It is a nice display. I wouldn't say it stands out as better than the iPhone 7 Plus I had previously.
It does the job well, so did the screen on the 7.
I'd say in everyday use, there is no real difference to people.
Got a tip for us?

OLED TV is worth it even more, only except could be if you watch TV often in very very bright settings, LCD could then have the slight edge. But if you primarily watch in cosy lighting settings then there is simply no competition for OLED...And don't be fooled by Samsung with its cheap marketing ploy, QLED is currently simply LCD tv. The actual QLED technology isn't ready for consumer use for a very long time, yet Samsung cheapened the reference by applying it to its LCD tvs...
Okay, so following up on my trip to the Apple store. Long story short, the replacement unit had a slightly less yellow tint to it but had worse brightness uniformity (top half was dimmer) than my current one. The top left notch also had a nasty pink tint when viewed off angle. I asked for another unit but was refused so I guess I’ll have to live with my current unit.
When I showed my screen to the Genius staff, she agreed it was “slightly yellow” but told me that OLED panels have more variation across the board and that it’s supposed to be normal. Least to say I am disappointed by their service because there were clearly much better panels on the demo units in store. I’m still a non-believer on OLED screens for color accuracy.

No way I’d buy Samsung QLED. I would buy Sony over Samsung any day. I will wait a while until Sony has more OLED models and at a more affordable price. Last year I bought Sony’s top 4K HDR model which should keep me happy for few years.
Haha, what?
They really had the balls to admit that there is a problem and that there are iPhone X without the problem, but you can f*ck off anyway?
That's brutal. I definitely wouldn't accept that.
I've seen posts on avforums from consumers where they use the consumer laws to their advantage and even after 15 OLED TVs they aren't happy. Not saying it is the case for the OP, but sometimes it just isn't for someone. My standards a clearly lower as weirdly my Plasma was a keeper, as was my next Plasma, as was my OLED tv, and as is my X....I did return my Samsung Galaxy once, but didn't want another one.
Yes, but I couldn’t be bothered wasting my breath arguing with them any further since they’ve already made up their mind on the matter and kept insisting it was “normal” or they couldn’t see what was wrong with the display. Based on my experience, I’m sure I’m not the only one who was refused a proper replacement unit.
I agree auto has some ... issues. My roommate turned it off as it sometimes did strange things.
Mfg to spec. Chuckle. Having seen the specs there are options on the Apple version which ... wonder why they went that route. Their choice. Either way, I was expecting better from the X based on all the hype. The notch, the wide corner rounding, the type of OLED screen. Enjoy if you like it. I didn't care for it.
Black's disappear against the bezel. You cant see 'lit' black screen borders in letter box which is really lovely. It's leagues better in sunlight. Bright AF. My only nit pick would be the off axis color temperature shifts which you adjust too. I'm also a chronic cluster head ache sufferer and haven't had any problems with the X (and I did with the LCD models which is contrary to most reports).
I am not sold on the OLED panel, to be honest I think some peoples eye sight might be more susceptible to the colour shifts than others, that's the only logical explanation I can come up with. I notice colour shifts at very slight angles and find it very distracting when using the device. I agree the blacks are nicer on OLEDS but the reality is the majority of web pages and social media apps I use have white backgrounds so I find the pros of OLED out weighed by the cons (colour shifts).
I have compared my X to lots of shop units now and they are all the pretty much the same to me, so again I come to the conclusion it must be some of us are more affected by this than others. Maybe this is why some Apple stores cant see what some of are complaining about maybe ?? With this in mind I see little point in trying for an exchange as I will probably never be happy but will just try and sell the device on.
If rumours are true and and a cheaper version of the X is coming with an LCD display I will get one of those as I really liked the way the X worked.
