@TesserLink8 years agoThe thing i like the most about amoled screens is the blacks are well blacks its not a weird dark gray because of the back-light. Dark scene movies are much better. 224

@loukasmallios58114 years agoNewer lcd displays are now much better than earlier. I have the redmi note 8 pro and even it has lcd it has awesome colours. If i turn the brightness to minimum, the blacks are almost physical as amoled. 23

@asianguyimagicrenation3 years agoI prefer lcd than amoled because lcd have realistic colours. Unlike amoled, lcd did not make me sleepy while using phone. 7
@
@ikanderson5 years agoSome displays can' t turn the pixels back on fast enough, so you get this weird smear of black when there is motion. Some apps allow you to disableblacks and make the pixels very dark instead. 5

@memphisM37 years agoLcd-true colors and display. I like capturing what it really looks like. If deep blacks are your major argument, that' s lame. Amoled-over saturation. ...Expand17

@farisalfaris81208 years agoThanx a lot for this nice useful comparison. i have a brand new oppo r7 plus, with an amoled screen, and i noticed something that is strange amoled screens are famous for their absolutely deep blacks, and this is the case with my amoled when streaming a video footage with deep black backgrounds from youtube, for example. But: when downloading the same footage and saving it on the phone storage, and then viewing it, the blacks are no longer blacks, they become dark grey or even grey sometimes! i wonder what is this strange behaviour of an amoled display! it is not a defaulty device, but it seems that quality of samsung' s own units are way better than these which are made for other manufacturers! can you help me understanding this pardox? thanx in advance. ...Expand
