What is your Screen Color setting on your phone? Normal? Best for movies? Custom?
And when you open camera in auto mode why is it so dark compared to other phones? Even v20 was brighter.Do you change to vivid mode?

I ran normal for awhile until I did custom and made it a bit warmer but that's just personal preference.
Are you on Nougat or Oreo?
When you say dark do you mean the screen itself is to dim or the camera picture viewfinder looks dark? Auto works fine for the most part for mine. There are a few times I've noticed where it seems to be more on the darker side when adjusting but for the most part it works good. I'm on H932 T-Mobile running 20o firmware which is latest as of posting this.

Warmer? What did you adjust? Can you share the setting please?
I'm on Nougat. When I open the camera app and look at the screen, everything is just dark.
When I tap on the screen to point an object or a person, it becomes brighter, but then it looses the color
When I compare iPhone or Google Pixel 2, they are somewhat similar, but V30 is way darker and has more blue color pixels

Any reason you are still on Nougat? In my opinion, LG improved the V30 camera with the Oreo firmware.
For instance, you can turn on Bright Mode.

Bright mode? What does it do exactly? Is it effective?
Well, upgrading to Oreo felt like battery was draining faster
Here's some good ideas on getting good color from your screen. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/forum.x...reen-colors-achieving-d65-white-t3695617/amp/
I currently have my screen color set to normal with comfort view on at 1 notch left of center.

Speaking to camera screen brightness: I'm on Oreo so can't say for sure about your situation but maybe you need to adjust your screen brightness. In auto camera mode on a bright sunny day, touch the screen on green grass or blue sky. These are pretty close to the luminance of neutral grey and your screen should now have good visibility. Adjust to taste at this point.

Just wondering if anyone else noticed yet...
Before the new update you could switch power modes and notice a major decrease in image quality in power savings mode, then notice it get a lot better once switched to balance mode or normal...
Well with the new update it seems to be stuck in the poor image quality mode that it gave before while in power savings mode. Also switching modes has no effect at all on image quality.
You can only get good colors now with super IPS mode turned on.
Maybe it is just your TFP, I had no such issue before or after the update.
Maybe you just didnt notice... Before the update it clearly adjusted brightness and contrast of the screen when in power saving mode...
It no longer does this and seems to be stuck with low contrast and washed out colors. I had no problems before the update because I would use it on balanced mode which let the colors out of the bag. But now with the new update every mode looks washed out.
I noticed that too. I don't know if it is the lower or higher quality, but it doesn't matter that much. All I care about is this stupid dead/stuck pixel.
I think it did adjust brightness but I am not sure it adjusted "quality". And not everyone is going to notice or see a difference because if some people always use auto-brightness then I don't think their screens every changed when they switched power modes (I don't recall my friend's changing).
So while I do think you might be correct that the new update has stopped the screen from changing brightness when you switch between power modes, I am not at all sure about the quality.
I wonder if we can assign screen brightness and quality to the power settings somewhere now? (or could before?)
I remember hearing months ago that Nvidia had this new idea to save battery life with the whole dynamic contrast and brightness thing.
But after using the device as an ereader for a while, the constant flickering was more than I could bare.
I'm glad its gone, now I can read in peace. I didn't notice any change in quality. Color temp perhaps...
No this is not what im talking about, It would change the image quality... not just the brightness...
Making images more detailed and colors more vivid. But its gone now, strange and kinda of sucky...
Any TFP users that knows what im talking about please chime in.
Update:
It seems that the tegra 3 auto image quality is working (not in the modes but according to what your viewing) but I really wish they would just take it out all together..
If you have a dark colored wallpaper your colors will seem washed out because its adjusting the brightness, contrast and colors to be weaker.
If you have a white bright wallpaper your colors will be more vivid, sharper and screen brighter...
This is why the homescreen may appear washed out to some, and others dont see it. It all depends on what colors your viewing.

I see what you mean.i just updated for the very first time.Its not poor image quality but when i hit my buttons it doesn't do anything screen stays the same.
Are you able to compare it with another device? Try to have the same icon on your home screen on each device. For me the TFP is noticeable different (even with a white wallpaper). I compared opera,market and google music icons, they seem to have less color and appear washed out on the TFP.
I am glad you noticed what I am talking about with the modes.
Screen brightness adgusts on mine even with auto brightness on which is expected to help battery life, but I see no change in quality of images on mine.

Before the update it most defiantly changed the brightness and image quality in low power mode. But not it does not and appears to be stuck in bad image quality mode, If you did not notice this before the update then you wont be able to notice the poor image quality unless you compare it to another android device.
Notice how the colors are off and appear washed out in comparison.
Not sure if I agree. I spent quite a bit of time examining the picture quality prior to the update. I do not see any significant difference in picture quality now.
I have a pretty good eye for picture quality (I was part of a team who set the picture quality for KURO televisions).
I am very pleased with the picture performance of the Prime. What I would love to see is local dimming......

Don't notice a difference. Seems about the same quality to me.

I think he is finally on to something for once..lol. He is correct in the sense that the major change in contrast from balanced or normal mode to power savings is not apparent anymore. I described this change in contrast and detail in the first week Prime was received. Its not in permanent poor image quality though or power savings look. Before you could hit power savings mode and instantly see the screen contrast change, it wouldn't look as detailed. at first it would look like the brightness dropped a lil but its actually the contrast being adjusted. the icons would have a cartoonish look to them. then once you press balanced or normal mode it would instant switch back. NOW, there seems to be no change at all. like its stuck in either balanced or normal mode color scheme. I just switched various wallpapers, light and dark and colorful ones. its all the same. But there is no loss in quality though of pictures. we just don't see the change anymore immediately. of course when hitting super ips+ mode the colors and screen brightness gonna jump up. it's from the dramatic increase in screen brightness. which for me is too bright, especially at night time.
Good find though Jzen. I didn't notice until you made this thread. as I never use powersavings mode. I only noticed the change in the beginning because it was so prevalant. now the switch isn't anymore. Maybe like he said Tegra3 is doing it all automatically. I can't get it to look like the powersavings mode look like before though. Display still looks as great as it did before. just now the contrast doesn't immediately drop when putting it in powersavings mode. it is seeming like battery life has increased even more though somehow. if this is related to situation mentioned, then its a good thing as there's no loss in quality or contrast. Super ips+ mode is a battery drainer though. keep switching it on and off and you'll see battery life drop in multiple numbers. not just gradually one by one. lol.

I would notice as I was the first one to mention the drop in contrast weeks ago in various threads and my Different Performance modes thread. it is not stuck in poor image quality mode. you just thinkn that because you don't see the immediate switch and drop in contrast when going into powersavibgs mode. cutting on super ips+ will look dramatic no matter what before or after update so that can't really been used. you are only partially correct in your find. and that is there is no drop on contrast anymore. To me it seems as if its stuck in the balanced or normal mode look from before. cause before when contrast dropped in powersavings, all the icons would look funny and catoonish looking. now it just looks normal no matter what mode you in or wall paper you using.

corrrect but if people never switched the modes before then it'll be hard for them to notice there is no longer a drop in contrast when going into powersavings mode. its all looks great now what mode you in. maybe it does it very slowly and gradually in powerssvings mode so the change won't be so noticeable like before. either way Best Display by far of any tablet.
This is definitely not true for me. It is correct that the switching feature is gone, but it is not stuck in low quality mode. my screen looks as awesome as before. maybe you were in powersaving mode before updating and this is another updater bug?
Yes even with auto-brightness off it will adjust brightness but this is not what I am talking about.

I notice my sig's image looks very blurry in the browser on the Prime than from the browser on my desktop PC.
My PC res is 1920x1080, with the prime having a lower res shouldn't the sig look better only bigger?
I ran the firmware update almost immediately after using my prime for the first time and connecting to my wifi. Didn't even think to look at images through it yet.
OT: I thought the clouds on the background image move. Perhaps I have been wrong from loving all the videos of this online. Will there ever bee a desktop background to have such a feat?
Ok this is my post from few days. So am not crazy? You noticed the same thing?
got a question about the screen. Some times I can sense and see that despite of auto brightness off that the screen adjusts its brightness by itself. It is a little change but my sharp eyes can see this... Do you have a similar thing? it looks like prime adjust the contrast / brightness by it self even if autobrightness mode is off. it happenes while watching youtube, browsing www or playing. it happenes like this on all 3 performance modes but it is more aggresive on battery mode (power saving mode)
Do you notice the similar thing?
i just recieved another update for my prime. The "feature" of brightness instability while scolling seem to be fixed, but yes - after using the power save mode and changing the background image i noticed a really poor color/compression in all backgrounds i set, doesnt matter which one. Restart and changing the modes to high performance or balanced doesnt help, same with setting up a live wallpaper for a while..
Had my s6e a week now and right from the start I've noticed an issue with the screen colours on full brightness.
When in bright light something happens that makes all the colours look washed out and slightly pink. I've never noticed this on my previous galaxy devices and it's really dissapointing
It seems to be related to the auto brightness glitch as it does this whether auto brightness is switched on or not. When in bright sunlight it switches into a mode where all the colours look faded and horrible. When I cover the front camera area or turn the brightness down it switches back to normal.
I've tried changing from adaptive to cinema mode etc and it seems to make no difference.
Has anyone else noticed the change in colours or have I just got a dud?
Sounds like the extreme brightness mode Samsung implemented on the Note 4. If so, that's how it's supposed to look in direct sunlight to make it easier to see.

Could be, looks awful tho :/
It does. I think the idea was to optimize contrast to make the screen visible at the expense of accuracy and saturation.
I'm having the same problem with my S7 Edge. Had it a week and then the colors just started to wash out on everything. All themes, all screens. Nothing fixes it. I hold it next to my S6 Edge with the same theme and the difference in colors is drastic. It looks terrible.
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.

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.

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.

Do you use auto brightness and/or a screen protector? I guess some phones have brighter screens than others...
Hey,
I've just bought a V30 today after my Nexus 5 started to have some issues to hardly use it as a daily driver.
After spending some time on it, I've noticed that the display is quite blured if you look close to it (it can be seen mostly on white backgrounds). It looks like watching a 480p image on a 1080p display in full screen. Everything seems to have lower resolution than it should have (note that I've tried to adjust brightness and resolution but it seems to be hardware related)
Is this normal? Is it like this for all oled displays?
Thank you for your answers

Are you talking about grainy looking? That happens on very white backgrounds in my experience. Shouldn't be blurry though. Any chance you are able to take a picture of what you are talking about specifically

Yes something like grainy, mostly noticeably on 50% brightness and white backgrounds but also on other colours (like there is a another layer between the oled screen and a display). Should I sent it back ?
@Klyno
From what I've read on the matter it seems to be just an inherent "quirk" for the V30s P-OLED display (kind of like the "Blue-shift" effect that happens when viewing the screen at a certain angle and beyond). There was a thread on here somewhere about the display that some people mentioned this. You can try exchanging but I'm not sure it will help. Maybe someone else can chime in ( @ChazzMatt frequents the V30 forums quite often so I'm sure he can direct you to the right thread). Maybe try the display thread under real reviews category
**EDIT** Found the thread:

Has anyone noticed that the auto-brightness does not scale correctly in dim light conditions? Compared to a Xperia1 sitting right next to it is considerably dimmer (Xperia 1 is around 50% on the scale vs the v60 25%. Appears that there is no adaptive brightness available in the settings and you cannot adjust the slider unless you disable the auto brightness setting. In a dim room it will go down to 0% vs the Xperia's 15-20%. I know it will learn from you changing the brightness setting but all my other phones you left the auto-brightness on while adjusting that. Forgot to mention this is the tmobile version, also not seeing any of the galileo gps on this phone.
It is absolutely terrible. I turned it off for now.
Dug into it a bit today, appears that LG's Night Mode is not like Androids Dark theme. When you switch from light to dark on other Android phones (Sony,Razer, Pixels, oneplus) the text colors will change to a color which contrasts with the darker colors. LG keeps the same text colors so the secondary line of information is a medium gray on a darker grey. Turning Night mode off does help out a lot.
And the t-mobile version definitely missing the Galileo GPS satellites. But none of the support staff are online to talk to about it...

OMG, the OnePlus 7 Pro is renowned for having terrible auto brightness...I know because I own one (mine is livable though) but to say that the V60 is worse than the 7 Pro...that's got to be beyond bad.
What is it with so many of these OEM's that they expect us to pay mega-bucks for these devices and they are crap from the factory? Is there no quality control anymore at all?

When I had the V30 the auto-brightness was great. Think these OEM's have issues with auto-brightness because when bezels was a thing they could have housed a better sensor.
