With an overall score of 90, the Google Pixel 6 Pro is a device whose screen is suitable for essentially all uses. Colors are faithful, touch feels very smooth, and brightness is appropriate in most environments. Its only weakness is in video, where its default brightness is a bit low and playback takes a bit long to resume.

LG is showcasing a new display that claims to be the world's first full HD LCD smartphone panel - measuring five-inches and supporting up to 1080p video.
The display boasts a pixel density of 440 PPI with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
According to LG, the display technology is a variant of IPS - or Advanced High Performance In-Plane Switching or AH-IPS.
This provides wide viewing angles for the display, faster response time, along with improved efficiency and brightness.
Interestingly enough, LG claims the naked eye is unable to distinguish between individual pixels on the new screen, which promises faster response time and smooth image transitions. The company also says the display is ideal for use in outdoor settings thanks to its improved brightness.
The display is set to be available in the second half 2012, which means smartphones equipped with the new hardware could appear just a few months later.
the icing on the cake is that is right about when i get to upgrade..
derp, i started this in the wrong sub-forum huh!
Rate this thread to express how well you can see the Honor 8's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
interested to learn more about display's quality.owners please comment
Screen brightness is great even in Auto mode, visibility is great
Definitely, anyone with this phone, would you be willing to share your comments about the visibility of the phone under harsh tattoine like sunlight?
The Honor 8’s 5.2-inch FHD display with a 96% high color gamut (NTSC), color enhancement, and dynamic pixel-level contrast adjustment provides a better viewer experience, with vivid and crisp images making the screen easier to see during the day. The Eye-Care Mode makes looking at your phone at night more comfortable and safe by filtering part of the blue light to reduce eye strain. (NS)
Honor 8 display is just amazing, better than my old Samsung J5 and on par with many flagships.
Keep in mind that LTPS screens have advantage to other LCDs , due to the manufacturing process.
That means lower consumption and better sunlight visibility. I had phones with LTPS panels and they were all awesome!
Honestly I expected a little bit more. Don't get me wrong I can see the content however I feel that the brightness could be a bit more and the numbers (450-490 nit) says so. But overall it is better than most of its competition's
So much better than what i was used to, i could almost never see anything on my old phone (Acer Liquid E700) in the sunlight. Now i can read the screen just fine no matter what weather it is. Only thing that bothers me a little bit is that the auto brightness is a little to aggressive in dark environments, the screen gets to dark to my liking.
visible in bright sunlight and it isnt a problem to use phone
No issues, excellent outdoor visibility
Outdoor visibility is good only when full brightness is turn on.. but still had some phones evan then it was not visible..
Despite not being the brightest on the spec sheet, it beats the S6 in the sun. (which was 600 nit or somewhere along those lines)
Simply, it is very good.
It could be better, I compared it with O+3 which has better visibility on sun.
The specs and the real world performance put the readability in sunlight squarely in the "average" category. It will work in a pinch, but it's not the best available. It's also not the worst, so just keep your expectations reserved for average and you wont be disappointed.

Many phones are worse..
At least that was my experiance ..
I had many phones..
My last nexus 6 motorola was so bad that 100% brightness did not help to see in the sun at all
And the Honor 8 is the lets say second best phone in the sun I had
Better I only had the Samusung A5 2016..
So I would say.. yes there are better phones.. but Honor 8 is good enough to see in the sun..
BUT, to see you MUST have 100% brightness and that one discharges battery realy realy fast

I do not use auto brightness
Couse I have noticed when I set
Lets say 50% auto brightness its a bit dimmed
Couse if I set manually 50% it is bit brighter
Did not tried it outside and with 100% auto or manual
Couse I have it always manual
Will test a bit more then give you final opinion for my case
Will test it too though
I used it while high noon and no problems with visibility.
not the best or AMOLeD quality but still does very well. better than many out there. in normal condition brightness is sufficient, you may feel little uncomfortable in direct sunlight but we use it very less in such situations..so performs well and no complaint
Not sure how many people are aware of this, but smartphones that can do this - the screen looks absolutely jaw-dropping and stunning. The beautiful, vibrant, and HDR like effect , is very pleasing. It's night and day difference to even DCI - P3, let alone the sh1itty sRGB you're getting on Natural mode, on this device. Those yellow washed out colors...
This is what made me fall in love with my OnePlus 9 Pro. The screen looks absolutely incredible when wide color gamut mode is selected, in display settings.
Of course - with the Pixel 6 Pro, there's no such setting visible. In fact, there's not even white point settings. This has me completely bewildered and a bit annoyed, as to why they would implement something so limited.
On past iterations of Android there was an app called 'Oreo Colorizer', that could force wide color gamut everywhere. But it doesn't seem to be working on the 6 Pro.
Does anyone know of ANY way to force W.CG on the 6P? This is so crucial, I'll offer a bounty.
Custom kernels offer KCal support which are a boon for users who love a certain look on their OLED displays, albeit requiring Qualcomm drivers.
The Pixel 6 Pro display covers 73.8% of the DCI-P3 color gamut in the natural setting and if you prefer more saturation you can use Boosted Color
Letting our lab tests weigh in on the matter, in our colorimeter results, the Pixel 6 Pro covers 74% of the DCI-P3 color gamut in its Natural color setting. The iPhone 13 Pro comes out ahead at 82.5%. While that tips in favor of the iPhone, if you like a more colorful look, the Pixel 6 Pro can turn things up with its Boosted color setting that likely pushes it to roughly double the Natural setting.
Brightness is less contentious; the iPhone 13 Pro delivered 1,024 nits of brightness, making it the brightest mobile display that we’ve ever tested. The Pixel 6 Pro hits an impressive 842 nits, but it’s not enough to keep up with the iPhone 13 Pro. Both will be perfectly visible in even bright sunlight, but Apple wins.

Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro Display Review: Questionable value OLED tech
The Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are the latest flagships known for their cameras. But how well does their display perform? Check it out!
www.xda-developers.com
As a personal note: Jea, the auto brightness system is definitely broken right now. Hopefully XDA is wrong and Google can fix it by software.
I ended up getting three pixel 6's and a 6 pro, because i'm picky about screens.
- The screen lottery is still real.
- All three pixel 6's have different Mura Effect. None of them have no Mura Effect. Many people don't notice this until it's pointed out to them, but with normal vision it's obvious on dark colors with a dim screen in a dark room (i.e. everyone's phone in bed every night).
- The 6's have a grayer graypoint than the 6 pro. The 6 pro's graypoint is slightly green.
- The regular 0%-100% brightness is relatively similar between the 6's and the 6 pro.
- The high brightness mode on all pixel 6's is brighter than the pro.
I'm torn between having a bright display (pixel 6) and a uniform display (pixel 6 pro). I think I'll opt for the uniform display, and for yet another year suffer for the notoriously dim pixel displays.
But for all the **** the pixel 6 display gets for not being "modern", it's literally a better display IMO except for the uniformity problems.
- it's flat, seriously **** curved edges for a plethora of reasons
- it's smaller, far from small but not quite unweildy
- brighter
- more neutral whites and grays
PIXEL DISPLAY PROTIP:
The default display mode, Adaptive, crushes blacks on the dimmest brightness levels. Switch to Boosted, which has the exact same saturation, but doesn't crush blacks! This makes it so that details in the darker parts of media is not crushed to black when you're watching stuff in bed. Use this this image to check it out. Edit the image to blacken out the white square, and then open it in a gallery app (some browsers change how colors appear, e.g. dark mode in the samsung browser darkens images, so don't do any real image-based tests in browsers), and then switch between Adaptive and Boosted. You're welcome .

thanks for the tip
also dxomark puts the pro more colour accurate than the 6
that and the off angle green/pink hues the none pro get are pretty well known now
If you're rooted and flash a kernel you can enable HBM (high brightness mode) and then the screen is even brighter than an S21 Ultra or any other device.

Glad to help.
I prefer more neutral whites and grays to a 2% increase in "color accuracy". Display variance is so massive among all phones in the world, and color accuracy is already so good on high end phones, that color accuracy is a meme. What everyone does notice, however, is whether white and grays seem tinted yellow/orange/green etc.

I already do that and it doesn't help that much. In direct sunlight with HBM enabled, the 6 Pro is definitely significantly dimmer than the 6's, which are both dimmer than my S21 Ultra, which is dimmer still than my 13 Pro Max.
It's classic google phone dimness. I'm shocked the 6 broke that mold...I just wish it was the 6 pro instead.
