Display mode of choice?

Just wandering what screen mode everyone is using? I have it on the professional/adobe one at the mo but I don't have any scope for comparison. Could someone who by chance also has an iphone tell me which one is most 'accurate.'?

Also, why I'm here, do people's gs4 have raised sides as opposed to the flush ones on the gs3?

I don't think whether accurate or not is not so important. The color is very comfortable, wonderful for the eyes which nobody complains so far, that's it.
Even most of people using S4 use Standard mode, not professional mode.

I don't have a gs4 but I think movie mode is the most accurate. Also if it does have raised edges that's a good thing because it means the edge will hit the ground first instead of the screen. My Droid Charge (gs1) has this, and it has survived every face down drop, although the raised edges are pretty dented.

Movie mode is most accurate, and that is what I use.

Does anyone else feel that that mode is waaaaaaaaay desaturated compared to standard? I've been using standard but i heard movie mode is most accurate so i'm trying that but wow.. what is your take on it guys. Is that really how other screens lcd screens look like?

I use Movie Mode, it's by the most accurate and pleasing to the eye.

Yes it is a lot more de-saturated than standard mode but only because standard is disgustingly over saturated!

Use movie mode for a few days and you'll love it, then change to anything else and it'll look horrible.

P.S I have a colour calibrated Mac and Movie mode is still more saturated than my Mac screen.

I did not like it at first, but as you said: once you get used to it you'll never go back. :)

I also let my phone decide and leave it on adapt. Colours look amazing to me (can't help but love the screen overall) I may try movie mode for a few days now after reading these posts.
