[Galaxy S III General] zyryn:
Hey There..

just got my s3 a few days ago, pebble blue vietnam june batch..

Ok now there has been a lot of discussion regarding screen issues like:

1. Tints

2. Ink spots/blothces

3. Black Crush

4. Black/other color Clipping

5. Depth of Black level

I dont have problem 1... Just 2-3 tiny ink spots, so even problem 2 is negligble....i dont have problem 3 and its can be tweaked with software even if one has it..problem 4 i dont care about much...:p

So, my area of concern is the 5th problem, i.e when compared to an sgs2 or sgs1 , i find that the black levels are not as deep and super black as the former two phones !

Its not really noticable in normal lighting..please check the following in a very dark room or completely dark room...

Using a pure black wallpaper (attached below or use ur own true black wallpaper) , just open it in gallery, it seems extremely dark grey (almost black) and u can tell where the display meets the bezel...

well, even on sgs2 n sgs1 on pure black background, u could see a little backlight, so not perfect black, which is understandable....so here is where the main problem comes...read below..

on a sgs2 or sgs1,

When there is text or icons or other stuff over a pure black backgorund

, this time the blacks appear black (obviously its due to contrast difference producing the illusion of super black) and one

cannot tell where the screen border ends n the bezel starts, it just blends due to the super blacks

! This is what i love and want !!

However, this is not the case with my sgs3, the damned blacks still are not perfect black &

i can see where the screen borders end and distinguish the bezel & the screen

, they dont blend beautifully!

to experience this, in a dark room, on any brightness level, preferably test at 30% screen brightness cause thats what we normally tend to use indoors, atleast i do...

please use this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJO88Qhxwv4

(Thanks Tinderbox UK for the link)

or

play and high quality Dexter(Serial) video and see the part right before the intro theme where it says “SHOWTIME presents” (in white text) over a black blackground...

or

In youtube app when any video loads n the black screen comes with loading circle

or

use the pure black wallpaper with few icons on ur homescreen...

in the above cases, u should see pure black and u should not be able to tell where the screen n bezel borders meet..which is what u get on sgs1 n sgs2 screens..and i dont get this result on my sgs3 :-(

On sgs3, its almost black, but u can notice its very slightly gray ! so this is annoying to me since im so used to it appearing deeep black on the sgs1 n sgs2 !

--- So now what i need u guys to tell me is whether most sgs3 panels have this issue or is it just me ???

--- Will software tweaks like Supercurios upcoming “Display Expert” solve it by adding some black color depth adjustment ??

--- Should i take this to the Service Center? but prob is how will i show them the problem in a bright environment ?? and what if they tell me that the super amoled HD variant for the sgs3 is a new tech n differnt from the sgs1 n sgs2 screens and hence not as deep blacks ??

I WANT BLACK man !! i LOVED SuperAmoled cause if JET BLACK !! Help please!
