No problems here in the Australian Sun.
The only problem is that due to the screen's polarization, you can't see anything if you hold the phone in landscape mode with polarized sunnies on
I think less than 500 nits.
The screen is bright enough, but I find that auto-brightness is not bright enough. You have to tweak the brightness settings yourself.
400 nits according to LesNumeriques
They tested GS5 at 300nits for comparison
HTC M8 is the brightest at 480 nits

The S5 actually hits an impressive 698cd/m2 in auto mode, but of course the other thing that matters is screen reflectance. I'm very interested in that, hope the Z2 hits DisplayMate soon.

Just 400?
That can't be right. It's too little.
The S5 has 500.

I am a huge fan of the Galaxy S phones but doesn't it bother anyone that the phone is only a 480 x 800 resolution while other phones like the htc amaze 4g (which has a 1.5 ghz snapdragon processor) has 540 x 960 and the iphone 4 has 640 x 960.
Honestly I don't know much about resolution but i would like to know that the phone i have wont be obsolete in the next few months.

The screen will be the very least of your worries, not that anything else should worry you.
No nothing else worries me this phone is fast as hell it will take some time before this phone is obsolete in any of the other areas

Go to the store and take a look at the screen, it is incredibly gorgeous, that you won't even pay attention to the resolution.

Bear in mind that the iPhone display uses 3 RGB subpixels to display a pixel, while the Super AMOLED screens use 8 and Super AMOLED+ screens use 12.
While this doesn't necessarily give you more detail or higher resolution, each pixel isn't as blocky or square as you'd imagine.
The only thing that bothers me is the saturation is a little....too colorful. I have a green forest background, and it looks like some magical neon green forest. Very vibrant. It reminds me of NVidia's Digital Vibrancy settings at max.
Hi,
Concerned that the SIII's max brightness is much dimmer than competing phones. Iphone 4, 4s, HTC One x, are all about 500 nits.
The SIII's is only around 330.
Is this an issue?
I do like bright screens, and I suspect that the dominant reason for the battery life being better on the SIII is simply that the screen isn't as bright.
Thanks

Yes, the colour contrast makes the phone brighter than original, due to the Amoled screen. You won't really notice a difference unless you compare them side by side in a dark room.
Man i can't look at the screen at full brightness it's too bright and only use when outside in sun. Normally keep it half or slightly more. However i found auto to be not too effective as it makes screen too dim.

With CM/AOKP you can change the auto values so its not too dim
Keep it Classy, Cali.

Rate this thread to express how well you can see the LG G6's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Would've loved an amoled screen.
Well that's sure to help anyone considering getting the G6.
Are you sure it's not Amoled? Did you research reviews and specs before you were forced to get your G6?
Please don't reply.
Well i have used the phone in direct sunlight and cant really say anything bad about it is readable so tha i can take calls, read texts but i wouldn't go out and start watching a video since when i say direct sunlight its like 90+°F lol but if i sit in a sunlight area with a bit of wind then yes phone is plenty bright enought for me to watch content on and enjoy it
For me it deserves 4 stars. LG G6 is more than sufficiently visible under direct sunlight.
It's pretty amazing to me that nobody other than Samsung has figured out oled for mobile screens. You know lg has been working on it for years, but for some reason they just can't mass produce it. Samsung has it mastered.
Actually LG isn't really starting to dabble in small OLED until next year.
As far as screen quality goes I saw a review stating measured 557 nits, as bright as the iPhone 7. Color accuracy was better than the iPhone and S7. Gamut was a little disappointing with 136% sRGB vs 197% for the S7. All in all a great display, probably the best LCD ever put in a phone.

Mastered? Lol... Reddit is full of people complaining about burned in screens on their S8 after just a few days.

ComputerBase (Germany) even measured 624nits:

Definitely bright enough.

i didnt know that... i guess i meant they are far, far ahead of anyone else in mobile oled displays
im very impressed with the lg g5's display. super bright, very rich in color. and crazy sharp.
It's summer season where I'm at and yesterday I was at the beach. Visibility is low in outdoor bright light.
Probably a weird question, but how is this phone when using with polarised sunglasses?
My Z2 turns to black in some angles in portrait mode and completely black in horizontal.
Cheers
I will have pretty good comparison. HTC 10 was having highest ppi and regarded as the best lCD display. However outdoor visibility was extremely bad. I am not sure but I think it is a characteristics of LCD display . One thing I notice that even for camera HTC 10 was relying on display. Whenever I was opening camera app the screen was automatically turning 100% bright and then comeback to normal after closing the app. It happen with third party camera app as well. I will report once I get G6.

Don't use auto brightness. Auto brightness is buggy in most devices. Try to do it manually.

You can see the display in all angles. Slightly worse with rainbow-effect in some angles, but still visible.
Anyone know how it compares with the LG V20 display?

Yes it may be buggy however according to http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-g6-review-752130/
the LG G6 display actually gets brighter than 100% when it is set to AUTO.
"Putting it through our testing, we found the display to have a max manual brightness of 556 nits, which is boosted to a very respectable 663 nits when auto brightness is engaged under direct light. In sunlight, this is likely to be even higher"
I have no way to test this myself. The display is just barely usable in direct sunlight. Better than my G3 though. I wish it was better in this regard since I use this as my motorcycle GPS sometimes.

Sorry for you but in the same condiction i see all very well and compared to my previous device (Samsung Galaxy s4, Redmi Note 2 and Lg G3) i think LG G6 is better of all of them, on automatic brightness too...

Do you use auto brightness and/or a screen protector? I guess some phones have brighter screens than others...
Is there an option to do the resolution lower for the screen like the S7 and s8/+ has? I run my s7 on 1280x720 and it seems the battery lasts a lot longer with that selected as opposed to qhd resolution.

Go to settings, then display scroll down to you see screen resolution and you can change it.

If you try this out and notice a decent amount of difference please let us know. I'm curious about the savings.

It'll be a while. The phone arrives today. If it's problem free, I'll use it with the default at first. Then I'll try this to compare. ?
I'm hoping it has no screen issues.
Hello!
Is it possible to increase screen brightness somehow with root?
Have a great day!
Do you want a higher max brightness or more saturated colors?
For a higher saturation i recommend this app: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/dev-app-sa2ration-enhanced-for-improved-screen-colors.4088191/
For higher max brightness the only option was Gravity Box but they removed the feature a while ago...

Nope xD different technology. Also pretty much every phone with high thermal and oled display cut down brightness when temperature Is up and this is also why lot of OLED equipped phones doesn't allow high brightness of display, becpuse the eventual reduction will be a mess.
Like dropping fps in a game from 120 to 40 or from 60 to 40. You have still the same lower fps but the drop from higher value will be more noticeable.

Yeah it's a shame really.
I would sacrifice size of my phone for better thermal. It should be possible to add proper cooling in 2022.
I think some Asus phones have it but I don't know if it makes any difference haha

The 888 Is a mess. Using It with charger connected during game help me with the battery charger exclusion features.
But also my work phone (iPhone 13 pro) cut the brightness in half After 10-15 minutes of gaming.
I know It's really not good looking but the add on fan Razer or other brand do really help. But it's a thing you use only when gaming and not during normal use.
