I don't see it, even on the pics posted in this page... What are we supposed to see exactly ? Confused...
LG please do not need to artificially increase the saturation and sharpness

If you had the phone you would know what we are talking about haha. Its very noticeable. Anyways has anyone tried getting in contact with LG about the sharpening?
Sharpening is there to increase the contrast between light and dark edges...
Basically, where you have dark text on a light (but not pure white) background, over sharpening causes the dark text to have a noticeable white "glow", or "halo" around the edges of the individual letters.
If you look at dhkx's second picture at full size you can see that the background is off-white, then there's a pixel or two of bright white before the black pixels that make up the text. It's particularly obvious on text with straight edges:
As you can see, it only really happens left to right, the flat tops of the "W" are fine, and have no bright white pixels between the black text and the background.

that is an amazing example. thank you for taking the time to do this post
I got the phone today and immediately upon turning it on remarked to myself "What the hell is with the sharpening?"
It's a 4K display. in no way shape or form does it need extra sharpening. Applying something like that globally across your whole screen is basically a cardinal sin in imagery in my opinion.
Whether you notice it or not, it's been proven that they're doing it. And many many of us find it super annoying.
I hope LG will fix it preferably, or at least the talented programmers in the development scene. I would toss another $50-$100 at this problem for a fix right now. My eyesight isn't even great and it bugs the crap out of me to the point of preferring my G2 display.

I recently posted this on another thread, but for an obvious example, set your wallpaper to the built in photo of a mountain range. Move some icons to the top of your home screens and look at the app labels. It hurts my eyes.
Then load up arstechnica.com in your browser.
It's absolutely horrible. Why would you apply these effects to what should be an amazing screen? I just traded my HTC m7 in for this phone and I'm so sad.
I heard about this effect around icons before buying this phone. But the default wallpaper, the one with the blue background, completely conceals it.

Right, sorry. Quad HD is 1440 x 2560 which is a 2k resolution.
While I'm correcting myself: Its technically called WQHD (Wide Quad High Definition) what a mouthful!
Hate to break it to you guys but its even in TWRP on my D851. So its a hardware/driver implementation. No simple AOSP ROM will fix this. I'm returning my device for a G2.
You are right... but the Yoga 2 Pro is also marketed towards professionals who sometimes need accurate color. I was VERY excited to see the high resolution display on that machine, but deep disturbed with the quality when I absolutely need precision color control in the work that I do. People who want/need those resolutions and displays are often graphics, photography, or web professionals... and the Yoga 2 Pro just doesn't cut it
.... sadly I am still in the search for a high resolution laptop that isn't a Macbook Pro (I am not of fan of Apple).Hopefully we will be able to make the G3 shine, and lets hope for better displays on future "Pro" series laptops!
Yes people should be the judge, but I am a fan of calibration tests. Precision makes a big difference for some groups.
