Im asking this because unfortunately, im not sure if my phones screen is a defect or its burn in or screen degradation but after 6 months the bottom half of my Galaxy s7 screen is yellowish (oddly the top half is fine) and its noticeable when viewing a lot of whites (bowing the web, Instagram, twitter, Facebook, etc.) I love ny s7 to death but its too distracting, in the mean time I have T mobile jump on demand and want to give the LG G5 a go, Ive played with the phone at best buy and me personally I liked it and I thought the display was nice and not so over saturated.

My question really is what are the biggest pros of IPS/LCD over Amoled? I heard IPS doesnt burn in but does have "ghosting", but other then that what advantages do it have as everyone seems to love Amoled (I do love amoled and I think my phone has a defect nothing to do with Amoled but who knows)
 
AMOLED beautiful looking display, but like all OLED display it all always may of a chance of burn-ins. The advantage of ips LCD is that is more durable the AMOLEDs.
 
I have had several IPS/LCD phones and I have never heard of ghosting. I second what Ling Cheung said. For me, I like not having to switch to dark mode/theme to save power usage. It's better to have a choice than actually have to do that to save battery. Also, I find it easier to keep a phone longer that has IPS.
 
IMHO the biggest advantage is no burn-in. I have had a couple ghost image instances but they disappear about as quickly as they appear on my LG V10.
