The Honor 5X screen has excellent viewing capabilities outside. Along with a pretty good brightness it also changes the contrast when it detects a lot of light falling upon the frontside. The combination of these two make it quite easy to use in sunlight. Of course the glare might be in the way but then just rotate the phone slightly so that you don't reflect the sun in your eyes...
Screen looks good outdoor with Max brightness. The performance is also good in the dark with minimum brightness settings.

Hello pank.dhnd,
Our developers worked tirelessly to put a great screen on the Honor 5X and we're glad you're having a great experience viewing things in bright and dark areas. Thank you for choosing the Honor 5X. (ED)
autobrightness taking time... But good..
To be fair, no phone meets the might of straight floridian sun beaming down leaving no room for vision. This phone is no different. My iphone 6 is on the same level as this phone. I cant see much out.

LOL...the reflection alone is enough ta' blind ye...
Joking aside, the Honor 5x does well outside, even though the Autobrightness setting is a little slow to compensate (can take a second to recognize it's inside a dark room or outside in full sun). Outside of that it is comparable with many flagship phones over the last couple years in that regard.
I would rate it poor outside in Thai sun with or without auto brightness, iphone 5 onward does little better when I compared .
good enough
AUTO brightness takes time to adjust but if you set brightness mutually then everything will be alright i mean its quite good
Very bright
Good enough, sometimes auto brightness does not work
Good enough. Not too hard to read outdoors.
Great for its price. Easily readable screen
Its one year later, summer 2017 though I love my L24 the display is crappy outside though I turned auto brighten off. I snap alot of wildreness pics out walking, my old iPhone 5c has better outdoor display sadly.

Max brightness helps in readability but not too much. Expected for a midrange device.
Screen readability -- good .
I hope u mean about brightness gopal. That would be a typo

Very vibrant at full brightness
i would not say its very brilliant, instead, its a good display..
its good on full brightess
Could've been better though.
easily readable outdoors, thats quite enough... but it couldve beeen beter at color reproduction.. only a bit though
Colors are not so accurate, but way better than competetors like redmi note 3
I agree
If only KCAL was implemented.
There is slighty bluish tint in display. Colors reproduction is all right. Not great but gets the job done.
Why u see bluish tint?
Colors are almost accurate. A good value for money.

Fine. Just keep on topic and everything will be on line.
Not best but definitely not bad either. In this budget definitely a good choice. Colors are vibrant and sharp
outdoor visibility is pretty good.
Accuracy got better in custom Roms.
You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed. Rate this thread to express what you think of the honor 5X's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Excellent, it goes really dim! You can use this phone at night without becoming a street light.
You can easily get down to extreme dim level ( No Root Required) on stock using simple Widget/App Dimmer App : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=giraffine.dimmer&hl=en

Hello KoeWaffle,
Thanks for the comment on the Honor 5X. We wanted to make sure that our customers could view things on their device in a variety of settings. (ED)
It will be great if they include night mode.

Android Nougat have an (un)official support of night-mode.
But yes, we need a F.lux like into the stock mode. Like on CyanogenMod.
Good lighting
Not so low , yet convenient
Minimum brightness is still to bright at night. But fixed by installing screen filters.
Minimum brightness is enough for me.

Found it. Why? It's not comfortable for me.
Minimum brightness is Ok and not bad. Especially during night, minimum brightness is sufficient.
its dim enough for night time.
Too bright for me.
Eye comfort comes in handy.
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.

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.

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?

If the sun shines directly on the screen on max brightness I can see absolutly nothing

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...

Outdoor visibility is only so-so. I can see, but I wish it can be even brighter.
It's sufficiently bright for outdoors on the max brightness.

Display has very good colour reproduction and imo a very deep black for a lcd. Overall excellent screen, with wide viewing angles.
There's an option in developer options "Increase readability under sunlight"
People should check it out.

This was checked automatically when I enabled Developer mode, maybe thats why I didnt find it that difficult to view screen while outside.

It's not the best but it's not worst in anyway. I have seen worse than this.
Sent from my Honor 8 pro using Tapatalk
Yeah. Not worst. My comments came out of frustration. But, for a phone with 2K display and 30K price, this should have been better. I face lot of readability problems outdoors/under sunlight.
Since it's an IPS display you shouldn't expect the same outdoor visibility that you would get with AMOLED displays.
2K display shines here.
Performed Very good in outdoor contions.
Ok with the reading under sun.
for regular condition it works fine but under direct sunlight, it is difficult to read the screen.
it performs really good in outdoor.no problem
having no problem is using in direct sunlight.
100% visible outside.
You should try opening camera under sunlight to find actual readability. It worst than any other phone
It's kind of difficult in direct sunlight
I have only one problem with the Honor 8 Pro and it is it's display brightness. I do not expect OLED levels of brightness from the screen but a little more output would be helpful.
In direct sunlight it is almost impossible for me to see anything. Yes my outdoor visibility more is turned on. No doubt that under some circumstances it is possible to see clearly outdoors but sometimes, especially when keeping it side by side with another device it's simply disappointing.
Coming to the pros of the display, the 2k resolution and the IPS functionality gives this phone super accurate colors and wide viewing angles.
