Especially after no rain for several weeks.I guess when you've been in the computer room down at the basement for so long, you forget that in real life, grass isn't really THAT green

Do you wish that your iPhone had a higher resolution screen?

You can tell that to the person who liked your post.When I gave him proof that the Galaxy S7 had the best phone display on the planet according to Displaymate he claimed it was just an opinion.I am merely using his logic
Well it has been claimed by some, it's a proven fact. There are several facts at play; gamut, resolution,screen technology etc are all facts. Which one "looks" better is subjective.
You guys don't have to take my word for it.Heres a screen grab from a YT video
As you can see the S2 STILL manages to win in display quality Even looking at this comparison on a LCD display shows the better image quality on tab s2.The difference is even greater in real life
Well yes if you actually believe that in the pics above you found the iPad to have a better display.
All i can see is terrible light bleed in the android tablet.
And here are some facts stated by Anandtech
"There's really not much else to say about the Tab S2 9.7's display. Samsung has really done a great job with calibrating the displays on recent AMOLED devices, and the Tab S2 9.7 offers a display that is just as good as any other tablet. One could argue that the true blacks actually put the Tab S2 9.7 ahead of the competition, and I would be inclined to agree. My only complaint is that the iPad Air 2 with its AR coating tends to be a bit more usable outside and in other scenarios where there are heavy reflections. There's really no way to conclude which tablet offers the absolute best display, but I think it would be correct to say that in most cases the Tab S2 9.7's display is as good, if not better than any other tablet on the market."
And here is its comparison to Air 2
The display on the Tab S2 9.7" is phenomenal. It's every bit as sharp as the iPad Air 2, every bit as accurate, and has the best black level and contrast ratio you'll find on any device. It did seem a bit more difficult to use in unforgiving lighting than the iPad Air 2 due to the differences in brightness and reflectiveness, but in most scenarios it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's the best tablet display that I've ever seen, and that's a huge win for Samsung.
So your statement thta in that pic,the iPad is more color accurate is false.
And as far as to your saturation comment being unrealistic ,this is what it states
"Saturation accuracy on the Tab S2 9.7 is phenomenal. It's better than every other tablet except for the Microsoft Surface 3, and at this point you would really be hard pressed to see errors in the rendering of pure primary and secondary colors"
And to prove my point that OLED is brighter and more vibrant,here is Anand's comparison.IS the pic "Adjusted" here too?

I think it's clear that we're talking about the iPad Pro 9.7 in this thread, not the Air 2. So your comparison quotes are not relevant.
This is what I keep saying, when the brightness is ratcheted down to a level my eyes can tolerate, there is no difference.
We were discussing the ipad pro 9.7, which from the original photo is nearly identical to the other tablet.
On the contrary at its lowest brightness,the S2 is less bright than the iPad.It just can get very bright if you want it to
The difference in display quality apart from Truetone between the Air 2 and the Pro is negligible in real life.I actually disabled Truetone because it made my iPad look yuckish
Even Ars technica agrees
"The screen dominates the experience while you’re using a tablet, so let’s talk about that first. Most improvements are hard to spot unless you're looking for them. The screen, for instance, is nice. But it’s only nice in ways that you’ll really notice if you’re a stickler for color accuracy or see an older and newer iPad side-by-side.For instance, the screen’s DCI P3 color gamut (a feature originally implemented in the most recent 4K and 5K iMacs) means it can display deeper and more accurate shades of green and red, but it’s not nearly as impactful"
