Again, if the issue had been that easy to see, why is no one complaining about it and why doesn't i see that on my Galaxy S6 edge+?

Heck, i didn't even see that kind of things on the demo model of the Note7 i was testing out yesterday at a phone store. So i don't see the problem.

Not only that, but if that issue you are showing actually had been a real issue, don't you think way more peoples would have complained about it?

But then ask yourself, why is so few peoples complaining about it?

Because they don't see anything of what you are showing anywhere.


Again, a demo model is a demo model. They are usually abused way more than what the devices for the normal users are. So it's much easier to come across screen or other issues because of that.


DisplayMate is not wrong. They know EXACTLY what they are doing. They are professional within screen calibration market like they have been for decades, so i doubt that they don't know what they are doing. DisplayMate or no other reviewers that tests out the Samsung smartphones with a Super AMOLED screen are seeing anything of the issues you are describing.


I use the Gear VR on a daily basis and everything there are really sharp and clear. The only issue is that the 1440p resolution is a bit low for VR. We have to get to 4k screens (from smartphones) before the Gear VR will be really great.


Nope. I stand by the real life facts that everyone is saying and showing in tons of reviews while you stand by a broken demo model of a phone as a reference.

You don't even cares about what all of the other reviews are saying, just because you found a Galaxy S7 / Note7 or whatever with a somewhat broken display and thinks that this is how real life is about those phones.

It's not hard to see who are right and wrong here.


Again, Apple does way to little to fix the issues at Foxconn like i have said and what my sources are saying to. Apple says they are looking into those issues, but the reality shows that pretty much nothing gets changed in the end which are the whole point and which are the problem.

Samsung and Microsoft and others are using Foxconn to, but they doesn't even comes remotely close to use Foxconn as much as Apple does. And because Apple is Foxconn's biggest contractor, then Apple is the one who have the most responsibility fix the issues there. Not only that, but i have never hard that the workers who make Samsung's products or Microsoft's products at Foxconn are underpaid. Have you?


Luckily, there are 1 million other things on a smartphone today that are as much important as the speed on a phone is today. Yeah, Samsung's phones lacks the speed of the iPhones, but what about the other gazzillion things the iPhones lacks over the Samsung smartphones?

That isn't important, or?


I have never denied that and i have never been talking about sapphire as i was originally talking about scratches on a plastic home button. So not sure why you did bring that up into that discussion.


You are wrong here. Everyone who uses an Android phone with the Google services gets 95% of the security fixes via the Google Play-services. The rest of the fixes is something that comes with an Android update which usually are the most critical security holes. So i would say that most gets the security fixes on Android.


Again, the Super AMOLED screens doesn't flicker.

Do you even know what PWM is and what it's meant for?

And did you know that Super AMOLED screens have the double of Hz than what the LCD screens have?

LCD screens have 120 Hz while Super AMOLED have 240 Hz. So i doubt Super AMOLED screens are flickering. Or why isn't the Super AMOLED screen here flickering here?:

Or why isn't the screen on the Galaxy S6 edge+ here flickering as it have an older screen?



Oh, because they don't flicker. It's just how the camera is video recording that is making that visible like i have said multiple times already. But you won't even listen to that.

So stop with the flickering nonsense.


The thing that they 'ARE TRYING' is just something they say to please their shareholders and investors. Like the sources i have shown you, pretty much nothing have been changed in the end. Yeah, you can say that might be trying, but a company with that much cash is able to solve anything if they actually cares about fixing their ***** over caring over their profits. That's a fact.


Nope, i'm just laughing my ass off that Apple is ripping you all off while they are doing mass tax avoidance in Ireland while they later sits and boast about how much money they have and so on while their blind customers thinks that's good.


Yes, Samsung makes a hell of a lot more products than just smartphones, tablets and computers. Samsung have been in the business way longer than Apple have been and Apple doesn't have as much experience in making good products as Samsung does, because what Apple does is to put together a product from using other brands stuffs. So a Samsung phone that is entirely made from only Samsung parts, are way better than just using different parts from different brands and then gets put together by uneducated slaves at Foxconn.


I would like to see some sources on your claims. Samsung as a brand between all of it's divisions is making way more money than Apple does. Apple only makes more money than what Samsung Electronics Inc (who makes the smartphones and tablets ansd such) is making. So i doubt that Samsung only makes 1 billion dollars out of building ships.


Let me tell you something that you might not be aware of. I have an uncle who was working on the worlds biggest tank boat back in the 80's. As he was working on a tanker, he was exposed to alot of chemicals through the years. That ended up by him getting sick because of it and he still have issues today because of it.

And this happened in Norway on a Norwegian company. It happens all the time. I'am saying it's ok that this is happening?

No, ofc not. But things like this is unavoidable to not get affected by this. That's life.


When you considers that Samsung have like 450.000 employees worldwide today, it's nothing new that cases like this can happen from time to time. There will always be incidents like those that will happen all the time, because things like this are unavoidable and it's something that will happen for a company with that many employees. Find me one company that haven't had a single reported incident through their lifetime.

You wont find any.


Again, Apple is the biggest contractor to Foxconn, so because of that, they have more responsibility for the working conditions over what the other smaller contractor have. Ofc the smaller contractors will have some responsibility to, but Apple is the big fish in the room and have most of the responsibility. That's how it is.
Seems like mostly denial. Denial of a documented proof. Denial about apples top notch ability to create a superior product. Denial that Apple has in fact movers the goal posts in offshore manufacturing conditions. Denial that Samsung has been accused of human rights violations and that they use Foxconn themselves. Denial is not just a river in Egypt as they say.

Was that all you could come up with as a counter argument?

Wow.
 
I only summarized what seems to be apparent in the post.
I gave good arguments against what he said and i gave proof that he's talking nonsense about the flickering thing on the Super AMOLED screens for example.

How much more proof do you need to see that alot of what he says are nonsense?

The alignments (PWM) is not an issue on Super AMOLED screens because the normal eyes don't see that. It's only some video cameras that are able to see it. So my points stands. He made it to look like the Super AMOLED screen was flickering for everybody and was visible for us, while it's not.

And the fact that Samsung uses Foxconn is something i have openly stated several times to be true. But you are also to stubborn to actually read what i'm saying. What i was saying is that Samsung is not even remotely close to use Foxconn in the same insane amount Apple does. Therefor Apple have a much much higher responsibility to take care of the working conditions there over what Samsung and others do.

That was my points you didn't seems to grasp.

You're splitting hairs, either there is misalignment or not. Either Samsung uses Foxconn or not. Apple has stepped up to the plate, has Samsung?
 
Samsung Delays Galaxy Note 7 Shipments Over Quality Tests: It's likely investigating claims that the phone's battery may explode.

If you were planning to buy a Galaxy Note 7, you might not want to count on getting it quickly. Samsung tells Reuters that it's delaying shipments of its latest smartphone as it conducts "additional tests" to verify "product quality." It's not saying what it's worried about, but there have been reportsof the phone's battery exploding while it charges. Samsung might be checking to see whether or not the battery fires are the result of systemic flaws, or just a handful of isolated incidents.

The company hasn't said how long the delay will last. However, it could hurt Samsung's bottom line if it's substantial. The Galaxy Note 7 was already hard to find on store shelves due to demand, according to Samsung. Delays would only make those shortages worse, and increase the chances that frustrated customers will take their business elsewhere.

Again, you are talking about something that doesn't matter for the users. Come back when you actually have something to report on that affects the users in real life.

Yeah, omg, we can see the infrared signal via the camera while we can't see it in real life. OMG OMG, such horror.

And yes, Samsung uses Foxconn to, but again, that's not the point. The point is on how much you are using Foxconn that matters. And yes, Apple has done "something" with the situation at Foxconn, but like i also have given sources / proofs on earlier, they have done way to little to actually improve the working condictions there. And it seems that they gives a good damn rat ass about improving anything about it anymore.

Want the proofs again just so you can get that into your head?

I'm not denying that the Galaxy Note7 have some issues that needs to be fixed. But this might be a very rare case where that have happened where it might not matter at all for the users. Yes, in the exact same way as it's most likely a rare case when an iPhone just catches fire or explodes sometimes to according to the iPhone fans.

You brought up the point about working conditions and now who is deflecting.?

How do you know anything about what matters to users except those that you know or post here otherwise?

Yes, i took up the working conditions as Apple is the biggest contractor to Foxconn. As they are the one who uses them most, then Apple have the biggest responsibility to make sure that the workers who works for Apple is having a good working conditions and not getting paid as slaves.

But again, Apple doesn't seem to be willing to improve the situation at Foxconn, because PROFITS.

From what more detailed reports have been coming out, it looks like the two reported cases, the phones were reportedly being charged with cheap USB cables at the time they exploded.

http://www.ubergizmo.com/2016/08/another-note-7-explodes-charging/

But it's still wise for Samsung to verify there isn't a product defect before shipping any more units.

This reminds me of issues caused by using "unofficial" lightening cables with iPhones.
Cheap USB C cables can cause serious damage to a device.

The point is still that Apple have the most reponsibility because of the amount of workers they are using from Foxconn. And as i have proven several times already, Apple does little to nothing to improve the situation at Foxconn, because they cares more about the profits, which again is what i'm talking about.

Samsung doesn't use Foxconn in the amount that they have much responsibility to fix much at Foxconn. Ofc they have the responsibility over the workers who works to put together Samsung producs, but i haven't heard any complains about those workers anyways. Have you?

Let me tell you something that you might not be aware of. I have an uncle who was working on the worlds biggest tank boat back in the 80's. As he was working on a tanker, he was exposed to alot of chemicals through the years. That ended up by him getting sick because of it and he still have issues today because of it.

And this happened in Norway on a Norwegian company. It happens all the time. I'am saying it's ok that this is happening?

No, ofc not. But things like this is unavoidable to not get affected by this. That's life.

Ofc the smaller contractors will have some responsibility to, but Apple is the big fish in the room and have most of the responsibility. That's how it is.

This is getting a little long in the tooth... I'll make it short.

I'm sorry to hear your about your uncle's situation. I hope he got compensation. I hate to use him as an example, but I do hope he got compensation... Yes, **** happens. Yes. But problem is, what Samsung did to their own employees is like your uncle getting DENIED compensation. Furthermore, they'd treat their employees with disrespect and shaming them for trying to get compensation and BULLY/BRIBE them to keep quiet. Think how many cases has been bribed and kept quiet??? And this is only from 1 plant. Read the articles again. Proof. Not assumptions without links/proof and just going by your biased knowledge. For example, how do you know Foxconn's biggest customer is Apple? And if they are, what percentage are they and who is the runner up I'm using their services??? Links pls, just like I give you links to my proofs (that you negate anyways, but that's a different topic).again, links pls.

And again, Apple is "lifting a finger" to change the human rights issues there... Didn't you say that they weren't? You can acknowledged it at least. Just like you acknowledged my proof on the Pixel hang. Which btw, I along with many- value sharp screens and can see the pixel hang like a sore thumb. It's there and how do you know there's no complaints?

Oh, I'm still waiting for your response on the differences between the Apple/Foxconn human rights vs Samsung and how they are denying their own employees sick compensation (compare that to what your uncle went thru)
Pls answer:
AND FINALLY, while Apple has many issues regarding human rights in China, and are TRYING to work things out (with their VENDORS-contractors) like the OVERTIME/underpaid story you've sent me...
It is STILL better in comparison to what Samsung is doing with THEIR OWN EMPLOYEES (not Vendor-contractors) and then trying to BRIBE the deceased employee's father to keep quiet and out of the press (just one of the many cases).

You see a difference? Hello? Mcfly?

You see, both are bad... But one is about OVERTIME and not paid enough and the other is about denying sick employee claims and then Bribing! Wtf--- hate toward Samsung is warranted.
Yet, you're just mad that Apple is making lots of $$ and knows how to negotiate as a business.


Please note and reply.



Then...

Let me prove it by proving the Flicker issue with many ppl since the Note4 has complained. You are familiar with the XDA Developers forum: very smart ppl that help each other with complex issues/ tech knowledge etc. You know them very well.

Here is proof
And btw, I already told you that I was the one that posted PWM meaning and what it does ORIGINALLY in an earlier post. Need me to cut and paste?

this is not normal
I have already written it many times. how do you read the topic?

of course, eyes don't see it, but such damping is harmful (wrote above), even in the review its written .

Quote:
When there is a total damping to zero it is harmful to the eyes. In the long reading on the average and low brightness appears eye fatigue. Over time can be reduced eyesight. Perhaps there is an impact on the brain and psyche.

Unfortunately I can also see my Note 4's PWM at work. It is most visible in the dark, and it often plays havoc with the framerate of movies. To those of you saying this is an aberration that can only be seen in videos, you should consider that this also applies in reverse—to videos displayed on the screen. As a test, play a feature film and skip to the end. Watch the white credit text scroll on a black background and see if you notice it. Then flip your phone around, point it at a surface, and watch what happens with the ambient light. It's noticeable. If your eyes are sensitive enough you will be painfully aware of this any time the camera slowly pans across a scene.

At 240hz the flickering rate may seem to you to be "too fast to see" but the bigger problem at hand is not the speed, it's the magnitude. This screen drops the brightness in every cycle significantly enough to be noticed. The fact that this is visible even at 100% brightness (where PWM shouldn't be used at all) speaks to an engineering oversight. My hope is that this is something that can be tempered by a software update or tweak. Even still, I'm genuinely considering returning my Note 4 because of it. What's the point of this gorgeous display if it makes watching media on it sickening?



Btw,
I specifically chose a small group of the above posters: they are a good sample group that matches you and your buddies.
And before you say that your personal anecdotes are factual because it is what you see... Over here, in this forum, you are no different than that of a guy on the net. Just like the above posters on XDA.
HELLO

Also, you can keep up your negative approach to the conversation all you like... I'm only doing this and continuing to reply just solely to demonstrate how android lovers arguments are: baseless, naive, opinions. And you know what they say about opinions eh? They are just like ar$eholes...Everybody's got one:)

And doesn't look like we've gotten anywhere.
You are still holding onto your opinions and personal findings... I'll leave it at that. Not a big deal.

But as I promised in the prev quote, here's some proof that Amoled is not all that.
I took the time to take some pics of a new s7 and note7 when I was at Costco and here they are, labeled.
I call the issue "pixel hang"... The printing industry will call it "miss-registration".

Pls look at them with an open mind. And let me know if you can see/understand what I'm referring to.

The Google search bar I always refer to:
Look at the pixel hang/miss-registration
ILmNaR.png


Pictures taken with my iPhone with a macro lens...
p8jcX8.png


Do you see the pixel hang/ miss-registration?
pKcphw.png


This pixel hang is apparent on ALL hard edges, on ALL displays using the "sub-pixel". Pentile or Diamond pattern amoleds BOTH have it because of the SUBPIXEL.
PsO7vL.png


Below is an example of "colour registration" they in talking about.
aiAhw9.jpg


Then, here's the iPhone's regular Rgb IPS lcd close-up... Notice NO pixel hang/miss-registration.
6C6Z65.jpg


Because the ips lcd displays DONT use the SUBPIXEL arrangement, there's NO pixel hang... Here's the same pic zoomed in: absolutely sharp, great looking edges.
jUZJRT.png


Next photo is of the LG G4's IPS display.
hBMQtX.jpg



As you can see in the Amoled screen close ups, the pixel hang is very apparent.
Without the macro lens, you can still see it. I can see it, can you? You have an S6 - look at the hard edges, and you will see what Samsung has been feeding people.
OrqcQ3.jpg


Now pls keep in mind, I know that Amoled screens have advantages like HDR capability because of its high contrast/Colour gamut, infinite blacks, etc
But this is a disadvantage I cannot overlook. I've always noticed it since the Gs3 and Gs5,6,7 have gotten better because of the higher res... But still noticeable. Sorry to burst your bubble... This will not work for VR: having the screen 2" from your eyes.
..
I hope that when the Amoled screen is implemented into the iPhone, they find a way to NOT use a SUBPIXEL design.

Anyways,
Displaymate does have good reviews, measurements, and factual figures- yes, BUT This is an important issue (plus screen flicker) that Displaymate has forgotten to note in their reviews, therefore, their conclusion may not be accurate.
I know that you trust your sources and believe my sources to be exaggerations and shills... We already went through that. I've accepted it.


I removed all of the pictures so the quote doesn't get so big.
I'm glad you see it too... Now that you see it, you can't un-see it, and I apologize for that. I once loved my Bose audio system too... Until someone showed me what a real system should sound like.
As for "microscope" comment, you can blatantly see it even NOT using any macro lens:

This pic is NOT taken with macro lens. Look at the Google search bar. It simply looks out of focus.
Is it hard to see... And , most ppl won't notice... But aren't displaymate "experts" and we- self proclaimed pros and Connoisseur
Of the So called Best Screen On the market?
Even my iPhone camera can see it!


And as for the "demo model" ... It's a Note7. How long you think that has been on display for? The subpixel miss-registration DOESNT get worse with time. It is an inherent problem with the base design: subpixel (diamond or whatever pattern) is flawed. I'm sorry, pls stop making excuses for Samsung and rationalizing.



I know it's not an issue for displaymate... They are wrong. Thanks, I know I'm entitled to my opinions too.

But really, this just illustrates that amoled "high pixel count" is just SPEC garbage that because it uses a Subpixel arrangement, the sharpness is mitigated and you get a blurry , mess: ESPECIALLY in VR situations.
This subpixel Cheat (yes, the amoled screens' advertised pixel count is a lie) is not what displaymate claims as BEST. Does this look like "best" sharpness to you???


And in my eyes, you represent a real world sheep that is herded by Google's 80% android sheep-share.

You know, I was willing to stop beating a dead horse.........

I will NEVER contest that the working conditions at Foxconn-pegatron or MOST of the other gigantic factories in China are horrible, unconstitutional, unliveable, and the workers are grossly underpaid.
and Apple cares about profits... BUT I stand by my point that APPLE DOES "lift a finger"(refer to nyt article) to at least TRY to fix and control those issues by mandating their suppliers abide by their human rights rules.
I hope you do know that Foxconn and their sister company Pegatron are NOT owned by Apple and NO, Apple doesn't pay the workers at Foxx/Pegatron directly. But your tone really proves that you are misunderstanding the situation there. We can go deeper if you like... But question is, HOW do you know and do you have PROOF that Samsung or Microsoft (which uses Foxx/Pegatron too) are "PAYING" those employees LESS? Hello?

Here's the thing, everything is relative *** nothing is perfect, but we can compare things, products to get a greater Perspective.

-the 10month old iPhone 6s is FASTER in real world performance than a brand new Samsung flagship.

-Sapphire is stronger than Plastic. Fact

-iOS has vulnerabilities BUT get fixed and patched - and EVERYONE gets the patches.Yet Android hacks are indeed InTHEwild. proven in the millions, and a small percentage only get the patches.

-iPhone screens may be less saturated, less bright, less contrast, but are proven to be reliable and supersharp... Which many still prefer over the Flickering, less durable, miss-registered-hang mess that is the Subpixel Amoled.

-AND FINALLY, while Apple has many issues regarding human rights in China, and are TRYING to work things out (with their VENDORS-contractors) like the OVERTIME/underpaid story you've sent me...
It is STILL better in comparison to what Samsung is doing with THEIR OWN EMPLOYEES (not Vendor-contractors) and then trying to BRIBE the deceased employee's father to keep quiet and out of the press (just one of the many cases).

You see a difference? Hello? Mcfly?

You see, both are bad... But one is about OVERTIME and not paid enough and the other is about denying sick employee claims and then Bribing! Wtf--- hate toward Samsung is warranted.
Yet, you're just mad that Apple is making lots of $$ and knows how to negotiate as a business.

And then you're trying to tell me to change my mind because Samsung makes Way more products like Skyscrapers and Warships and what? tvs microwaves dishwashers and washers (that catch fire,btw)?

Let me ask you... How much do you think Samsung made in profits building ships ??? I'll tell you: under $1B. Yawn... Who cares... Google makes war robots with Boston Dynamics amd it's just a sham to cover up the fact that they only make $ by datamining and leeching off suckers that freely fork over their info/privacy to save $few $ on their smartphones- wake up man.

Here. Read this.

And STILL AN ISSUE TODAY:
http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/nation/2016/08/10/88504582/


"
“The social mood is changing in Korea, and I think Samsung sensed that,” said Kim Sang-jo, an economist at Hansung University who specializes in the conglomerate. “The [rare diseases] had become a symbolic problem for Samsung. It was starting to be seen as a very arrogant and stubborn company.”


Concern about Samsung’s factory conditions first surfaced seven years ago, when two former employees who had worked side by side, Hwang Yu-mi and Lee Suk-yeong, died of leukemia within months of each other. Hwang was 23, and her father, a taxi driver, felt the deaths couldn’t be a coincidence.

In the years since, about 200 other people have claimed sicknesses from Samsung production lines, mostly from the Giheung plant 20 miles south of Seoul, which manufactures semiconductors and liquid crystal displays."

Ok, again, under your logic, these or people, making lcd displays are probably making them for Apple because Apple uses LCD... So they SHOULD BE SUING APPLE and not their employer Samsung,,, just like how Foxconn employee issues are APPles responsibility too!!! Wow Eh? Relative and perspective. Thank you.
That very same manufacturer is making the display for the iPhone 8.Good luck

Anyways I trust the professionals at Dsiplaymate better
 
This is getting a little long in the tooth... I'll make it short.

I'm sorry to hear your about your uncle's situation. I hope he got compensation. I hate to use him as an example, but I do hope he got compensation... Yes, **** happens. Yes. But problem is, what Samsung did to their own employees is like your uncle getting DENIED compensation. Furthermore, they'd treat their employees with disrespect and shaming them for trying to get compensation and BULLY/BRIBE them to keep quiet. Think how many cases has been bribed and kept quiet??? And this is only from 1 plant. Read the articles again. Proof. Not assumptions without links/proof and just going by your biased knowledge. For example, how do you know Foxconn's biggest customer is Apple? And if they are, what percentage are they and who is the runner up I'm using their services??? Links pls, just like I give you links to my proofs (that you negate anyways, but that's a different topic).again, links pls.

And again, Apple is "lifting a finger" to change the human rights issues there... Didn't you say that they weren't? You can acknowledged it at least. Just like you acknowledged my proof on the Pixel hang. Which btw, I along with many- value sharp screens and can see the pixel hang like a sore thumb. It's there and how do you know there's no complaints?

Oh, I'm still waiting for your response on the differences between the Apple/Foxconn human rights vs Samsung and how they are denying their own employees sick compensation (compare that to what your uncle went thru)
Pls answer:

Please note and reply.



Then...

Let me prove it by proving the Flicker issue with many ppl since the Note4 has complained. You are familiar with the XDA Developers forum: very smart ppl that help each other with complex issues/ tech knowledge etc. You know them very well.

Here is proof
And btw, I already told you that I was the one that posted PWM meaning and what it does ORIGINALLY in an earlier post. Need me to cut and paste?

why such is no in other smartphone?
bacause in samsung pwm brightness damped to zero and is returned back 240 times per second.
this is not normal
I have already written it many times. how do you read the topic?

Quote:
of course, eyes don't see it, but such damping is harmful (wrote above), even in the review its written .

Quote:
When there is a total damping to zero it is harmful to the eyes. In the long reading on the average and low brightness appears eye fatigue. Over time can be reduced eyesight. Perhaps there is an impact on the brain and psyche.

Unfortunately I can also see my Note 4's PWM at work. It is most visible in the dark, and it often plays havoc with the framerate of movies. To those of you saying this is an aberration that can only be seen in videos, you should consider that this also applies in reverse—to videos displayed on the screen. As a test, play a feature film and skip to the end. Watch the white credit text scroll on a black background and see if you notice it. Then flip your phone around, point it at a surface, and watch what happens with the ambient light. It's noticeable. If your eyes are sensitive enough you will be painfully aware of this any time the camera slowly pans across a scene.

At 240hz the flickering rate may seem to you to be "too fast to see" but the bigger problem at hand is not the speed, it's the magnitude. This screen drops the brightness in every cycle significantly enough to be noticed. The fact that this is visible even at 100% brightness (where PWM shouldn't be used at all) speaks to an engineering oversight. My hope is that this is something that can be tempered by a software update or tweak. Even still, I'm genuinely considering returning my Note 4 because of it. What's the point of this gorgeous display if it makes watching media on it sickening?



Btw,
I specifically chose a small group of the above posters: they are a good sample group that matches you and your buddies.
And before you say that your personal anecdotes are factual because it is what you see... Over here, in this forum, you are no different than that of a guy on the net. Just like the above posters on XDA.
HELLO

Also, you can keep up your negative approach to the conversation all you like... I'm only doing this and continuing to reply just solely to demonstrate how android lovers arguments are: baseless, naive, opinions. And you know what they say about opinions eh? They are just like ar$eholes...Everybody's got one:)
That very same manufacturer is making the display for the iPhone 8.Good luck

Anyways I trust the professionals at Dsiplaymate better

iPhone 8? OLED? Maybe
Maybe not... I'll trust the keynote in sept2017. Believe it when I see it.
I'm hoping that Foxconn's purchase of Sharp is an indication of really what's to come. Micro LED? We will see.

I'm not contesting Displaymate's measurements and conclusion that the Amoled screen on the note7 has SUPERIOR quality a like colour gamut, infinite blacks, etc.
However, their lack of reporting and focus on some of the (important) negatives is not doing anyone justice.
I know that many would say that the (1)flicker and (2)pixel miss-registration and (3)burn-in: is not noticeable, and minimal and "who cares"... But to some, it is important consideration like people with (1)chronic migraines, (2)perfect perfectionist's near-sighted vision, and (3)loves to play SteetFighter for hours at a time... Let me guess, those ppl don't matter because they are freaks and a small minority.

It is like buying an investment property in Hawaii. My Realtor gets the info from the Seller and sends you pics of the spectacular view, great the beautiful furnishings, perfect floor plan, great workmanship, good location ... And Great Deal! Take my $$$!!
ALL the positives,
The smart buyer would ask the right questions. And research the "too good to be true" details.>>> just to fly there and find that the back of the property is the City's Power Grid Hub. Can you tell yourself "no biggy, I just won't look out the back and pay no attention to the constant BUZZ noise"... Oops
Too good to be true.
Point is, some people's criteria and priorities are different for a home or a phone. We are all different, yes, so we as educated, smart consumers need to do due diligence and research. We count on the professionals (like your Realtor that is suppose to have your best interests in mind...) and their reviews to be both accurate and precise. Forgetting to state that the back of the property is the City Power Grid is not accurate, not precise and plain irresponsible..Same as not mentioning the important negatives of Amoled and then concluding that it is "best screen" -bs.

I don't care who you trust or not. None of my business. I know where I spend my money, and that is on what I believe is best, not what someone else says.

Also, in case you didn't know it, Samsung is not the worlds only oled manufacturers are some are working on product that has none of the disadvantages (burn-in, sub-pixel arrangement) of Samsung displays and the advantages of of other displays.

And if you ask a poor kid in South Africa he will say a Lumia 520 has the best display ever in his opinion.What matters is not opinions but lab tests.DisplayMate>Opinions

I bet if the iPhone had the best display on the planet (like the iPad currently does) you would be rubbing it in the face of Android fans on here

Also, in case you didn't know it, Samsung is not the worlds only oled manufacturers are some are working on product that has none of the disadvantages (burn-in, sub-pixel arrangement) of Samsung displays and the advantages of of other displays.

Apple chose Samsung as the prime supplier for the iPhone 8 OLED for a reason

The reason has nothing to do who produces the best display and you still don't know what they are manufacturing and if any other fab is involved. They also chose TMSC for a reason.

The rest of the post, just hyperbole.
 
That is not proof, you can only prove a mathematical theorem. Displaymate has a subjective opinion, nothing more than Zagat of the display world.
[doublepost=1472305407][/doublepost]

It's too bad not all Samsung devices released within a few months of one another are equal.


how is displaymate using opinions when they are using industry standard calibration hardware and software to test the screen? they are putting sensors on the screen on there testings.thdy are not just looking at it and saying yup this screen is the best calibrated screen ever tested they are backing it with industry standard calibration equipment.

There have been posts upon posts on this subject about the efficacy of displaymate. It's not different than COTY in road and track.
