Nitro hd screen worser than spectrum

Lg spectrum and nitro hd are both 720p phones with the same screen technology but in these tests the lg nitro hd came out the worst. I wonder why?
http://blog.laptopmag.com/smartphone-screen-shoot-out-which-has-the-best-high-def-display

check your nitro by tilting it personally !
it is much better than in pics !
basically the spectrum, p930 and the other 4 variants use the true hd display !
so there should be no difference at all !

yea, i would also say that my screen looks much better than the one in those pictures even with my screen protector on.
anybody else have a camera and these 4 phones to re-test this? lol

my take on the review:
1. the categories were the nitro didn't compare to the spectrum were not scientific, they were *eyeballed* and opinions & favorites were decided.
2. I've comared my nitro sidebyside with the nexus and side viewing angles appeared better to me on the nitro, not the nexus. many other reviews conclude the same.
3. color accuracy. i think the reason the nitro performed poorly in this category s due to how it handles wallpapers, I know with my nitro, with stock gb, wallpapers i downloaded and used did not render well. in fact, i chose not to use them due to this.
this could explain why the nitro scored last while the spectrum scored 1st, also, subjective testing here as well.
4. sharpness. I have no idea why their nitro did not dominate this category because I am continually impressed by the sharpness of text on my nitro screen.
5. outdoor visibility. yep, neither the spectrum nor the nitro can compete with the over-saturated colors of the nexus in full daylight.
so while i can sort out why the nitro scored as it did, I am surprised the nexus won. although it's easy to fall for the saturation levels and blacks so perhaps that is why.
but for reading and the primary things i do on my device, how the nitro handles the color white is outstanding and makes a more meaningful impact to my viewing experience.

"text on the Nitro HD appeared far more grainy than it did on any of the other displays."
Wow, ANYONE that has a clue about how to focus a camera can see that the image they *tried* to take of the Nitro up-close was out-of-focus!! And yet they blamed it on the Nitro?
Yeah, I pretty much lost any respect for that comparison test when I saw that.
I'm PLENTY happy with my Nitro screen

How about video quality? in my opinion the nitro should have the best hd video and picture quality. can anyone compare that to galaxy nexus because ive seen a video on youtube where the true hd ips screen killed the samoled hd in picture quality.Thx for help

i've seen no other display as clear and vibrant like the one in the nitro !
the only reason the phone is still with me is its display
my friend owns a galaxy s3 and a galaxy nexus and believe me, nitro hd has a much much better display than the other two !
the only thing super amoleds are better was power saving and a tad higher brightness. but the nitro has a super crisp display !

I own both the Nitro HD and the GS3. While I love the sharpness of the nitro screen, its not "much much better" than the gs3. If I didn't have so many reliability issues with my nitro, I might've stuck with it.

so you are saying that the nitro has better screen than s3 ?

There is a very subjective element to the amoled vs lcd discussion. I think amoled looks a little brighter, but it's over saturated. Some people prefer it. LCD also does better outdoors.

What I'm saying is that the nitro screen is sharper. That is the only advantage the nitro has over
the gs3 at this time. I do prefer being able to see the screen in broad daylight.

The future of phones

Considering the current obsession with increasing screen sizes, this hits the nail on the head. The GS3 is already flirting with being too large. Anything bigger is really overkill. I have a tablet for my big screen needs.

Oh, I like GS3's size as well. However, I'm not interested in anything larger. I really hope that the rumor of the Galaxy S4 having a 5 inch display is not true. That would be crossing over into the Note/Note 2 territory, and there's a reason why I didn't get the Note. Of course, this is still pure speculation, and I really don't think that Samsung will release the next Galaxy S phone less than a year after its predecessor.

Size is personal choise. I only have an S3 as a get-by until the Note II is available (sold my Note while it was still worth something). I can't wait for the bigger screen. I understand not everyone wants it too.
I tried playing Asphalt 7 on the GS3 and it was just WAY too small, I could never play a fast paced game on this screen. That said I still love my S3 :good:

Screen sizes are perfect right now. 5 Inch might be a bit over-kill. I love the SGS3's screen size. I think they should work on colors and contrast ratio's, as well as low brightness mode.

Yes! Less size for the galaxies and focus on display quality, build quality and battery life.

[Q] Color Control for Note 2?

Hi,
I would like to know if it will be possible to implement Color Control (as used in many Galaxy Nexus custom kernels) in custom kernel for Galaxy Note 2?
Here's a link (it worked wonders on my old Galaxy Nexus!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521195
My Note 2 has a heavy green/yellowish tinted screen. The problem is much more pronounced than on my old Galaxy S3, which actually was quite bad, too...
Otherwise I have to return my Galaxy Note 2

This is a comparison between my calibrated LCD and my Note 2:

I would LOVE to see something like this ported to the GN2!

I got my replacement today. Still the same problem (at leaster better build quality). I've compared mine to other Galaxy Note 2, every single device I have seen had the same issue. So I guess there are many GN2 with that issue out there.

This is a screen shot from my note 2. Is there something I'm not seeing? What's the problem?

Mine doesn't actually appear to have any tint to it, but one of my hobbies if photography so I'm picky about colours

Do you have power saving mode on? There is a screen setting in the power save menu that tints the browser. Also try to use the "dynamic" screen setting instead of natural or the others. That fixed my tint.

One thing you are not seeing is that a screenshot can never represent a displays color reproduction. As you are eliminating the actual display and only looking at the image as it was rendered in the software. All screenshots from all devices will appear the same, however photos of the actual rendered image on screen will show variations. Using a calibrated display as a reference is the only way to have a solid comparison, just like the OP did. If you want to contribute, do the same.

One X display puzzle

I was comparing the displays of One X vs Note 2 the other day and was very surprised too see that the display of Note 2 was much sharper! The same image was evidently blurrier and hazily on the One X's screen in comparison to that on the Note 2.
I'm not talking about vibrancy, colour reproduction, true black, true white but simply sharpness.*
I wonder if there is some sort of image processing mechanism built in the default image viewer of Samsung?
Given the size (4.7 vs 5.5), same resolution, higher PPI, true RGB, the SLCD 2 screen of the One X should have been equal or better than Sammy's?
The reason why I got the One X for my girlfriend was because she never likes the over saturated colour of SAMOLED (ie. Sammy S3) and much prefers the natural tone of LCD but looks like when it comes to sharpness there really is no contest.*
I have been a user of Samsung Galaxy line since the S1 and now I have the Note 2 but I absolutely love the screen on the One X, just find it a bit puzzling that the former is sharper while technically it shouldn't be!
This is in no way a troll or a wish to start a flame war or anything like that.

is not logical what ur saying..the big DIFFERENCE BETWEN SUPER AMOLED(Pentile) and HTC LCD2 is that the HTC ONE X is more sharper so is better
look at the difference between pixels

Dude, the note 2 ain't using a pentile screen, nor an RGB stripe. Its weird.
Sent from my faster than SGS3 HOX.

still LCD can reproduce images better and sharper..the thing with LED is that they are more " stable " and the colors are very " alive "..and thats a thing that I hate.

The note 2 is using the IPS OLED display. I find the note 2 screen overall less sharp than the One X. However, there may be cases where the note 2 may appear as if it was sharper, especially when looking at dark/black images. That's due to the more punchy color of the note 2. When looking at texts and in general I find the One X has sharper and overall better display.

Clarity/resolution

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 has a crazy crisp display. Just kidding, this is automated text so who knows if this screen is any good. So, you be the judge! A higher rating indicates that it's extremely sharp and clear, and that you cannot see pixels with your naked eye.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

For some reason, Tab S3 has a somewhat blurry screen compared to any Retina iPad. It doesn't affect the usage by any means, it's just that I don't understand it, since iPads and Tab S3 have the same screen resolution.

Samsung used the PenTile pixel configuration on the S2 and S3 it gives a lower pixel density, But cheaper to product compared to rgb stripe in the S1 10.5"
The PenTile display in the S3 supposedly lasts longer and uses less power than the rgb version.

Actually the S2 has a modified pentile display, they have turned off some of the subpixels so that it look very close to the S1 rgb panel, but the turned off subpixels leave quite a large dark space between the pixels as can be seen in the magnified photo`s

It's display calibration. Set it to adaptive mode. Also remove the poor quality screen guard. Or get an anti glare one. Use your head it's got gorilla GLASS 4. IPAD doesn't. And really OLED screens are more true to life but yeah Apple screens are better than even LG IPS

It's RGB not pentile. And a HDR at that. We all know LG OLED defeats Samsung's quantum dot.
Anyways check Colors under calibration. You have option to set RGB colour each one.
So it's the same display as S8, Note 8
