Consumer Reports has been paid off by Apple yet once again:
We had Consumer Reports' in-house television expert Claudio Ciacci take a look at the iPhone X’s display, which employs the same OLED technology used in our top-rated TVs. To evaluate the screen’s performance, he compared it to the OLED displays on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and an LG V30.
“They have the same attributes we’ve grown to love in OLED TVs,” he says.
Using a series of images and test patterns, he confirmed that the iPhone X screen has rich, deep black levels; accurate colors; and incredibly wide viewing angles. The differences were striking when compared with the traditional LCD screen on the iPhone 8.
The iPhone X performed slightly better than the Note 8 and the V30. The X's screen was more accurate with colors and brighter, which brings out the highlights in photos.
“The images had a more vibrant presentation,” says Ciacci. “They popped more and the perceived detail was greater.”
