but the colors could have been accurate
Very good display but poorly calibrated. Has a blue tint like 1st gen amoled. Have to say I am used to it by now and enjoy the screen.

The contrast is a little too high, and details in the shadows are lost. When watching a movie with lots of night scenes, such as Daredevil, I can barely see what is happening. I'm pretty sure it increases contrast when a video is played. I've noticed that when I play a youtube video then rotate the screen the video suddenly gets darker.
If you're a stickler for accurate calibration then apparently it's not great in this regard. But IMO the screen looks very good and I even got unsolicited compliments on its clarity and colours (what most people like i guess) from users of iPhone 6 and Galaxy Note 4.
Anandtech has science-y exact measurements in their review. I agree with what other people are saying. The whites are a bit bluish, but I'm not bothered by it. The Nougat/EMUI 5.0 update adds a Night Mode/blue light filter that I didn't like at first, but does seem to be easier on my eyes at night.
The contrast is good.. I dont have anything to complain for the contrast.. the colors and the black I like on this one
One of the best IPS on the market. I don't complain a weak smoked. Yes, the black on that kind of screen is real black and bla bla bla, but guys, IPS screens are way better and resistant, and the adaptive brightness on this smartphone is excellent.
Can't complain much here. Kinda 50/50
Excellent display, no issues though
crisp n sharp display with good colours
Very black blacks. :laugh:

will never be as good as oled but surprisingly does a pretty good job
Well it gets the job done could be better
Compared to my G3 its miles better. and compared to that over saturated piece of garbage i would say job well done LG.
May not compete with the S7 OLED in terms of black levels but I'm pretty certain the colours are more natural and realistic.
The colors are more natural and the contrast (black levels) is just too damn good compared to my G3. Well done LG!

Do you find the G5's screen cooler?
I tried a side by side comparison with my G3 at full brightness, the G3 screen has a red tint to the white, while the G5 has a turquoise tint... I wonder which one is actually closer to real colours

Honestly, to my eyes, the screen is on the neutral side. Not cool, not warm. Pretty good imo.

All I can really say is the black is pretty good for a non amoled screen, if you want to compare it a amoled screen, may be in a few years time, at present nothing comes close to amoled.

Thanks! I guess colour accuracy is very subjective when it is not on paper
I found the white a bit more white at full brightness, but a bit bluish at lower brightness, if only we could correct it! haha, Lg has this strange tendency to make cooler displays since the G4 (the V10 has it too) They go around 7800-8000k instead of the ideal 6700k
If i let a brigth image for ~10 minutes the pixels stuck in this image for ~30 minutes and for that time i can see in grey that image.
Guys, do you have screen bleed on black with your G5s?

I also notice that my screen is a bit yellowish in low brightness..
The OnePlus 3 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.

The display is definitely better than what weve had on the previous OnePlus phones. I did find the color saturation a bit weird coming from the LCD of the OnePlus One to the OAMOLED of the OP3, but it's a pretty beautiful display to look at.
I haven't been able to compare with another AMOLED screen, but compared to my LG G3 at full brightness, the OnePlus 3 screen colours doesn't seem as vibrant as an AMOLED screen should be. One other thing is that I've been so used to QHD on the G3, I can really notice the drop back to HD. Nonetheless, the OnePlus 3 is bang for buck no matter which way you look at it.
I just have one word. Gorgeous.
The display is sharp enough, bright enough and the color saturation is good. And definetly better than previous OP screens

You notice because it has PenTile arrangement, not because it's FHD.
I've gotten used to it now, the screen is still quite amazing on the OP3. Tbh, I've always found it funny how phone manufacturers are sucked into the res race given some of the drawbacks of pushing a larger amount of pixels.
I'm moving from my Moto X (2014) to OP3, and trust me the white balance is WAY off towards the blue end. I read a review which did display tests on both the AMOLEDs of X and OP3, and apart from the white balance, OP3 has a slightly better screen and/or screen calibration than the X (which is 2 years old).
Overall I still find it blue after I switch from the X, but it's a beautiful screen nonetheless.

Just got mine, haven't even turned it on yet, but AFAIK (from reviews) white balance is adjustable in the settings. Play around with the slider if it looks too blueish to you.

Yep, thanks! Did that but forgot to mention. Though be careful when you change the slider, there's no reset option in case you want it as it came (not a biggie but a reset option would've been helpful).

Text on my phone looks blurry and more like a 720p screen, particularly visible in landscape.
I've applied for a replacement. Let me see how that turns out to be.

That's going to be the downfall of pentile. (The pixel arrangement of the screen) I don't think you have a bad display.

That's a bummer. Didn't know it'd turn out this bad.
I really hope I had a defective piece though. Text looks really bad on it. It ruins the experience of using a premium phone.
Guess I'm really bothered by it because my previous phones were the 6P and Note 4 and I use a retina MacBook Pro; all three had/have excellent displays).
I was very worried about the display when I have heard many saying that it is not sharp due to the pentile arrangement.
Just got mine few hours ago, and here is my personal opinion:
The display looked sharp and crisp, the pentile matrix is hardly visible unless you look at the screen very closely, but under normal usage distance, the display is excellent.
It is true that true resolution on any pentile display is less than the ideal, and this artcile explains it: https://medium.com/@suyashsrijan/1080p-pentile-is-not-true-1080p-9951b9e5c2ee#.w8v3hh7vz
According to it, the effective resolution becomes 326ppi rather than 401ppi.
FYI, resolution of iphone 6s is also 326ppi.
To me the screen of OP3 is way better than the OP2. Everything just looks nice. My OP2 was calibrated with kcal and OP3 has similar calibration. Only the dark grey is a little on the blue/green side.
Disappointed with pixelation caused by the PenTile matrix. Sure, the display is great (much more vibrant and brighter than my outgoing iPhone 6 Plus) but with my perfect near vision small text and edges of icons etc all appear slightly jagged. From a normal distance it's not too bothersome but I can always see it. The 1080p RGB matrix panel on the iPhone appears instantly sharper in comparison but I still wouldn't say its a match as the colour, contrast and brightness are all far better on the OP3.
Resolution is too low for VR, but for everyday tasks is perfect.
I am hesitating to buy a 1+3 device mainly for the mixed comments about screen/display quality.
Can any owner of 1+3 post some pictures of any classical webpage (bbc, cnn, xda, ...) magnified gradually, up to the maximum (125%, 150%, ..., 300%, ..)?
Thanks
Ive been using the G3, and i dont care what anyone says, there is a huge difference between 1080 and 1440. The text looks smudged. However I cant stream Youtube nor Anime at 720p or higher anywas so it wont matter for me.
Still on the fence of buying it.

If you don't like it's most visible part, then why consider buying it?

The screen looks higher res. than it actually is - awesome display panel.
Yes. I can't say I notice the difference between the very crisp Nexus 6P display and this Pixel's display. That's a very good thing considering that the 6P is a 1440p display.

The screen is sharp, and saturated. Touching the screen feels like holding a chick's hand.
I have to agree with the others. I was reluctantly hoping the screen would be good but it is absolutely gorgeous to the point where I would NOT want a higher resolution (for battery/performance reasons). If you're majorly into VR then you might disagree with me but I don't think anybody is going to have a question with the screen quality without the magnification VR systems use.
Note: the colors are a little oversaturated with a cool tint but you can very easily enable sRGB mode and it fixes that VERY well. I go back and forth between the two settings. I enjoy the oversaturated colors for typical use but I switch to sRGB when I'm doing web development so I can see the truer colors.
I cannot tell the difference between this and the LG V20 (quad HD) side-by-side (in terms of clarity - the LCD vs. AMOLED is incredibly apparent). Love the screen so far!
wait seriously? the v20 looks like 500x better than this screen. this one is terrible compared to the v20.

it has an amoled display o.o so real blacks.
The blacks are as good as any AMOLED display, that is, pitch black. It is virtually indistinguishable from the top and bottom bezels of my gunmetal OP3T
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
Just to expand slightly, an AMOLED display means that each pixel only produces light while it's activated. There is no full-screen backlight like you'd see on a typical LCD screen, so if a pixel is not given a signal to illuminate a specific color, it just remains off, so you get the best blacks you can find. So the contrast ratio is basically 1:infinite. This is, in my opinion, the best screen technology for a cell phone. The reason it's not more prevalent on TVs and monitors is because of (a) the cost, but more importantly (b) burn in. Static images will cause permanent (or semi-permanent) shadow images. You can easily see this if you find a retail store with a display model OLED TV. Cell phones displays are, for most people, more often off than on, and the image is frequently changing while they are on, so it's not really a concern there. Hope this helps!
Look sick when you have dark theme on apps and substratum

Maybe I think it need to have smoother transition on dark videos, like degradation on dark areas.

This.
I was actually noticing this very much recently whilst watching Supernatural. If you know the series you know much of it takes place in the dark so the DEEP blacks can look brilliant on this device but often times it can also be too much. Degradation would definitely help. I played around with the Video Enhancer option using Netflix and MX Video Player Pro but didn't notice any major differences in picture brightness where the blacks are concerned.
But I prefer the trade-off of having the deepest blacks to that grey-heavy LCD stuff any day.

On my old S7 Edge the screen was beautifull, I am not saying that the one on S8 is not.... the only con on this screen is that. yes I know supernatural and does videos have to much dark.
Well at least I am not the only one.
when I set the screen to AMOLED Cinema it improves a bit.
I love watching movies on this phone. The screen is absolutely beautiful.
I have yet to watch a movie or netflix yet...but now Im going to have to! I know colors and blacks in photos really pop...soo...off to the movies!
