Washed out colours on the pixel 2 xl?

Speculating on the Internet is entertaining. What else are we going to do for the next two weeks?

This to my best knowledge is incorrect. Samsung has to date been using glass substrate OLED. I think that they are now moving towards plastic for the truly bendable displays. S8 series may be the first Samsung high-end with plastic substrate but I'm not 100% sure that the S8 series is in fact using plastic substrate.

Nope. Android Authority even reports Samsung using plastic substrates for at least the edge panels. Considering a plastic substrate is cheaper than glass substrates, I'd think they'd do it on their other panels too.

Thanks for posting. I agree with MKB's points on design and aesthetics. It's definitely not my favorite phone design and the side bezels are noticeably thick for 2017. But, functionality is there and that counts for something. Two more weeks and we can check them out in person.

2 XL adds a larger screen, higher capacity battery, more people who will like you, a few more years on your life, and the ability to eat bacon every day without risking clogged arteries. It's quite remarkable for $200.

Welcome to the Pixel threads and thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm not sure though what your point is with regard to the to thread topic.

It seems like the pixel 2 uses the Samsung oled panel while the xl uses the LG oled panel. Last year the pixels had essentially the same displays found in the s7. I had hoped they would get s8 panels this year but that does not seem to be the case with the lack of HDR support. I need to check out the lg v30 and compare displays

 

[Joe the Insider]

This is correct, because the V30 has the same issues and a lot has to do with POLED. The V30 display is terrible actually, especially when you put it next to a galaxy.

Solution: Don't put it next to a Galaxy.

Boom.

The V30 display is still bad.

Crap. Thought I nailed it there. lol

Well, at least there's a 15-day return policy. It won't take me that long to decide though. I already have two other options on my radar if the 2 XL is a bust.

Doesn't bad mean good sometimes?

it just looks bad next to a Samsung with adaptive display on. this is my s6 edge + with colors on normal I'm guessing the poled display will look similar and I actually like the true to life colors rather than blown out reds and blues.

It has nothing to do with true to life colors. Trust me, I'm a photographer and I appreciate accurate colors. The problem with the V30 display is, its looks cheap, Colors aren't accurate, but washed out and the sensitivity is off. I assume is their new poled which will likely improve over time.

 

[GTvert90]

You guys have me worried about the screen now. I'll be going to check out the v30 at Verizon tomorrow

You can't take a screenshot of your screen to show display colours. *face-palm*

Color accuracy is very good on the Pixel 2 XL. Maybe some folks are used to less accurate color modes?

that's how I feel with every new release...

And you know this because you currently have one in hand and have determined it by calibrating the display, or...?

Regardless, if the display is made by LG (I believe yes) then it will likely not be that great as their mobile displays are not that great. Their OLED TVs on the other hand are stellar.
