Anyone come from an IPS LCD display?

[pseudoware]

My last 3 or 4 phones were IPS (none were iPhones, fwiw ), so of course, the increased brightness w/this display stands out immediately for me. And black is just that, black. Not this grayish-ness seen on IPS displays.

It's still fresh for me, so maybe I might realize any drawbacks over time. People talk about burn in, but I leave that alone. I'm just enjoying the change so far.

I have ips lcd on my MXPE and I like it a lot, maybe more than amoled.

the rule of thumb has generally been that on AMOLED displays Blacks are truer black, but that other colours can be oversaturated, where on an LCD most colours are truer, but blacks suffer.

It can come down to personal preference on which people prefer.

I put my OnePlus One side by side with my N6P on exactly the same home screen, and I could not tell the difference. I was really shocked...

The biggest draw to AMOLED over LCD is that I wear polarized glasses. With LCD screen I have to take my glasses off to view it in landscape. Otherwise I the screen totally blacks out. AMOLED I can view with my glasses on regardless of screen orientation.

While what you say is true for the most part, an amoled screen can display true to life colors. The reason you don't see that for the most part is that OEMs calibrate them for more over saturated colors because it is more attention grabbing and "pops" more than accurate colors. It's similar to say a TV show like CSI & CSI Miami where the colors are more vibrant compared to a show like Law and Order which is shot more true to life. Watching CSI gives the impression of a better picture, when in reality all of the colors are cranked up beyond what you normally see.

But with the 6p's sRGB mode, or the multiple modes on Samsung Galaxy devices, it proves a more accurate color scheme is possible, but the oem would have to calibrate it that way. And like it or not, over saturated displays catch eyes more than LCDs do

Amoled are generally saturate colors making colors pop unnaturally. IPS generally give more subdue and accurate color representation. Amoled screens however becoming more and more accurate. With 6p Amoled screen running marshmallow in the Dev setting you can change Amoled screen to be less saturated. This would give more accurate color palette when viewing the display.

I forgot about that option in dev options. It's weird how all the colors look flat when its selected. I guess I prefer the CSI: Miami type of screen. I just got used to amoled after having so many phones with that type of display.

Is it the "Picture color mode" setting in dev options?

It should be something like sRGB mode. Can't say exactly what it says since I don't have mine yet, but I know it'll include sRGB in it.
