I wanted to test the super amoled screen of our sgs3 and see that black black its display can show !
Since i came from an HD2 , i thought for a while that the sgs3 had the blackest black i've ever seen.. but then curiosity came in and after some tests, it turned out that e.g the galaxy s 2 has a better black and that on sgs3 it is still a bit grey !
Also cheched a black photo to compare it with Nokia's N8 clear black display ..and got beaten as well >_>
I use Multitouch Visible Test to test the black of the devices along with the contrast of the colors when i touch the screen.
All tests have been done at night or at a very dark environment since at day there seems to be no difference.
My question here is :
Can you please confirm that this is a common thing among all of sgs3 users and not a display problem of my display ?
The gs3 lacks the true blacks that are possible with oled tech. I presume it was a compromise Samsung is making for some technical reason.
At first the grey tinge bothered me at night. Now, I don't care; the screen still looks gorgeous.
That said, when you first power on the screen, there is a brief moment where the blacks are truly off - ala gorgeous true black. The tinge might be modifiable in firmware or drivers, but I bet Samsung is lighting all the pixels for a reason.

Exactly my observations and thoughts ! Thank you my friend at least it is not only me
of course it is still a great display .
I really feel its to reduce the black clipping in dark images and videos which are prevalent on the Galaxy Note and the galaxy nexus.
There was a software solution to reduce the clipping with an app called "Screen Adjuster" which, basically reduces the contrast and makes black "grey". The plus point was that, there is no clipping then.
So I guess samsung has done the same to the S3's screen as maybe they realized that the clipping us a Pentile HD AMOLED limitation.
This maybe helps?

Surely if rooted it's possible to set up a toggle for the standard 'true black'? I used to use the s2 to read white text on a black background and it was very satisfying to see only the white text with absolutely no glow. This was one of the reasons I went for the s3 over the one x.
Hi there folks! So over the years I have picked up some samsung devices like the note and S2, and I have had a problem with green tint on both. When watching an image containing a lot of whites or black, you see a strong green layer on the screen. Is this issue getting any better with the S3, or was I just unlucky on my devices? I am looking for a new cell phone, and would love to get an S3 but I don't know what to expect of the screen. If I get a S3 with a green tinted screen, is that enough to ask for a replacement?
Hello.
I bought Salaxy S4 here in Europe but I have one problem from the beginning. When I look directly to the screen white and other colors looks great. But when I look to the screen just a very little more from the side white color get blue color in it. I know that viewing angles gives you different colors to the screen but on my S4 specially white color changes too quickly to my taste. I tested two S4 in two different shops and one have the same problem or even worst but second one looks a lot better. Anyone has this problem too? I am really disapointed and angry because this phone is expensive and colors of the screen looks different from the phone to the phone. It is like a lottery. I had S3 but I don't have this problem.
i just got a new moto razr hd
the device is brand new but the display looks all yellowish
my friend also has the same phone but when kept aside it shows brighter whites whereas mine shows yellowish tint
any info u guys know why this is there ?
I just had my V60 delivered today and I noticed that the bottom right area of the display has a pinkish tint to it.
I'm aware that this is an issue with OLEDs in general and I know many older OLED/AMOLED phones (iPhone X, Galaxy) had this issue. But other AMOLED panels seem to be ok (Galaxy S9, Note 9, etc.)
Some had a pink tint to the whole display and some had a pink tint in a certain corner of the display.
This is what it looks like: https://imgur.com/a/ZQQfEhB
How common is this and are V60 displays typically uniform and white?
It's not crazy distracting but do notice it when looking at white screens. I think the camera may be accentuating the pink a bit.
Wondering if I should just keep this or exchange the device and play the display lottery while risk getting a worse display or other issues.
Thanks everyone.
