Do you think the icons look dull, or not sharp? Look at the third party apps especially like, Score Mobile, Seesmic, Yahoo mail etc, I can surely say on my S2 they looked sharper than this or maybe because it has a smaller screen?
What do you think?
It's got lower ppi screen so not as sharp as other screens. My One X is noticeably sharper in everything.

Thanks. Could you kindly post a full size screenshot of your screen? In an image hosting site.

With screenshots, it's little hard. With android the screenshots never come out sharp at all. Atleast not with what i've seen.
You may want to take it to the store, or have somebody check it out.
I'm requesting any kind heated person to please please upload a screenshot of his/her phone. In an image hosting website like imageshack, not in Tapa. You know it's a grand festival going on here and the shops are closed, so can't check anything physically. Please guys, it's a request.

Lower ppi doesnt matter since the Note 2 has a non-pentile display, hence its images are MUCH sharper than One X and S3
Screenshot given.
That's not a screenshot buddy, a zoomed in photo taken by a camera used in GSMArena and some other reviews. And S3 has the same resolution screen as Note 2 and it's much smaller, so things will definitely look punchier.
Anyway, still waiting for a screenshot.

I'v got the same issue but most of icons are not sharp, youtube, Google Play, but some like messages are sharp. Also images when browsing the web are not sharp. The screen looks ugly for me, colors are oversaturated also in standard mode. Screen in my Note 1 is bright and sharp, i hate my note 2 screen. I'm going to seller and will ask for replace unit.
Shoud be the task bar (the small one on the top of the screen with hour) be gray? In Note 1 and SII was black so i'm asking... Or is it JB feature?
The status bar is not Black for sure. Kinda blackish grey. And the stock icons are sharp here, no problem. And yes the images in the browser looks pretty bad actually. But all other things, like texts and all are pretty sharp.

You can do it with friend caster photo editor.And I agree brother,it looks horrible.
FROM A GALAXY BETTER THAN YOURS.
That's what we like to call over-cooked HDR. You can pretty much do the same thing by adding one of those old school filters or a yellow tint filter and pushing up the contrast and saturation. It's pretty much used as a distraction for bad composition
Does anyone know its this is an Android or iPhone app for this framing effect?
Sorry didn't want to start a new thread.

It's as if the colors and the screen pops more up while ours looks great but not as popped up and more in depth and concave sort of way. As if there is a grainy screen that's all like gauss covering the screen. Why did they opt for a cheaper crappier screen on the GNex?

Yes, the SGS3's screen is also pentile, note the lack of plus at the end of Super AMOLED HD.
Different colour profile, different Q/A requirements (Have you noticed that there is very little black in touchwizz UX, maybe to avoid the low brightness blacks become purple issue).
Tweaks made to the panels and manufacturing process after doing them in blunk for the gnexus?
All of the above?
Your guess is as good as mine

You do realize this link is irrelevant to the topic at hand, right?
Anyway, I have had my phone next to my friends S3 and with the color tweaks on the GNEX I did not notice any difference. Stock GNEX screen, sure it looks horrible. My GNEX looks 10x better then any stock GNEX screen as well.
I would say quality control. Samsung took the time to perfect the S3's colors. I love my screen and it's vibrant and all that. Granted I've never compared the two.

Try it. Screen of GNex looks way better than SGS3!
SGS screens are poorly calibrated. Over saturated, over sharpened, etc.
Some people apparently like that.

Agreed.
Believe it or not there is a point where too much saturation is bad. It starts to look entirely unnatural. I'm happy where the saturation levels are at with my Nexus currently, still more vibrant than any LCD screen, but not to the point where everything looks like someone took the saturation dial and cranked it to max.

So i just bought a used galaxy nexus and have been using for a little while and i keep noticing that it looks the stock arrangement of apps on the home screen are liked burned into the screen. Like i can see them everywhere i can go and more depending on what color the screen is at. Its not software because i booted into CWM and i could seem them. Is this a defect? Or just the nature of the phone? I have tried to take some pictures but they didn't turn out to great......
Here is a link to the high quality version of the picture https://www.box.com/s/bv84z7gu0dsltgzorevi
Normal good sir.
Pretty much any used Galaxy Nexus will have some burn-in, as the display is AMOLED. Happens with all of our Galaxy Nexuses, I guess we kind of just accept it though. lol
The way the Nav Bar sits, we all will probably have it burned in sooner or later, many already have it...
Just as well, look at a black background with the display on and you'll see blotches on the screen, also normal. There's actually a sticky here about what's normal and what's not.

Hi all, just purchased a note 2, and i am havibg difficulty with the screen, i find it blurry and hard to look at, compared to the note 1 which is crystal clear to me, so it cant be my eyes, soon as i switch back to the note 2 uts just blurry again.
Pictures are fine, but the menus are a tad blurred, and writing is terrible.

Sounds like your Note has a fault, screen is definitely crisp and beautiful to look at as well as read from.

so I was reading a test done comparing iPhone 5 with the note 2. according to the findings, once you such display mode to movie and unchecked auto adjust picture tone to save battery- the contrast ratio, whiteness level and all color errors are all improved drastically. I must concur because I have notice a much better colours rep and the whites do look a bit better aswell.

EDIT now that i think about it the pictures should all look the same on the PC since it is that phone that is changing the color and nothing changes on the picture right? so even though i took screen shots of each one at each screen mode, will that color variation be visible on the screen shot or only if im veiwing it on the phone.

They all look the same. Main reason why i prefer movie to natural is the skin color. It looked much more natural. Also the contrast ratio increases on the movie mode.

Swear I was thinking the same thing lol.
I wouldnt have bought a Amoled screen if i wanted accurate colors. But good find to those that want.
The positive is that Samsung Note 2 actually allows you to choose which color representation you prefer.
Also, I don't think the color resolution is stored in the captured screen shot image. It's just how the image is displayed on your Note2. That's why each photo you uploaded looks the same. of course I'm usually wrong on these type of things.
I prefer to use Natural. But I wish we had some control over the screen temperature. I prefer my screen a little cooler than what it's currently displaying.
I was stating id like to see the demo image outside of my phone. See what the original colors looks like, pale vs bright yellows. That would help me decide what looks most "natural"

You have one of the most advanced screens ever put in a phone. Its so visually pleasing others may stair with envy, some will comment on its beauty while trying to touch it, a rare few might even complain its just to brilliant (giggle). For your convenience we have added the option to dull it down to a level of your choice so you might better blend in with the rest of the crowd holding dull looking screens.

Also brightness was set to max.
With brightness set to max, I found "Movie" to give the best picture. However, I never have brightness set to max - usually automatic. I found "Movie" a bit dull at lower levels, but I'm used to it now, and there will be less screen burn-in, and blue burn-out. We have three-year contracts in Canada, and I don't want to have noticeable OLED burn-in and loss of blue after a couple of years ...
Definitely takes some getting used to for Movie but while not as perky colored, I quite enjoy this subdued tone. In the end, having choices is great.
