Contrast (true blacks)

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

How well do you know your fifty shades of grey? Rate this thread to express how good the Samsung Galaxy S8+'s display contrast is. A higher rating indicates that black is true black, rather than a very dark gray.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Maybe I think it need to have smoother transition on dark videos, like degradation on dark areas.

This.

I was actually noticing this very much recently whilst watching Supernatural. If you know the series you know much of it takes place in the dark so the DEEP blacks can look brilliant on this device but often times it can also be too much. Degradation would definitely help. I played around with the Video Enhancer option using Netflix and MX Video Player Pro but didn't notice any major differences in picture brightness where the blacks are concerned.

But I prefer the trade-off of having the deepest blacks to that grey-heavy LCD stuff any day.

On my old S7 Edge the screen was beautifull, I am not saying that the one on S8 is not.... the only con on this screen is that. yes I know supernatural and does videos have to much dark.
Well at least I am not the only one.

when I set the screen to AMOLED Cinema it improves a bit.

I love watching movies on this phone. The screen is absolutely beautiful.
