I've found out, that the Amoled can't display perfect black. I tried the desktop clock thing, the blackle Google page (scrolled to black only area), and I made a photo in PhotoShop completely black and open it up in gallery.
What I noticed is, that the screen still is displaying something when it should be black. This is very easy to see if you put the phone to sleep when displaying such black.
What am I missing? Doesn't the Amoled completely turn of a pixel that is black? Can someone try to replicate this?
Do you think it's possible that I have an lcd desire and just don't know it?

I have also a Hero (with lcd display) and black on my Desire is "more black" than Hero's
For me it's ok
If you look at LCD screens through a circular polarisation filter you'll sometimes see coloured patterns on it, or it will get completely filtered out at a certain angle. To the best of my knowledge, OLEDs don't emit polarised light, so if you've been to see Avatar or another movie in Real3D and walked away with the glasses then you can use them as an LCD detector...
(The blacking out effect works as a cool CSI-esque monitor dust detector)
No disrespect, but... who cares???
So the blacks are not as deep as say, a Kuro plasma. This is a smartphone, not a home theater tv.

well real black "off pixel" don't use power so all the people who care about batterylife might care...

I don't think they do emit light on blacks. I have noticed that in a completely dark room I can't see blacks on my Desire at all, it emits no visual light. Maybe the black you were testing isn't pure black.

I do agree that it is much better than any lcd. BUT black should be no light at all. When you turn off the screen when all the pixels are supposed to be off, you see a change. You can also see the outline of the screen when it is in any of the previously mentioned methods of darkness.

I did the following test :
- found a room where I could be in complete darkness
- used the following enclosed file (a pure RGB=(0,0,0) 800x480 png file) and displayed it fullscreen on my phone.
- use the palm of a hand to cover the 4 lit buttons
- the screen is pretty damn BLACK ! (an LCD screen, next to it, also displaying black pixels, would look like a torchlight)
- After a minute or so, the eyes getting used to the darkness, I could very slightly see the screen. I don't know how the phone is built, but I'm guessing it's a light "leak" coming from the LED(s) of the 4 buttons.
I tried this procedure at various brightness settings (from min to max) : the remaining light coming from the screen did not change.
Is there a mod to kill the buttons backlight ?
It is possible to kill the backlights, but have not tried it myself.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=704977&highlight=buttons+backlight
Ok, switched off the buttons backlight thx to Flaggie. The screen indeed still emits some light when displaying a full screen black picture. Strange.
It would be interesting to get an explanation from HTC about this, but i'm pretty sure it pointless hoping they would reply to such a question. I'll give it a try...
Perhaps you hae one of those new Desire models with a LCD screen?
No, I bought it the day it came out. Try out on your own. The test I detailed is pretty straight forward...

That is what I thought at first, but than the amount of light on dark would change when you change the brightness.

OMG does any of you know how a led screen works? lol Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode its name clearly states that the pixels are self-illuminating so clearly unless the screen is of the display is always going to give some light off
It is actually the other way around. They are self emitting, they can turn off. LCDs, however have a backlight, which doesn't turn off, so some light still passes through.

OLED can havae infinate contrast ratios. I have a cowon s9, it has an OLED screen and in a pitch black room you cannot tell it's on. The desire does emit some light even on true black :-/

Unlike over saturated colors and Pentile jagginess which are clearly visible and to some point distracting (at least to me) this seem like pure academic issue, since it can be visible only in total darkness and even then it is not visible unless screen is completely black.
What would be practical purpose in looking at black screen in darkness?

I agree. This is an academic issue, but aren't you a bit disturbed by the fact that there has been soo much talk about this oled screen and its pure black, and it was all a lie?
I think the problem might be in the image to screen processing where it gets converted to the pentile matrix(and over saturated).

Hi
I just got a galaxy 10.1 2014 and although it is very sharp it does not seem as dense as the ipad... is it me? Or pixel density on ipad is higher?

Click to expand...

Looking at the specs the Note 10.1 2014 should have higher density
Note: 299ppi
iPad Air: 264 ppi
The N10.1-14 has a PenTile RGBW display which means the PPI count is 299 but there are fewer RGB pixels to accommodate the addition of the white pixel. The white pixel reduces the number of RGB pixels by 8% each. Even with that, the N10.1-14 has more RGB pixels per inch (274) than the iPad Air's 264 so from a sharpness perspective the N10.1-14's superior.
From WiKi....
PenTile RGBW technology, used in LCD, adds an extra subpixel to the traditional red, green and blue subpixels that is a clear area without color filtering material and with the only purpose of letting backlight come through,[11] hence W for white. This makes it possible to produce a brighter image compared to an RGB-matrix while using the same amount of power, or produce an equally bright image while using less power.
The PenTile RGBW layout uses each red, green, blue and white subpixel to present high-resolution luminance information to the human eyes' red-sensing and green-sensing cone cells, while using the combined effect of all the color subpixels to present lower-resolution chroma (color) information to all three cone cell types. Combined, this optimizes the match of display technology to the biological mechanisms of human vision. The layout uses one third fewer subpixels for the same resolution as the RGB stripe (RGB-RGB) layout, in spite of having four color primaries instead of the conventional three, using subpixel rendering combined with metamer rendering. Metamer rendering optimizes the energy distribution between the white subpixel and the combined red, green, and blue subpixels: W <> RGB, to improve image sharpness.
The display driver chip has an RGB to RGBW color vector space converter and gamut mapping algorithm, followed by metamer and subpixel rendering algorithms. In order to maintain saturated color quality, to avoid simultaneous contrast error between saturated colors and peak white brightness, while simultaneously reducing backlight power requirements, the display backlight brightness is under control of the PenTile driver engine. When the image is mostly desaturated colors, those near white or grey, the backlight brightness is significantly reduced, often to less than 50% peak, while the LCD levels are increased to compensate. When the image has very bright saturated colors, the backlight brightness is maintained at higher levels. The PenTile RGBW also has an optional high brightness mode that doubles the brightness of the desaturated color image areas, such as black&white text, for improved outdoor view-ability.Some folks have noticed some funkiness between certain colors at full saturation due to conflicts between the sub-pixels when all are called to be active under certain display conditions. Yellows and greens on a white background have been pointed out. So depending on what's displayed those with keen eyes could detect some differences between the iPad Air's true RGB stripe display and the N10.1-14's RGBW display.
However, for the same resolution and size the PenTile screen can appear grainy, pixelated, speckled, with blurred text on some saturated colors and backgrounds when compared to RGB stripe color. This effect is understood to be caused by the restriction of the number of subpixels that may participate in the image reconstruction when the color is fully saturated. In the RGBW case, this is caused as the W subpixel will not be available in order to maintain the saturated color. For all other cases, text and especially full color images are fully reconstructed.

That possibly explains... It is more pronounced at high brightness on black text on white, where iPad seems very dense but on the note seems to have a little grid... More than pixel at ion is the sort of presence of dots on the solid white...

What you are probably seeing is the digitizer grid. This is what makes the pen so accurate and pressure sensitive.

Text, especially black against white, shouldn't be affected by the RGBW display. Examples people gave of the screen being non-traditional was green on white (EG: Play Store).

Why do people have to be so damned nitpicky? It seems there is a subset of people on this site hell-bent on picking things apart to find things to bash. It's ridiculous. If you think the iPad is better, GET ONE and stop picking apart everything else and comparing to one.

+1 on this. I haven't seen the iPad display so I don't even have a basis of comparison. I'm perfectly happy in my ignorant bliss.
The reasons why I purchased a Tab S 8.4 were its awesome screen quality and high grade processor. For the later, the poor touchwiz optimization and the average gpu led to disappointing results. But well, the screen IS awesome !
Or is it ?
At first, I was truly impressed. But after some web browsing and reading e-books, something felt wrong with the colors homogeneity. On white backgrounds, the right part of the screen in portrait mode would tend towards a yellowish tone, while the left part would tend toward purple tones. Nothing obvious, but quite annoying when noticed.
After trying around with different backgrounds, it become more obvious with certain colors. The one used in settings background for example: The left side of the screen is deep blue, the right part is much lighter.. and greener.
Further investigating the issue, I figured it is most obvious when watched in the darkness and using dark colors: RBG such as R:0, G:10 , B: 20 or even R:20, G:10, B:0
Did anyone else notice similar issues ? Would you guys mind trying to create a R:0, G:10, B:20 (#000A14) background and check the result on your tab S in a low light environment ? On mine, it results in an obvious gradation from dark blue to green.
Attaching some pictures. The rendering is not the best especially in the darkness, but the issue remains clearly visible.
There is something very wrong with your screen. Return it.

I second that, that is not normal
I concur with the others, get it replaced.
AMOLED screens can fail for any number of reasons (pixel death is the main one) , if yours is showing problems get it replaced now rather than live with it and have a more serious problem later.
We've seen this yellow color issue reported by a few others. Looks like Samsung let a few diseased horses out of the barn. I concur with the others. Return it.
Thanks for your feedback, guys.
I'd like to highlight the fact this issue goes completely unnoticed in most scenarios. A friend I showed it on white background didn't notice it at all, in movies/games/pictures I don't see it at all. I only felt it while reading, and even then it was not obvious, just a persistant feeling that led me to further testing.
Only the extremely dark colors seem to be affected, and even then it's only noticeable in the darkness. I will go back to the store tomorow and exchange it for a new one, but I'm wondering if the issue isn't widespread and simply went under the radar as its effect is hardly noticeable in 99.9% of the situations.
Did anyone else check at an homogenous R:0, G:10, B:20 image in the darkness with their tab ?
I personnally used Moon+ Reader's background color settings for testing purpose, pretty easy to set up.
New Tab S, same issue
I changed my Tab S 8.4 today for a brand new one. Same test, same issue: the background is still not homogeneous. The issue is visible in the darkness on dark colors such as the one used for the settings menu, which seems naturally gradated from deep to lighter blue on my screen.
Could someone else test and reproduce the issue on their tab ?
I have tried to reproduce what you're seeing on my 10.5 and honestly I can't. I'm not going to say the white is always 100% pure white but it's close enough. At the same time I'm trying to avoid looking for something that's not there for my Tab.

Maybe you can go into Settings / Accessibility / Vision / Color Adjustments and see if your calibration is off. There is a test there where you arrange tiles by color gradation and it adjusts your screen. I am having none of the issues you mentioned, but my 10.5 Tab also passed that test with no color adjustments required. Give it a try.

Test completed successfully. The calibration is fine, and the issue is not noticeable during the test. The issue is actually not noticeable in most usages, I only see it on homogenous very dark color backgrounds (the 10% darkest colors), and while in a dark environment myself. In most common usages, the screen looks fantastic and flawless.
Unfortunately, I often use my toys in my bed in the darkness. AND I am concerned about a possible defect that would get worse over time.
That said, tests on similar colored backgrounds on other AMOLED screens (PS Vita, Galaxy SII) lead me to think this could be a global issue with AMOLED.

Dear Friend. Like you I am very sensible in that point. I have a lot behind me and I can tell you, that homogeneity is something we can not expect from all types of modern displays, except the pro ones with a special function that takes care about this issue. Any screen has such issues, the question is just what type of and the intensity differs. The lower the light in our environment the more sensible our eyes get. The longer we stare into the screen the better we see all color details. Worst case scenario is a totally darkened room. Your eyes won´t get more sensible than in such a situation. Especially AMOLED displays will show the strangest kind of irregularities you would never see normally. I remember the Tab 7.7 -- in a dark room the screen was over and over covered with black circles. Wow ! The Vita shows strange textures instead. It is horrible.
My advice to you would be to start trying to avoid using your tablet or any display in a dark room. Turn a light on, it will be nice for your brain and eyes and you will not see the described things. It´s just a matter of habit, nothing else. You will get used to it and probably feel very well with it. Anyway there will still be the green haze.... Not to talk about the yellowish etc. stuff.
I returned the Tab S for a MiPad and it´s much better, really nice homogeneity (compared to other actual devices).
I had 4-5 iPad Mini Retina and all of them have horrible yellowish/blueish tint.
I had 4 iPad Airs, 3 were horrible in a similar way, now the 4th one is okay, I finally had luck.
I had 2 Galaxy 12.2 - the first one yellowish in a quarter, the second has just a slight, short yellow stripe on the bottom border.
I had a Kindle Fire HD + HDX - both with bad, ugly green spots at borders and corners. Also partially yellowish.
Once I held a Galaxy Tab 3 in my hands that was actually flawless. I was shocked. It never happened again. Was from a classmate.
Today I guess it was a mistake since I could not test in in a home-at-night-environment.
I checked dozens of Tablets in big stores here - guess what I found ???
Look at the iMacs .... Horrible yellowish tint. Horrible. It´s a shame.
I use my Tab S 10.5 in a dark room with some regularity. I've never experienced any of these odd artifacts you guys are discussing. My black screen is just black. Colors look right. White is white. I think its a fallacy to claim that all amoled screens face these issues. The amoled screen on the Tab S is the best most advanced amoled screen ever created. Problems from older devices shouldn't apply here.
Please remember based upon other user input, Samsung did seem to have a run of defective screens on these tabs they put out.
Here's a quick video test taken in a pretty dark room (it's daytime here). As you can see the screen is just black. There is absolutely no reason to avoid viewing your Tab S in a dark room. If you are not seeing the solid black I have demonstrated in this video I suggest exchanging your possibly defective unit.

In my experience 100% of AMOLED displays exhibit this behaviour, i.e. both Tab S 8.4 I've had! The first one (exchanged because of unhappy whites) had it so obviously that it looked like a diagonal gradient fade to one corner. The second tablet shows it as a slightly patchy screen, see attached photo which looks worse than the reality.
This is only visible in a completely dark room with the display set to its darkest (or close to), displaying a very dark image (my photo is of the spec. you mentioned - hence blue/green colour). To show this I needed to use an exposure of about 1 second, if you use less the image will appear black, likewise (probably) if you try to capture it as a video using normal ISO values in camera, the camera won't pick up the background.

All I can say is that is seriously messed up. My screen looks nothing like that and just as pitch black as in my video. Considering black pixels in amoled screens are basically turned off, they should be utterly and completely black and devoid of light. Am I misunderstanding and your picture is of a blue background?
All other dark colors should be solid without strange light effects as well.

It's daytime for me at the moment but yes from memory, if you display an actual black image then it will appear as black, you see this effect when trying to display an image that is almost black, at very low levels of light output the (my!) panel isn't even.
The attached image is R0 G10 B20 and on my PC looks black - it isn't I just used "ColorPic" to check the screen colour and it shows those values.
It's not a big issue but does appear when using in fully dark room with brightness turned down, I notice it in some apps that have very dark background colours (which you'd assume were black and see as such in daylight, but aren't).
Obviously under these circumstances an LCD would appear as a (relatively) bright grey !

Still beats LCD light bleed
So I just bought a cheap used tab S 10.5, and though it is in otherwise perfect condition it seems that it was some sort of display model at some point, because against a blue or white background there is some visible burn in of some text that is obviously from a samsung promo video.
Thing is, the "burned in" part is actually brighter than the rest of the screen, not darker, and the video that i believe was playing on this screen for a long time has black text over a white background. Here's a pic of what seems to be the same video that was running on mine: i.imgur.com/drGA93d.png
So the conclusion i've come to is that the whole screen is worn in except for where that text was shown. Is it a good solution to just leave the screen on with a fully white screen and high brightness to try to wear down those bright pixels to the same level as the rest of the screen? would it be better to maybe do that with only that specific section of the screen lit up instead?
Here is an link to the Same image that burned you tablet, you might be invert it so the black becomes white and you can avarge the burn across your whole tablet screen.
Also i inverted the image for you, make sure the image lines up perfectly with the burn-in on you screen then stop the screen from turning off, and run the brightness at max or whatever you are same with, I accept no responsibility for any damage that happens.

John.
I don't think that's going to work. The display is amoled not LCD. The dark parts will simply be in an off state, so will have no effect.
Only the active pixels in the middle are going to be on, which may further increase the burn in effect.
^thats the main idea, if you read the post again, it was a black text over a white background. I.verting the color and burning in the white text over a black background may help lessen the degration between the burned in parts

Although this may not be exactly what you're looking for it may help in fine tuning your screen colors to lessen the burn-in effect. It is a new SAMOLED color control but needs root which is possible without tripping KNOX (keep waranty). The devs are looking for beta testers.

Hello .. I need some info about burn in on super amoled disiplay
I have read about burn in problem on super amoled some site explain this cause Blue color has weakened than Red and Green
My question is
1. What if im use ' blue light filter '* everyday can avoid burn in problem?
(In logic blue light filter reduce blue color to produce on the screen
2. Im setting on ' screen mode' to 'adaptive disiplay'
And calibrate color to
100% Red Default
100% Green default
90% Blue
What if im use the setting can avoid burn-in problem?
Thanks

I think burn in because blue is weaker than red and green

Speaking more technically, the issue is that blue LEDs have significantly lower luminous efficiency than red or green pixels. This means that for a set sized pixel, a blue LED needs to be driven at a higher current in order to achieve the same brightness as red or green. Higher current causes the pixel to degrade faster, shortening its lifespan and therefore eventually tinting the display towards the red and green colors. Therefore an OLED display’s color doesn’t degrade evenly, it will eventually lean towards a red/green tint.
So, if one part of the panel spends a lot of time displaying a blue or white image, the blue pixels in this area will degrade faster than in other areas. That’s essentially what burn-in is.

Not sure lowering the blue will improve much, you will have a strange colour from day 1 that way rather than when they eventually degrade
Just don't leave white/blue on the screen for extended times
Ive never messed with blue and never been careful about what I am doing, apart from not leaving the screen on the same image for ages, and never had burn in with S5, S7 and now S9
Dont use it on charger (playing games) when screen is getting hot then burnin begins to form.
