I thought I might start a discussion. I have a One X on pre order and will give my Gnex to my wife.
After reading Paul O'briens review of the One X I must say that the screen sounds amazing. Is LCD the future? Is Amoled no longer the best?
Was it ever the best? Some people prefer OLED screens some prefer LCD.

No, Amoled is still the future. However, right now LCD currently is the best, since LCD has best battery life and non-pentile with ultra-high resolution. Why I say Amoled is the future it is because amoled has not require back-light which means you saw dark is completely dark, high colour saturation, 100% viewing angle and thinner. However, it has poor battery life when display white images(almost 3x higher power consumption than IPS-LCD display), too high contrast, too high colour saturation but already solved by now and high cost. That is why everyone right now prefer IPS/S.LCD 2 over HD S.Amoled. If Samsung solve this problem should be 1 year or 2. Then, LCD will be dead.

HTC announced that the SLCD2 that they are using has been modified by HTC.
To give fantastic contrast levels & to improve the contrast levels.

Ya, may be up to 1500 contrast, but not quite as Super amoled which is 50,000.

lol, just realised i said contrast twice.
i meant modified to improve viewing angles and contrast levels.
samoled have unnatural colors. They are too intense
From the copious amount of videos I've seen the viewing angle is great (same as any other LCD like my desire z) and the blacks look very black, nearly the same as the black bezel around it.
It all comes down to personal preferences. I think after a few hours most people are happy with what they see, I'm still happy with my standard SLCD

I was never convinced of LCD but the SLCD2 is a great one and surely better than AMOLED.
Who needs SGS3?

Gotta love this...
The screen is, frankly, insane. Compared to my Galaxy Nexus it was embarrassing ( I had a GN and loved the screen so if he says this, I am reassured )
This means a beats headset in box and beats enhanced audio right across the device. ( This might of answered the speculation as to whether it includes beats in the box)

You still won't get pure blacks on the One X like on the Nexus, however, the screen would be crystal clear and the colors would be natural.
I prefer Smoled.
imho, the colors are not natural on amoled's.
And who needs a green colored withe? I tested some amoled devices and this was the case..
The blacks are good enough on LCD. What I need is my whites to be white and colors to look natural. amoled screens give me a headache. They just aren't there yet. Also the LCD screens seem brighter which helps on sunny days. If you like the current set of AMOLED screens better, that's fine but I'm tired of hearing that it's better when I look at it and my eyes say NO.
i don't know if anybody noticed but color gradation is horrible on the SGSII screen, you can see the color steps very clearly in 2D games for example
Most Highres OLED Screen have Pentile screens (e.g. Galaxy Nexus). They can look pretty awful depending one the picture displayed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PenTile_matrix_family
Yes, pentile displays are awful..

Bikrame is ABSOLUTELY right bro, also take it from me, I used to be a DIE HARD HTC fan, however, after countless years and devices later I just got sick and tired of waiting for them (HTC) to get their **** together. One can only take so much disappointment before they lose all hope and walk away. I've owned only the latest and greatest of HTC phones on the market, and it was only a matter of inevitable time before the random reboots, crashes and frozen screens come into play, you just get fed up of having to constantly take out the battery to fix your phone... SAMSUNG definitely gets the everyday needs of real world use. Love my SGS3 !!!
Just take a quick look at the link below if you're still not convinced bro... In the end, the choice is totally yours to make... We here at XDA just try to help and inform each other the way family would. Best if luck though bud.

Super AMOLED HD
You’ve probably heard lots of press regarding this display as it’s been the frontman for Galaxy S phones for quite some time now. One of the best features about these display panels is that their black levels are*unparalleled–that is to say that when displaying black, the screen is practically off. This results in much richer detail in images (it’s black level, not white level that increases this quality). Combined with very high brightness and great viewing angles, the result is excellent contrast ratio which makes Super AMOLED displays perform valiantly in the outdoors. You may also hear people describe Super AMOLED colors being “vibrant” and/or “punchy,” which is also due to this great contrast ratio.There are some drawbacks however to this display tech. Due to the nature of how the colors are delivered, Super AMOLED tend to be blue/greenish in color repdouction, which can be unwanted for those preferring neutral color balance. In addition, although the display consumes little power when displaying black, web browsing–which predominantly uses a white background–saps battery life disproportionately quickly. Finally, the display of the Galaxy S III uses a PenTile grid, which decreases*the*actual number of subpixels used on the display (and thus the pixel density)–this is noticeable at high*magnifications, but for most users will go unnoticed.
Super LCD 2
Super LCD 2 is a great all around screen as well. Although it doesn’t have killer black levels or astounding brightness, it has great white balance and accurate color reproduction as well as a true RGB subpixel layout which renders the finest bit of detail. In Chris Ziegler’s review of the One X, he notes that the Super LCD 2 display “[has]*got a near-perfect 180 degree viewing angle and perhaps the most accurate color reproduction and color temperature available…” and furthermore, “At 720p, it falls well into ‘retina’ territory where the individual pixels become invisible to the naked eye.”ConclusionIf the Galaxy S III’s display was a Super AMOLED HD Plus with an RGB stripe display, this debate would simply be a matter of whether you prefer color accuracy or vibrancy of the display, with which the argument could be made that while important for computers, color accuracy is not [as] important on a phone and thus the Super AMOLED’s colors are more*aesthetically*favorable. However taking the PenTile arrangement into account, the rest of the factors can seem to be a moot point to many buyers, especially when they see images like this:
The truth is, unless you have microscopic vision or are purposely looking for image artifacts, there is no way you are going to notice a difference on the screen.
After all of that, it boils down to a matter of personal preference

I actually do notice the difference though. Samoled hd has deeper blacks and whiter whites than the slCD2. So in the contrast category, Samsung wins imo. Although color reproduction, the slcd 2 had more natural tones.

I checked out the Note2 again last week this time only for about 15 min when I stopped by Best Buy & immediately felt like this is such a real huge upgrade from my EVO 4G that I must have it soon. Then I started noticing the whites weren't as white as my EVO & it could be brighter (set to max) & even experienced some lag but I did not have time to do a reboot.
I'm somewhat curious to see the Droid DNA, 1080p natural color screen with amazing cameras like the OneX & improved speaker etc but obviously annoyed with battery & sdcard situtation (not a huge fan of all the red styling either but would slap a case on it) so I'll check it out. I think the OneX variants are the best "smartphone" display & camera & at 5" DDNA should be impressive (always thought 5" is a great size but the N2 managed its 5.55" amazingly as well & the stylus puts it in its own class).
The following links seem rather disappointing for the Note2:

http://www.technobuffalo.com/compan...t-8-core-processor-13mp-camera-1080p-display/
So do the non-white whites & brightness of the screen especially around sunlight on the N2 ever bother anyone in real life use?
- Thnx
Funny, if you research the specs of the Galaxy S3 from a year ago, these are the same specs they said about it back then that they are saying about tbe S4 now.

I remember S3 rumors of a 13 MP camera & 1080p screen (but not @ 4.99") & quad core not 8 cores...
So can I assume the non-white whites & N2 brightness especially around sunlight on the N2 doesn't bother you in real life use?
The S4 & Note3 will likely have 1080p screens & hopefully whiter whites & greater brightness so the Note2 will not likely last as long as I'd like as a primary handset anyway..
I love the screen, the whites don't bother me a bit. I also, however, do not walk around with another screen next to mine. The grass may be greener, but my grass flack out rocks!

I did do that the last time at Best Buy & while it did lower the color saturation it did not obviously make the whites any whiter or the screen brighter. I found myself going back to the default standard color mode but I do appreciate having options..
Even compared to my 2 yr old EVO, the whites are not as white & screen seems less bright overall.
I still think the Note 2 is the best overall handset ATM but the display could be brighter with whiter whites & higher res which will likely all be there on the Note 3..:good:

Good to hear, the whites& brightness on this notebook i'm using ATM are not great either & mainly notice the difference when comparing or using another but my next one should be noticeably better..

While I mentioned that I appreciate the Note 2 screen mode options, in tests I seemed to revert to the standard default color mode as changing screen mode only affected color saturation without obviously improving the whites or brightness or sharpness which all seem better on the HTC One X. The default standard color mode seemed to make the screen less dull than Movie mode so I'm curious how many people actually primarily stick with other modes like Movie etc?
Has anyone have a solution for this on HTC One X. The overall display is over saturated. The outcomes of photos are normal if you check it on a computer, but for hox display it is over saturated.
I guess there should be a hack to lower the saturation for overall system. I mean for all apps not just for photos.
I always thought the screen had more natural colours..... AMOLED screens are the screens that are wayyyyyyyyy oversaturated.
Compared to the Nexus 4 screen you'll notice that indeed there is slight over saturation on the HOX but much less compared to AMOLED displays.

Natural is easier on the eyes but looks dull to me. Vivid pops but looks unreal sometimes. These are just my opinion but which do you prefer?

Vivid and slightly cooler for me.
Vivid with all settings in the middle and then I use blue light filter to dial in how warm I want the white point shifted.
Wow thanks. I like this setting. Shifted vivid to 1/4 towards warm and turned on blue light filter.

I got the Note 10 Plus 5G and also the vivid mode is not so vibrant... there is anything to make it better? E.g. the Mate 30 Pro display is a lot more punchy

you can adjust the vivid mode to look much cooler from the slider under , and you can go a bit further with advanced
