[LG V20 Real Life Review] inneyeseakay:
I'm going to disagree. The Note7 is a standard for "true black" because it is actually true black. An LED/OLED/AMOLED/etc display accomplishes black by simply shutting off an LED pixel, thus creating a 100% TRUE black. (Also, LED being off is using 0 energy).

LCD's on the other hand require backlighting, thus anytime the screen is on, the entire thing is lit. This is why no LCD will ever accomplish a 100% true black. It's also the reason why LCD's tend to be more of a battery hog because all pixels, even black ones, require lighting which requires energy.

To see the difference, put an AMOLED and LCD screen phone beside each other in a dark room and do a google image search for 000000, click one of the results and view it full screen. The AMOLED phone will appear to be off and the LCD phone will still be giving off light.

[LG V20 Real Life Review] nerys71:
Note 4 Note 7 no difference for this discussion same AMOLED panel.

the LGv20 has a nice screen. very nice screen in fact (I now have one) it is not REMOTELY as good as my note 4 screen.

way way way to high a color temp on the panel. its damned near blue. not remotely white. when I use low warming it helps a little but not much. you get used to it but you really really notice in large areas of white.

the blacks are ok but again. horrid if you are used to an oled panel. I hope LG puts an oled panel in the V30 since I know they have the tech (their oled televisions are drop dead sexy alas way way outside of anything remotely in my budget)

what helps is that it has the 1440p panel. this really is the ideal resolution for a 5.5 to 6 inch panel where 1080p is just lacking noticeably. you adjust to the high temperature you don't adjust to low resolution.

sadly so far the camera is crap at night. grrr. was hoping for better. have not really tested in in daytime yet though I expect it will be fine.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] Skripka:
So turn down the blue. Nougat lets you.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] koppee1:
Hmm.. Coming from a note 7... The 7 still has a better screen.. But increase brightness to 60 and up and it looks really great. Can't complain.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] ars_92:
Yeah the blacks cant compare to my note 4 but at least the viewing angle is good enough. Dont notice any colour shift at any reasonable angle.

[LG V20 Real Life Review] rubiicon59:
It's not much of a thread tbh. I've just read it.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] HD2FORNICK:
Amoled vs LCD. Note 4 vs V20. You win some you lose some. Having come from Amoled screens (Nexus 6, Note 4, etc) you get spoiled by blacks. However, the colors on the V20 are fantastic. I am a weekend pro photographer and can tell you I feel the V20 is way more natural than the over saturated colors of an Amoled screen. Also viewing angles on the V20 maintain colors while the Note 4 does not.

But back to black levels. This is good for an LCD screen and turning off the top display improves it a lot. The black level is good but it is a dark grey. But when you watch Netflix etc in the dark it is not bad at all. Not Amoled good but definitely not bad.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] HD2FORNICK:
OK so having done some more watching with the lights totally off, I can say this is a disaster in terms of black levels. I watched 10 minutes of Lord Of The Rings and pretty much stopped.

With the various customs roms on the H918, some have the color control app which really makes a difference. Almost like having a sammy again. Note 7 RIP.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] mrnovanova:
I'm a hardcore Sammy fan boy but I have to say that as far as color reproduction goes, this phone is better than the s7 edge and the note 7. I'm not a big fan of LCD but I am very impressed with this phone as far as color accuracy goes.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] Andrew0811:
not really that bad since i use comfort mode.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] BackCheck:
For what it's worth, my VS995 seems to have over-saturated green a little. No biggie since my kernel has KCAL.

Ghosting

?

It's past 1 year mark.

The screen ghosting issue is so prominent that it's annoying.

This is well known in the.forum's but it's not something that lg is talking about.

I'm going to have to find out if there is a recall or can get this fixed.

Truly disappointed.

I think Lg v20 display has a Good Pixel per inch ratio so that We can't see any dot with naked eye but thw color production is Soo Bad .....

I mean if we compare with Samsun display... They Are far better then This :(
[LG V20 Real Life Review] helf:
The color reproduction on the LG panels is actually *really* good. Samsung cranks the vibrancy and saturation up on their displays because it is pleasing to most people's eyes. If anything, Samsungs color reproduction is vastly inferior with default settings. Both class of panels can be calibrated to be more correct though.

The other thing is that LGs colors are "cooler" and Samsung *always* biases towards warmer displays.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] maxi65:
As we all knows people want Color vibrancy which Samsung is delivering actually.

I've tried to calibrate my display many time but even LG's display can't compete with Samsung's 2013 flagships display.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] helf:
In what ways? And don't forget you are comparing an IPS-LCD to SAMOLED+ which will have vastly better blacks. LCDs can't yet compete on the contrast of an OLED.

I don't care what people want. They jump from one has to another and sacrifice utility for form at the drop of a hat.

I'll keep my color correct LCD that won't suffer from actual burn in :p

(My retention is all but nonexistent and that isn't permanent regardless)
[LG V20 Real Life Review] maxi65:
Whatever it is.... There is no comparison between Ips LCD and SuperAmoled display .

By the way your retention problem can simply be fixed if you're rooted :)
[LG V20 Real Life Review] helf:

[LG V20 Real Life Review] phamanhvu01:
You can try using the built-in Comfort View to make the display warmer. I set mine to high and it looks really close to my Galaxy Note 4, using the Basic display color option.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] maxi65:
Low,mid,high?
[LG V20 Real Life Review] phamanhvu01:
Yup that one. I use high on mine. Here's a comparison to my Note 4 with the basic color mode. The Note 4 is warmer here, but I'd say that it's pretty close. And a heck lot better than stock.

There is much difference between these two

Just use Lux software. It can dim it as low as you want.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] Anarchaotic:
If you're unrooted this is a big battery drain. Lux throws on what is essentially a screen filter, and since it's not at a system level it's constantly using extra resources to keep it afloat.

I agree though, this screen is way too bright even on the lowest setting

You've got no idea how bright my previous G Flex 2's 0% brightness. It nearly blind my eyes in the dark. :D :D :D

Very clear voice quality

My mother doesn't hear real well, and says she has a hard time understanding people on the phone, but she said I am very clear and can understand me very well! People I am talking to sound very clear to me also, so I think the sound is excellent. I use a plantronics bluetooth, so don't know if that makes a difference or not.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] niteowl360:
Thank you.

After using the phone for some time I can confirm call quality to be excellent.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] dude52:
I have to say, the Samsung Galaxy S7 definitely has the best call quality on a smart phone... BUT, this definitely comes in second place. The curved top part of the device with the earphone placement is genius. You don't have to press you're whole cheek or whole ear against the phone, just lean in a little bit and you can hear perfectly. It doesn't get tiring having it on one ear, like on my other phones, after a while I have to move it to another ear. It's loud as well so you may need to turn it down a bit once you put it up to you're ear, but not ear piercing loud. It is as crystal as it gets but this phone has EXTREME noise canceling, which is great, but it literally can't hear anyone talking in the background or the TV, just you. You have to yell really loud if you're in the background and you want the other person to hear you. Some guy blasted his loud speaker walking past me one day and my friend on the phone could barely hear it, it just sounded like a tiny buzz to her. Samsung still takes the cake. Even if you have one bar the quality is good, and the LTE calling is pretty good too.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] KUSOsan:
Just chiming in as well. T-Mobile h918 and the call quality is great whether on voLTE, HD voice or not. I have used a Verizon S7 and a T-Mobile S7 edge and have noticed no difference in quality compared to my V20 so far.

WIFI Multi Route Network Problem

I am having problems with wifi on my work network in the office. The explanation I got from our IT department is that the phone is having troubles with multi route setting on the network. Wifi home works without problems, but wifi at the office is not working at all. It is showing as connected but you cannot open any page nor get any internet access through any app. Anybody having this issue?
[LG V20 Real Life Review] SixT7VDub:
This is the first phone I've owned that has been able to fully utilize my home internet speeds. Every other phone has reduced the speeds by as much as half, and sometimes as little at 25%.

The auto switch between wifi and mobile data works great. There was nothing more frustrating than sitting in my car in front of my house, trying to pull up navigation and the phone running horrendously slow because it wanted to use my wifi that was 100 feet and 16 walls away, just because there was a signal.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] REPAIRMANAGER22:
I had the same issue with my wi-fi and internet signal for a time. Have you tried checking the phone lines in your area? Stactic noise in the lines may affect the stability of the signal. Have an IT expert check and replace the line if necessary to hopefully resolve the issue.

[LG V20 Real Life Review] RicoX9:
My V20 is head and shoulders better than my Note 7 when it comes to networking performance. I had real, serious issues with throughput on the N7. My Note 3 would get ~5MB/sec transfers from my home Linux servers' SMB shares, the N7 would get 800-1000KB on a good day. The V20 is on par with the N3 on SMB, but where it REALLY shines is encrypted transfers via SCP. I can do SCP file copies at 80MB/sec reliably. It's amazing. I'm guessing we have some sort of encryption offload chip in the phone or something.

Auto Proxy

OK so I investigated the issue of not having internet through WIFI although connected to network, and the issue is that the phone cannot use auto proxy? My LG G4 did not have this issue. Setting up manual proxy through Drony app solves the issue. Any way to get this working straight out of android? Seems like 7.0 took a step back in usability.

I have a Asus AC68U router and the LG V20 reports the connection speed as 78Mbps, whereas my S7 Edge shows the speed as 173Mbps while connected to the same network.

Wifi strength is good, a lot better than my G3. The download speeds are a little less than my laptop, like 35 vs 50 and 70 on 2 laptops, they may be connecting to different severs though, the speed seems to vary more on the phone. Sometimes it's slow to switch over to LTE when moving out of wifi range. Tells me no internet connection when wifi is too weak to get a good signal. Mainly an issue I think with a weak wifi signal that it's still trying to connect to.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] st0rmz:
What steps do you go through to make your v20 connect to work wifi? I have a new v20 from Tmobile and upon my 1st try to connect to work wifi, i can reach the splash login page, but after entering credentials, it bounces me back to the splash page instead of verifying that I have logged in. My older Nexus 6 has no issues connecting to wifi...
[LG V20 Real Life Review] st0rmz:
Solution to my issue: Not sure if it was a combination of things or just solely this tip from an LG rep:

Go to: Settings>Apps> (3 dots top left) > Show System> Wi-Fi > (storage>clear cache & clear data)

Tried connecting to Wifi after that and it worked on my v20. Also I entered in slightly different info in my work wifi splash page which may or may not have made a difference.
