@JarrodsTech6 years ago Just an update, i' ve been using the 6p for over 3 years now, still no problems with burn in with the screen always on about 50% brightness. 70
@

@TesserLink8 years ago The thing i like the most about amoled screens is the blacks are well blacks its not a weird dark gray because of the back-light. Dark scene movies are much better. 224

@UrbanFires7 years ago Thank youvery informative and simple to understand video. Unlike other videos out there, you clearly state the differences in layman' s term. 29

@loukasmallios58114 years ago Newer lcd displays are now much better than earlier. I have the redmi note 8 pro and even it has lcd it has awesome colours. If i turn the brightness to minimum, the blacks are almost physical as amoled. 23

@shimasalleh90734 years ago Jarrod, i noticed ips lcd have more accurate colors than super amoled.

@hamelzz7 years ago I just picked up a galaxy s8 and i loved the amoled screen and incredible resolution of the phone. I could look at the phone all day. 10

@sunnysighup8 years ago I actually see viewing angles a con than a pro. Phones are supposedly private and you dont know want strangers looking over your shoulders. 80

@ahmadnyaa4 years ago Which is better compared realme7(90hz lcd screen) with oppo a93(amoled screen) for daily used like scrolling apps?
@

@asianguyimagicrenation3 years ago I prefer lcd than amoled
because lcd have realistic colours. Unlike amoled, lcd did not make me sleepy while using phone. 7
@

@ikanderson5 years ago Some displays can' t turn the pixels back on fast enough, so you get this weird smear of black when there is motion. Some apps allow you to disableblacks and make the pixels very dark instead. 5

@memphisM37 years ago Lcd-true colors and display. I like capturing what it really looks like. If deep blacks are your major argument, that' s lame. Amoled-over saturation . ...Expand 17

@JeffreyBarranco4206 years ago I prefer an amoled display over the lcd. My phone is using an lcd. It looks great but i prefer an amoled display to take advantage on the always on display feature. 1

@FIutterWave6 years ago I' m very worried about the burn-inwhat is stopping me from having my phone at full brightness. 1
@

@homeleung5788 years ago Actually amoled is brighter than lcd. However, this depends on the screen itself. I. E. S7 has the brightest screen on any phone nowadays, but 6p' s amoled is just so dim. 1
@

@Kruska_025 years ago You can turn any ips display look like amoled, you need to download app that can increase colorcontrast and saturation but apps like that usually need root.

@farisalfaris81208 years ago Thanx a lot for this nice useful comparison.
i have a brand new oppo r7 plus, with an amoled screen,
and i noticed something that is strange amoled screens are famous for their absolutely deep blacks, and this is the case with my amoled when streaming a video footage with deep black backgrounds from youtube, for example. But:
when downloading the same footage and saving it on the phone storage, and then viewing it, the blacks are no longer blacks, they become dark grey or even grey sometimes!
i wonder what is this strange behaviour of an amoled display!
it is not a defaulty device, but it seems that quality of samsung' s own units are way better than these which are made for other manufacturers!
can you help me understanding this pardox?
thanx in advance. ...Expand

@DKfir-re5ec7 years ago Hi friends.
i need your advice.
i' m doubt between 2 models:
2. Samsung galaxy s8 + - super amoled.
i' m watching a lot of movies in the phone.
i prefer vivid and clear display screen.
with nature color, sharp and clear.
what should i have to choose?
thanks in advance. ...Expand

@neverlandminnie34113 years ago People: we don' t want blue-ish, white-ish display. We want pure black
amoled: yes.
@

@jub8891last year Not all lcd screens are made equal either. 2
@

@anupsur132 years ago Well, i have used both the displays, apart from deep blacks on oled, i don' t see any major difference between an oled & an ips.
@

@bennybouken5 years ago Better picture = ips
better blacks = amoled
both actually produce better images, both have pros and cons.
i honestly prefer ips if you don' t want to end up with screen problems for both, at least turn off your phone screen when you' re not using it. ...Expand 2

@EllesGhost133 years ago My phones amoled. I just end up turning it to natural colour and dimmer settings
i cant tell the difference between my lcb tablet and phone

@lucilucian15125 years ago When i play video on youtube, or a movie, the amoled screen on samsung is too dark, colors are good, but i don' t like amoled. 3
@

@mohdrafie73763 years ago It' s because the pixel on amoled totally off on black image while lcd pixel stay on even in black image.

@ImranPangilinan8 years ago I had 2 asus zenfonea which died on me. The first was zen6 the second zenfone 2 1080ips lcd. Crap quality from asus. Then i went back with samsung after 4 years away from them. Instantly blown away by samoled and quality. 3

@idkwuisp76266 years ago My dad bought a 200 samsung tablet with a regular lcd/tft screen and only then did i realise how much better amoled is.
@

@alpzepta3 years ago Let me tell you that im shock that even the galaxy j3 have amoled and they are under $100. Maybe amoled should be use on every cheap monitor and tv instead of crappy led display.

@lavderim775 years ago Amoled is better even for eyes protection.

@bign16673 years ago Amoled = disposable screen burn/ghosting so you buy a new phone by design within a matter of months not years. 1
