Hi everyone,
It's my first time using a Nexus device.
I just switched from Samsung Galaxy S2.
With the samsung screen, the black is a real black whereas in the Nexus the black shows the backlight of the LCD (or however it is called now) screen so there's this white glow coming out when it supposed to be pure black screen.
I'm not referring to when the phone is off, I'm referring to when it suppose to display pure black background like when using the Daydream clock feature.
I'm not complaining, I'm just trying to understand if this is how it supposed to be
Thanks

It's normal. Use this for awhile and then go back to the s2, I have one too. You'll see how much better this screen is.
I agree that sharpness and colours are amazing on the Nexus but it's not the black colour / contrast I got used to from the S2.
I came from an S3 and I love the screen quality. I can actually see my phone in daylight.

samsung uses samoled screens, the blacks are blacker and the colors are more vivid. but, samoled screens dont show the real colors, they are much more overly saturated. oh, and black.. samoled dont light up pixels for black, thats why it seems blacker.

I could see as well with the S2
Anyway, as I was saying, I'm not complaining or anything... I just didn't know if the black I was expecting to see on the Nexus is about the same as in the S2...
Unfortunately, I must admit that the S2 presented a much deeper black and the Nexus 5 displays white glow rather than black.
IPS != AMOLED
S2 -> AMOLED. That's almost pure blacks and too saturated colours.
N5 -> IPS. In the N5's case, pretty accurate colours, but with background light, cause the tecnology is like that. You're not gonna get black blacks with IPS. The panel is quite a lot better in every other aspect though.
thanks @Molitro
I agree that besides the blacks, this screen is amazing
As others have hinted, only Oled screens can turn their pixels off complely (0nits) and that's why they can do cool things such as active notifications on the Moto X. When looked on head on the black levels of the Nexus 5 IPS screen are quite good compared to other non Oleds. Infact it out right destroys my desktop and laptop Tn displays in that regards.

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.
Hi,
I like a 500 nit screen, which all say the S7 has...it's just not available manually. You must be in sunlight.
How do I unlock this feature?
Reason is that the S7 screen is dim compared to iPhone at max brightness. I've looked at several S7s in store to confirm.
Thanks
I would also like to know if this is possible
it dim compared to the s6 as well. I got both phones and noticed this. probably why the battery last longer well one of the reasons

My galaxy s7 screen is brighter then my galaxy s6 screen. The s7 has also a nice white tint compared to s6. With the same color settings of course.
You can't and that's for a good reason as having the screen set to max brightness for too long will cause burn in and other damage to the screen. Just set it to auto because there is no need for anyone to use the sunlight setting in normal conditions.

My S7 is much brighter than my S6 too.
Does anyone know how to disable the max brightness? It bothers me as it keeps changing when I'm outside and the default max brightness is more then enough where I live.
Thanks.
Hello everyone! I want to show you my outdoor video of screen sunlight visibility comparison test between Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and other Galaxies. I hope you will enjoy my video!!!

The S7e is the first phone I've owned that I don't have to struggle to see in daylight. Although it's still a challenge with sunglasses on.
I agree with you, the phone display is on sunlight (how can be see in video) really sharp and visible.
I noted that when I turn on the screen I a low light environment, it has a fade before the screen completely turn on, like a fade effect. I did some tries and this happen only in low light condition. Is this normal? Under sun light it is very clear and when I turn on the screen it is bright in no time, without any fade effect.
Sended from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
The s7 has a very bright screen u ... its a bit annoying in the dark even with having at the lowest settings but ok
Hi to everyone, is it possible to change always-on brightness of the display? It's almost unreadable under the sun. I tried to switch from automatic to manual brightness but it affects only the level when you touch the screen. It seems to me the Samsung Gear S3 is brighter under the sun in always-on mode.
What do you suggest?
Your amoled will get burn very fast if you can really do this.
The Samsung Gear S3 is amoled too but it's brighter under the sun...
