Longevity of the Note 2 screen?

[andy a]

Hi guys

I am about to go and buy a Note 2 but I have read a couple of threads where people are concerned about the longevity of the Amoled screen on the note 2 and with the price of this phone this does concern me!

Will this suffer from screen burn and yellowing as this is one thing that is bothering me as I don't want to buy a phone with a screen that starts to discolour after a few months
I have read so many positive comments on the note 2 screen but if it's going to start to not look as good after a couple of years or so then for me there is no point getting it, or are these people just scaremongering as it is a lot of money to spend on a phone that may go this way, I know nothing is perfect but any experiences would be good to hear.

Have and SG3 owners suffered with this problem?

I am not knocking this phone as I think it is stunning and really want it badly but the screen is worrying me somewhat as I will keep this phone for at least two years possibly more.

I wish I hadn't read about this possible problem

Well as far as AMOLED goes this one is going to start out whiter and with the bigger blue areas is going to age a little more gracefully. Believe it will age though. If a big concern I would look for some LCD device. Personally I will likely go note 3 or whatever else is hot at the time.

I was looking at the HTC One x Plus as a second choice that has the LCD screen and gets great reviews, I will do some more research on these screens before deciding as I would rather have the stunning note 2 for sure.
