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.

Just got my G5 two days ago and while comparing it to the S7 in the Verizon store I couldn't tell too much of a difference. Obviously the S7 is brighter with better contrast but when I came home I compared the G5 to my old S4 and pictures in on the S4 look so much better. The colors seems washed out on this phone.
Is anyone having issues with this? And does anyone know of a way to adjust contrast on the phone? I'm seriously considering returning it for the S7 at this point.

Mine seems kinda washed out. It's not all the time though.
Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk
Samsung phones over saturate all the colors as a way to sell the phone imo, so when you see it on display it tends to pop out more. So in contrast it will make the G5s screen look dull in comparison.
I've taken pictures with my G5 and compared the color to original object and it seems close to the true color temperature. My GFs GS6 on the other hand clearly looks overblown when comparing the picture taken to the object. With that said, I think the colors on the G5 are also overblown just a little.
Contrast is no comparison, OLED will always win.. Especially in dark environments. But I've been very impressed with the G5 in most lighting, although some lighting does expose weaker contrast.
you can't compare LCD to Amoled, obviously Amoled is more superior.
you should compare it to other phones with LCD display.
I've had my G5 for a few days now and I absolutely love it. Expect, recently my phone would dim on its own, just enough that it's noticeable and irritating. I've checked all the settings and the auto mode is turned off. I know other people have/had this issue. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks in advance.

There was an option to increase contrast on the G3. I'm not sure whether it's on the g5 though. I can't post links yet but search in google- (droid life color adjustment g3.)

I've messed around with those and sadly it doesn't help. A simple option to adjust contrast or colors would work wonders., imo.
As for the previous comments, I should have been a bit more clear on my complaints. Yes I'm aware AMOLED is superior to LCD but the difference I'm seeing is bigger than it should be. The colors were better on my old HTC DNA. Just like any new LCD TV, you have the ability to adjust picture settings and I can't imagine why that's not an option on phones.
Aside from this complaint, I really do like the phone. From my understanding, LG has been really good in the past about Android updates so hopefully some of the complaints will be rectified with updates.

Comparing my G5 with my brothers Samsung J5 at the weekend and I was disappointed with my screen brightness. It was noticeably dimmer and harder to read in the bright sunlight.
Can this be improved?
Any information would be helpful. That's my biggest gripe with this phone

Have the same problem and dont found any answer yet.
Have you thought it might be a problem with the hardware in your phone? There is no other phone that beats the sunlight readability than my G5, Amoled screens are awful to read in sunlight and other lcd screens even worse. The G5 in sunlight is perfectly readable in full summer sun at 75 % on mine.

Sunlight legibility on this is very very good....but it must be on AUTO brightness control. If you move into bright sunlight you can see the phone brightness jump into boost mode (Like latest gen samsung phones) and it is super readable in direct bright sunlight... As bright as my s7 edge in daylight (and it is BRIGHT). Had a nexus 6P and loved it, but its AMOLED panel was utter pants in bright daylight...lucky if it hit 350 nits. The G5 (and the S7 edge) have very good daylight screens. Recommended outdoor viewing phone.
I think that the software is still a bit buggy with this feature. It works, then it doesn't. I wish I could manually enable it or at least set it to start even if the sunlight is not directly aimed at the sensor. But when it works, it is extremely bright.

It doesn't make any sense.. 100% should have been the maximum. I guess LG didn't want people to use it often and drain the battery quickly.

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.

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.

What is pwm?
I keep our three V30 at 70% all the time, because I don't like LG "auto brightness" which is too dim. 70% is plenty bright, and I read on my phone all day long, with no eye strain.

PWM is short for Pulse Width Modulation. "Pulse-Width Modulation, or PWM, is one of the ways display makers can use to adjust the display's brightness. PWM is considered to be an easy (or cost-effective) way to control the brightness, but it has serious drawbacks, such as flicker that may cause eye strain and headaches."
I am sensitive for the flickering because of a muscle disease and not sure if I can order the LG V30. On Notebookcheck it states: "The display backlight flickers at 227 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 80 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 227 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below."
But this is the only site who mention it, so I am not sure if it's correct.
You should probably avoid Oled/Amoled screens altogether if your eyes are sensitive - they all flicker at lower brightness. Personally I've had multiple devices with Oled screens and did notice eyestrain in the first times I've used them, perhaps because I never had a monotor with PWM, but it has gone completely now.
Hey, when you're reading German reviews, I think you are from a German speaking country. In Germany, the electronics markets from Saturn and Media Markt both have V30 as usable sample devices in every store I went to. Why don't you check it out
I don't notice flickering or headache when using the device at low brightness, but I'm noticing flickering on CRT Tubes. So yeah, check yourself before you buy

These screens are not perfect! If you get one that shows issues at 80%, then return it. If you get one that shows issues at 50%, return it! 20% and down doesn't seem to be too bad for some. Personally, I didn't have very good luck getting an H933 but my first H932 was good. Actually better than my H933. Try all white or all grey backgrounds to see how bad the one you get is.

A lot of LCD panels use PWM for brightness too. It only becomes a problem when the frequency is very low (to begin with). But maybe I'll go for the HTC u11 plus than. Uses PWM also but in higher frequency.

I am not a LG Fanboy (actually I'm angry, that they didnt Roll Out the Oreo Update yet) but:
Camera, Design, Feeling, Size, Software,... everything is better in the V30!
The most negative thing on the HTC U11 plus was the absolute dark Screen brightness, even on 100%.
Also ist was very slippery and the beatiful transparent Design was only visible in a certain Viewing Angle.

Yeah, I'm aware, but I haven't heared of people complaining about that on phones. Must be at a high frequency or not used too often at all. I know a lot of monitors used to have PWN with a low frequency but I've used PWM-free ones just to avoid possible eye strain and probably that's why I did experience it for a bit after first using OLED screens.

Well, he's specifically worried about getting the V30 due to the screen...
And I disagree, I've had the U11 (not plus) for a half a year and I prefer my V30 but the U11 definitely had a better camera (much better in low-light) and imo software. It was also faster and had less stutters and framedrops. It was an amazing phone really, so can't go wrong if you're afraid that OLED will give you eye strain.
In reality V30 must have PWM @ 227Hz.
But in reality observers who tested V30 said that their eyes aren't strained from V30 display while they do strain from 1+5T for example
So, best bet for you should be to buy it with moneyback, test for yourself and get money back if your eyes would suffer
With PWM not only frequency does matter but also % of duty cycle

That's interesting because I watch a local reviewer and he says that his eyes are sensitive so he always mentions eye strain when reviewing phones. He said that the 1+5t screen was great overall but gave him eye strain, while the V30's screen didn't.
I never gave it much thought but I guess it matches your findnings.

The U11 plus uses high frequency. There people can get eye restrain below 30% health. The htc 11 doesn;t work with PWM (and has a nicer screeen than the plus).

Heard today that the lg g7 gets a M LCD display. Maybe wait for may to see what the new device will bring.
@Billy Madison, I can't watch the video (removed?).
Here it's a bit difficult to buy with moneyback.
I also suffer from headaches from PWM in displays (as well as other screen factors), and seem to be sensitive to certain phones so am also fussy.
From my v30+ testing I have found PWM that I notice, to occur at 41% and lower, so for me this makes the phone usable as I generally set it around 50-100% (or set it at 65% in the morning with auto on).
I have not tried a photodiode/oscilloscope on the display (yet), just pencil swinging, fan, and high speed shutter on camera to verify when the change occurs.

seems like even though frequency is low but the ampiltude is relatively little also, maybe that is the case

Awful, isn't it? My phone's ambient light sensor doesn't seem to be working well either. Like it can't make up it's mind on how much screen brightness to give off when faced with different lighting conditions...suddenly getting bright and dimming for no apparent reason and not dynamically or smoothly but abruptly - even after the latest OTA update (and numerous attempts at adjusting brightness/auto brightness and trying out 3rd party apps).
I would have thought Asus would have at least prioritized this issue over the last OTAs instead of fooling around with additional bloatware. Hope they come up with a solution soon, because I'm getting all cross-eyed. :cyclops:

Like it can't make up it's mind on how much screen brightness to give off when faced with different lighting conditions...suddenly getting bright and dimming for no apparent reason and not dynamically or smoothly but abruptly - even after the latest OTA update (and numerous attempts at adjusting brightness/auto brightness and trying out 3rd party apps).
I would have thought Asus would have at least prioritized this issue over the last OTAs instead of fooling around with additional bloatware. Hope they come up with a solution soon, because I'm getting all cross-eyed. :cyclops:

Feel for you eh!!
I personally don't use auto brightness but minimum brightness is a nightmare:silly:
I have tweaked a lot to finally get a solution.

Really? Mind sharing what your all-round brightness setting or solution is?

Oh well. It requires root + xposed.
