have the custom temperature setting set most of the way to warm.

Not Low Enough Compared to the Competition
The minimum screen brightness is worse with the LG G7 ThinQ compared to the competition such as Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy series, iPhones, and the Oneplus.
I've noticed this issue when I bought 6 LG V30s from T-Mobile and all 6 of them had the noticeable uneven lighting on their POLED displays after lowering the brightness below a certain percentage.
After doing some research as well as calling LG several times, the rep admitted that the reason for the limited the screen brightness was due to a software restriction LG placed for the V30 to hide the uneven lighting even though the Android SDK allows it to be lowered more.
Now with the LG G7 ThinQ, even though this issue does not exist with this phone, LG have forgotten to disable the software limit they had originally put for the LG V30s minimum brightness.
In conclusion, due to a software restriction LG put for the V30 and later forgot to disable for the LG G7 ThinQ, the screen brightness does not get as low as the competition even when comparing LCD phones like the iPhones.
For people with light sensitivity, do not buy from LG.
Agreed minimum brightness on the G7 is pretty meh, along with the screen in general (I'm coming from a delicate samsung galaxy s8 which had a gorgeous OLED screen that I couldn't find a proper protector to wrap around the silly curves.) Tho the max brightness levels are great with the LG! To take advantage of that I threw this privacy guard/glass screen protector on my G7 and I'm not looking back - the amount of light it cuts parasitically makes bedtime reading much closer to where I like it, and I get lots of privacy for on the subway etc. Privacy guards are not for everyone, some people hate them.
Terrible lowest brightness. It's very bright making it uncomfortable to watch in the dark.

If you use the Night Owl app for Android, you can solve this problem. It allows you to lower the brightness further. I just installed it. I haven't tried Lux yet, but that app may also have an option to lower the brightness beyond the minimum...?
I really don't understand the low rating here. I'd say it has a really low minimum light level. In a completely dark room, it's comfortable in use. My comparison is a previous Samsung phone. Even with an LCD panel, I think G7 does really well.
Rate this thread to express how well you can see the Google Pixel 3 XL's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.

i think its below average but i put 3. feels a little darker than the nexus 6 i had since launch, which wasnt great.
It seems only a little brighter than my Pixel 2 XL. However, it is much more visible in sunlight and the colors are more vibrant outdoors. Compared to other flagship phones? I'd say it's not quite as bright as the Note 9 or Galaxy S9, but it seems plenty good enough in all conditions for my use, indoors and outdoors.
I find myself having to keep this on max brightness all the time, whereas on my old pixel xl I could get by on 50-75%. It is definitely dimmer than the pixel xl, ugh
Has anyone tried High Brightness Mode by flar2 in the app store?

It will give you extra brightness if you have a custom kernel.
Does this app help with the overall experience, and how does it affect battery life? I ask because I don't have a Pixel 3XL yet, and was very disappointed when I evaluated one yesterday at the Verizon store and turned brightness to less than 100%. Color accuracy is not a particular concern, but being able to see the screen is.
First time Pixel Owner here, I find the 3XL having slightly disappointing brightness. On my old phone which was the HTC 10 I set mine to around 45-50% on a regular basis and it was pretty bright, occasionally bumped to 70% while being outdoors. On a 3XL I had to set to 70% minimum in order to be able to watch videos comfortably, normally 90-Max outdoors.
Agree with others here, brightness isn't very good, we've finally had some sun here in the UK and when I'm outside it's very hard to see! I came from a Note 8 so it's going to be hard to see in the summer!
Brightness outdoors - Perfect, can see everything in sunlight even with polarized sunglasses. (100%)
From there it gets dark quickly, typical setting for indoors is 70%.
Only in darkness can <50% be used.
The screen gets brighter with time.
Brightness sucks. I live in Tulsa (fairly sunny). If the sun is out without clouds the screen is virtually un-viewable if you aren't standing in a shaded area.
P3 screen brightness isn't great and the Samsung and OnePlus are somewhat better, but frankly none are fun to use to use in direct sun. Rather than squint I'm just going to move into the shade whenever possible, no matter what phone I have.

Colors distort a bit on the minimum brightness setting
Minimum brightness is fantastic, especially since you can set night mode to make the screen even darker. The darkest setting is TOO dark for me, even in bed! No complaints from the SO
Got mine this week. I noticed some random, white flickering while on the lowest brightness (with night mode on, lowered "lightness" and warmest color temperature).
Will troubleshoot in the morning and report back if it persists.
This aside, min brightness is great. If using a dark mode app (like Reddit or XDA Labs), the whole screen feels less bright than the light from my AC. There is a bit of noticeable... something, while scrolling. When scrolling with an AMOLED black background on low brightness, the text/image looks thinner, kind of as if it took a few miliseconds for the pixel to turn on. Feels kind of like a ghost, or as if you squeezed the image. This is very subtle, but noticeable if you look for it.
Overall, the screen is amazing to look at in the middle of the night comfortably. Just be careful not to blind yourself with the fingerprint light.

Have you tried the DC dimming option in Utilities/OnePlus Laboratory? I find it more comfortable to use this mode in the dark.

I had not, but now I did. It's definitely darker, and there's noticeably more "white bleeding", but no flickering at all.
I do prefer this feature on.
