[G2 General] jntdroid:
While I don't disagree, for some reason the S4's screen is still easier on my eyes than the G2's. (and I'm not coming directly from an S4) Maybe the G2's auto-brightness is just leaning towards being too dim, or maybe over-saturating a LCD screen looks worse than an over-saturated AMOLED screen, or maybe it's simply the text that the G2 uses... I don't know what it is, but I'm finding the G2's screen doesn't feel as nice to my eyes as the S4's. I know, I'm probably crazy...
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yeah, you're crazy. :p
[G2 General] hackarchive:
I'm not going to argue here but when I do lay out information I know what I mean.I did a test and this reviewer did it too.They r the same!LG is oversaturating.Watch this before saying what not.Samsung doesn't over saturate.Their displays are produced like that by default and have a wide gamut.But they seem to be correcting that with the s4.
[G2 General] jayochs:
I can tell you what it is.. it's the glass and LCD combo they use. it's weird on the eyes. it's very reflective and can almost get a weird rainbow effect, and it has bad angle viewing.

this screen is almost identical to my rezound.. amazing screen but it had that weird glossy effect to it. the dna however was a diff type of screen apparently bc it didn't resemble that at all... and now the g2 does again.

basically it's hard to explain but htc uses a screen very similar to this in the rezound which is reflective and glossy whereas in the dna and one they switched to some different type. maybe it's the glass? idk. but the g2 does have a diff type of LCD screen to it.

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

also idk how you can say the s4 isn't over saturated. I have to set it down to the standard or photo screen setting bc their stock is the dynamic one that's super saturated.
[G2 General] Semantics:
If you don't want people to ask you why you've come to this conclusion or to even have the audacity to question your decision, then perhaps you're better off not posting something at all. Talk about a terrible post, essentially you say "Do what I tell you, and don't ask why".
[G2 General] WPWoodJr:
You can see here that while the G2 display covers sRGB space nicely, LG have pushed the saturation on R, G, and B values. For instance, look at the two dots at the bottom in Blue. The next to last dot should be in the next to last square for accuracy. Instead, as R, G, and B values approach maximum saturation, the color approaches full saturation too quickly. Hard to explain but stare at the chart for awhile and you will understand :fingers-crossed:
[G2 General] tech_head:
Actually not hard to understand if you understand photography,

But from the chart you can see that the colors are also shifted in ways that will make the screen look strange or skin tones maybe too green or red.

So not only does it saturate too quickly but the colors are shifted.
[G2 General] hackarchive:
I don't know why some keep arguing.I own a G2 and we r on the same side.I'm stating the facts and they r as clear as the fact that LG made this phone(or is it made by Apple?).That's y I say don't question the proofs of over saturation I laid before.The picture above is crystal clear!
[G2 General] heffzilla:
Um, yeah. The screen looks just fine to me. I really don't care what charts say, I'm sitting here with my g2 next an s4 and the g2 looks less "cartoony" so I'm fine with it. I just thought I would mention that color calibration was available, not to start a lecture on color saturation.
[G2 General] hackarchive:
perfectly fine for me too!
[G2 General] Semantics:
I understand and I'm not arguing with you, I just think the delivery could have been a bit better. You could have at least left it open to foster a discussion, and not been so dismissive to people who might have questions about your conclusion. That's all I was getting at.
[G2 General] IamPro:
Maybe I am a saturation sucker but I did like the colors on my S4, seemed to pop on there.. not so much on the G2, its lighter
[G2 General] Semantics:
Took me a while to get used to the LG screens when I first got my Nexus 4. I actually prefer them now to the S4 and the One. One thing I really like is that there is pretty much no space between the glass and the screen. I think it will grow on you. The screen looks brilliant with video and colorful backgrounds, etc.
[G2 General] Billy Madison:
Strange. Erica tells us that in HTC One LCD dislpay has WAY more accurate color reproduction than in G2. And you tell that LGs are more better than HTC's. And HTC's are named the second greatest displays in the world by all observers and reviewers, inferior to none except iPhone5. And LG's are not even mentioned by any reviewers, not named perfect at all

What I know about HTC's technologies is they use sort of laminating layer of some material between the glass and lcd matrix named SoLuX™. And this layer's tech they bought from Apple (I presume, that's why LG lacks it, they didn't buy it), it reduces reflections and "rainbow issues" you mentioned
[G2 General] Semantics:
Don't put words in my mouth. I never said they were better than HTC. I said I prefer the screens over the S4 and One. Opinions vary. That's my opinion.
[G2 General] Billy Madison:
Then you meant you prefer worst display? I thought what you preferred is better one. At least for your eyes
[G2 General] Semantics:
I'm saying I think this is the better display. That's an opinion. If it's not yours then great. Because I believe this screen is better does not make me wrong, or you right. Everyone is different, I prefer this screen and I do not think it's the worst display. I own an HTC One also, I prefer this screen.
[G2 General] WPWoodJr:
Here on Anandtech's review you can see that the HTC One has a very "blue" white point, it is 8100k vs the G2's 7100k. Normal white point is 6500k. You will also see that the HTC One is slightly brighter at full brightness. It also shows that the average error for the HTC one is higher for saturation and gray scale. Although it looks like the HTC One is more accurate in the blues. HTC one beats G2 by a smidgeon in the Gretag Macbeth chart.

Really they are both very good, except for the HTC One's bluish white point.
[G2 General] Billy Madison:
Yes, I do know it. My Nitro had somewhat 7000K white point and had a subtle little blueish tint, but in G Pro they calibrated white to, like, 8000K and stripped yellow colors completely so I started my rant LG I want my yellow back. Probably, I think, they read my rant and brought a warmer white point back so now this http://www.google.com/search?site=imghp&tbm=isch&q=5403393757_b5b17ea28d_o.jpg picture on G2 will look more like on the monitor screen

I'm glad dat LG is learning from our needs
[G2 General] mannequin:
interesthing that so many things are available in Trickster without a custom kernel.

did anybody actually try to calibrate it?
[G2 General] user30000z:
Can I use it with only stock rom & root?
[G2 General] Nickyro23:
The fact that you believe they read and made a change based on your rant is hilarious to me.
[G2 General] enik_fox:
I'm torn between the G2 display and the One display. I think if the HTC one was the same size as the G2 I'd pick the HTC hands down but I love this displays size. Lg phones just always have a bit more light bleed than I'd like. They made leaps and bounds with the G2 display vs the G display though!
[G2 General] bigsnack:
If I'm not mistaken in their review the Verge said they prefer the G2 display over the HTC One, which they liked over the 5/5s.
[G2 General] willi_3609:
I found a good calibration setting.

Red, 254

Green ,255

Blue, 223

Like movie mode on sgs4, measured at 6543k

Really nice color temp.

If you like the Nexus 7 2013 calibration use this.

Red:255

Green:244

Blue:233

I have all three devices, and I came to the color combs after half an hour of tweaking the g2 for each.

Don't feel afraid to like!

Thanks!
[G2 General] demberel:
What app or custom rom did you use for calibrate screen?.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Downloaded trickster and am trying your color settings.

So far so good!

On the Optimus G3 ROM & held the phone up to a real G3 at Best Buy.

My screen looks better color wise :)
[G2 General] sawyerbenjamin:
[MENTION=702877]tech_head[/MENTION] hit the nail on the head.

I do some photography and this is really getting under my skin because I like to share my images and I just have distrust since I'm not seeing what others are seeing.

I took this photo with my S3. The phone can't focus, but the colors honor what I am really seeing, except the green on my phone is more unbearable in real life.

The phone has some crazy green bias. I edited to picture to have more blue midtones and some green/yellow lows and highs.

Buy my phone translate that into an obnoxious amount of green highlights and mids.

In trickster when I try to turn any of the RGB numbers below 250, it snaps back to 250 and says "Apply Successfully". How tf is that successful?

Anyway, can anyone help me with this? I would greatly appreciate it. Lol.

After maybe 5 or 6 months, I've finally found something about this phone that bothers me.

I'm running Cloudy G3 btw.
[G2 General] 60nine:
screen color calibration doesn't affect photos taken with the camera...

if you want to calibrate the screen color - try [MENTION=3279781]bender_007[/MENTION] app "screen calibrator" - you can find it by searching the forum ("themes and apps" section i think)

you've said that you do some photography - did you try mi2raw camera app? which can shoot pictures in dng raw mode (you can find it in "general" section of g2 forums)
[G2 General] sawyerbenjamin:
That picture was taken on a 550D, edited in PS, then transferred to the G2. I then took a side by side photo (using my S3) of the picture on my G2 and my laptop to show the difference in color. Probably should've explained that better. Lol.

And thanks for the suggestions, I'll definitely be checking both of those apps out. :good:

-----------------------------

Are you sure the Screen Calibrator app is still up on the forums? I searched the Themes and Apps thread and couldn't find it. I even went to his profile and he has list of his work, but the Screen Calibrator isn't on that list.
[G2 General] 60nine:
oops, it's under android development

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53060328

btw you got me confused, what seems to be your problem?

afaik, lg g2 ips screen colors are no match for the plain lcd panels that are usually on samsungs and 90% of the notebooks...

ips = better...

being a graphic designer, i also have an ips panel computer monitor because of its better color reproduction...
[G2 General] sawyerbenjamin:
Someone stated earlier, with a graph, that the skin tones are gonna be more red and green biased.

I was confirming that with the picture. The G2 has a real green/yellowish bias. I understand my laptop will reproduce colors a lot better, but the G2 panel is just way off on the colors.

My actual problem was that Trickster didn't seem to be working correctly. But I'm gonna give the Screen Calibrator link you gave me a try. Haha.
[G2 General] rubencarmona:
You can't just calibrate with a tool as you will do that with your eyes. Unfortunately, our brain accomodates the color view depending on the ambient light, colors around etc. You'll only be able to calibrate correctly with a hardware tool with objective sensors: Spyder4, Colormunki, etc.
[G2 General] TaRsY:
Hi!

Does anyone use KCAL2 compatible kernel and tweak the screen color and gamma settings (dorimanx and BC kernel supports for example)?

I hope someone can create a great preset, a good calibration like many did for the nexus 5. Unfortunately I can't set it up properly since I don't have a reference screen with me. My nexus 5 looked awesome with "yorici calibrated ounch" preset.

This is the app you can use to control the new interface's values:

[G2 General] 4r44444:
Dorimanx recommendet set sattuation to 50. I did it, it's nice.
[G2 General] knuckles1978:
The G2 has a crisper screen, I've had this G2 for 2 weeks now, and before that I did have a Galaxy S4. I do miss AMOLED though. Sure the colours might not be of the greatest accuracy, but they look so cool. AMOLED is the one thing that I do miss from my old phones. Apart from the burn in after a year or so, I won't miss that lol, but AMOLED screens are beautiful things IMO..
[G2 General] chinesecooler:
Does anyone noticed that the screen saturation has been tuned down in the Lollipop update? I miss those punchy colors from KitKat rom. Is there a way to import the kernel's display profile from KitKat? :confused:
[G2 General] fridaycider:
I just use sqlite debugger and increase screen intensity. Works with any kernel and screen is nice and punchy now.
[G2 General] TornadoMiMo:
Can you explain to me how did you do that and will it works on stock kernel ??
[G2 General] phatmanxxl:
I look at my wife's SGS5 and I really like the saturated look of the screen , I try to get my phone to look the same.
