I've seen many Youtube Note videos with max brightness (some about e-reading), but almost none with the lowest brightness setting.
So, what do you think of reading at night with the Note, with low or no exterior light? Are white letters on black blackground too bright that becomes unconfortable?
What is your experience with apps like screen filter?
Those who come from HTC phones, do you find Note's screen more stressful to your eyes?
I've owned htc and sony phones and the Note's screen is very vibrant and great for night reading. Even on the low brightness in a dark room, you won't have trouble to read unless you have a bad eye sight.
Only people who are used to smaller screens or have pain in the eye will find the night usage painful for their sight. I use it every night before sleeping - no complains so far.
My fear is that Note will be too vibrant and brightfull and will strain my eyes.
For instance, I prefer reading at night with my HD2 than with my Asus Transformer, because it has a lower brightness level.
I don't know about you but I've also own a HD2 and I found the amoled screen very pleasant compare to every htc phones. The brightness can be toggle to suit you. But it's better that you test before in a shop if you are afraid.
There's an app called screen filter on market where you can lower the brightness until the letters are almost invisible. Great for night time reading!

I use it on my HD2, but I've read here that Note's screen doesn't deal well with it and the image becomes greyish

Yep, I find it easy to read at night but only with screen filter. Must have app.
It is pretty bright at night, even with white text on a black background, but no problem if you use Screen Filter or one of the other several similar apps to dim it further. I have toggles on my home screen for several different filter levels for different purposes. Also, I use the night-vision mode that comes with Chainfire3D to turn it to red text on a black background, for even better night time reading.
With Fbreader you can just change the color of the text to something closer to black and have night mode with the lowest brightness setting on. Voila! Very clear and easy to read in pitch dark.
.....
My experience is a little different to others in the thread.
I also come from using an HD2 and to me, reading at night is a weakness for the Note. Even with saturation and contrast adjusted, the pentile display really stands out to me when you're (a) in a dark room and (b) holding the Note quite close to your eyes.
Both these are true when I'm reading. It's not particularly uncomfortable but just a bit annoying.
Could you detail further the 'pentile experience'? You see pixels or 'grain'?
I've had lots of other phones and can with certainty say that I've never had a book reader as good as my beloved Note. Pentile or not.

I can see the separation between the pixels as I tend to hold it quite close on a low brightness when reading. It doesn't make it any more difficult to read, and of course the resolution outweighs that negative, but it just makes it look a little bit less perfect.
I am using Screendim application and it works much better than screen filter. There is Screendim trial just for three days.
Amoled screen cannot be made lower brightness than the default so it must be using contrast features to make it dimmer.
I have to say that reading is the primary reason why I bought the Note. I read a lot of ebooks. I find the Note to be a perfect size for reading at night in bed.
I have never found the brightness an issue... What u need is a good reading app. Thats what makes the difference.
I use Moon Reader Pro and epubeader (free on the Market and can also read .mobi). Both these programs have the ability to change the text color and background and brightness.
I find that black background with pale grey/blue text is the easiest to read while conserving most battery power.
For me, Note is amazing, and if talking about brightness, it can auto-adjust itself.
I agree with documents transformed to pure black backgrounds and maybe 10% black to white text color is perfect for the eye, so you can almost fall asleep while your phone saves battery.
For some reason ScreenFilter worked better on my S2 than it does on the Note. Using ScreenFilter just makes the picture look bad... washed out and difficult to read. I wish my Note could have lower brightness on the lowest setting.
Maybe Samsung doesn't want to go lower to avoid showing imperfections.

I find it better if you use the Voodoo screen tuning app - worth trying
Resource exists to calibrate the colors of the Moto X 2014 screen?
Leave the most accurate colors, such as white IPS Display. There is possibility? With which resource?
I thank for the help.
I am sure a future modified kernel will allow for color calibration.

Moto X never really got a whole lot of dev support like most Flagships so probably just no one cared to do it.
Sorry for reviving a thread, but I am quite interested in this subjust considering my screen has the yellow tint. I think out best hope is that faux already has a github branch opened for creating a kernel for our device which most likely will support screen calibration like his kernel for other devices, I also believe he has an app on the play store for doing so for devices that support it.
If you search for screen adjuster in the play store, you will see several apps that can adjust tint, white balance, etc. Not as good as if you were able to do at the kernel level, but...
Any developer interested in creating this resource?
The screen colors " Moto X " are horrible When I compare with other models: Galaxy S5, LG G2, Sony Z3 / Compact...

I use CF Lumen to fix the colors. Works pretty well. I adjusted the color temp so whites are actually white now.
But it is the same thing as a kernel with this feature?
Have you used Color Control in a Kernel on another smartphone? It works the same way with this CF Lumen application?

Wow. Good find! This is the ONLY app I have found that actually *decrease* RGB channel levels with respect to base levels. All other apps only increase levels. By increasing channels, you wind up removing those inky black on AMOLED screens. So, when your brightness levels increase, the blackness takes on the color of the increased color channel, which of course is bad.
I do question your method of removing the yellowish whites of the Moto X. The color temp adjuster slid all the way to the right at 6500 is essentially no filter at all, as its the default color temp. Moving it to the left warms up the white balance, but doesn't result in whiter whites. What I found to improve whiteness was to keep the white balance at 6500, but in the color channels, reduce both RED and GREEN channels to 0.949 and 0.937, respectively. I just keep these settings around the clock and don't make use of all the other filters.
So, this is the only app that I've found where you can maintain your inky blacks while actually *raising* the color temp, or at least raise BLUE levels with respect to the other 2 channels.

I misspoke, I didn't mean color temp. I adjusted the master filter, decreased red and green like you said you did. And same here, that setting stays permanently without anything else. It makes a HUGE difference, my screen is gorgeous now. I'm glad you found as much success with it as I did
Thanks @_MetalHead_ for mentioning CF Lumen. This works so much better than Screen Adjuster Pro (I had been using that until now).

Try CF Lumen. It works wonders.
CF.Lumen has the nasty habit of applying its filters twice when rotating the phone and on the recent-apps screen. So if I calibrate my screen to look just nice, I get a blue tint on those occasions. So I'm constantly reminded of this workaround solution.
I'd rather stick with the yellow tint, trying to get used to it and still hope for a custom kernel to adjust the colors on hardware level. But it looks like nobody is interested in developing for the Moto X 2014... :crying:

It's not an issue, it's just how the app works.
Chainfire himself confirms it in his thread about CF.Lumen:

It might be less noticeable if your filter settings are very low.
Everybody talks about removing the yellow tint, but what about toning down the saturation? I find it ridiculously fake, the google music app and tapatalk app look so cartoony with the stock saturation, could I tone it down with cf lumen?
If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the LG V10's display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Mine is generally not too bluish as other display floor models even under daylight (5000-6500 Kelvin).
Color is just right.
The screen is perfect, just have mine set up like this for a little bit of more contrast.

I just bought this phone Saturday and I love the whole big screen and 2nd screen but one question is making me doubtful about it. the images are so pixel or some what very contrast that it makes it look very contrast and some kind of blurriness not sharp. Can you help me with this.

Search for "screen color adjustment" in settings.
I like how natural the images are, they're not over saturated ... they appear sharp and natural.
Go to google playstore download display calibration its an excellent app it akes a huge difference at any brightness level also download v10 hidden settings another great app no root required for either v10 is an awesome device had mine just under a year no equal in the camera dept. And just as quick to load apps games etc as my wifes s7

Hello everyone ,i recently got a z3+ and i noticed that the black levels of the screen are pretty bad...coming from an oled display i was expecting some diffrence but not that bad...I watched some movies and in the dark scenes it is very difficult to see the picture ,everything looks the same and you cant really see the characters or the background ..its a mess especially in daylight conditions its almost unviewable.Cranking the brightness all the way up helps a lot -again in very good lighting enviroments/outside/daylight i cant see a thing in dark scenes- but then the black levels are too bad almost grey not black..
I also had a z1 compact which i dont think it was that bad, i'll try to test them side by side...
So i was wondering if a have faulty screen or something but i would like to hear your experience ...
Overall its nice screen bright with nice colours etc..but the black levels are a dissapointment in movies/videos..
Also i have disabled all screen enchanments (x-reality etc) and my white calibration is 178/162/37 RGB
Based on this review i was expecting more...
Blacks are pretty good in my opinion contrast ratio is brilliant for a ips. But this may come from you're eyes trained to a OLED screen. It's like my TV I have a lg OLED in the living room but a led in the bedroom and now I'm seeing grey instead of black :silly:

Here are some photos of my screen's blacks ...taken at 100% brightness in a 100% dark room ,all screen enchanments off, showing the same black level block picture in all 4 photos...i tried to adjust the camera exposure to make it look as close as what i was seeing ...as you can see it actualy can lit the desk under it and there is massive light bleed (if thats the correct term) out of the 4 corners in low viewing angles ,it actually creates a shape of X of light in a surface...Thats all please try it too to check out your results so as to know if i have problematic screen...
Does anyone else feel like there's a haze/fog over the screen when the brightness is around 20% or lower?
This seems to be more noticeable on grey backgrounds. White and pure black seem perfectly fine to the eye
It's hard to try and explain?
Could it be the same issue that*plagued the 4 when it originally came out. Gamma/software calibration*needed*possibly?
It seems fairly uniform too, which makes me think gamma issue rather than panel/HW issue?
Has anyone else noticed the same?
yes, i see the same!
Yeah, we discussed a similar behavior in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-5/help/colours-bit-off-everything-bit-beige-t4179867
For me I do see this "fog" brownish tint in every brightness situation....

Not the same thing. You're on about color profiles in that thread. This is more like a contrast issue at lower brightness levels
Well... than i have both... there’s fog with loss of contrast and there is a „warm“ color calibration.
My P3 shows black areas where the P5 is grey. Plus, white is minimal brownish so i loose contrast.
I come from a Pixel 2 XL with the black crush. In terms of contrast at low brightness levels, the Pixel 5 is far superior.
Undecided whether to keep it or not.
Grey's look really weird compared to my S10e. Nice and dark on the S10 and really light/pale on the Pixel?
Here's a capture of screen uniformity too
