Lets Be Honest Here G3's Screen Isn't GREAT.

[donm527#IM]

Here is a nice artivle comparing the G3 versus Note 3. Note how the author thinks the colors look... lively.

LG G3 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 3

And an paragraph from the article. Quote...

Of course, pixel count isn't everything. The LG G3 boasts an IPS-LCD display while the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 uses a Super AMOLED panel, and the two differ in the way they reproduce colors. Saturation is boosted on the LG G3, but it is all within tolerable limits. In fact, primary colors are reproduced quite well – lively, yet still accurate enough. The screen on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 may look impressive with its pumped up color saturation, but color accuracy is thrown out of the window. That is especially true for shades of green, which are way off their target values – take a look at our color benchmarks and you'll get the idea. Reds and blues are also somewhat inaccurate. Color representation can be fine-tuned from the display settings menu – the so-called Professional Photo mode brings color levels closer to where they should be, although we'd still rank the G3 ahead of the Note 3 when it comes to color accuracy.

I compared the g3 display to my Note 3 and it is definitely better but not dramatically better. I'm more of a fan of amoled displays and I'm very interested to see what the Note 4 display turns out to be but I'm sure it will be 2k.

1080 still looks great and I don't see a big enough difference to complain about my current Note 3 display or throw money at the LG g3/Note 4 just for a higher resolution.

He also mentioned comparing to the S5... So I think he has a preference/lean to over saturation.

If the s5 lte-a is any indication, the screen on the note 4 will be very accurate, assuming same panel

u guys are in denial u can tell from these pics the g3 is duller , washed out, un lively.
okay okay yea its better on ur eyes bla bla and les strainer.. and oh its true colors bla bla.

well the some people when they look at there g2 then a g3 and notice that dullish washed out display and say hey wait a minute why is this off isnt it supposed to be 2k?

Mine is far from that. My white is white. No yellow tint or bluish tint. I don't know why others are having and issue but I don't. I'm on VZW as well and it seems the VZW are properly calibrated from some other users here.

I had two phones with AMOLED screens. Ran both at about 40-50% and loved them ... until I began getting burn in on games I played frequently. Has the tech progressed where they no longer burn in? Not that I have read about. As long as I think I might want a phone longer than a few months I will never go AMOLED again. I don't understand why so many people ignore that aspect of that screen.

Its the camera. I only see it on the screen of the iPhone but when looking at it, no blue tint. Unfortunately I'm traveling so I don't have my DSLR with me to grab a better photo of it.

Funny you mentioned the burn in. I was in Best Buy this afternoon checking out e S5 and the G3. Coming from an iphone and can't make my mind up. All of the S5 phones they had on risky to play with had some type of screen burn in. I was amazed. Really bugged me. I think that's going to swing me to the G3.

 

[joe watson1]

how can u not see the yellowish tint the whites have and the dull colors.
ur monitor is prob crap then. idk.

"Good" color doesn't mean over saturation and super bright. Learn the diff. No big deal if you don't like the screen then don't buy the phone?

I noticed it about a week after the s5 came out. But they are on 24/7 and that's s long time.

Re: Why So Much Hating on the Screen?

I have to echo DroidFox's comments because it's a great display to me. Great colors, no over sharpened text, great viewing angles and I have no problems at all with outdoors screen visibility. I have a co-worker that has the HTC M8 and he constantly raves about my phones screen and brings other people over to see my screen. Just a great phone.

Re: Why So Much Hating on the Screen?

It's beautiful! Even after coming from my oversaturated Galaxy I'm loving it. Perhaps there are some screens out there that were defective, because I literally have none of the issues reported. My whites are white, blacks are blacks, and yellows are yellow. It's crisp, bright, and natural. I think we have some trolls out there too who are making up stuff. I also think that people have gotten used to oversaturated, unnatural screens.

thers no such thing as a defect because of some ones screen is duller than anothers.
its the way the factory calibrated the screen for that batch. not all will come out the same.
a defect would be if ur screen had some sort of line going thru it or it has some sort of stain color.

these are mine

Re: Why So Much Hating on the Screen?

I came from a note 3, tried a Nokia icon, been using the s5 for a couple months and now g3. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I find the s5 to have a more yellowish hue when looking at whites. The viewing angles aren't great, which doesn't bother me. The s5 is brighter, and has better blacks. But I keep putting them next to each other and coming back to the g3. The text is sharper, send I find I like the more natural colors. To each their own. I don't find the screen to be a power hog either, I'm getting great battery life and solid performance.

Re: Why So Much Hating on the Screen?

The screen is beautiful. All colors as far as I have seen look amazing. The only problem for me is The low brightness level. On my Moto X I could have the brightness all the way down and still see just fine. If I have the G3 all the way down it's barely viewable for me. So once I turn up the brightness high enough to see it takes a big hit on battery. So its a lose lose for me

ooh okay

 

[Nreeldeep]

i have to admit comparing the g2 with g3 and galaxy s5.
the so called 2k display isnt great... also there's no use for it atm maybe in a few years i think lf just rushed it out just to be the first..
the g3 screen isnt even great the colors are off the whites are horrible it seems so dullish even with full brightness.
dont give me that crap about ooh well samsung has super amoled to make the colors pop out bla bla.
well even compared to the g2 why is it so dull. also i am aware of the color adjustment setting it helps but nothing can change the fact that the whites are still off and it still kinda dull on colors.

You can't expect everyone to be honest.
Some people treat cell phones like they're their real children. And they defend them as such. Cuz we all know our kids can do no wrong. You wanna make an enemy of your neighbor? Tell him there's something wrong with his kid.
Incredibly, that's how a lot of people are with their precious cell phones.

OK..... I just picked up a G3, coming off a Nexus 5, which had an excellent screen in it's own right.... in terms of color accuracy, it was one of the best screens available at the time and I never had one complaint about it. And while I can't really tell much of a diff in terms of resolution between the two... both are finer than mine eyes hath seen. The G3 display is pretty damn nice... bright, crisp and not at all washed out or off color... whites are bright white, reds and blues are nice and rich.... nothing's off...

The only thing I can say is that anyone complaining about the screen either has a bum unit, or they are impossible to please. No offense...
