[HTC One X] electric0ant:
from my experience i think most reviews have got it right, the One X has the best screen I have seen. Amoleds have amazing blacks, but they seem to suffer from so many issues.

iphone 4 IPS retina screen was amazing back when it was launch, good colours and viewing angles and high dpi made everything super sharp.

I used a galaxy nexus and nokia 800 and the pentile display did bug me a bit. not a complete deal breaker but from time to time i did notice the straight lines not being sharp due to the fact of it being a pentile display.

issues i have seen on two of my S2 screens is you get sections of the screen where the colours are not even. both S2 had a bottom left corner where the colour was lighter and more evident when viewing an solid grey. the first S2 has really obvious and also had a rectangle in the middle of the screen which had this behavior, so i exchanged it for the second S2 which wasn't as bad so i couldn't be bothered to exchange again. Also saw this on a galaxy note screen was i about to buy.

another thing i noticed with both S2 screens was when the screen is on, but all black and when you are in the dark you can see the screen is not uniformly dark. there are patches where its darker. first noticed this when playing a game at night and there was a few seconds when the screen was all black from loading. i thoguth it was just the game at first but loaded up a black picture and had the same issue. S2 screens are also quite oversaturated. although i got used to this, but when watching videos on them it looks like people all have sunburns.

AMOLED is still pretty new technology when compared with LCD, and while they are perfectly good, they don't don't quite match up to high end LCD displays.

[HTC One X] Eggcake:
AMOLED is in theory better than LCD. It provides better contrast, better viewing angles and perfect black. But the thing is, that most diplays in mobile devices aren't calibrated properly or are simply cheap. If you look at professional OLED displays, you can clearly see that it is possible to have perfect colors with AMOLED.

If you ever have an AMOLED screen with good color reproduction, it will be better than LCD in my opinion. But I have a feeling that won't happen in the near future - Samsung likes its oversaturated displays.
[HTC One X] jedi5diah:
amoled is definitely brighter but unnecessarily better but more towards preferences. they are both gorgeous imo.

i've used SGS amoled for 2 yrs and just switched to one x.

at first i'm not used to the warmer colours but after a week all is well, loving it!

cheers!
[HTC One X] r3dcruz:
I have the Note and the 1X and I was worried about the 1X screen. I had an HTC DHD and the screen on that was pretty average. Moved to an SGS2 and loved the screen. The Note is fantastic but the 1X screen is something special, I think you feel you could fall into it, it's crystal clear, they really are different but both so good that you could reasonably buy them on the other specs that appeal, IMHO.
[HTC One X] sacredabyss:
Agreed, my friend's got a GS 2 and her screen looks green all the time. Initially I thought that's a faulty product, but then after having a look at the sample phones at multiple telephone branches I found that it is the problem of the screen.
[HTC One X] MartijnMM:
IMHO Amoled lost for now, they move too slowly.

They need an Amoled+ 720p display in a small form.
[HTC One X] robt772000:
Can someone confirm that the Hox screen is made by Sony? I thought it was a Samsung panel.
[HTC One X] Staceymobiler:
hi all

If you want a video and some side by side photos compaing the GN to the HOX, check out the post i did on my blog a few days ago

[HTC One X] NewForce:
AMOLED is way better than in lots of facts LCD are not just theory, they are real. Thinner, much better contrast, viewing angle, 0.01 ms vs 2ms response time, power saving, less burnt marking and so on & on. The reason AMOLED is not on par with pro OLED screen was, pricing, size, power consumption, cellphone compartment limit.

Btw, AMOLED was more expensive screen than any backlighted IPS-LCD, S-LCD2 and whatever you name them. You might called it over saturated screen, but more than 25 millions people just loved Samsung Super AMOLED Galaxy Series cellphones.

OLED TV vs old technologies Plasma, LCD & CRT TV who's the best?

Guess you already know the answer, if you understand techonology.
[HTC One X] Eggcake:
That IS theory. We are talking about cellphone displays here.

AMOLED displays on cellphones are crap, that's a fact. Again, which display is better: the one from the One X or the one in the GN? I don't care how many people bought those displays, that was never an argument for something to actually be "good" - and they didn't buy the display, the bought the whole device. Again, I don't care how much OLED is better in practice when you look at TVs or professional monitors: the AMOLED displays we see in cellphones suck in color reproduction and that's probably the most important thing on a display and many agree with me. It may be true that it's better in many other ways, but the calibration of the displays just sucks and has been sucking for over 2 years since the release of the Nexus One/Desire.

But go on, take the One S screen over the One X screen if you want, because it's so much better and tell the guys with Desires, Galaxy S & S2 phones about the displays not burning in. That's theorytalk.
[HTC One X] josephnero:
I would like to know that
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Not even much of a comparison (argument)

Galaxy Nexus has a Super Amoled HD screen with the same resolution as the HTC ONE X,

SLCD2 truly kicks its ass.

Its not even a close comparison. :D

---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

I believe the HTC ONE X screen was manufactured by LG.

I remember reading an article that showed the HOX screen to have an identical RGb matrix to that found in the LG Optimus x4 quad core device.
[HTC One X] slapshot30:
Let's compare the One X screen with the GSIII screen when it comes out, that's the real test. Stop comparing HTC's brand new flagship with old hardware from other companies. Let's see what Samsung has up their sleeve and then we can really compare...
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Completely disagree.

Isn't the Galaxy Nexus only 4-6 months old?

Isn't this the current Google flagship android device?

& wasn't this the device that had the highest resolution offering super Amoled too?

You can only compare with what's available....

When the SGS3 comes out, you could say the same with that phone.... comparing to a device that's been out a month or 2.

Technology moves on....
[HTC One X] revthanki:
It does, but I'd have to agree that Samsung has never given its latest and greatest to the Nexus line - both NS and GN have been given pentile panels. The SIII will be the true comparator for what AMOLED can really do at 720p resolutions.
[HTC One X] slapshot30:
Like revthanki said, when have the Nexus phones ever been given the best available? Hell, even the GSII was better spec'd than the Nexus and it came out months and months before. All I'm saying is let's compare flagship vs flagship. Samsung and HTC are arguably the two biggest brands, correct? HTC has just released their flagship, and Samsung should release theirs within the month, two months at the very latest. HTC has never been able to keep up with the screens from Samsung, I highly doubt that'll change now.
[HTC One X] duykhang524:
For the SGS2 if you think the whites are too blue there's an app called soft screen tuner that's gonna fix that. Just set the blue tint back a bit and done. After it's gonna blow any lcd screen out of the water with it's contrast and true blacks.
[HTC One X] nativestranger:
The black levels on a smart phone does not matter much unless you are in a dark room. In any kind of lighted environment the glass reflections tends to dominate and reduce the actual useable contrast to a much lower value.
[HTC One X] NewForce:
Haha.. your reply & argument points are so childish but does make it easy for me. Super AMOLED screen ROCK! millions of people worldwide agreed with me.

All HTC devices without AMOLED screen Eesucking big time for the pass many years the day of o2 CDs time. This is without a doubts. This is also millions of people agreed with me.

---------- Post added at 01:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

Nope, SLCD2 screen another pain in the ass And its old tech to me.

Yes, those htc screen is from lg or at least are from lg licensed oem.

It's sad but it's true, Htc does not possess it own technology/skills since the dinosaur O2 xda day. All they do was just buy parts from others and put them all together. Doing only that still they has flopped many times. The more nearest one, acquiring into Beat Audio was a mistake. Try using BA to go deep into States public and society just don't work. Htc just make Dr.Dre richer when he's down on his singing career, they only make him lauching even in his sleeping time. That's why htc CFO got his removal last week. Another joke out of many in htc history.
[HTC One X] iamadoctor:
I compared my Desire against my new One X and the X blows it out of the water (unsurprisingly), I used to really champion OLED screen tech but at the minute it's lagging behind. That's really disappointing to me because theoretically it's amazing but right now it's not blowing the competition away.

As far as millions on people agreeing with you, I doubt the majority of people are buying their phones purely on the strengths of the screen technology behind them, the screen themselves sure - but not whether or not the panel is SLCD or AMOLED.

Right now the One X has the best screen I've ever seen, the S3 might better it who knows, but given how many variants of AMOLED screens there are I think it's naive to say AMOLED > SLCD because of the sheer variance of each panel.

A properly calibrated AMOLED panel can be gorgeous, but right now we're not really seeing that. If the choice is a SLCD with decent black levels and great colour reproduction or a AMOLED with a pentile matrix and over saturated colours I'll go for the SLCD. When we see a properly calibrated Super AMOLED Plus HD display I'm sure it'll beat the current crop of SLCD panels. Again, it's dependant on the individual panel, not the underlying screen tech.
[HTC One X] townay:
Super amoleds only rock for you and the people who prefers face punching vibrant contrasting colors. Current smartphone amoleds will never be able to produce accurate colors. The amoleds are pushing the contrasting colors hard which makes colors on objects look unnatural, especially if you are watching movies. This tricks the eyes of average users eyes which in your case, millions of people, into believing those are the true colors.

SLCDs for smartphones tend to produce somewhat accurate colors at the cost of viewing angles. This varies from panel to panel, with ips being the best in terms of color accuracy and viewing angles.

If you are going to go all out and say "Super AMOLED screen ROCK! millions of people worldwide agreed with me." then I'm going to say "IPS screens ROCK! the other half millions of people worldwide agreed with me." If super amoled is so good, reviewers around the world wouldnt be complementing how good the screens on the One X/LG O2x are

If you like amoled screen, fine, but there is no need to go about saying its the best because I can go about saying the same for smartphones using IPS panels too. Ask any graphic designer/editor. Either they'll be using iMac or a IPS/VA panel related monitors for their work because of color accuracy

In the end, its totally subjective.
[HTC One X] Tinderbox (UK):
It`s hard to calibrate a oled screen when the green phosphors start to degrade within a few hundred hours, and they are normally boosted to counteract this to some extent, and don't forget burn-in , I have had four SG2 , give me SLCD2 any-day.

John.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
Most modern OLED screens now use only white phosphors with a colour filter overlay. This way you do not get any ageing effect for each colour.
[HTC One X] Tinderbox (UK):
Sounds good, so did the SG2 have that feature?

John.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
I honestly don't know. But I would hope/expect that the next version will.
[HTC One X] norazi:
AMOLED is a superior tech compared to LCD... it just has not matured yet so thats why we can make this comparison since LCD is very mature now and OLED is still just an infant... when LCD panels first came out, they were actually inferior to the old CRT tubes but quickly got better

our current tech is not good enough to make amazing AMOLED panels,which is why we have band aids like pentile to deal with low battery life... in a bout a year, AMOLED will be superior to LCD in every way

also, all the complaints about AMOLED being oversaturated... thats because the manufacturers over-calibrate the colors from the factory so they will have more "pop"... for better sales... you can manually calibrate the colors using most custom kernels. with proper calibration and equal resolution/layout, LCD does not touch AMOLED for image quality

like i said earlier, AMOLED tech is still maturing so you had those issues, current AMOLED panels have already resolved this. much like how plasma TVs had a huge issue with burn in when they first came out and now, a modern plasma will not have burn in issues under normal use
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
SLCD2 is just IPS technology. They can't use IPS in their brochures cos it's copyrighted >.>
[HTC One X] lukesky:
Plasma tvs still have burn ins, my company bought 1 brand new last week, mid range model and within a few days, there's a shadow of the channel logo burnt in on the top right side which you can still see if you change channels.

Maybe you're living in 2015 where these things are REALLY solved?
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
I came from a SGS2 and, compared to what was available a year ago, thought the screen was fantastic. I even got used to watching videos where all the people in them looked as though they were trapped in a spray tanning booth because of the exaggerated colors.

I've seen two One X displays; the better of the two (the one I'm keeping) is probably the clearest, brightest, and most color accurate display I've ever seen on a portable device. When I show it to people their blown away; even G-Note and SGS2 owners. I have an aversion (like many people) to PenTile so the GN display is a non-starter for me. I'm looking forward to seeing the HD Plus display on the SGS3 and comparing it. The blacks may be blacker but I can't see how it can be any "better" (except for battery life) than the display on the One X. And I surely don't miss the spray tanned characters in my videos. :)
[HTC One X] NewForce:
Nope I have absolutely no doubts, Super AMOLED are indeed better technology than SLCD anytime, anyday. Maybe LG AH-IPS or HTC so called SLCD2 come close, but still lag behind when come to energy saving, response time, thickness, angle of view and so on..

Omg I can't believed it, people are still debating/arguing about Pentile matrix after more than 2 years. Don't keep arguments going on and on just because of a bunch of IPS, SLCD screen biasing reviewers, journalists who has try their best wanted most of us to believed Pentile are inferior. They are just another tabloid reporters.

Remember, Pentile Matrix techonology complies with the accepted VESA, Video Electronics Standards Association standard for display resolution. Yes, RGB stripes are good old fashion conventional display technology, but doesn't mean it's an absolute necessary. Otherwise people at VESA must have gone sleeping when they approved Pentile Matrix display.

You guys really make me feel like very old school going over and over more debating points. We are talking a mobile screen. Common guys, what's the most essential design in mobile device screen? It's power consumption, thickness and response time. Color vibrancy just adding more topping on the already very good looking cake. All these performance cannot be achieve or provided with old technology of all types LCD screen.

Color accuracy? Common those mostly only applicable for color professional, tv monitor which need to. Most common mobile device users don't even need that. Think again, did anyone of us ever bother about ads colors accuracy, be it on tv or poster? The answer are obviously, NO. What most people see was, how attractive was an ads creation and how seductive was the color used that really catched our eyeballs. Color accuracy? Forget it !!

Lastly, Samsung Super AMOLED by default was set to "Standard" in display screen mode setting. This is to showcast to others that the screen colors can be very vibrant & attractive. It's unlike all other inferior LCD's screen which are NOT CAPABLE or simply cannot reproduce that kind of colors vibrancy. If one individual don't like Super AMOLED very saturated colors, or i've called it "Non-UV great saturate colors", he can always set to "Movie" in display screen mode.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
You're right, it's all in our heads...
[HTC One X] NewForce:
You're 100% right too, when you choosed to use your phone with your face sticked on the screen + a 20x magnifier. :D
[HTC One X] electric0ant:
I can notice the "fuzziness" on a pentile display, and it did bug me a bit. But then I did come from an iphone 4 when switching to the galaxy nexus, so I was used to having a super crispy display.

this will obviously vary for people, i guess won;t affect them as much if coming from a low res display, or eyesight etc.
[HTC One X] brent8577:
i'm paranoid about my new plasma 3dtv, but so far nothing has gone wrong. i've watched about 5 hours of movies with black bars at top/bottom and 90 minutes of a movie that had "3D by Panasonic" in the corner the whole time. i switch to something full screen after, and maybe you have to have something like that on the screen for day after day straight through, but i'm starting to worry less.
[HTC One X] townay:
Viewing angle on OneX/O2x is fantastic. Not sure if anyone ever reads or watches movies on their devices at such extreme angles. hmm....

Maybe you cant see the fuzziness around the texts on pentile devices but I can, even without pressing my nose against the screen lol.

Accepted != good

Thickness but only not by much. Power consumption isnt that big of a deal with most websites are displaying every other colors other than black. Response time will be in milliseconds. Are we going to be comparing milliseconds?

Seriously? color vibrancy? forget it!! It goes both ways. There are also millions of people who would prefer color accuracy over the ridiculous contrast. Dont say it like its a matter of fact thing. Its your opinion and your opinion does not reflect on the entire world, only those that who vibrancy over accuracy. Same like my opinion only reflects those who chose accuracy over vibracy. My opinion isnt going reflect on the entire world. But unlike you, I am not blinded by how people/companies promote ips/amoled. Both have their pros and cons. (At this point I believe super amoled fans are going to say amoleds have zero cons. Seriously)
[HTC One X] MartijnMM:
Maybe 3 may, but atm, the oneX screen blows away the Gnex/Gnote screen.

Cause the problems are still there today, Gnex and Gnote both have "grainy screens", lotsa banding problems in dark areas, and bad color profiles.

Display quality, and the OneX is far ahead of the Gnex and Gnote.
[HTC One X] Try4Ce:
Right now, SLCD2 still beats AMOLED/OLED in many ways. Correct display of colors, sharpness, viewing angle, amount of contrast. If I compare SLCD2 with my friend's GN or my old Galaxy S2, the SLCD2 wins in many aspects, except deep blacks.

But in the future, AMOLED's will dominate over LCD. They're still in development and need some time for "perfection", so to say. LCD had alot of issues in its first few years, too.

AMOLED is flexible, you can bend it in any way, battery consumption will even drop further over the next few years and lifetime will surely increase, as well as Long-Term Burn Ins will be resolved for sure. OLED/AMOLED can be used for more purposes and scenarios due to its flexibility.

For now, I am PERFECTLY happy with my SLCD2, for this generation, it blows other Displays right outa the water and it will surely take some time to beat it. Retina still is a little ahead in terms of brightness and true color display, tho, but SLCD2 is on the right track.

I am really looking forward to the new generation of AMOLED in the Galaxy S3, I think it could really impress and surprise some of us.
[HTC One X] townay:
+1

We'll have to wait until Galaxy S3 is showcased on May 3rd to see the new amoled.

Until then

, slcd2 it is.
[HTC One X] NewForce:
Nope, for me Galaxy S2, Nexus, Note Super AMOLED screen blown away the old technology One-x S"LCD"2 screen. I'm ok with that so-called grainy part as I don't stick my face on the screen.

To make thing worst One-X with more issues like,

1. Screen yellowish tint resulting bad color accuracy.

This one look the worst of One-X SLCD2. What? we still have to deal with heavy UV even I'm at indoor? Where's my sunglasses?

2. Screen with yellowish spots at mutiple area.

3. Screen flickering on different situations.

4. Short stangby & usage time. New update did improve that but still short.

There's more, but the 4 points & pictures was enough to do the judgement.
[HTC One X] aranab:
The yellow spot is something to do with the glue and the flickering is software if I recall correctly...
[HTC One X] townay:
Cant really argue with a guy with a tunnel vision and a mind that is dead locked onto the result only he likes but fails to see the flaws of the product that he likes...
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Congratulations! You've now officially become a troll. It's one thing to debate the pros and cons of different technologies, devices, and manufacturers but clearly you're hear to trash the One X. Your last post is less about display technology than it is about how great Samung is and how ****ty HTC and the One X are.

Here are pics of my display. They are faultless and I'd put it up against any Android phone on the market.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25024269&postcount=9

As for display quality and consistency, SAMOLED has issues between individual devices too. There's a 200+ page thread on the SGS2 forum talking about banding and yellow tint on more than just a few phones. I have a One X because I got tired of waiting for Samsung to roll out ICS in the UK. Even where it has been rolled out it's a cluster. I like Samsung and am wrting this on a G-Tab. But they are no more or less perfect than any other manufacturer and have just as many issues when they roll out new devices and software.

P.S. - I just noticed all the pics you posted have a Samsung URL - http://samsung.zol.com.cn. Do you work for them?
[HTC One X] Try4Ce:
Word. There have been hundrets of complaints about AMOLED Displays flying around. From blue to yellow to red to green screen tints, grainy gradients, blurry text elements and the famous yellow gradient tint on the left or right screen border. PLUS: Long-Term Burn In -> My SGS2 has already a burn in where the Taskbar sits, visible on Blue and dark purple backgrounds.

I compared my Galaxy S2 to the Galaxy S1 of a friend, and the 2 other Galaxy S2 devices my brothers have. No Display looked alike.

My SGS2 had a greenish blueish screen tint and the famous yellow tint on the left screen border.

My friends SGS1 had a pretty red screen tint and slightly washed out colors.

And the 2 SGS2 Devices my brothers have a blue tint and the other one a slight red tint.

AMOLED has still many flaws, but I keep my statement on the promising future AMOLED can achieve.
