LG G3 sunlight legibility test

Its never that easy to tell what it is really like from these videos as the screen reflects of the camera lens, maybe if there was a side by side it will show more.
It can't be any worse than most of the phones (flagship or not) currently on the market.
I've always put GSMArena up there as one of the better ones.
More quantitative testing and actual numbers, rather than just opinions and hands on style testing. What do you find poor about their reviews?
Yes its disappointing. It also comes out a worse in the video. However its defiantly not one of the better ones in sunlight. Well below the 925, Note 2,3 or S4 and s5. Lucky for me its not a deal breaker. I will still keep the g3.
when they are working purely from facts they do well - e.g. their battery level reviews but whenever they introduce elements that should be slightly opinionated i.e. how colours on the screen look or how a device feels in the hand I feel that they never match up to what I think of the device. Not sure why exactly, but I personally just find that I do not agree with a lot of what they say, historically anyway - maybe this time they are correct, only time will tell.
A decent review requires opinions - you can't just lay out figures and expect it to accurately reflect the device.
Yet Phone Arena scored it 9.2 > S5 9.1 > M8 8.8, go figure.

Not a deal breaker for me. If I'm out in the sunlight, I'm doing things a lot more interesting than staring at my phone screen. It could be the worst phone in the world in sunlight, but as long as I can answer the phone or send a text, I couldn't care less about watching video or whatever.
this is just another example of why you should NEVER buy or not buy anything based on reviews you read or view, but only base your decision on what YOU see with your OWN TWO EYES..
all this stuff is fine to keep you interested and amused until this phone actually comes out, but I would take all of these reviews on view-ability, battery life, benchmarks, and every thing else with a grain of salt until you can actually try these phones out on your own..

Uh just what I said above. Its not a deal breaker. Yes its bad, samoled screens are better IN the sun. For everything else give me an IPS.
But the people on this forum that actually have the G3 says it is like any other phone when it comes to daylight and reading emails and texts.....

EXACTLY! Then there are people right here on this forum that say the G3 is fine in daylight ready emails and texts. It amazes me how people can read someone else's opinion and make up their mind without ever touching the phone.
Is that the screen protector that cames with LG G3 out of the box?
Have you noticed how it turns the black into dark grey(bad transferency ratio)? My LG G Pad 8.3 has that same screen protector, but has i only use the G Pad indoors, it's perfectly fine.
Buy a Spiegen screen protector or do the test without that one.
But i agree that in DIRECT sunlight, this is the worst performer out of all flagships, but you can still see what's going on in phone!
Completely agree. When you out the phone like that at an angle away from the camera, it's going to look worse. Hold the screen so it's flat to the camera, not at an angle.
Other than that the samoleds will have cooler color tones, legibility is decent for me, but I have only been using the phone for a day or so... maybe my opinion might change after some more use... but for now, I'm loving it

What ever happened to the screen that LG presented earlier?? IT was suppose to have 430 NITS... LG G3 has 375 nits for brightness according to Phone Arena. So no wonder its dark in sunlight...

And GSMArena says it has 570 nits. http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g3-review-1086p3.php
In any case, the screen isnt much dimmer than G2 IRL.

3I've had a few good days of sun lately, and haven't had any issues with the display appearing too dim (auto mode with brightness set to 66-67%).
If anything I still am amazed at the sharpness. With 1080p screens from 4.7-5 inches, I was able to resolve all the pixels (*I'm near-sighted*). The 536 ppi (even with my uber near-sightedness) is past the limit of my ability to resolve pixels on a screen.
Back to the topic at hand though, I'm rocking the Spigen GLAS.tR as a screen protector and with my brightness set to auto, I haven't had issues with viewing the phone at any time of day (I probably look at my phone for a total of an hour or so a day on average).
Hope this helps3I have the phone in my hands, and I would like to say that the screen is MUCH better than AMOLED and this video
Why?
Because on a video you can't see the real power of the screen on day light. The recording camera doesn't know what is filming, always reflect light.
I still have my Galaxy S4 and I can compare and I can tell
Thank you2
I had both and the note 3 was noticeably better outdoor.
