[Nexus 4 General] romeoliny:
Appreciate your perspective on this one and here's mine: In regards to the poll... I could have made a "The colors are not washed out.", but I like the screen just the way it is seemed fine at the time. And seeing as how this is the first complaint about that lol, I'm not thinking that was a big deal. Also, to follow that up you want a direct it's washed out or not, but then say everyone has the right to their opinions and its highly subjective. I agree with the latter, hence why the poll questions were written subjectively. As for the "Yes" Do you feel the Nexus 4 display is washed out? (Gamma too high) : "The gamma/colors need to be calibrated properly" is the direct "Yes", as you may notice 35 people attested to.

In the end, your point about comparisons against AMOLED, which I've discussed several times on this thread make a valid point but you might be forgetting that AMOLED is only one type of display. There are several that you can put up against the Nexus 4 and feel the same way (that's the display needs gamma tweaking).

I'm no iSheep (as I've mentioned), in fact since I work in mobile apps industry I have to have an iPhone, but I've always stuck strong with the Nexus line as my personal device since it's early adoption or shortly there after. iPhone uses the same type of IPS screen and they seem to be able to calibrate the colors correctly IMO. There are several other companies that often get it right too. Unfortunately Google comes out with the latest and greatest tech (in my opinion) and forgets the devil is in the details at times. Spend a little time getting the color calibration correct, and stop fussing with the gamma, and raising it incredibly high, is all I'm asking.

Many tests have been done that shows our IPS screens on the Google Nexus 4 can out contrast and our blacks can be darker than the iPhone 5, with only the whites beating the Nexus 4 by a slight margin. Even when I put up a hi-res photo higher than 720, our screens will provide a sharper picture as the iPhone 5 doesn't even support true HD, despite its incredibly sharp 326 PPI screen. I think a lot of us are just asking why can't we get the full nature of the beast to roar up out of our screen. Don't limit us or hold us back to that potential. Unleash it.

Lastly, as someone who really prides himself on the fine details of photography and digital imagery. I'm not saying that the Nexus 4 has a bad screen or anything. On the contrary -- it has an amazing display that I have the privilege of comparing against other displays since I have a ton of phones mostly work phones that are at my steady. Those that are happy with their Nexus 4 displays as they are, that's great. Unfortunately I want my display to meet it's abilities and it's somewhat insulting when people bring up AMOLED as though it's the reason so many of us feel the way we do about our displays. I only have 20/20 vision but if I can tell that the blacks appear to light, and the rest of the dark spectrum, then I'm hoping others can too. But you can choose to ignore it or you do not notice it, or even possibly prefer it that's your preference.

I took the liberty of adding a Screen review of the Nexus 4 display against several other phones (Not just AMOLED but super LCD and ISP) below so you can see how the screen itself performs and the reviews take on the potential quality of the screen.
