Autobrightness or full
Standard. Dynamic. Movie. Natural?
Which is the best.

Dynamic with auto brightness.

Auto brightness is just too dark for me. Auto brightness OFF, slider at 75% and Natural. I used to use Dynamic, and I'm thrilled we we have the option, but every now and then with Dynamic on an images color will look just completely blown out and I ended up moving it back to Natural which is still plenty saturated with the Super AMOLED display.

Thanks for posting this. Never looked in the settings before, and dynamic looks so much better.

Dynamic and Auto-Brightness. There is no 'best' option. It's just personal preference. I like the saturated colors I get with Dynamic, and I dont watch movies on phones anymore so it doesnt bug me. I keep a brightness toggle on my drawer so if I show co-workers some video clips or something I can wow them with a super bright display
I just use natural and auto
Standard w/auto brightness. Love this freaking phablet!

You pretty much have to lower the setting if you want natural colors. But who wants natural colors on a Samsung device!? Oversaturation ftw.
Try lux auto brightness....

Lux auto brightness and standard. my girlfriend always goes on about how nice the colors are on my phone, her incredible 4g looks so washed out next to the note 2.

Yeah I hate the washed out natural color look. I am perfectly aware that the Standard screen mode is way too saturated to be accurate color representation but imho, I love it. Especially running Beans ROM with the nice AOSP blue notification icons. Looks gorgeous!
I'm going to have to start playing with these settings!
I just wanted to take a minute to thank the guys who mentioned Lux Auto-Brightness. I just purchased it and it really is quite spectacular. I didn't realize we could have this kind of control over our auto brightness. Thanks guys!
auto brightness all day everyday! I don't notice a change in battery life though to be honest

What do you mean, "keep a brightness toggle in my drawer" is there stock, isn't it?
I use auto on standard and when showing others video, tap off the auto in the notifications which switches to full brightness.
I've gotten used to the auto being slightly dinner than I prefer. Wish there was a setting to adjust that.

When I take night time photos, the flash lights up the subject really well but the resulting photo is a bit too dark.
Does anyone have any tips for me on getting a brighter photo when using the flash?
Menu> exposure value> turn it up and hold your phone steady
Otherwise nothing you can do, human eye perceives light on a logrithmic scale while sensor cannot, so what looks bright to us is not to the camera.
Ok, I will give it a go.
Thanks mate

I get the same but its because I use auto brightness. Because brightness is low during night pics I just increase it and the pics look great.

Would like to ask why Samsung display is a little worst in resolution in gaming apps.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I mean the display when you are on home screen. The resolution is clear. But when in apps. The color isn't that good and resolution is bad.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I think the display is pretty good
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Well you have to acknowledge that the display has a pentile matrix which means that it has two sub pixels instead of 3. That equates to roughly 1045x588 effective resolution for thé screen.
It could also be the fault of the game itself.

Ahh. Thanks for the reply. But the color is slightly different from the iPad hd display. Anyone feels it.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
In display settings try turning off auto adjust screen tone. Check if power saving is off. Also try different screen color profiles in display settings. Default is standard, may be a more vivid color option will suit you

A lot of apps are badly ported from iDevices, and unfortunately, graphics seems to be the part that suffers most from this. native Android-apps, as far as I can see, has the sharp look I expect from this display, and compared to an iRetina display, has an almost equal quality.
The screen mode is particularly important, and should be changed if you find the colors on your display to vivid or unrealistic.
I myself tried changing to a more toned down mode, but got a weird B&W-feeling (I've gotten used to the SG3 display), and had to change back.

Hi all.
Can somebody please explain me why Super AMOLED display uses so much power when displaying white image?
I can surf the web only 4 hours on max brightness.

Its not just the screen its the 3g/wifi the screen and everything but the screen is bit so it needs more power than a smaller screen. That's just one reason.

It's science! Literally.
White light is suppose to be the brightest light while black is its opposite. The way these phones work is that the black pixels, pure black, are just pixels turned off. Now apply the opposite logic with white.
But for the phones, I'm not sure exactly. But I think red is the least power consuming, I forget.

I believe it's the way standard screen and amoled screens work.
Amoled: imagine the individual pixel, it has its own colour and light. When displaying black as mentioned before all the pixels are literally switched off which is why blacks look so deep with amoled. For whatever colour only a few pixels are on. Which controls what colour you see. However for white all the pixels have to be on as you can imagine the amount of power spent for a white screen is much higher.
Standard LCD screens generally work where all the pixxels are white and they are behind tiny pixel filters each having Their own colour (RGB like amoled) they can easily lets say switch the filters off and remove them so that it only displays white. Black is more difficult to display I'm not sure why I could be wrong but I think it's because the light from the other pixels comes in causing blacks to be less deep this is the same with colours they look more washed out
Anyways
So amoled is like having loads of little light bulbs of different colour that are on at different intensities to create whatever colour. Standard LCD is like loads of white bulbs or a big white bulb and the colour is controlled by holding filters over it of different colour infront of it which needs less power.
That's my understand ing but please correct me if I'm wrong! I read about one years ago but cant remember properly
Hope it helps!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
because the AMOLED, unlike the normal LCD, uses three LED RBG. to have the color white needs to turn on the three LEDs and then spend more energy. In fact, the websites often have the white background.
try putting the color reversed so as to have the black background (you save energy because it does not need to turn the usual LED)
Can't you use Google? Or Bing? Or any search engine?

My camera really seems to be worse than the S3 so I am starting to think I don't have the settings tweaked. Should I be at the 13 Megapixel setting or 9? Also the pictures are good with flash but the ones without them are worse than my S3 in similar lighting by far!
13mp is a 4:3 aspect ratio, while 9mp is 16:9. I personally prefer 4:3 for photos so I use 13mp.

I agree. I have been disappointed in the camera when compared to my S3. The camera feels slower and I have more blurry pics than I did with my S3.

Yeah, the anti-shake setting does seem to help, but taking pictures in a dim environment (inside my house) without the flash is difficult. Also, for indoor pictures, I've noticed that the actual picture taken looks darker than what is seen on the screen at the time of taking the picture.

So, your phone doesn't show a darker picture in the Gallery than what's actually on the screen when the shutter closes? And my screen is set to Standard...does that matter?

With it set on dynamic it makes it brighter on the phone overall. Of course the phone isn't going to be able to take really great low-light pictures but it makes your screen brighter with more vibrant colors.

Hi everyone!
Got yesterday my Z2 from Taiwan, awaited it so much time, and finally got it!
But seems like lcd brightness not such bright as i wish to be. Don't you think so? Or maybe lcd brightness on your z2 satisfied you at all?
Sent from my D6503 using xda app-developers app
I agree it's not bright enough especially on auto brightness. I set the bar all the way to the brightest and it's reasonable only. But if set manually then it is definitely bright enough
Can anyone confirm how bright the display really is? Nits? I think brightness is an important aspect.

Can't give you nits but it's definitely bright enough for me. Also seems whiter than Z1.

I thought the brightness was not bright enough from the videos.
Brightness is more than enough (enough to hurt your eyes ) if you turn off auto and slide the bar all the way up.
