Things look FAR better on the Xperia P. I tried to not bias myself in as many shots as possible by not identifying which phone it was before deciding which was better, and in every single one I found the Xperia to be the superior display.
I do hope they're able to either overcome the size limitation of the white magic displays for LCDs, or at least continue this work on future OLED displays.

Wow. the quality of the xperia p display is unreal. Wish the xperia s came with white magic as well

I have neither phone and stumbled onto this thread by accident so no ax to grind but there are some problems with comparisons of this sort in general and I have trouble accepting the statement as to bias quoted here.
As to the bias: it is impossible for me to not immediately know which phone display I'm looking at simply because the size difference of the image is painfully apparent in each and every instance with that of the Note being significantly larger. Even someone such as my self who "has no ax" can't avoid bias it's built into the human animal and can't be removed except by carefully designed double blind trials where there can be no hint of identity. No one could claim the conditions of the samples here are "double blind" in fact there is zero level of disguising which is which, ergo bias is an unavoidable consequence.
Regarding the comparison itself:No information is given regarding the displayed images. The resolution the original images were shot at is just one example of possible problems with the comparison. If the originals were shot at any other than the native resolution of the particular device in question it could appear distorted when scaled to the non-native display parameters. For example, if it were shot at qHD then blown to HD it would certainly suffer in the translation because the larger display simply can't offer more information than was contained in the original and might simply make any flaws larger and thus more apparent. A multitude of other artifacts could be introduced depending on conditions and even on the display of the screen of the device you are looking at the thread with.
In the image of the Headphones the words on the earpiece are very much clearer on the larger image on my computer screen ditto with the netting in the fruit image. On the other hand the colors and white balance appears to be better on my screen on the smaller images.
Is one better than the other? Very subjective.

Of course it's subjective. That's why we have some people out there who prefer to look of OLED displays to LCD, and vice versa. As for the comparison, yeah there are some pics where the size gives it away, but IIRC there were a couple where the sizes were similar. The pics aren't all loading properly for me now for some reason so I can't identify which one those are, but before making my post I did view the pics on both my tablet, 40" LCD TV and 55" LCD TV and in all cases I prefer the Xperia Ps screen.
