I tried setting the TF700's screen to maximum brightness (IPS+ mode) and I still couldn't really watch movies when I was sitting on a bus around 2-3pm. I could even see my own reflection in the screen (the TF700 screen can be used as a mirror!!!). I just want to have a sanity check, am I asking too much from the screen? When ASUS said the TF700 can be used in direct sunlight, does it really mean that the screen is visible in all sunlight condition (e.g around noon) or only when the sunlight is not really strong?
Most mediaplayers have their own internal brightness setting... Try swiping up on the left side of the screen during the video.
I can read the screen just fine in direct sunlight. The reflection will always be there, it's a glass screen.

Yes, I have set maximum brightness even in the media player as well. It doesn't help much.

What's up with not being able to see this phone outside in sunlight? I've tried auto brightness and maximum brightness. The screen just seems so dim compared to other phones... anybody else feel this way?

Yup. Just turn sideways or backwards to the sun and cast a shadow over it and it´s legible. It may be dimmer than some other phones, but AFAIK it´s not that much worse.

For me, I only realise how dirty the screen is when I use it in bright sunlight - a quick wipe down with a screen cleaner wipe and visibility is great.
Cheap screen protectors can also wreck visibility in bright sunlight.
Hello,
I have a few days with my device and I love it.
Yesterday I updated my phone using Odin, but my phone was in a Flash mode for about 1:30, I kept rebooting it to avoid any burn in.
Today I noticed my phone has a part (like a band) of the screen that is brighter than the rest of the screen, only visible on gray background and with low screen brightness.
Is this normal in AMOLED screens? Doesn't seem to be burn in at all, it's just a brightest segment of the screen. Not sure if this is normal in AMOLED. Overall, I love the screen and colors, just want to know if this brightest band in the middle of the screen is something normal in this kind of display.
Thanks!

I think all have this and uneven whites but it's the luck of the draw how severe you have it
Same here I put it next to my s5 and the s5 is perfect on mine it's brighter at the bottom very frustrating
Are you guys referring to what my phone has? http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/uneven-backlight-yellowish-hue-half-t3085887

I have this on my S8+!!! It's terrible. It's getting darker as time passes.
Ok I tried a search first no results I remember my note 7 being extremely bright I could wear my sunglasses and being outside or in a dark tinted car with glasses on and being able to see the screen perfectly I don't think my s8 plus is as bright also my white color on the screen isnt bright white or as white as I remember on my note 7 . I did try adjusting the colors no luck. And adjusting the settings it's on adaptive which I like the best but not as good as I remember. Maybe it's my gpel screen protector? Or maybe it's software built in to help this larger screen with battery life ? I believe this isn't the same screen type as the note 7. Or I'm just crazy lol the bright screen was a huge selling point for me since I live in the sunniest place on earth

You live in Yuma AZ?
Dumb question, auto brightness enabled or disabled? Reason being, the auto allows a threshold of nit output higher than ever going to the slider to 100% yourself.

Yes Yuma yes I leave it on auto I also thought my N7 did better at auto adjusting
I noticed that when I have Always On display at maximum brightness, the device turns on many random white pixels in the area that was supposed to be black, kind of simulating a LCD backlight.
It is noticeable by exposing the sleeping phone to a bright light so it will go to maximum brightness while Always On, then turning off the lights while the brightness is at maximum you can see the "backlight" (white pixels in the black area). As soon the phone adjusts the brightness you can't see it any more.
Here are some pictures, comparing maximum brightness, low brightness and also comparing to a S8.
https://imgur.com/a/pZgzT
Please note that by taking a picture makes it more evident, in reality it looks just like a LCD backlight, not a star constellation like in the picture. Even though it is not bad in reality I am concerned because this should not happen in a black screen in an OLED display right?
I tried replicating this with a regular image and I cannot, I can only see it while in Always On display.
Anyone else having similar issues with the regular Pixel 2? Or even in the 2 XL? I did not notice this happening when I had the 2 XL.
My blacks have always had that LCD type backlight look. I was wondering the same thing but I've seen others with it so I just assume it's the design. Not keen on it but it's not the end of the world for me
To me it only happens in always on display. If I have a black picture on my screen it doesn't show this "backlight"
Have had the Note 20 Ultra from T-Mobile since Wednesday and then phones been be great except for two flaws. One is native gestures still not working 100% smooth with third party launchers - which is okay, I am using FNG anyway, but another is the screen brightness.
Despite being in direct sunlight, the panel doesn't get bright. Samsung claims 1500 nits of brightness, it definitely doesn't get there through either manually sliding the brightness or setting it to auto brightness. Definitely isn't as bright as my OnePlus 8 Pro.
I've annoyingly factory reset the phone to no avail. Anyone else having issues?
Yes, it's not great .... my Note 8 is brighter in normal use.
The panel does get brighter in strong daylight but the maximum manual brightness is poor.

It is some kind of protection bec extra brightness for long time damage Amoled displays so they decided to limit it in normal usage
It's bright but the white point is um, weird.
Reminds me of the Surface Pro IPS panels, always, always, too green!
And the ability to adjust RGB levels has nary an effect!
I want the ability to calibrate the display properly FFS!
I know it's a decent display but gimping the calibration ability makes about as much sense as putting bias ply tires on a Ferrari!

If you read what samsung say about its Dynamic Amoled panels you will understand why the white looks weird , they have implemented a Hardware blue light filter which filters the harmful blue light emissions that is why all new samsung displays show white a llitle yellowish , It might not be the best looking but is is safe for your eyes and renders a more accurate colors.

What's the point of having that?
It's clearly inferior to my professional displays.
Proper calibration and white point is *everything*.
It does NOT look yellowish, it has too much green.
That looks horrible.
After using it for a day I cannot believe how much better my Mac, 11 Pro Max and S20 Ultra looks.
Can you please tell me if the screen isn't bright if adaptive mode is turned off? (120hz)

Yeah, that is what someone pointed out. Thanks
Compared to the Note 10+ it's significantly brighter even in 120Hz, and I often need to lower it even with the adaptive brightness on.
It's somewhere around 1/5 or 1/6th of the brightness bar.
