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!

Something odd iv noticed , when i turn up the brightness.. it does not feel like the brightness is being turned up it feels like extreme contrast the colors get deeper and the whites are just painfull to see(too bright).. sure the colors look great but it seems wrong while playing games as if im lacking gamma.
Iv tried changing screen mode it doesnt help too much, everything seems too dark in games (compared too xpeira z ultra and ipad mini retina)with glaring white contrast and unnaturally deep colors. (iv used amoled on the s4 so its not the saturation thats bothering me)

This sounds very weird, mine has much better brightness than the ipad. Sounds faulty to me, my one all the colours just get brighter as you would expect.

im experenceing the same, if i turn up the brightness it starts look look washed out. it is as you said, its like its playing with the contrast. its more noticable when playing a video that has dark scenes in it, blacks start to look dark grey
more users on a thread in the general section have noticed this, as some have pointed its an issue with the gamma not being calibrated properly and samsung using a non traditional method of back lighting as per anandtechs review.

I read that the screen has a white pixel next to the rgb pixels. Could it be be the white pixel is used for brightness and now results in a black screen looking grey? Haven't noticed it being a problem as I set it on auto.

yes that could be it, i only notice it in a dark environment, however its not an ideal way to do brightness. Auto does not work for me at all its always too dim.
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.

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:

1080p really is more than enough for a 5.2 inch phone, higher resolution drains the battery faster too anyway. Only if you are into VR you can do with a higher res screen, all other applications i really don't see the benefit.
Never had an issue with the display. Isn't the most colour accurate panel I've seen, but still have a lovely appearance in my eyes
very good display on the phone
Excellent display
Display is really nice. Coming from a Note 4, I find the display to be descent. Only thing I would change is the brightness could be about 10-15% brighter. Other than that I knew it would be great for 1080p.
I like that it's really crisp and sharp.
I also like it better than the my old LG G2 & G3 screens and I thought both were awesome when they came out
The first time I powered this on, my eyes perked with delight.
display/screen is decent enough. when you see it you feel the real clarity. its good but still not comparable to AMOLED

Doesn't have the viewing angle of an S8 and the screen brightness isn't as bright but it wins hands down in all other screen areas.
Had a Note 4 before this phone. That had the best phone screen before the S8/Note 8 that's out now.
Had this phone for a month now and don't miss AMOLED

Anyone noticed any black crush? This for me was the single most disappointing thing about the s9+
Please try the tests and let me know... thanks!

Amoled's black crush is pretty much unavoidable in low brightness, I can notice it on mine but only when under 30% brightness and on a very dark screen, the only possible fix for this would be to have MicroLED.

Thanks for your response. This was mostly mitigated last year on the s9 using Screen Balance. I had hoped that Samsung would have included a fix for this now. It’s impossible to test this in the shop under the bright lights so I was curious... I didn’t think every single OLED suffered this but perhaps I was wrong. Thanks again for confirming.
