All I can say is, "Wow." I've spent the last few days using my Note 2, and kind of got used to it. Just now I fired up my DNA, and the crisp, sharp, detailed screen is music to my eyes. I absolutely love this display.
There are a lot of things to like about Samsung, but I think I'm starting to understand why people have a love affair with HTC.

i haven't checked one out in person yet, but to be honest, i'm over AMOLED.
the fact that my white GS3 has banding issues on gray backgrounds (while my blue S3 doesn't..) and the fact that my white S3 also has thos infamous black AMOLED splotches when the screen is black, makes me not want to ever purchase an AMOLED screen again.
my DNA has one tiny stuck white pixel on it that i don't even notice anymore..i'd much rather live with that than the banding/vertical lines and the black splotches in the dark. samsung can keep their AMOLED; i'm diggin SLCD!
I have a nexus 7 that I use all the time when at home. When I go from the nexus to the Dna it is like night and day. The Dna screen is flat out gorgeous.

haha yeah poor nexus... but that screen is still better than the screen on the gs3 lol.
i actually really like the n7 screen. at first I thought it was too washed out, which is sort of is... but i got one anyway and loved it. I don't use it often anymore since getting the dna, but i still really like it a lot. I'm waiting to see what the next n7 will be like with the 1080p screen. i'll probably get that and give my n7 to my dad lol

Because now it will be almost impossible to move to a smaller screen.
It's huge, sharp, bright, has wacom support, high contrast, and completely perfect. There's no going back....
Anyone else feel the same way?
It's gonna be hard to go to the inevitable sgs3. I plan on keeping my note throughout though, as a Wi-Fi tablet/ in car media center
I don't even have mine yet and I agree. I played with it for 15 minutes or so yesterday, and now I can't wait to upgrade from my Infuse. And the size is so perfect. I know that the Note will only be able to be replaced by its successor when Samsung releases it. I hope they continue the series, as I will be a Note user for life if they continue it. Hell, I could even go for a slightly larger screen if they manage to figure out edge to edge displays that will fit in a similar sized package. Samsung has nailed the future of mobile devices with this one. Completely secured my loyalty to them through the Captivate, Infuse, and soon the Note. I can't get over how awesome of a device it is, even though I don't have one to call my own yet.

I have returned one Razr Maxx for this issue. The unit I have know also has this issue. I will explain...
Your screen has to be black. I achieve this by either doing a google image search for black image or.. While hdmi out to TV (screen goes to black while hdmi out)
When screen is black and you yourself are in a dark room, example: laying in bed with lights out.
Look at your screen. You will see black blotches or black lines on your screen.
The two maxx phones i've had both show these abnormalities but... They appear differently between the two phones.
Wondering if this is a screen issue or is it some kind of glue underlying the screen.

It's a AMOLED display and this is normal. All AMOLED displays have this at some degree.
I've never looked at it in a dark room. it's a phone. It's not a proofing display.
My screen has this problem as well. It def looks like a manufacturing defect, but I noticed after the 14 days so vzn wouldn't give me a new phone just a refurb. I just decided to keep it for now maybe I'll do a warranty claim later.

Side effect of the Super Amoled display. All Razr' will have this. Exchange to your hearts content but you won't get one without it. Look at it like this though. What problems does your current device NOT have? When you exchange your device you might pick up new issues. Just keep that in mind.

Those are the "blotches" that you will hear people talk about. They are common on the Samsung SAM-OLED screens and have been a problem since the Galaxy S. If it really bothers you your best bet is return it and try another one, but that is hit or miss you might get one thats worse. Its a problem with manufacturing process of the screen (no software fix).
I guess it's kinda relieving to know it's common but not at the same time

It doesn't have to do with the retina displays...just the type of material. Apple and HTC use LCD variants and the manufacturing process doesn't introduce these black ink marks.

Hello,
I really like the Note 2, I've gone back to it two times already, once from a Iphone 5, and the 2nd from a Lumia 920. The lumia 920 was great for photos, but the windows UI was extremely boring. I hardly use the S-pen as well, I just like the big screen. But I do have a small wifi problem with my note 2 right now, in which a new replacement is coming in soon. Any Note 2 users out there planning to ditch and get the HTC One?

Over the past year I have carried every major new phone in AT&Ts lineup and this is the first one I have been truly excited about. I haven't been able to put it down. The Note 2 was significantly better than the Note, but can't hold up the jock strap of the One. Screen size is the only this the Note has going for it, the screen resolution on the One is ridiculous and more than makes up for the size.

I had the silver a couple of weeks ago than traded it in for the gs4 which was just horrible. Today my new HTC one arrived in black. Now I'm faced with a decision. Yesterday the GS4 had an it's update which made the phone work as it should finally, but I love the One. We all know the background on which phone can do what and why one might be better than the other. But now that the galaxy works well and the lag is gone I'm having a real tough time deciding on which to keep. The note feels amazing in the hand and is true quality with a great keyboard but the screen size on the gs4 is so much better when surfing. Help me decide guys. I will post this on the gs4 forum as well.
