The screen is good for the price and I didn't really notice it's 1080p. Although I had 4 cause I had uneven tints. That's more of an oled lottery than oneplus

To be fair Samsung do the best screens so it will look better side by side with any other screen. I think the oneplus 5t will fair a little bettwr against it
Hi! In my opinion, the minimum brigthness is pretty much bright. I usually read in my bed and I have to use 3rd party apps like Twilight to decrease more the brigthness. I'd like it to be much darker. The maximum bright is perfect.
The minimum brightness is too bright in my opinion.
I have to use twilight in night

Auto brightness settings outdoor under Florida Sun. Using Motorola Nexus 6, I couldn't see what's on the screen, even bringing my hand up for a shadow. Using the LG G4 the screen would brighten and colors would wash out, making things very legible aka Notion Ink pixel qi screen. The v10 does it one better, clear legible, and colors still vibrant.
Yes, it's pretty readable outdoors even the brightness is 60%
surprisingly the brightness isn't bad. coming from a g3, im impressed
I don't know how anyone could ever give 5 stars on this ... except maybe ... and I mean maybe ... the Curve. Every phone has a reflective surface and outside, they're all hard to see unless you're in the shade. Same with this phone.

I own a Nexus 6 Motorola as well as a LG V10. The 6 can't be read in the full sun but the V10 can. Here in Thailand I have lot's of sun every day so I know what I am talking about. I would give 4.5 stars out of 5.

Perfectly fine in 12258 lux of sunlight.

Seems reasonable, not as bright as an S7 but it's not an AMOLED.
The screen is most definitely very very bright in bright sunlight on "auto" setting with slider to the max. I have no issues with the brightness outdoors. Make sure to keep the "auto" setting, there is a brightness boost built in with "auto". Also, do not use Power Saver feature (I am not taking about the Extreme Power Saver mode). The Power Saver will ruin the brightness in sunlight completely and thoroughly.
Compared the 10 with my Samsung S6 at noon in direct sunlight in Tucson, AZ on June 06. Couldn't see either for ****e.

Mine auto brightness is also huge step back comparing to previous One's. It is too bright in the evening or at night if my slider in auto mode is at about 75%.

Personally, I think max brightness on this phone isn't nearly bright enough. When I stop off at the Starbucks drive through in the morning and attempt to pay with my phone (pops a barcode on screen for the barista to scan) they always need to take my phone from me inside where it's a bit darker to scan. I have never had this issue with any other device, and never see any of the cars ahead of me having a similar issue. This is with auto brightness on and the slider all the way at max.
Remember that when you go outside, the sun is bright, you slip on your polarized sun glasses. Next time you look at the screen, it's dark.
Remember the screen is polarized as well, and not in the best orientation. Turn the phone horizontal, see if brighter again.

Yeah, I can relate. From all the recent phones I've tested, the 10 fares the worst in direct sunlight / bright day environment... Even so, the only time I find it really annoying is when I try to take photos or shoot video. I always feel that the screen is too dark or that the photos I take are too dark. When I look at them back home, on a large PC screen, I see that the photos are ok, well-lit...

Yeah the polarization was a completely gooned up oversight in manufacture of the lcd. Could have done it 90 Deg off.

Then you can't take pictures with sunglasses on and you can't use the gps while driving with the SGs on. It goes both ways in terms of preferable polarization orientation.

I think this isn't quite accurate. I came from an Amoled to the HTC U11 and it took me a week to get used to the colours. At first felt very washed out. However now it's fine now my eyes have adjusted.

Mine has a reddish tint as well when screen brightness is low. Did you solved this issue, or did it go away by itself like htc 10 users were reporting?

Mine has a reddish tint too when the brightness is under 80-85%, and almost disappear at full brightness. Is there a fix for this?? I should sent it to warranty?

Brightness level has been noticeably lower than my previous phone the oneplus 3. In the full sunlight it is... Tolerable
My Honor 8 gets noticeably brighter at the max setting. What I don't know yet is does the Pixel have the adaptive contrast feature that automatically boosts the darker sections of the image in direct sunlight for better visibility? Granted, you have to have this option enabled under developer options (make the screen easier to read in direct sunlight).
I was expecting this thing to outshine the sun for $1000. It's only marginally better at full brightness than my Nexus 6.
Hopefully not driving the AMOLED display so hard will at least make it last a little longer?!

Agreed, even my Honor 8 had a sunlight mode that boosted shadows to increase visibility. Seems like the pixel 2 does not. The screen simply doesn't get as bright as other flagships.
It's about as bright as my OnePlus 3T. More than bright enough for sunny days. Only phone I've had that was too dim at 100% in sunlight was the Nexus 6.

In the U.S. state of Georgia, just south of the 34th parallel, approximately 45 minutes after the sun was at zenith, one week before the summer solstice, my Pixel 2 was readable in direct sunlight with brightness set to 30% and adaptive brightness on.
I'm not disputing your report, but I don't know how to reconcile it with mine.
Thinking about this some more, my guess is that we're talking about very different things. As I said, at 30% with adaptive brightness on, my Pixel 2 is readable in direct sun and (updating) even when the sun is about five minutes away from its highest point in the sky on the day of the summer solstice. That's at a location just barely within the northern subtropical zone. 3dd1 said it's not bright enough at 100% in bright sunlight in the UK.
Those two statements are not necessarily contradictory. When I say it's "readable," I mean just that: the screen can be read, but not necessarily comfortably. The crucial point is that you can read it well enough to adjust screen brightness, if needed. I've had plenty of phones that could not be read well enough to do that in sunlight. (That's why I have a Tasker profile that sets brightness to maximum when I flip the phone over twice rapidly.)
3dd1 did not say the screen isn't readable, just that it's not bright enough. And that's quite possible, even though it's not my experience or my opinion.
Just got my Pixel 2 XL last week.
I don't use adaptive mode, and it seems usable for me in direct sunlight if you push the slider to like 90%.
On my S8, the brightness is sufficient that you can leave the slider on 60-70% even in direct sunlight. I'm pretty objective and the screen was the best feature of the S8. Not fan-boying for Samsung at all.
I have both here and there is just no way I'm going back after using the stormtrooper for a few days.
It's been really sunny where I live in Northern California. Tested the brightness in direct sunlight and the screen was easily readable at just under 50 % brightness.

Good to know, I'm eyeing a 5t myself. I think I read that they use a different 'diamond' pixel spacing on the 5t, so it may actually appear more pixel dense than the old lentil arrangement on Samsung's previous amoled panels.

If you meant "diamond pentile matrix", then Samsung has been using it from S3 days or even earlier than that. Today's Samsung sourced mobile amoled displays have diamond pentile matrix only that includes 5t as well. This pixel arrangement gives less number of green and red subpixels compared to LCD and other screens but it's non noticeable for a screen with ppi more than 400. It was a problem in S3 and note 2 days bcoz of low resolution but not anymore..
So get the 5t with eyes closed.

What I can tell you is that the display is perfect. No discoloration or hues on tilting the screen, brightness is uniform only thing is the display looks a bit...really a bit more reflective than the note 4 display but then it could be because of the screen guard thats pretty applied. Other than that nit picking the display is amazig.

I went through 3 different pixel 2 XLs (for various defects) before setting on the OP5T; all 3 pixels had significant uniformity problems with the top being brighter than the bottom. Also very grainy. Can't find anything wrong with the display on the 5T.

Not sure. Plenty of pink tints etc on Samsung panels. But the Samsung ones are a lot better anyway.
I had 2k screens (G3, S7e and Pixel XL) for 3 years and while I can squint and see that the 5T is a lower resolution, it looks the same when you use it normally.
I was a little concerned about this, but was relieved when I got the phone and the screen was very nice and crisp.
I would like to admit to being quite picky about resolution and used to change it on my G3 to get better battery life but couldn't stand it being slightly "blurry" because it was no longer 1:1, pixel for pixel. Most people don't notice this but it did! (Not that the text looks blurry on the 5T because it is 1:1 at 1080p.)

Hey, i just switched too from the Note 4 to too! Before buying i was sceptical too due to the 1080p screen, so i went to the stores and had a look at the mate 10 pro, wich also has a 1080p 6" screen and i couldn't see any difference, so i ordered the OP5T. I am very happy with the screen! Can't see any difference in normal use aswell. Plus it has a much whiter white than my Note 4.
Coming from the 2K screen on the Nexus 6P to the OnePlus 5 had me a little skittish, but it wasn't a significant enough change to warrant returning it. The 5T's OLED panel takes things to another level with its brightness/darkness levels and battery life impact. I thoroughly love it, and went as far as to drop my font size to the lowest possible to give me the faux-highres feel.
Currently my oneplus 3 screen uniformity is rubbish. It's especially noticeable on white band even more so on grey backgrounds with a very noticeable yellow tint towards the top left of the screen. It's pretty gross.
I know it's a bit of a "lottery" with OLED screens but can I expect a better overall experience coming from the OP3?

Sadly it costs to much and has no headphone jack and has not much development.
now back to topic: the screen looks fine nearly the same as on my op3 but thats okay it was a very good screeen.
I've from a QHD Super Amoled display from my Note 5 to this phone. Unless you're gonna use a magnifying glass to pin point pixels, you're gonna find both both displays are excellent. I am extremely happy with the display with my 5t.
Screen looks awesome to me. With any oled screen it's a lottery how uniform it will be.
The screen looks fantastic to me... no noticeable difference from a 2k one.
The phone does not support VR so it would have been only a useless battery draining feature.
