From the previews around the web, the screen looks way too blue. I wonder if LG borrowed the RGBW sub-pixel arrangement that they use for their OLED TVs? I am not a purist who lives and die by color accuracy, but it would be interesting to know how LG's OLED perform and differ compared to Samsung's AMOLED.
its not that different. Also, LCD's don't have the kind of pixel death issue and thus higher resale than OLEDs. The wallpapers look nice on the G-Flex 2: i hope someone uploads them (in full resolution) sometime soon.
For the love of everything holy, call it by its real name P-OLED.
LG didn't say anything about WRGB, and they usually boast about such things, so I assume it'll be like the original G Flex and be RGB. At least it's not pentile.

Yes, you are right. It's usually the same as we've saw.

A certain website take a few close-up photo on LG G Flex 2's screen. http://m.eprice.com.hk/mobile/talk/4531/200987/1/rv/lg-g-flex-2-review/ While those photo aren't close enough to show sub pixel arrangememt and the article say nothing about this, edge of those icon on screens look like the effect of diamond pentile arrangment to me.

Pretty sure it is. If I get real close I can see jaggies.
is this screen(OLED) gonna burn-in like Samsung's amoled ??????
I do not know if this is true or not but I remember reading somewhere that the G Flex 2 has 4 sub-pixels per pixel instead of the usual 2 sub-pixels found on pentile arrangement. I find that hard to believe but I am throwing it out there since it is not totally outside of imagination. But you would think LG would have gone for 2560x1440 if that is the case.. you know, at least for marketing. I know that the GPU will have to work harder at higher resolution (thus higher power consumption), but my general impression is that the display itself consumes more power than GPU, especially for non-3D workloads.

There will be uneven wear amongst different sub-pixels. That is the nature of OLED tech, and every tech in general. Once you start using electronic devices they all start to wear. The question is always the matter of degree and kind, and how it is mitigated.
So far next to my g3 this screen looks more colorful and just as sharp. Remind me of a Samsung device. Screen is pretty good if you worried no blue tint aleast from mine
Agreed. One of the best screens i have seen.

I really love my Captivate... but the screen is annoying me. Sitting next to my Evo, the pixellation on the Captivate is EXTREMELY noticeable and makes the phone look like it has a crappier resolution even though its .3inches smaller.
I imagine that I'm just stuck with this? Why would they do this? It makes the phone's display, which is a premium display, look like its cheap!
I've noticed it almost looks like the pentile pixels move around so I wonder if its a software feature and not just the screen or is that just wishful thinking?
man... you have a VERY good eyes... but the cappy screen is VERY good...
I have noticed that too my friend samsung mesmerise or whstever its called look better and less pixely but i guess its just the scrren you csnt do nothing about it

Well I used the Evo for ... well when did it come out, june? So I've used it since then... so its really easy for me to spot the pentile effect on the Captivate.
Don't get me wrong, I love my Captivate... but actually having to zoom in the browser now to read things is not my most favorite thing in the world. On my Evo, I would hardly ever zoom in landscape... and I wouldn't have to with the Captivate either but for the stupid pentile matrix on the display. I don't notice it so much with videos and things (which are absolutely phenomenal), just with white screens or when I'm browsing or holding the phone too close to my face. And the pentiles DO move - I'm guessing this is to prevent the AMOLED burn-in?
pentile = pixelization? or my english is too bad to understand you?
Pentile is different on the pixel level than LCD's. Here's a visual...

Read the picture. It says there's 33% fewer subpixels, therefore less detail in the end (especially with text). The LCD displays have S-AMOLED beat by a pretty good margin with detail. Personally though, I love it because of the contrast ratios and color reproduction. It's the KING of black levels, with 100,000:1 static contrast ratio.
Guess we're just hosed on it... feels like 33% less resolution which is unacceptable...
I have a DroidX and a SGS, the SGS blows away the Droid X screen. But one thing I noticed is with the stock screen protector on it would make text look funny. You should try removing it and see if it helps. It was like my screen protector was reflecting light or something. Switched it out with a universal one and poof all better.
I happen to have these 3 amazing devices in my possession, and so I feel obligated to snap some comparison photos. Most interestingly is the last few demonstrating the bleeding LCD issue. This is the best I could do without a tripod. Order left to right: EVO, G2x, Nexus S.

G2x and Nexus Home:
Youtube (demoing blacks) EVO and G2x:
Youtube G2x and Nexus S:
Market (for greens):
And now the moment, all phones showing black image:
Angle view showing bad LCD bleed:
So here's my conclusion. G2x has most natural colors, the OLED on the Nexus just seems artificially vivid, but really there's not much difference until you hit the blacks. G2x has same LCD bleed as EVO, but 1000x better colors. So there you go, if you're used to OLED I can see why you're disappointed, but if you've been on an EVO LCD, the G2x is quite a treat. You can go wrong with any of these phones.

Personally I think the G2X looks better in all cases. Sure there is some bleed on the complete black, but to be honest, I am probably not the only one that uses their phone in normal lighting, every issue I have seen posted regarding bleed problems are in a pitch black room. Hardly a situation that I would even come close to on a daily basis.
I think the G2X is great as is across the board. And I am coming from a Fascinate (Galaxy S phone).
Well done Ravin! Thanks for that comparison.
wierd
in the pics the 2 screens look on while the third is black. i dotn see it like that maybe its just the way the camera pics up the bleed. But i think this is back to the old plama lcd arguments. my blacks on lcd and phone are black enough for me maybe i have my mind convinced they are black

Well you're right, OLED is off when it's displaying black, that's why it has a massive contrast ratio. The camera isn't lying in those pics.
I have used both the NS and the G2X and I prefer the G2X over the NS. I sold my used NS the day I bought the new G2X and I am not looking back.
I haven't had any of the balcklight bleeding issues everyone is talking about and the speed of the phone is superior to that of the NS. The phone feels more solid in my hand then the NS did, the build quality to me is allot better then the plastic NS.
I haven't rooted mine yet, I will wait until a stable release of CM7 comes out and then I will take the plunge. I think once a nice stable ROM is released and the recovery flashing issue are resolved, allot of folks will make the switch.
Do you know what I take away from this? Seeing that 3 different high profile Android devices, all have the same 4 buttons, but they're all in a different order. Why can't someone say 'lets standardize on a single order for these buttons'?

The sad thing is the NS doesn't even have the same layout as the Vibrant...same company!
I got my HOX yesterday to substitute my galaxy note. Loving it so far. However, the screen seems to have the colors washed away. I realize that I moved from an amoled display to a LCD, but I just want to make sure this is to be expected and I don't have a faulty unit.
This is mostly noticeable on the xda app, where the colors on the threads page seem to be very washed out compared to my galaxy note.
See third post for pictures of the screen.

I think you would need to take a picture to actually show the screen issues you are talking about. With a pic, it may still be hard to see it. Screenshots will not show any defects with the screen hardware.
:banghead:
You're right, I will upload a pic later today.
Thanks
edit ---
Here are the pics. You're right, it is hard to notice, but hopefully somebody has seen both devices first hand and can share their opinion.

AMOLED screens are going to be a bit cold (blueish) so when comparing a LCD screen to an AMOLED screen, the LCD screen will appear to be warmer (yellow). But now compare it to another LCD screen from another phone and see what color it looks like then.
To be honest, I prefer the color of my LCD2 screen to my Galaxy S II SAMOLED+ screen.
Thanks for the info, will compare it to another LCD screen to get some perspective.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I think the colors are just fine. But to be sure you can take it to local at & t store and do some comparison with the display units that they have out there.
Sent from my HTC One X on Leedroid's ROM v5.0.0.
I had the Note for about 3 1/2 weeks, went back to my iPhone 4 for about 3 1/2 weeks, and then to the One X last week. I think the colors are just more accurate on the One X than what was on the Note. You're One X looks fine to me. I know you realize that the Amoled screens are all over the place with color accuracy and can really skew ones idea of what colors are supposed to look like. The colors are super oversaturated, often times the wrong hue, and everything has a blue cast to it.
If it's any comfort, I too, moved from a Samsung AMOLED screen and thought the HTC one x was experiencing issues with color. Too me, it all seems very warm and yellowish...but looks like that's pretty normal when I compare it to any other LCD.
Thank you all for your feedback. I have a record of bad luck when it comes to getting new cellphones, there is always an issue with the one I get.
This one is looking very, very solid so far. The only thing bothering me was the screen, but now I know it's supposed to be that way. I guess my mind got used to interpret blue as white due to the amoled screen of the note.
I imagine time will make it look better and better as I adapt to it.

My screen looks exactly like yours, its somewhat warm (yellow) and I'm not a fan. The demo unit at my local store looks perfect so I'm just waiting for inventory to flush a little maybe before trying to swap.
I posted these on the S3 forum, but thought HTC folks will be interested with the size comparison also.
Different wallpapers (S3 has the live wallpaper).

The wallpaper on the Galaxy Note is actually grey, and not black (meaning, it's not washing out the color, etc.)
Same wallpaper, and I also took out the cases on the both the One X and S3.
Another one, and just for kicks I added the iPhone 4 for size comparison.
It's tough to pick which one, and as they all look good (1000% better in person, than in picture). In the end I picked the One X for my daily driver for now. Although, I noticed the One X having a pinkish tint (noticeable on the clock). Both of the Samsung's showing better whites.
edit: Took out the "color" on the title to better represent the comparison.
that's relaly really weird. the most gripable thing about the gs3 screen and amoled screens are the whites as they appear bluish. the most praised thing about s-lcd2 are the whites. lol you might have a defective screen or something cuz you got that all backwards

thanks for trying, but to compare screens with the photos you took is kinda pointless, the colors are all off and the clarity is sub-par. You really need a calibrated monitor, a decent digital camera and the knowledge how to adjust to image to be correctly displayed if you want to compare screens over the internet.

Sounds like a defect, you should RMA that phone asap.
Can you take a picture of what you are seeing with another camera?
I've tryed but my cameras aren't able to focus on such micro details. The lines im talking about are perpendicular to the edges and form micro squares just like a pixel grid; its an hardware thing not some effect showed from the display. I Hope that i have explained it better and sorry for my English. Thanks a lot for helping me.*

Really strange, I would also suggest returning your phone. I personally can see a slight zig-zag pattern when the screen is at full brightness showing pure white.
Or maybe it's just my brain playing tricks on me...
Yeah it's like a texture on the screen and not only with white, with every light color like green light Grey and light blue for example in Facebook is visible everywhere.

this make me sad cause i can clearly see it with naked eyes and. i was expecting best display ww and get a pixellated one like an iPhone 3gs lmao such a joke.
Here's some more info
I think if the pixels were completely straight and vertical we wouldn't notice this effect as much. After all this is a 4K display with 806 ppi so our eyes shouldn't be able to distinguish between the individual pixels. I'd like to check out the S8's screen and see if I can notice a similar effect as well.
I see the same thing on my XZ Premium. I can see the pattern quite easily when I browse the internet in bed. My HTC U11 looks far sharper at the same distance. Even my Mate 9 (1080p @ 5.9") looks sharper... I do see some sort of pattern on the HTC U11 and Mate 9, but it is a more subtle pattern that doesn't jump out at you as much as the XZ Premium.
I am assuming this issue is probably just a combination of the odd pixel layout and whatever sub-pixel interpolation Sony is doing to upscale 1080p to 2160p. It is a little disappointing to see this so easily on the screen.
At first I thought I had a defective phone since every review is talking about the insane ppi and how sharp everything is... I guess there are some people like us who see this pattern more easily than others...
Edit: Added pictures
I'd like to look at a LG G6 screen and compare. It also has a zig-zag pixel pattern.
Strange that no reviewers noticed this pattern on the XZP. I've also tried to load a 4k white image and upon close inspection nothing changed, so I don't thing the up-scaling is to blame here.
Here are pictures of my Mate 9 and U11 for comparison's sake. These patterns are difficult to see with the naked eye unless I look close and very carefully.
I only notice the screen resolution being set tp full hd, try a 4k movie and I don't see any grid like stuff anymore
