****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

i'm all for the change...my point is the change is very minor and nothing like below:

amoled-samoled-plus-comparison.jpg


as the link shows pentile is hardly any different to Real-Stripe at normal view distance - text becomes illegible due to the size of text far earlier than the fuzzyness of pentile

It depends entirely what you are looking at, its only really an issue when it involves small text, its fine the rest of the time.

Also, your Desire is a normal LED, not SAMOLED, I think its more pronounced on a SAMOLED screen. I never noticed it on my Desire.

I hope its some kind of improvement at least, its very hard to tell from images such as those.
 
I've already made my point about small text...

also pentile is the same any any pentile - doesnt make a difference if it's amoled or Samoled.


Would be great if i had a SLCD desire so i could compare.

You also have to remember you have a 4.3 inch screen with 480x800 and a 3.5 on the iphone 4 with 640x960 so the difference is big in things being pin sharp,the I4's display really is a joy to use and doesn't suffer like the Desire HD with things looking washed out and poor viewing angles.

Well I'm guessing that Samsung are making the screens for these, and I was a little surprised that they haven't quite managed to outdo Apple in this department, but I guess that there is more to a screen than just resolution... I haven't seen an AMOLED screen yet myself, so I'll be interested to see if they live up to the hype.

The IP4 display is damn nice though, I wouldn't mind one myself... It's a shame my friend doesn't really like iPhones... I guess you say that iPhones are a bit like Marmite, you either love 'em or hate 'em. ;)
 
SAMOLED and the iP4 display are even to be honest, you can argue which is better all you like (as many people do :p) but both are very good, and both are better than LCD.

It depends entirely on what you use the phone for mainly as to which would benefit you more.

Exactly, sAMOLED+ just cranks it up a notch! Sharp text on a 4.3" OLED? Where do I sign :cool: I just hope they keep colour saturation in check on the production phones.

(and to be anal... the iP4's screen is a type of LCD :p)
 
I think Apple have got it patented or something to that effect. Apparently the Optimus 2X screen isn't that much different but its still not as good.
 
It's LGs own enhanced IPS technology from 2009. I think they've just got a bumper contract from Apple (it's used in most Apple products from iMacs to iPads) and they can't have many factories capable of producing high dpi panels yet.
The new NOVA display looks good though (what are the chances the iPhone 5 will have a "retina+" screen with 700nit brightness? :D)

I love the Retina display I have never seen things look so pin sharp, it is a shame these new phones don't crank the resolution up abit.

you know 'retina dispaly' is a made up term by apple dont you?

Its just a high resolution screen, but apple had to call it something different because high resolution would be to difficuilt for some of its customers to understand

:p
 
Of course I do but it's sweet such a high resolution for a smaller screen, no matter how small the text is it is still perfect.

It's like this FaceTime crap it's been on phones fir ages but they give it a fancy name.
 
Didn't even know MHL existed until I read that earlier, sounds like a decent idea (or will be once tv manufacturers start using it) as it could allow for charging the phone over the video cable, minor thing really but a bit neater than having an HDMI cable and potentially needing a charger cable as well :)

This, and the news on the Atrix' bootloader, reduces the differences between the SGS 2 and the Atrix which is always a 'good' thing :)
