that is a very technical yet interesting read.
This has been discussed to the death in the Galaxy S days.
Galaxy S and Nexus S has the same tech in it.
I think they looked fine.
If you have to calculate the pixel density like this, what does the Nexus S has with it's 4" 800x480 display? 150ppi?
Looks interesting will have to see one for real now hopefully soon

The PentTile AMOLED displays look great with pictures, video, etc, especially with the excellent black levels. However, for text it's not so good. I have a Galaxy S and the PenTile display looks really bad at times. Text looks tinted, and red text on black or just red on dark backgrounds in general? It looks like it's hovering above the display, horrible...
Sure, the GN has a smaller screen than the Galaxy Note and therefore a higher DPI, but I'm not so sure it's enough to hide the weaknesses of a PenTile display.
Hopefully someone will get their hands on one for a proper test of the display.
Hey look! Another AMOLED display and another site found out about PenTile RGBG vs. RGB or "Real Stripe"!
Hardly something new, that's been around since the first Nexus One and they don't break with tradition. Nexus One, Nexus S and now the Galaxy Nexus, all have a PenTile matrix.
Yes, PenTile RGBG matrix offers less sub pixels and still PPI and resolution are based on "pixels". That might not be ideal and there will always be PenTile haters counting sub pixels one by one. But unless Samsung can produce 300+ PPI AMOLED displays with their "real stripe" method it's either PenTile or LCD.

Hmm, so it still fares better than the galaxy s2.
Check this out guys. Note can be same as Galaxy Nexus.

This is so overblown. It isn't exactly something new. Pentile Matrix has been around for a couple years. Most of the people don't notice **** about it.
Phones with pentile matrix tech:
Nexus One
Nexus S

HTC Legend
Dell Venue Pro
Nokia N8

the nokia phones do not have the pentile matrix displays, nokia orders samsung oled screens with true RGB subpixel layout. however nokia struck that deal, likely paying more per screen (?), is a mystery because even samsung themselves who make the screens use pentile thru the years...while nokia got the true RGB OLED screens.
this includes nokia n8, n85, do not have pentile.

Thanks I didn't know that.
I thought all AMOLED use pentile except SAMOLED+.
I just searched the wiki for phones with AMOLED screen.

Then give us a ****ing LCD. I'm tired of this bull **** Pentile matrix crap on my N1.
You'd rather have an LCD than a SAMOLED?
Forgive me, but lawwwwwwwl.

+1. I like the screen on my nexus one more than my slcd sensation. But again its IMHO.

That second article is a more realistic view of how pentile performs in real life.
Most importantly, take a look at everyone's initial impressions of the screen, and check out the clear amazement in almost all of those articles, it seems that these new nay-sayers are very much based on prior conceptions, rather than real world performance.

The clarity difference is astounding. I like my Bolt and all, but put the thing next to any Samsung and it's night and day.

The icons and text look okay in the running video. Not sure what the distance is.
More interesting were the benchmarks in the video. What were they, and how do they compare with the same benchmarks on some of the flagship devices from the last three months?
Also there seems to be a little bit of rendering/painting delay at 3:55-4:00 when the user tries to pinch an enlarged section of a web page, though that might be expected behavior. Was surprised to see that since the reported Sunspider and V8 benchmarks for the Galaxy Nexus handily beat the SGS2.
Pentile is a load of bull...

When you using fullscreen apps it is.
So where can get some wallpapers for the Nexus.
Do you mean live wallpapers?

Thanks for, not many good ones there though.
Anyone know where can good wallpapers for our Nexus, the default ones are poor.
Could anyone tell me the wallpaper size for the Galaxy Nexus? And maybe post up some good ones/links to good sites for HD wallpapers?
Cheers
I'm looking for a plain black one in case anyone can point me to one already made. I heard a black wall paper helps conserve battery power.
I'm just trying some wallpapers at the moment, and it's as annoying as trying to find one that fits well for a honeycomb tablet :/
And yeh with SAMOLED screens, darker uses less battery.

It seems like the existing wall papers have a size of 960 x 853 pixels.
I created this plain black wallpaper.

I don't know why the stock Wallpapers were released at that Res as they have to be upscaled to fit. Wallpapers for Native Res will be 1440x1280 if you want nice crisp HD.

Crop to 1440x1280 for your phone.

If I want a basic plain all-black wall paper, what format should I save it as? I know jpg works, but is there maybe a format that uses up less resources?

Plain black png will be considerably smaller I'd imagine.
I made a couple of fractal based wallpapers at 1440 x 1280, both using a black background. The second one is fairly dark, for those who want to conserve their battery without going completely black.

I don't think thats correct. It's a 720 screen so the native resolution would be 1280x720 (widescreen)

The resolution on one screen would be 720x1280. Across five screens it's 1440x1280.
The same as the old standard being 480x800 vs 960x800.
Hey guys, what's the correct dimensions for a wallpaper to fit on the Galaxy Nexus.
I know the screen is 720x1200 but I tried that resolution and the wallpaper won't fit the whole screen, thanks.

It would've used more battery if we had the + screen actually. See right now we have less sub pixels, its not a full rgb set of pixels but if it was....with this resolution you'd be lucky to get probably 1 hr of screen on time. They went with just regular samoled to save battery. Only reason gs2 has better battery is because its pushing only 800x480 pixels while our nexus is doing 1280x720.

It's simple - a HD Super AMOLED+ screen did not exist for mass production at the time the Galaxy Nexus was designed and released. They wanted to go with a HD screen on the phone, so they had to go Super AMOLED. The Galaxy S2 does not have a HD screen. I wouldn't be surprised if we see the first HD Super AMOLED+ screen on the Galaxy S3.

They have HD SAMOLED+, Gtab 7.7, even bigger display, definitely could've made SAMOLED+ for our phones, but definitely could not fit a battery big enough to power it in our phones lol.

And it was released months after the Galaxy Nexus. At the time they designed and went to manufacture the Galaxy Nexus, HD Super AMOLED+ screens were not ready. This might have something to the contoured display of the Nexus. But for whatever specific reason, the HD Super AMOLED+ screens were not ready for the Galaxy Nexus.
The PenTile screens are easier on the battery though, so perhaps that's one reason why they weren't rushing to get the HD Super AMOLED+ screens ready in time for the Galaxy Nexus.

Because samsungs manufacturing process is not yet able to produce amoled screens with full RGB at such a high pixel density. So we get pentile for now. Full RGB amoled+ is coming in due time.

Like i said above, its about pixel density. The 7.7 tab has full pixels because at 7 inches the pixel density is very low. They cannot yet reliably manufacturer high pixel density with RGB pixels for a cost effective price. Its coming soon...

Thanks for clearing up what I wasn't able to fully convey. Pixel density makes perfect sense.
I'd take 720P pentile over full RGB WVGA any day.
ill rather have my 720P screen over my GS2 800X480 (or whatever it is) screen res any day.. Rather its + Or Samoled or Super amoled or w/e .. its still has one of the best screens on the market.. Whoever states different needs their eyes checked out
I just moved from Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to Nexus 7 2013. I see a major difference in colors.
The colors or N7 are dark'ish and not very bright as compared to my Galaxy Tab. Did I get a faulty device or its just normal?
the contrast in the screen is different, just that.
the contrast used in nexus 7 is similar to the ipad. samsung looks more brighthen but it's just an effect of the screen.
Samsung always uses very exaggerated color and contrast settings so that noobs who see the devices are impressed and buy them.
The same as makers of stereo equipment who make the bass very strong and loudness level very high so that people with no clue about music think that the device has “great sound“.
Don't fall for that lower class BS.

I may be a noob but I like my colors bright/vibrant. I can't get used to the dull/darkened colors of Nexus 7 (2013) model.
I am looking for a way to make my N7 screen appear like Magic Bright mode found in Samsung Monitors or G'Tab.

Samsung monitors are actually very good (Not over saturated). On the Nexus 4, there's an app called Nexus 4 Display Control, but there isn't anything (to my knowledge) for the Nexus 7.
I also have a Sony Tablet Z (which has very good color reproduction), and when I see both tablets side by side there is of course some difference (mostly that whites are yellower on the Tablet Z), but in NO WAY can the color reproduction of the Nexus 7 be called bad, weak, inaccurate or something like that!
