4.3" Super AMOLED+ !!!

**KB3MMX** · 01-09-2011, 12:12 PM

I'm super excited to see the new screen, anyone else?!?!

Looks like Samsung should really stand out again against all the competitions old LCD technology!!

**Cory Streater** · 01-09-2011, 12:34 PM

It was totally beautiful. Not a huge leap from what we have now, but definitely the most beautiful screen I've seen on a phone.

**Chris Kerrigan** · 01-09-2011, 01:34 PM

Samsung definitely wins with it's screens. sAMOLED is absolutely gorgeous, and I can only imagine sAMOLED+.

**Kevin O'Quinn** · 01-09-2011, 07:01 PM

Oh you Galaxy phone users. I still like SLCD better than SAMOLED. Oversaturated and not as sharp, IMHO.

SAMOLED+ might fix that, though, we'll have to see.

**Chris Kerrigan** · 01-09-2011, 09:06 PM

PShhh...someone's jealous :P

**Kevin O'Quinn** · 01-09-2011, 09:31 PM

Hey I had a G2 with an SLCD and I loved it. I've seen more than my fair share of SAMOLED displays (I sold plenty of Captivates when I worked for AT&T) and the colors are just waaaay too saturated IMO.

Remember the side-by-side that AC did a while back with the Dinc?

Samsung and HTC is viewing now for best 4.3" screen display.

I would love to do a comparison between my EVO and these new device.

I just had an evo against my phone last night and i was showing how much more vivid the colors were and how washed out the LCD looks compared...i cant go back to an LCD after this

It was a comparison between SLCD and Amoled, not Super Amoled.

**bboykin87** · 01-10-2011, 07:05 AM

Any chance of these screens coming to other phones or are they going to stay in house with only samsung phones?? I like the screens but hate the phones, I'll never buy another samsung phone again after having the Intercept (and gave it to my GF after getting my evo) and seeing how it has been a total POS for the past few months, that on top of their inability/refusal to update their phones (galaxy line not getting froyo and were on the cusp of Gingerbread)

Ah yes. I stand corrected. But wasn't the big advantage of SAMOLED over regular AMOLED improved visibility in direct sunlight? Other than that I haven't seen any measured difference between the two. Again, I could be wrong, but I still stand by liking SLCD better.

**Yourdogsdead** · 01-10-2011, 08:52 AM

I do hope they killed pentile, it needed to die.

To each their own, but I can definitely notice a difference between AMOLED and SAMOLED, and can DEFINITELY see a difference between SAMOLED and SLCD. Just me, though.

+1 agreed and as time goes on OLED's will mature and be even better. OLED's are still in their infancy as far as potential. On a daily basis i see material that is leaps and bounds ahead of current materials in the sAMOLED screens

It's not just a perceived difference, it's a factual difference. It's like a TV going from B&W to HD

I can see a difference too. I just wish they would fix the over saturated colors.

I completely agree. It's like any other technology that gets better with age (and a few other things

).

I would agree that factually there are differences. I still want to see the SAMOLED+ in person. I could honestly deal with over saturation if the sharpness is better, which according to them it should be.

QFT. My MT4G's screen looks so washed out and bland compared to samoled.

Right on Cory!!!!

**Eazail70x7** · 01-16-2011, 10:52 AM

How does the 4.3 super amoled + screen compare to the 4.3 Motorola qHD (540 x 960) display?

**Kevin O'Quinn** · 01-16-2011, 08:35 PM

Good question. I think the QHD is still an IPS LCD panel, so think D2 with a slightly higher res screen. If I'm wrong someone please correct me.

Yes this technology will be coming to other phones. Samsung does not own OLED technology. They just happen to be the first company to get to the starting line that has the capability to mass produce these screens.

Competition is great, hopefully there will be more of it with OLED type screen development !!

I have to say, it is almost painful to use a LCD screen device after having OLED technology in any form, the LCD type screens look horrible and washed out.

Actually what's funny is I have found AMOLED screens to be incredibly washed out and dull when it comes to vividness and color. SAMOLED seems to be the exception to this rule. I know when I first heard the Galaxy S phones would be sporting an AMOLED based screen, I thought "ick" -- but I was pleasantly surprised.
