Since lots of users like to compare phones that didn't even hit the shops yet, or are not even officially launched , why not compare other related stuff? :

I find this recent Erica Griffin's video which is called "the truth about Amoled vs LCD" quite interesting:

[YOUTUBE]DChnGXLErrI[/YOUTUBE]

I stick with Amoled anytime, even with the possibility of that "blue pixel burn-in"

Edit:

And here some interesting related info provided (once again) by Barry:

.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AllGamer:
I only buy Samsung because of the AMOLED screens.

it's true there will eventually be some bluish pixel burn-in after you have used the phone for a good 3 or more years

and it doesn't seem to affect all AMOLED screens, but specific to the 5 color ones, the S-AMOLED seems unaffected by it.

I'm basing that from my old AMOLED i9000 and Nexus S vs. the S-AMOLED on the S2

As for color accuracy, I like the more vivid color provided by the AMOLED than the LCD / S-LCD
[Galaxy Note 3 General] magik300:
Interesting stuff. My next phone gonna be LCD.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AllGamer:
even after learning what they do to the LCD displays?

you will probably have to run your own tests to see which phone has a correct LCD display, or waiting until some one has done a Gamut color level review on it before getting one.

at least with AMOLED you know what to expect.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] CLARiiON:
I will not go into fight any about this, but after using both AMOLED and LCD, I simply don't find LCD 'interesting'.

But if we really want to go deep into technical analysis, you will find that a AMOLED display is considered to be the best display commercially available now. Check Samsung's new OLED TV KN55S9C reviews. Every reviews (including consumer reports) have mentioned that this has the best picture quality available right now.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Enivri88:
I am going to be honest here and put my hands up and say I was not aware OLED screens are still affected by burn-in - but it makes sense.

I think I am going to cancel my pre-order of the Note 3, things like this really put me off - I love my nexus 4 screen and I think I may now wait out the Nexus 5 which will in all likelihood have IPS.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] betoNL:
My last 4 devices were all with Amoled S and N series and never had such issues.

You really have to stay a loooooong time on one screen position to then, only increase a chance of blueish burn-in......... I guess

.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vtjay:
Yeah, screens have come a long way since even my galaxy nexus, which I didn't like it always looked greenish to me. But I played with a note 2 and that screen is great, the gs4 is even better, screens are largely a personal preference but give me true black any day
[Galaxy Note 3 General] boshindo:
Interesting find. Gonna have to look for something to replace all the JellyBean blues on the new phone to ensure longevity. Tbh I haven't noticed anything on my current 1.5 yr old amoled phone or the 3 yr old phone before that. But I have noticed how much I enjoy the color, over saturated or not. An Apple genius bar friend had severe screen envy when he saw the size and colors lol.

Only downside has been viewability in sunlight to where I have to drag brightness all the way up to get a decent picture.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Good news for the reviewer! She can buy AMOLED again if she wants to. Starting with the SGS4 Samsung's moved to a new PenTile geometry called Diamond Pixels. In it, sub-pixels are sized differently based on their longevity. Blue is the least energy efficient (most likely to erode) and is now larger than red and green.

A high resolution screen shot of the Galaxy S4*(provided by Samsung) shows an interesting design and sub-pixel arrangement, which Samsung callsDiamond Pixels. First of all, the Red, Green, and Blue sub-pixels have very different sizes – Blue is by far the largest because it has the lowest efficiency, and Green is by far the smallest because it has the highest efficiency. The alternating Red and Blue sub-pixel PenTile arrangement discussed above leads to a 45 degree diagonal symmetry in the sub-pixel layout. Then, in order to maximize the sub-pixel packing and achieve the highest possible PPI, that leads to diamond rather than square or stripe shaped Red and Blue sub-pixels. But not for the Green sub-pixels, which are oval shaped because they are squeezed between two much larger and different sized Red and Blue sub-pixels. It’s display art…​

As for what display is best, that's easy. The one you like the best.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] shook187:
The chick in the video seems to like making videos about this very same topic every now and then, not sure why she's obsessing over this topic.

Erica move on, is this the only topic you could throw out there to actually sound like you're smart?

Who gives a hoot about the difference it's all a matter of preference and now let's move on to something else.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SGBE:
Regardless of what the sales and marketing terms are, the simple fact is all current and future Samsung devices have made the switch to "Super AMOLED" based panels so do not concern yourself with any BLED burn-in. This so-called issue was addressed several generations ago when AMOLED was still under testing and Samsung is among the best when it comes to yield/performance.

With that said, both the Samsung and T-Mobile sites show the final NS3 specs, which includes the use of their "Super AMOLED Display".

All is good and here in San Diego, CA, both T-Mobile and Verizon retail stores are sticking with October 1st and 2nd (respectively) as the official release.

Transparent notification bars ftw
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hackarchive:
I hope u guys really did understand her video.Even if LG over saturated in real life the s4's colors are still more saturated than the LG's even if the calibration on the s4 is about right.This is because of the wide gamut.She's pissed that LG over saturated so much not that the G2 is more saturated than the s4(the s4 is more and I compared them).AMOLED is new tech and even if it looks great with puchy colors maufacturers have way more work to do.They run hotter than LCD,they die earlier,blue pixel burn in,previously black clipping which is solved only on the s4 and note 3.Even power saving many talk of except your phone is completely black with black fonts, wallpaper,widget(lol u won't see anything) u can't save power on AMOLED.I just don't like it because of it's issues.Everyone has his opinion but don't say it's great or better than LCD just because your device has AMOLED.Tell the truth.AMOLED needs a breakthrough to really show it's power management and other qualities.The famous moto x doesn't blow the HTC one out of the water in terms of battery life even with all the power saving tech and AMOLED.(some LCDs OPPO find 5 and xperia z1+ z ultra have punchy blacks unless you turn off all the lights)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] slimslim:
Well gn3 might be my first samoled device, but in all honesty I don't really give a damn since in about a year or max 2 I'll get a new device anyways. Disposable :P
[Galaxy Note 3 General] CLARiiON:
Who said saturation is bad? And when did wide colour gamut become a bad thing? Even with a wider gamut, AMOLED still can't cover full range of visible colour space. Even if someone pushes to Adobe RGB or NTSC colour space, I think its good.

AMOLED covers more green-yellow-cyan range. Remember that the eye is more sensitive to yellowish-green light than other colors. G2 is over-saturating the colours, but it can't show additional colours like AMOLED as it's inherently restricted to show just near sRGB space. Why restrict ourself to sRGB when it was designed for CRT monitors?? But the fact remains that AMOLED can show more colours compared to LCD. And that's a good thing.

Reviews have proved that the best available display right now is OLED display. Samsung's OLED TV KN55S9C is considered to have the best picture quality. Saying AMOLED is bad is pure non-sense.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] @home:
A very irritating woman - Take with a pinch of salt
[Galaxy Note 3 General] betoNL:
LOL...There is no High-end device with better battery performance than the GNote2...Totally energy efficient and the screen is gorgeous....

Maybe the GNote3 will have better battery performance, but that remains to be seen ...

And I hope you really did understand the new PenTile geometry called Diamond Pixels thing, mentioned just a couple of posts before yours....

.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's my opinion. I could give a crap whether a device I want to purchase has AMOLED or LCD. All I want is a good high quality display. There are crappy LCD displays (there are tons of posts in the One and Z1 forums about display issues) and crappy AMOLED displays. Truthfully, on a 4.7-6" canvas the amount of energy devoted to examining nuances in displays is comical. AMOLED has far superior contrast, bolder colors, better reflectance, better viewing angles and uses less energy on dark colors. LCD produces truer colors (depending on OEM calibration choices), is brighter, and uses less energy on light colors. The hardest part of going from AMOLED to LCD for me is the drop in contrast and greyish blacks which are unavoidable. If the N3 had a high quality LCD display I'd be totally fine with it. More important than the display is what it's attached to and I happen to be happy with Samsung's products. I'm not buying a display; I'm buying the high-end mobile device it's a component of. And the displays in Sony and HTC's phones are all made by Sharp-Renasys or JDI anyway.

And as you ridicule AMOLED, ask yourself why Motorola (Google) used it in the Moto X which is the most important phone they've ever released.

Like LCD? Bully, buy a LCD-equipped phone. Like AMOLED, buy a phone that has it. If you're happy I'm happy for you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hackarchive:
Exactly what I was saying before.Defending because you own it.The note 2's display is not great compared to any thing I've seen in 2013.The GS4's display blows it out of space forth and back with color accuracy and beauty.I have no hate for amoled because samsung is making it way better.I actually appreciate the gs4's display.My problems with amoled are heating,oversaturation,lifespan and touch accuracy(neglected).But till then I can't use amoled.I think in 2 yrs samsung may fix most of the issues as they did for black clipping.

And those praising the note 2's display I couldnt even watch series on that thing.Black clipping kills it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] betoNL:
You are confused.

Black clipping was an issue afflicting the GNote 1

Totally solved on the GNote2

Based also on your prior post, I really think you are confusing the GNote2 with its predecessor ....

.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Actually, based on his owning a G2, he's just making himself feel better about his choice. That's fine, but based on the oudated and limited info he has on Samsung's recent AMOLEDs let's call it what it is. Lighthearted trolling.

I'll be back in a bit, I'm going over to the G2 forum to tell them how inferior their phone is and how Samsung rules. JK, I'd never do that and I'm not too fond of people that do. It's far from constructive.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] frensel:
It is interesting to think that why the displays of Nokia Lumia 1020, Motorola X, and BlackBerry Z30 are AMOLED. Are they over saturated?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
59% of all (not just Android) smartphones sold have been Samsung and I'd guess the majority of Samsung's smartphones are AMOLED. One of the points made in the video OP posted is that device manufacturers are intentionally amping up the colors in their LCD-equipped devices via calibration to exaggerate them so they look more like AMOLED. Those two things tell me that no matter what our individual opinions are the masses like bold but inaccurate color.

I have friends who set their LCD TVs to "store" or "demo" mode because they like the excessive brightness and color saturation. We're all so concerned about color reproduction on our 4.7-6" smartphones but how many here have their LCD TVs professionally calibrated? I actually have and you'd be surprised how many friends complain about how "dull" the picture is.

Yeah I'm a troll right?I'm just saying the truth.And there's still abit of black clipping with the note 2 except you tell me it's LCD.The gs4's display was an AMOLED breakthrough(new arrangement+ color accuracy)I will never support a device because I own it.Always say the real thing!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] p51d007:
Big whoop!

I'm in my mid 50's, heck, I can't see the subpixels anyway. Reason for the Note1 when I got it was those stupid 3.5" screens were

WAY TOO SMALL for me to see anything. 5-6" screens are what I need.:eek:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
That's actually a fairly balanced post. There have been tons of issues with AMOLED displays over time. The SGS2 had a yellow vertical bar on the left 1/4 of the display you could see on grays and all the AMOLEDs up to the N2 had issues where X% had wild skews in color temperature (and I mean wild like purple, green, blue). The SGS4 has what people describe as "smearing" which I don't exactly understand. But, go look at the One, Z1, Z, and Z Ultra forums. They're having tons of LCD display issues. I don't follow LG phones so can't comment. Regardless, no display technology is perfect. I've had a N2 since last November and have been looking at its display every day since then. I'm pleased with it. Maybe it's got clipping, smearing, or other issues but I've never noticed. If I have to go looking for an issue or it occurs less than 5% of the time I'm using the phone it doesn't freak me out. Little in my life is "perfect" and I somehow survive. So "perfection" in my mobile device isn't really an expectation. And even if the N3 had a LCD display that was inferior to a similar LG phone I’d still buy the Samsung phone because while the display’s certainly important it’s not the only criteria in choosing a phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hackarchive:
we finally agree on sth.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] eroracing:
I personally like the over saturation of oled displays..... It's all personal preference!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Onemoa:
I wouldn't do that. Super AMOLED displays can be affected by burn in but only if a a static image is displayed for long periods of time. And by long we are talking many hours. There's a better chance the battery will die before any damage to the display will appear.

The only case of burn in I've ever really seen was when the first Galaxy was released and people would plug them in and put them on a dock and use them as a clock. Even then the user's didn't notice burn in until week's after them using it as a clock for 8+ hours a night.

With the new diamond layout there is an even less chance for it to happen. On the first galaxy the display was stripe pentile layout. So that layout would be more prone to burn in if used improperly.

Pentile Super AMOLED displays have come a long way since, I wouldn't worry about burn in with today's AMOLED screens. Unless of course you use it in a dock overnight with the display on its highest brightness and for weeks at a time.

Just keep auto brightness on and don't max the brightness all the time and you will never have any problems with burn in.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Stolly08:
Ya never seen burn in on any of the newer devices ever... I think its just some made up complaint by people who are jealous of how smexy amoled screens are... Just like this guy above me said it would take weeks of the phone being on as a clock or something in the same spot before that would happen... I'm am honestly on my phone CONSTANTLY I'll admit it... I have a problem... Between the internet and forums and Facebook and listening to music and while at work I'm constantly on it as well etc I will admit (im23) if my parents knew how much I'm on it they'd tell me I have a problem lol

I absolutely love the color saturation of my GS3 I couldn't ask for any better! LCD looks bland to me now... I've had this thing since release and no issues with screen whatsoever...

Its personal preference tbh there aren't widespread complaints of burn-in on oled screens so whether you like "more natural color" or "amazing lively color saturation" its up to you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] betoNL:
First you post Black clipping on the Note2 was killing it for you:

And then after a long time not finding one single evidence of that, you decide to re-appear posting that there's just a bit of it:

So what is it ? A bit or a lot ?

Typical trolling

I can post tons of video's demonstrating black clipping on the Note 1 (which I also owned) and sgs3 ....

I can run the same dark scened videos on the Note2 with zero black clipping

Show me one video of the Note2 with black clipping

I own the Note2 for 12 months now and never experienced black clipping

And...we are not troll busters after all.... cause you came back :laugh:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] darkhawkff:
While I still really want to get the Note 3, I'm highly contemplating it now.

I have a Galaxy Nexus, which does have the SAMOLED screen in it. And it has some serious blue burn in all over my screen.

I play Ingress, quite a bit. Usually about 2 to 3 hours every day during the week. Most of the UI is burned into the screen rather badly.

It's bad, but I'm still really considering the Note 3 over the LG G2. Even knowing that I'll probably have the same issue in the end.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] magik300:
1st I want something different

2nd I don't want to pixel burnout

3rd it doesn't matter at all because I'm so getting nexus5!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:
Is it me, or is AMOLED less bright than LCD?

I just returned the LG G2, and I'm definitely getting the Note 3, but I was concerned when I saw the Note 2's display next to the G2. Looked super dark in comparison.

And as far as degeneration of the screen over 2 or 3 years, I honestly don't know anyone who keeps a phone that long. If I love the N3, I will still ditch it for the N4.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vtjay:
I sold my gnex because I hated the screen, it was dim, and always looked green to me. I went to the iPhone after because it had the best screen, after playing with the gs4 and droid phones... Amoled has come a long way, so judge the screen for yourself, if you don't like it there are other screen technologies...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] clninja:
Burn in after 2 -3 years ? I cant keep a phone longer than 1 year and even that is a long time.

I have no such issue and I am power user.

Here in Europe you get 2 years warranty, so there is no way I would NOT sent my device to service and/or replace it, If it had such an issue being an amoled, lcd or whatever

Furthermore how do you get a white screen so dark? That's weird.. I would be worried about that :laugh:

.

.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Tubgirl:
Well, same thing happened to my S2 and Note1. I think the reason is that I always have 100% brightness with auto unchecked. It must wear a lot more compared to if you run at 80% or auto for example.

What brightness do you use?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sammath:
I like Amoled more then lcd, I can't stand back lights.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] betoNL:
Ialways use automatic brightness which can also be adjusted depending where you are (indoors or outdoors)

The screen would just burn (hurt) my eyes if I would use it at 100% brightness also in dark environments.

I could give you more tips, but there is no use, if you got serious screen issues..

I hope you still got warranty on your device...
