[Q] How is the SAMOLED HD Display? Any issues?

---

The Galaxy S2 is known to consist of many issues particularly with its screen. Although the screen technology is far more superior than the one featured on the Galaxy Note, I wanted to know if the Note has any of the following issues with its Super AMOLED HD screen--

1). Black blotches? (*#0*# Select Black; wait for your eyes to adjust; be in a complete dark setting, and assess for this)

2). Stains? (*#0*# Select Black; wait for your eyes to adjust; be in a complete dark setting, and assess for this)

3). Red Tint in Black Background? (*#0*# Select Black; wait for your eyes to adjust; be in a complete dark setting, and assess for this)

4). White-colored bleeding? (*#0*# Select Black; wait for your eyes to adjust; be in a complete dark setting, and assess for this)

5). Brightness uniformity issue? (One side darker than the other or lighter than the other, vice versa)

6). Color uniformity issue?

7). Washed out colors?

8). Lack of clarity?

9). Horizontal or Vertical lines?

10). Ghosting?

11). Circular mark?

12). Banding? (Use *#0*# to test)

13). Dead pixels? (Use *#0*# and Select White)

Above, are issues I've encountered on different S2's. Please let me know if you spot any of the above issues on your Samsung Galaxy NOTE. I really want to gather feedback on all of the above. Thank you.

I dont see any of the above issues but one issue is the white seems little bluish due to pentile matrix

Some user on another thread just posted a screenshot showing the uniformity issue where right side was darker than left.

Another issue noticed a circular mark

Bluish-tint is normal for Pentile matrix, but is the color evenly distributed?

? I haven't encountered any of the issues that you mentioned on my SGS2, and I've had it for almost 1/2 year now.

Anyways, just picked up the Note a few days ago and still customising to my liking, but so far have noticed (compared to the SGS2):

1. Banding. It's more noticeable (eg. Grey keyboard keys) compared to the SGS2.
2. Tile pattern when seeing grey background (eg. The notification bar)

Comparing to my S2, the screen is brighter at 100%, I can read better any text, but I can still see the pentile screen. Not much problem, it is not annoying as hell as was in the first galaxy, but it is there and I can't wait to note 2 with plus technology.

So, on your questions, no to all of them.

Oh, for banding, testing with this image

I can't see banding when I use full screen view on browser, but it is there if you move the image or don't see in full screent. It looks like the stock browser changes the colour to 65k when you make scrolls or something like that to be faster and smoother.

No problem for me.

What is tile pattern? Are you referring to the PenTile Matrix?

Pentile panic

Don't panic. The screen on mine is superb.
I have not looked at any lo-qual 8 or 16 bit images, which will look like so called "banding". Banding is not a technical term, but I know what you mean.
This screen is 24bit, Millions of colors. If you look at 8-16 bit images, they will show banding. On older devices, you would see nothing but banding as they were only 16bit max.
Check out this: color depth

The checkerboard pattern happens when the screen redraws graphics when you resize it.
Zooming out to see a smaller view of a web page, there is a momentary checkerboard pattern behind the image, like the pattern denoting a transparent background in Photoshop. Normal and nothing to worry about. When I think about it, my HD2 showed a blank white background in this situation, not as good as I could not distinguish a page being redrawn and a web connection error giving me a blank page.

Samsung are leaders in the field of screen technology, no? Think about it. Who makes the best TV's? OLED screens are now becoming the TV industry choice of video monitors. They often cost over $10,000. Broadcast engineers are not likely to accept lower grade technology. In fact, LCD's are on the way out.
Don't believe the hype.
This device is amazing.

You can also use *#0*# to assess for banding, although I would believe banding to be common on a phone with greater resolution. The Galaxy S didn't have banding btw, unsure if that had to do with smaller resolution.
