If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9's display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
It would also be helpful if people posting in here would compare the Note 9's color accuracy to the S9/S9+ and/or of course the Note 8 too.
I'm so tired of Samsung inconsistencies with screen colors. Note 9 On top and note 8on bottom. To me the note 8 seems to have the better cleaner whites. The note 9 seems to be pushing a dirty white even compared to my iPhone x. Setting to maximum brightness indoors the iPhone x gets the brightest.
I got my Note 9 yesterday and I immediately noticed that my Note 8 has more vibrant colors. Note 9 seems slightly washed out compared to it. All settings are exactly the same on both phones.
So how are these getting rated as the most amazing, accurate screen ever? It clearly isn't based on the images in this thread... Or are these just isolated cases?
I think the "Basic" setting looks pretty good. The default "Adaptive" mode is terrible. WAY oversaturated.

When viewing the screen at anything over a 30 degree angle, I get a very slight blue tint. Is that normal?

Yeah... This is kinda annoying. I don't recall my S8 doing this anywhere near as bad.
I noticed the colors didn't pop and weren't overly vibrant like my S8. The Note 9 I believe are much more true and accurate.
I came from using an LG V20 for just over a year and a half. The screen on that one wasn't bad but the burn in was unreal after about 6 months of using it. I have to say that I love this Note 9 screen, it's sad to hear some users say the Note 8's is better

I don't agree with some of the users here. I got both phones, and believe me the Note 9 screen is better than the Note 8, not enough to blow the Note 8 out of the water but it is better.
Both phones are amazing pieces of technology, and any one can be happy with either of them, but to say that the Note 8 has better display is very inaccurate.

Fingers crossed it was because my n8 screen was more "aged" that it looked better. Either way, it is what it is. Now I just compared my old note 8 and my wife's note 8 to my note 9 screen again.
When comparing the brightness slider bar on the note 8 compared to the note 9, the note 8 appears to be much brighter with same screen mod and given slider values than the note 9. Even turned fully up to Max brightness the note 8 was brighter.
Someone also who has an n8 should compare.. I just compared two note 8s to my note 9.

Custom kernel would allow complete control over color and saturation. Not sure why samsung doesn't offer it in stock setup. EVERY screen varies. Not just phone screens, but all including TV's.

Well, in auto brightness mode, the Note9 is brighter than iPhoneX. But of course you have to test it under direct light.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge has a crazy crisp display. Just kidding, this is automated text so who knows if this screen is any good. So, you be the judge! A higher rating indicates that it's extremely sharp and clear, and that you cannot see pixels with your naked eye.

right

Even at QHD I can see the weird rainbow-sh look in the display. AMOLEDs with pentile pattern look worse than something like IPS at the same resolution.
Im not sure if it's because of the curves or the QHD but the screen looks AMAZING. Great contrast between whites and blacks and so crisp for web browsing.
Definitely one of the best screens available in smartphones. WOW effect is still present for me.
I think the edges ruin the screen for me. If the S7 had been larger I wouldn't have gotten the edge.
I say this as a previous Note 7 owner. The Note 7 edge wasn't so steep and didn't blur out text/pictures that go over the edge anywhere near as bad.
I will gladly buy an S8 edge outright if it holds the design of the Note 7's edge.
Believe that IPS screens have more definition.
Not a bad screen, but if I compare my iPhone 6s Plus between this S7 Edge, iPhone looks more clear.

I personally don't think the clarity is any better, but the colors are far more realistic which may be what causes that thought. While the S7E is better than previous samsung phones I've had, their colors are insanely over saturated. That just is a samsung thing in general. Their TVs are the same way. Most of the stock adjustments are horrible and I could never own one without it needing calibrated.

I do know about saturation on AmoLed screens. I´m actually comparing both phones right now, and looking closely to them, I can swear iPhone has more like definition, despite of resolution on S7E.
You are right about TVs, their colors are too much strong for me, thats why I prefer LG, curved screens are insane.

Do you have the phone set to WQHD? I was comparing mine to my dads Iphone 6S Plus last night and couldn't tell a difference minus the heavy color saturation. I started using some B&W images to compare to try and remove the color problem. Tried to pick some pictures that were more on the W end than the B end to keep it relatively fair. Used some rather large pictures, larger than either display can show, which also plays a role in which compresses better. WQHD is 2560X1440 and the 6S Plus is 1920X1080. I did not compare two 1080P images and so the Iphone may win here. I can't say for sure.
Now if you were to ask me to compare my old Note 3/4 to the Iphone 6 Plus at the time, I would 100% agree with you.

Yes, on WQHD, on 1080p doesn't have any chance to fight.
I am not sure what it is, just feeling more satisfied with 6s Plus. I have played with Settings on screen for S7E, but it's not close. It may be that I've used my 6s plus for a year and I'm new with the S7E, got used to ips.
Anyhow, I feel same as you with saturation. Samsung could do it better.
I used to own an Iphone 6s and the difference in screen quality is huge.I love my s7 edge!
I really like my S7e in every way but an Iphone 7 plus display looks better to me.
Doesn't really bother me though.

According to the article from DisplayMate, the the average color error (from sRGB) of the S7 Edge is 1.5 JNCD and broke the previous record for color accuracy. I see no evidence that Samsung was unable to properly calibrate the S7 Edge display in Color Management, as it had the least average color error for smartphone displays at the time of review.
kinda disappointed with whiteness of the screen
my opx and oppo f1 s have much whiter screen.this one is yellowish. any tweaks suggested?

I once bought a Pioneer Kuro 50" Plasma TV. It was, at the time, heralded as the most accurate set available. Display Mate and others did their tests etc and several AV mags used the TV as a reference. It cost me £2700.
I sold it at a £900 loss 6 months later.
Never got on with it and honestly never understood what all the buzz was about. Whilst blacks were deep whites looked ... not white. Worse, in scenes with a lot of white content the brightness dimmed further. The thing also buzzed in tune with brightness levels.
The test reports didn't or hardly did touch on these well known problems often discussed on owner forums.
Moral ... don't believe everything you read.
I also feel that for me a good LCD still has the upper hand in naturalness picture wise overall compared to Amoled which, in comparison, seems over saturated. (I use basic mode and an app called Screen balance)
Other than that, I think the S7E is a good device and I probably will use it another year.
My next phone will likely have an LCD display though unless Samsung change their Amoleds in some ways (or introduce more versatile screen adjustments)
Saturation levels may well also depend on the resolution
If every pixel is used you likely get more Saturation. In Nougat you can lower resolution to HD. I haven't updated yet as I want more S7e user feedback on A7 (I have exceptional battery life on MM and no issues).
I would be interested to hear if anyone noticed less Saturation with reduced resolution, ideally backed up by measurements.
I can't see the differents between FHD and 2k with my eyes
The Note 7 has a better screen than the Note 5 and the S7 edge (and every other phone) in just about every category, apparently:

1000 nits? I kinda doubt that.
Galaxy Note 7 screen considered the best by DisplayMate
Seems that this isn't the same screen as the G7. Here is a portion of what DisplayMate said:
"It shouldn’t come as a surprise then that the upcoming Galaxy Note7 has surpassed the Galaxy S7 series to feature the best smartphone display available in the market right now. According to DisplayMate’s President Raymond Soneira, the Galaxy Note7’s display is so impressive that it’s almost futuristic:
Since the Note series generally leads in display technology, the Note 7 should really have been called the Note 8 so that its name will be in better sync with the future Galaxy S8.
The analysis shows that the Note7’s display outperformed the Note5 and the Galaxy S7 in almost every display lab test. With its maximum brightness of 1,000 nits, Note7 has the brightest smartphone display ever, and its reflectance measures at 4.6%, one of the lowest ever tested by DisplayMate."

I'm guessing your eyes are less reliable than their scientific tests. So the former, most likely. It's an independent study, not marketing from Samsung.

That's interesting. The HDR thing alone would make a difference, I would think. And the brightness they made seem like a huge difference. Crazy.

Its actually an interesting read... I recommend it..at least skim it. A few take aways from it.
There are dual ambient sensors, front and back, to better approximate the needed screen brightness, and the formula that those 2 sensors goes with creates a more gentle pleasing transition. (personally I don't use auto, because if you move the phone over a little the screen changes brightness, even if the overall room hasn't change brightness, you are just casting a small shadow.
There is a learning auto setting for brightness, that's kinda cool. walk into a dark room and turn you brightness up instead of down... (ok, why?) it will learn over time and adjust up rather than down. It will make other auto adjustments as it learns how you like your screen. Awesome.
Brightness over 1000 nits... whatever, spec wise, but the comment that coupled with the lowest reflectivity, and the highest contrast levels, this is the best sunlight viewing screen ever made.... awesome.
As for the screen quality... if every device's screen is slightly better than the previous version, then over time you get huge increases in screen quality, and efficiency. This is definitely not the same screen as the s7, or the Note 5. Specs on the surface may line up, but they did more engineering on it than just plop an old screen into a new device.

Same. I compared them side by side in Best Buy and the screens looked freaking identical in terms of brightness, white balance, color, everything. Maybe there are improvements, but if there are, they are too small to be noticeable without special testing equipment. With every new Samsung phone, DisplayMate says the screen is way better than the previous version, but honestly, Samsung's screens have hardly improved at all since the Note 4. I'm sure if you held a Note 4 and Note 7 side by side you could see some very minor differences, but if you disguised the phones and just looked at each screen seperately I don't think you could tell which is which.

I wouldn't say it's an independent study. That would imply that Samsung and DisplayMate are not working together. DisplayMate makes money by helping companies calibrate their displays. Many people have suspected that DisplayMate actually has a role in the calibration of Samsung's displays. So if Samsung is one of DisplayMate's clients and Samsung is paying them, AND DisplayMate is actually testing the calibration that they themselves were responsible for, then they aren't exactly going to be unbiased and give themselves and their client a bad review.
Guys, if you actually look at the numbers DisplayMate posted and compare them to the Note 5 and S7, it becomes obvious that the Note 7 does NOT have a better screen. It is most likely the same screen with a slightly tweaked firmware that allows it to ramp up brightness a little bit more when only 1% of the screen is turned on. It's pure marketing trickery. Just look at these numbers I pulled from DisplayMate and then tell me how much better the Note 7 screen actually is (hint: it's not better):
Average Screen Reflectance
Note 5: 4.7%
Galaxy S7: 4.6%
Note 7: 4.6%
All three are basically the same and within the margin of error.
Measured Full Brightness - 100% Full Screen White
Note 5: 412 nits
Galaxy S7: 414 nits
Note 7: 418 nits
All three are basically the same and within the margin of error.
Measured Full Brightness - 50% Full Screen White
Note 5: 456 nits
Galaxy S7: 458 nits
Note 7: 495 nits
The Note 7 is ever so slightly brighter, but it probably isn’t noticeable.
Measured Auto Brightness - 100% Full Screen White, High Ambient Light
Note 5: 556 nits
Galaxy S7: 549 nits
Note 7: 569 nits
All three are basically the same and within the margin of error.
*Note: The 1048 nit brightness that is being quoted by various news outlets is with only 1% of the screen lit up. I didn’t show the 1% full white screen benchmarks because they are useless. How often is only 1% of your screen lit up? If you absolutely must do the comparison, the Note 5 and S7 reach 861 and 855 nits in the same useless scenario.
Color temperature in Basic / sRGB mode (closest to 6500K is best)
Note 5: 6588K
Galaxy S7: 6480K
Note 7: 6400K
All three are basically the same and within the margin of error, but the Note 7 is actually the worst here.
Wide Color gamut - Adaptive Display mode (larger % means it can display more colors)
Note 5: 134% sRGB
Galaxy S7: 131% sRGB
Note 7: 132% sRGB
All three are basically the same and within the margin of error, but the Note 5 is actually the best here.
Color Accuracy in Basic / sRGB mode (lower JNDC is more accurate)
Note 5: 1.4 JNDC
Galaxy S7: 1.5 JNDC
Note 7: 2.9 JNDC
The Note 5 and S7 are basically the same and within the margin of error, but the Note 7 is actually quite a bit LESS accurate, although you would be hard pressed to notice with the naked eye.
Relative Power Efficiency (50% Average Picture Level at 456 nits)
Note 5: 0.95 watts
S7: 0.80 watts
Note 7: 0.97 watts
The Note 5 and Note 7 are basically the same and within the margin of error, but the Note 7 nevertheless uses slightly MORE power and is a little less efficient. The S7 screen uses less power just because it’s smaller, not because it’s more efficient.

Got my brand new phone home, and it had a yellow tint to the screen, no combination of settings made it look right, had to return the phone. New one is nice though. My beloved nexus 6 was on its deathbed, then I dropped it and shattered the screen so had to replace it.

I like the clarity of my Note 5, and I'm happy to see that my new Note 8 does not disappoint in that department. I consider both the Note 5 and 8 to be the true "retina" display that Apple was trying to create years ago. Colors on my Note 8 are crisp and vivid, and show well even in direct sunlight (with the brightness turned up to about 50%). I use my Note 8 to do all my binge-watching (wherever, whenever) so I don't even turn on my TV anymore. What's surprising to me is that my battery life is still so good with such a large screen.
Anyone know how to increase the saturation of the display? The display looks quite dull compared to oneplus 6, galaxy s9 and iPhone x. Had them all side by side. I'm always finding I have to increase the saturation of photos too after taking them to match the colours in scene cause they are clearly muted. If you transfer the unedited photos taken on the mate 20 pro to another phone or computer, they look fine. So glad it's not the camera, just seems to be the display having poor vibrancy. And yes my display is set on vivid in settings.
Would like to know if others have noticed this as I checked out another mate 20 pro on display in a shop and seemed to have the same problem
Try settings - display - colour and eye comfort
I don't find them dull myself but a change in settings could help.
Yeah is on vivid in settings ?
Even my pixel 2 XL looks much more vibrant! It's lovely to pick up and use after the M20Pro. I have BOE screen

Interesting, seems to be some major inconsistencies then with this phone. Samsung phones I find over saturated so I can only imagine. I have a green LG screen atm and didn't want to switch to a boe cause I heard the LG display was more vivid than the BOE and I'm finding the saturation on my LG display already so poor so couldnt imagine what it would be like on a BOE screen.
The screen is fine. Seems people are just opening threads now to make baseless accusations against the phone because it's so much better than the competition.
I have Pixel 3 and Mate 20 pro, and just sold my Note 9 and while the whites aren't as blinding as the Note 9 , the saturation is just fine. The Pixel 3 on adaptive is too saturated and the photos from the camera are just fine.
Bringing up the saturation in the camera photos to match the scene? please.
I would advise the op to sell it and get a Pixel.

I have both the note 10 and 10+. I was thinking of returning the 10+ due to size but I wanted to do a screen test comparison.
I'm using display tester from the app store and i'm using the "banding, contrast, saturation" test, here are my results,
Note 10
Note 10+
On the Note 10 you can't see anything past 6, whereas on the Note 10+ you can see right down to 2 and even sort of make out what 1 is supposed to look like.
I was wondering if anyone with a Note 10 would be able to run the test and let me know if this is just display lottery, if so I need to return this ASAP and get a new one.
Both phones brightness set to 100% and both screens are set to Natural
How to do the test. I have note 10
I did the same test on Note 10 and resutls are the same, last visible square is #7. App on playstore is called "Display Tester".
Now I know why I see so prominent black crush when watching youtube videos, I don't see a **** in dark scenes even on high brightness, this display is huge fail.

I have the note 10+ and there's no black crush at all on low levels. Tough pill to swallow because I really like the size and feel like the regular 10
I have note 10 and just run the test, same after 7 below all black
Just got my Note 10, and once I've the time for playing with it - I'll take a lock at the whole "display quality-lottery" thing myself.
It could just be a bad batch of units, or a lack of proper quality control. I mean, this issue haven't been mentioned in anyone of the various posted reviews on internet so..
It needs further investigation.

I did the same test on Note 10 and resutls are the same, last visible square is #7. App on playstore is called "Display Tester".
Now I know why I see so prominent black crush when watching youtube videos, I don't see a **** in dark scenes even on high brightness, this display is huge fail.

I have a Galaxy Note 9.
Nothing is visible past #7 either.

I have both the note 10 and 10+. I was thinking of returning the 10+ due to size but I wanted to do a screen test comparison.
I'm using display tester from the app store and i'm using the "banding, contrast, saturation" test, here are my results,
Note 10
Note 10+
On the Note 10 you can't see anything past 6, whereas on the Note 10+ you can see right down to 2 and even sort of make out what 1 is supposed to look like.
I was wondering if anyone with a Note 10 would be able to run the test and let me know if this is just display lottery, if so I need to return this ASAP and get a new one.
Both phones brightness set to 100% and both screens are set to Natural

For what it's worth, I have the S10+ and can't see any difference after 9.
