I like extremely bright displays. Can you force the galaxy note 5 display to 800 nits without autobrightness on?

DisplayMate just dropped their S7/S7 Edge screen analysis. Basically these devices have the best screens on any mobile phone on the market, yet again. Quotes.
DisplayMate said:
The Galaxy S7 has a Maximum Brightness that is 24% higher than the Galaxy S6, which is a significant and visually noticeable improvement, particularly in high ambient light. The Contrast and Contrast Rating in High Ambient Light have also significantly improved. We’ll cover these in detail below.

The Color Gamut of the Basic screen mode is very accurate, with a nearly perfect 101 percent of the Standard sRGB / Rec.709 Color Gamut. Even better, the measured Absolute Color Accuracy for the Galaxy S7 Basic screen mode is an impressive 1.5 JNCD, tied with the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 for the most color accurate displays that we have ever measured for a smartphone or tablet, which is visually indistinguishable from perfect, and is very likely considerably better than your living room TV.
Use the Basic screen mode for the best color and image accuracy.

The Galaxy S7 matches or breaks new records in Smartphone display performance for:
Highest Absolute Color Accuracy (1.5 JNCD), Highest Peak Brightness (855 nits), Highest Contrast Rating in Ambient Light (186), Highest Screen Resolution (2560x1440), Highest (infinite) Contrast Ratio, and Smallest Brightness Variation with Viewing Angle (28 percent). In addition, almost every display lab test and measurement shows some improvements compared to the Galaxy S6

The Galaxy S7 is able to emit around 855 nits of light, up from 784 nits on the Galaxy S6 and well above the iPhone 6S which is widely reported to peak at around 550 nits in general use.

In Basic Mode (sRGB) the phone also hits 6480k, in Photo Mode (Adobe RGB) it hits 6512k, both of these for all intents and purposes are pretty much as close to the ideal 6500k as it gets. White balance is essentially perfect.

Basically, Samsung AMOLED is currently the best display tech out there. Besting LCD in every category, from colour accuracy, white balance, brightness, viewing angles, daylight viewing, ambient light contrast, black levels et all.
Great. way to go samsung.
Officially from Samsung I read the display gets up to like 800 nits but all these review say it's a little less bright than the S6. What's going on?
It all depends on how you test. AMOLED displays are funny in that they can get MUCH brighter if only a small portion of the screen is lit up. For example, if the entire screen is showing white, the max brightness will only be around 500 nits, but if the screen is mostly black with just a small white dot in the center, the brightness of that dot can probably get up to around 800 nits. To further complicate matters, the maximum brightness will be much lower if you turn off auto brightness because Samsung phones will only use their maximum brightness in auto mode. That's because the maximum brightness they can achieve in auto mode would wear out the display very quickly if Samsung let users set it at that all the time in manual brightness mode, so Samsung only uses it for limited periods of time when out in sunlight in auto mode.
Yeah I'm familiar with the auto brightness from the S6. That's insane though that Samsung advertises it as around 800 nits if what you say is true
It's bright, very bright, even in direct sunlight.
It's the first amoled that I found bright enough to be used in sunlight.. My last amoled was note4
Z6 Has a 600 nit screen brightness, my current S8+ has 1000.
Do you think this display is going to get bright enough when we need it?

Should be. Those AMOLED brightness figures are a bit misleading. AMOLED brightness depends on what's on your screen. The more white, the less bright it is. A lot of the screen needs to be dark to hit 1000 nits. If you're browsing the web you're likely in the 600 nits territory on your S8. Perhaps even less.

You cannot trigger the display brightness to be that bright. That's auto brightness and in direct sunlight. So in other words, unless you sit outside in direct sun. You'll never see 1020nits.
Read below.
The Galaxy S8 is 5 to 10 percent Brighter than the Galaxy S7, and up to 19% Brighter in High Ambient Light with Automatic Brightness. For most image content the Galaxy S8 provides over 460 cd/m2 (Luminance, which is a measure of Brightness sometimes called nits), comparable or higher than most LCD displays in this size class. The measured Brightness on the Home screen is even higher at over 525 nits. When the display Brightness is set Manually with the slider, it can be adjusted to reach a maximum screen Brightness of up to 610 nits, which is impressive. See the Screen Brightness section for the measurements and details
So ideally, slide the slider all the way up on your brightness. That's essentially the Asus screen.
First thing i noticed upon setup.I tried messing with all display settings.Note 10 is supposedly one of the brightest display's on the market even more so than a xs max or a s10+.Do i have a defective unit? anyone else feel like their max brightness is low?

Agree.,,my OP7pro is brighter than my note10plus. This along with the issues of signal, is a deal breaker for me.
My note 9 was as well I tried all sorts to see why but I managed to sort it out by switching on performance mode and setting blue light filter on and to the lowest setting
Now the note 10 plus is brighter then my note 9 but in video the note 10 is not as vivid and bright I think it's due to the note 10 been more color accurate and them eliminating a lot of the blue light
But I think it does get bright just more in direct sunlight
Ok so i tested the v40, s9+ and note 10 all on the same youtube hdr video. s9+ and note10 on vivid, note 10 is definitely the brightest of the three.so the display is not faulty, its capable but you cannot go the high brightness manually. probably because of potential oled burn in warranty problems , samsung has capped the brightness under normal conditions. Also i noticed, if turn the screen temp to cool it looks a bit brighter. I read somewhere Samsung reduced blue light from their display starting with the s10. Might be why display appears to be dimmer. Wish it wasn't capped at the very least. you pay 1k for a flagship phone and samsung does this smh.
Hi I'm wondering what settings most of you have for the display and sound settings for our note 10 plus
I've just ordered the iphone 11 pro max and side by side the iphone gets much brighter especially in hdr on youtube and the sound is a lot better also
Has anyone found some good configurations for the display and sound settings (speakers)
I also have the galaxy buds and was after getting them a bit louder if possible is they any tweaks for them
I can only keep one phone my mind is telling me the iPhone yet my heart is telling me keep my note lol :silly:
Just been on apple website and it says its brightness is around 800 nits and goes up to 1200 nits when playing hdr content
The note goes to 1200 nits in direct sunlight but doesn't seem to go to 1200 nits when playing hdr on youtube ect
So the hardware is there I'm assuming its maybe software that's stopping the display going it's full potential brightness
