Hello,
Did anybody noticed in the camera app that the screen is kind a flickering in some situation?
I am not talking when you are taking pictures or video, but just before that
It is like you can see your screen frame rates
I am not sure if this is normal and if it is a camera thing or a screen thing
Happens on a lot of phones. Usually it's down to the lighting. Pixel 3 is terrible for this especially when indoors.

Hey, when using the mobile phone to shoot TV, computer and other screens, found that there are vertical stripes or horizontal stripes flashing. Because the screen refreshes the screen at a certain frequency, which is beyond the range perceived by the human eye. However, the camera head can capture it. If the scanning frequency of the camera does not match the refresh frequency of the screen display, stripes will appear when the screen is photographed. This is normal.

I don't watch Netflix on my phones that much, but i was bored today on lunch and decided to watch a Doctor Who episode. I noticed that the video playback was very dark and grainy (brightness all the way up). I'm sure others have noticed this as well but i couldn't find any posts about it. I know that the phone is capable of 1080p playback so i fired up an HQ youtube video and it looked anything but high quality. The pentile display could be the culprit in this case, but it seems like it would be the gpu because it still seems like the resolution is low. Thoughts? Comments?
Hd on my phone looks great. I won't deny the pentile display leaves a lot to be desired, but not on pictures and videos. At least for me.

The graniness during playback is a negative characteristic of the pentile display that some people notice and others don't. The graniness is greatly reduced (even eliminated) when you turn the brightness down. I would recommend turning the brightness down to the lowest setting. The photon's display is so bright that you will probably never need to turn it up.
I noticed the dark grainy too, I thought it was just the program I was watching.

I've tried that and the quality was a bit better, however the contrast ratio on this phone is so great that the darks are dark as hell. I don't notice the pentile "screen door effect" unless i am looking for it, or if it catches my eye for a split second. Oh well, i still love the phone, i guess the Iphone's retina display spoiled me.
I dont think its the videos or the software playing the video. Its the Display Technology Moto chose to run with. Ive been on 30+ android / windows mobile / ios phones and this phone has the worse Display I have ever seen.
Its great that the display is in QHD res but the colors are awful on this phone. Coming from Evo 3D / Nexus 4G those 2 phones alone have bright colors. Especially the Nexus since it uses a AMOLED screen.
The photon is a GREAT phone but the display is just crazy bad. All my pictures / videos don't have enough color to them which then give it that grainy look. Shouldn't have to turn brightness down but even while doing that, there is still grainy picture.
Ima hold on to the photon for a lil while longer and then might jump to GSII.

Oh boy, i think i can smell whats coming... sorry for starting Display War II.
The blacks being to dark is black crush. This can be fixed with software. Hopefully something like voodoo will come out to allow us to make these changes.
Also note that display also has white sub pixels in addition to RGB which is supposed to increase the perception of brightness without being brighter. At least that is what i understood.
Last note when watching netflix, 4g and wifi seem best. Not sure if the limited 3g bandwith could be lacking the addition black information making the blacks crush.

Black Crush. That is exactly what it is. Everything else in this phone is near perfect. GPS locks in seconds. Speaker for music is loud and clear. Camera takes beautiful pictures. The camcorder is beautiful also at 720p 30 frames per sec. Phone is beast. Only draw back i see is the display BUT phone is nice and bright while outside in direct sunlight. As for the display i guess thats when DLNA and Micro HDMI come in LOLOL.
Hi I've been doing a few videos about the ASUS TFP and did a comparison video today and noticed something which kind of explained in my head why I sometimes think the screen is flickering (not the reported type) and why it sometimes feels like the brightness is changing ever so slightly.
You only need to watch the first minute but you can see the screen flickering whereas the HP touchpad doesn't flicker at all. Is this due to a ropey screen refresh rate? It's like when you watch old news reports with CRT screens going mental (although not as bad). I also notices that the contrast and colours actually seemed better on my touchpad which was odd. Are there any apps out there to tinker with contrast and colour saturation and stuff?
Cheers,
Felix
P.S. how do you embed youtube videos? Do I need an X number of posts?
Iam not sure if any of the one x+ owners out there have experienced this problem. When watching a video, for example using the YouTube app, depending of the type of scene being shown, whether it be an indoor or an outdoor scene, the phone has this gradual change of the the screen brightness level. Now mind you, the display brightness is set to about 15 to 20% and auto brightness is off. Its noticeable as the phone seems to take a second or two to adjust to the new environment within the video.
The dimming issue is also noticeable using the browser, especially when viewing a very dark image and then switch over to a bright one. The phone dims a little when you display the dark image and as you transition to the brighter image it will slowly brighten a little.
This problem can become distracting especially when watching videos that have a lot of transitions between light and dark scenes.
Its less noticeable at brightness levels above 60 to 70%, but i find using the phone at such high brightness level at night irritating to the eyes.
Its annoying since the screen doesn't stay on one consistent brightness level. all the phones i have used before, S3, EVO 3D, S2, NOTE don't show this problem. it doesn't matter what scene is being displayed on the phone, they all maintained constant brightness levels
I would be interested to know if its just my phone that does this or its common issue
So many views but not even one reply...surely i cannot be the only one who noticed this
Hey guys just a quick question for you lucky chaps and chapettes hows the resolution on the screen is it clear or pixelated as I know the sony smartwatch 2 had a not so nice screen.
Its fine. At a normal viewing distance it's OK. If you stick it in front of your face it's a bit pixelated.
The display is 240ppi. So about comparable to a qHD display from 3 or so years ago.

I was worried that the screen would be pixelated and some of the videos shows it not being too sharp, but that actual screen is really good. I was really impressed when I first started using it.
it's not as sharp as other smartwatches (eg the gear ones) but you dont notice it at a normal viewing distance from your wrist. you can definitely read everything without noticing the pixels unless you get closer
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
