Iphone 5's 40% better color saturation..

[Gathomblipoob]

My display definitely started off with a yellowish white and now is more bluish white. Pretty close to the clarity and depth as my iPad 3 now.

Still not as bright white as my 4s.

The screen on my iPhone 5 is really white. I love it. The colors really pop compared to those on my 4S.

Mine measures as it looks, a bit pissy yellow/green. Doesn't really matter if it's technically better if whites are cream and flesh tones look sickly.

Edit: This is after a few week's use and having left a full brightness white screen for 6 hours just to make sure any glue curing myths aren't true.

This was sent to Wasteland but is actually a useful thread regarding the defective yellow screens that invariably pop up at every release. I'd suggest getting it exchanged if it doesn't look like the display units.

Sorry. Selling my 4S in about an hour to a buyer on Craigslist and it's boxed up in setup mode. I can provide pictures of it all boxed up if you'd like.

Use it for calibrating TV's as part of my job - I'm aware the meter itself can slip over time but it backs up what I'm seeing on the screen and TV's I've calibrated with it look natural with all material so I'd say it's ok. The iPhone 4 (which I haven't measured) does look a bit strong on blue whites so the comparison is made more extreme but people generally prefer over-clean whites to yellow ones. The 4 looks far more neutral and natural with skin tones by eye.

Thanks, just need to figure out the best procedure as I upgraded online direct from carrier so have to see if they accept it as something I could exchange on - and then have to hope I get a "good one". I'd imagine it's possibly LG screens as my LG plasma displayed a very similar tint until I calibrated it - sadly Apple don't give us colour management options and I'm reluctant to jailbreak just for that.


Edit: Quote fail but nevermind...

Politics are nothing more than subjective opinions and arguments for and against global warming are usually based on junk science. Color and saturation analyses are objective and mechanistic. The only question is whether DisplayMate tested enough samples (should be at least n=3) to make the analysis representative of each make and model.

A stretch. Consider sound analysis. Graphs are created showing technical merits of a sound device that would indicate one device sounding superior to another. But is it? It depends upon what sits between the listener's ears. So it is with the company you link to in order to buttress your opinion.

Ioxides is such a glass half empty kinda guy. I notice how he manages to bring negativity to most of the threads he posts in. Even ones that had no negativity to begin with.

As I browse through topics on here I know it's only a matter of time until I come across his angry red avatar and sniping comments. I usually just chuckle to myself and scroll on. He's just so predictable

Not at all and a very bad comparison. That makes no sense when related to displays.

Any audiophiles (especially car audiophiles) know that a perfectly tuned equalizer usually makes for a crappy sound system in an irregular confined space like a car and you have to tune by ear. This is quite different from a perfectly calibrated display which isn't subject to the confines of a space that sounds do.
