Hi,
I have a Samsung SkyRocket and Infuse both are set at a HDPI of 240.The Infuse has a DPI (dot per inch) width of 234.46153
and DPI height of 236,27907. The SkyRocket has a DPI width of 160.42105 and DPI height of 160.0.
Since both phones are set at a HDPI of 240 I am assuming that the Infuse has a better screen than the Skyrocket? I thought they were suppose to be the same screen? Why are the dot density different?
Looking at both phones, the Infuse has much sharper and illuminated fonts.
Thank you for any useful information in advance,
Giovanni
DPI is length (in X or Y direction) / amount of dots (pixels - for ppi).
If both screens have the same size and same proportion (which means equal X and Y sizes) - it means both screens have the same actual DPI.
That is, unless one of the screens is Pentile and the other isn't - which is not the case here.
You can see in specs that both screens are approx. 207ppi (pixels per inch). This is physical measurement, HW.
Whatever is set in SW - can be changed.
Hi Jack,
Thank you for your response. What you say makes a lot of sense.
Would you happen to know? Why is it that Pixel Density (dots per inch) is much lower on the SkyRocket after a factory reset? The app that I'm using is Screen&System and is showing a DPI width of 160.42105 and DPI height of 160.0. for the SkyRocket. Is there anyway
to change that and make it the same as the Infuse's width of 234.46153 and DPI height of 236,27907? Both phone's
are set at a HDPI of 240 already.
Thank you for your help!
Giovanni

Since the app can't physically measure a screen, you'll need to know where the measurement comes from to see why it's shown as it is. Maybe it's another setting in build.prop, maybe something else.
Thank you for your response. Would you happen to know? Is there an app out there where I can verify where the measurement is coming from? I think I may have a defective screen with my Samsung SkyRocket
Thank you as your responses are much appreciated.

Has anyone used a program for the droid ultra?

I used Xposed with App Settings Module. I didn't change the dpi setting, I changed the Screen (dp) setting to 320x480 which gave me 5 columns in the app drawer. I don't know what you are going for, but it works great for me.
edit: As it turns out, you will also need to set dpi to 300 to get the 5 columns on moto launcher.
I set my dpi to 280 in the build.prop (stock is 320) and used app settings to change the dpi back to 320 for the camera and active display and it worked great. However, I don't know what it is, psychological maybe, but my eyes strained immediately after setting it at 280 dpi and I've done this 2 times and both times I ended up setting it right back at 320. The Moto X is also set at 320 dpi and I felt the Maxx was not taking advantage of the bigger screen since everything is just enlarged compared to the Moto X and the only real estate gained is from the nav buttons being capacitive on the Maxx. I would like to compare the Maxx to other 5" screens to see how they take advantage of the bigger size (maybe the fact the Maxx is 720p might present a disadvantage compared to the competitors). At this point, the only advantage to the Moto X is the bigger battery but overall, the X is much better as a daily driver, especially if you like the one hand experience which is extremely comfortable/ natural with the X because of the small size and light weight. The 2013 Moto X is growing on me more and more, might have to switch out with the wife pretty soon. LOL
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.
I finally took the plunge and picked up a ViewSonic G-SYNC 144 Hz (165 Hz when overdriven) QHD 2K AHVA monitor last March. Aside from one worrying moment where the screen wouldn't display anything over DisplayPort, after some tasteful swear words it came back and has been working since. I do tend to use it at max 144 Hz, often less (120 Hz or 100 Hz if game streaming, as G-SYNC causes a few issues with OBS). A friend bought the Samsung Odyssey G9 DQHD which runs at 240 Hz, which is insane.
I have a 60 Hz monitor next to the 144 Hz one and frankly using anything less than 100 Hz disgusts me now.
Do you have a particular refresh rate you prefer, and is a faster refresh or higher quality panel your main priority? Variable Refresh Rate is great, but what is the most prevalent out there? Interested to know what monitors you are using and whether you consider them bad, good or average for the price.

Mainly I'm using two Monitors:
Lenovo P44w-10 with H/K USB-C Speaker and LG 24GM79G-B
Both are capable of 144Hz which is a big difference when you play FPS shooters and don't want any motion blur(like me).
The Lenovo is really expensive, but theres no alternative when it comes to the multiple connections the monitor can serve to you and the picture quality is really good though it has not a high vertical resolution(only 1200).

How do you find things like panel uniformity and backlight bleed?

The Lenovo panel is well made(also the overall quality) and I can't see excessive bleeding in dark situations.
Have an Acer Predator z35, 144 at stock and overclocks to 200Hz, g-sync compatible, have an Nvidia card, but game at 144.
It's kind of the sweet spot.
What resolution do you use?
HD+
FHD+
WQHD+
WQHD+ here.

Activate your Developer options menu in settings, then search for "minimum width" in settings.
It'll allow you to fit more (or less) information on your screen at once - will be a global effect.
Default dp = 384 I think. Try adjustments up or down in increments of 48.
WQHD+ Cause if I paid for it why would I not use the best resolution? lol
Premium phone, premium display, maximum resolution 24/7.
wqhd, why less? I got this phone precisely for its premium features, (and the s pen, of course) I also use 581 max dpi, which looks awesome due to the wqhd resolution
WQHD+ always
408DPI
Screen Mode: Vivid
Adaptive Brightness: OFF
Eye Comfort shield: OFF
Brightness Slider: Till end of Blue
But, i guess im killing this beautiful screen with my matte screen protector.
It feels good though.

I put a matte protector on the back, (which is already matte) , the result is absolutely nice, the protective film is practically invisible! as for the screen, I hesitate to apply a matte one,, for the reason you mention

When applying, be very careful as to not using excessive force with the provided tool, the film is extremely thin, so, if too much force is used, the edges could deform, thus not sticking properly
WQHD.
FHD+ with static 120Hz.
0 lag when pulling down the quick panel or taking a screenshot, or just animations. Phone is way smoother.
Also negligible impact on battery. Just noticed that FHD+ is lighter on the phone.
