Has anyone seen those youtube videos of a Samsung device with Super Clear LCD (not a i9023 Nexus S or a s8530 Wave II, the only devices known with Super Clear LCD)?
See for yourselves:
Samsung Galaxy S (Super Clear LCD) - Review
Samsung Galaxy S (Super Clear LCD) - Flash in browser
Samsung Galaxy S (Super Clear LCD) - Another review
Samsung Galaxy S (Super Clear LCD) - HD video recording
Super Clear LCD vs Retina - Viewing angle
Super Clear LCD vs Retina - Outdoor
All the videos say that it is the Samsung Galaxy S with Super Clear LCD. The Wave II is, at the moment, the only device with Super Clear LCD. The Nexus S will soon follow in most of the countries except the UK and the US.
It looks like a pretty nice screen, but we knew that from the Wave II already. It is maybe just the Super AMOLED Galaxy S, but don't say that it is because of the big viewing angles and outdoor visibility: the Wave II also has big viewing angles and good visibility. Super Clear LCD is an LCD with a lot of the advantages of AMOLED.
What do you think?
it actually shows that Samsung is planning to drop the I9000 and make another phone their new Flagship
they did that with all their previous phone.
only flagship phones have SAMOLED displays
absolutely signed allgamer.
i hope they didnt cancel the development for the sgs yet :/
maybe they need the displays for the nexus s now? who knows? are they identically constructed?
actually the new Galaxy S 4G (Tmobile) is around the corner (supposedly March)
then there are those other new models that some calls it Galaxy S2
Nexus S is not doing that well, the Europe models are being sold with SLCD, only the America and UK model are SAMOLED
i wonder which screen is the Canadian model is going to come shipped with, also expected in March
and supposedly they are also planning to release a 850/1900 version of the Nexus S, not sure how true that rumor is
Well, whatever these youtube videos mean (there is also a review in text by the way), the display looks pretty good!
It is a shame that so little know about this display. The display of the Wave II was considered to be a downgrade just because of the fact that the original Wave had Super AMOLED. Of course, most of the people like the high-contrast colours of Super AMOLED, and this display isn't going to change that, but it sure is nice.
Here is a quote from the review (translated to very bad english):
Screen
Screen at Galaxy S "new " type Super Clear LCD, Super Amoled not like the first generation. Reportedly the reason to replace it with SuperClear Samsung LCD because of limited raw material Super Amoled. This is experienced by Samsung Wave II, which is generally the same as the first wave, only increased the size of the screen. Galaxy S is the screen is really the same as the first generation air-Super Amoled, 4 inches with a resolution of 800x480 and 16 million colors. In quality at first glance does not differ much. However, it was from a narrow angle, LCD SuperClear less with Super Amoled. Nevertheless LCD SuperClear still win far compared with a standard TFT LCD Xperia X10-style, from the angle of vision and color quality.

Hi,
I own a Galaxy S2, Note N7000, a Tab S and a newer SM-N910C Note 4. I counted these devices to point I'm very familiar with various AMOLED displays. In fact, I'm so charmed by this technology that I won't ever buy a phone or tablet with LCD again. The problem is, on Note 4 RED is not as RED as in previous devices. I put the same test image on all devices, and all S2, Note 1 and Tab S displays a very pure red, the Note4 displays a kind of red- pink. I really can't say the view quality is poor, white is really white on its screen, but the wavelength of the red color is clearly different. All in this device gives me a "premium feel", but I can't explain why red looks so different. Did they used cheaper materials? I can't imagine it's only to my phone, screen uniformity is good and all screeen has the same color.
I pictured all phones (Note 4 on the left, Note 1 and S2 on the right) with Standard screen mode, brightness maximum.
I noticed this possible issue few days ago when I found about the *#0*# test mode for samsung and I wanted to try. At the very first RED test I noticed that isn't quite red.
Please note that colors aren't distorted because of different screen brightness, the hue is quite the same for the eye, too!
LE: I'm sorry I didn't noticed the screen dedicated topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/display-issues-thread-t2910575/page2
My mistake...
Mine looks about as crappy. Dang it now you've triggered my ocd, sigh.
Mine's an SM-910F and the screen is red as red can be. Probably deeper red than the S2 in your pic.

Same here with a N910C.
Agreed my n910f is as red as it could be.
Here is my Note 4 next to my good old S2. Both are on maximum brightness and the picture is taken with an S4.

The thing is the Note 4 screen is way way much brighter than the S2 and is known that the previous Galaxy flagships had very unrealistic and saturated colors. The Note 4 has by far the best screen ever and color reproduction is much closer to reality compared to the older generations of S/Note line.
Cheaper display? No chance! The display on Note 4 is top quality/technology and you cannot compare it to the S2.
EDIT: Check your Display settings, you might use different settings and that might be the cause of the pink'ish red.

This phenomena happens the same with screen on basic or photo. The red hue is the same on my S2, note1 AND Tab S - which it is said it has the most calibrated screen colors. Only on Note 4 the hue is slight pinky. Not much, but uniform. Can I have a unit that was not properly checked?
Hi,
Can anyone please test with this image on 10% brightness to check if there is ghosting.
Best regards

For me, you have a faulty unit. Please go to settings and change the screen mode under "screen" to have the same in every device, if it still looks bad, take the photos and send it to the Warranty, they have to give you a brand new device. My N910C looks much better than my Old N7000's screen. Used an image with R:255 G: 0 B: 0 (Pure red) and doesnt looks "pink" as yours. Good luck and let us know if you will have a replacement or not. Cheers!

Had to check mine, perfectly fine.
It's super red lol, looks like they gave you an LCD cause it's about as washed out as a nexus5

Can you please repeat the process ... Making zoom the image, then drag from one side to the other repeatedly, with low brightness (~ 10%) to see if the ghosting around the cat appear when in motion.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. There's ghosting and it's a known issue since the Galaxy S4. This affects every Note 4 so don't worry, it's not only your phone.
Edit: actually it's not called ghosting. Its like blue shades it had a proper name, I will investigate a bit more

Ok,
I've read something about it... but i think i'm just becoming paranoid about amoled. Last year I sent my S4 to warranty because of that, but in another intensity (way more marked than with the N4)...
Thanks for your opinion.
Best regards

like a few others, the colors are just fine, perfect red...
Don't worry, I had a Galaxy s4 too and I hated its screen. On my Sm-N910C I see some ghosting, but its 1/5 of the Galaxy s4 ghosting. Don't Worry about this bro.
My red screen is very good too. I made a comparison with my Galaxy s4 and I see no much difference.
Until the Galaxy s6 outs, the Nkte 4 has the best screen of the market.
Sorry for my bad english, I'm very sleepy.
I'll go into a store and compare my unit with a display unit there. I hope the unit in "Store mode" allows me to enter *#0*#, as I won't be able to install apps on it. After all, it is a simple test; then I'll get back here to tell you.

had the chance to see the Note 4 and the S6 side by side via skype right after the official presentation, looks pretty much the same (Talking about brightness and contrast). IDK about colors as the stream was a bit low quality, but between both I didn't saw too much difference. The screen seems to be the same as Note 4, and that's why Samsung didn't made publicity of the S6 screen and instead focused in other features.
Before starting to explain, I will do an analogy about the amoled screens: There were two "batchs"/generation of amoled screens, first one is the S/S2/S3/Note1/Note2 and the newer one started with the S4, and remained in the Note 3/4 and probably the S6.
Since the S4, samsung "remade" the Amoled screens from scratch, featuring better color reproduciton and whites (the older generation had a green tint all over the white colors).
The S4 screen was the poor amoled screen so far. Maybe because it was the first 1080p Screen by samsung, but it wasn't the best. The issue was called "Purple smearing" and happend even at full brightness. It was pretty noticeable when you move a grey object which had a black background behind, just like the separators between settings at the settings app. However, this issue was reduced in newer devices. The S4 Mini didn't had this issue since the screen quality was pretty much the same screen build as the Note 2, S2 or S3. In the Galaxy S5 and Note 4, the screen was much better built than the S4, however, the smearing effect still happens at low brightness. It's not a big deal, I can live with that. I just hope that I will not have screen burn-in problems like I had with the Note N7000.

My impression is S3 was the first using different driving methods and different materials. Different driving because you can see PWM dimming when low brightness and different materials because bluish reflections when display off.
Hi
Can someone who have used both S2 9.7 vs S 10.5 and had some chance to compare them side by side comment on the screen quality? I'm interested because I have the S 10.5.
Aside from the obvious aspect ratio and minor size difference, how are the displays. Text sharpness, clarity, color saturation, contrast, etc.
I saw one amoled phone (don't remember the model) and what I liked about it was the display image seemed to float right at that surface of the screen. I think it's because the gap between the top glass and display is very thin. I don't get the same feel with the Tab S, i.e. it feels more like the display image is below the glass, if that makes sense. What about the S2?
I hear the S2 uses pentile attachment as opposed to RGB. I know this is controversial and some say it does not matter, but if it does not affect quality then why don't Samsung and everybody use it in everything from phones to high end TVs since it's cheaper and less power hungry.
Thanks
Hello, I hope you are well
My phone screen shows a shallow black color and is almost grayish in color
Of course, it is compared to the s8 plus phone
Mine's no different from any other LCD phone screen I've used recently
Not as "true black" as an OLED / AMOLED screen, but it's not really possible for it to be, given how the different technologies work (guessing you're comparing it to the AMOLED screen on a samsung galaxy s8 - that would definitely look different). Your eyes should have adjusted by now!
Hi all,
I would like to get some feedback on the AMOLED display quality in regards to uniformity when displaying a grey screen?
Did Samsung improve anything here or do the AMOLEDs still have clouding issues and the displays are not really uniform?
This can be seen using OLED tools with dark green or dark grey.
I have a Tab S3 and Tab S4 both with some clouding visible especially when displaying grey and dark grey.
Got some feedback that the S7 had also some issues. So any improvement with the S8+? Would like to upgrade, but would like to have a flawless display.
Thanx in advance,
am
This is all I could find.
Thanks for your feedback. It describes some older panels. Question is if the screen unifromity is better with Tab S8+ or if there are still issues with dark grey/near black as with previous devices.

That page is old. It refers about galaxy tab s generation 1 I think, about 8.4 inch and 10.5 inch one, it does not talk about new s8 series.
