Why I hate the screen brightness on this phone

[blackguy101]

So I made this thread in the international forum by mistake so I figured id just make a separate one in the US forum

"So I have this phone on VZW and I love it. Recently I just got bored one day and decided to just crank up the phone to full brightness just to see what it was like....for the love of God my eyes had a mini orgasim!. It looks amazing! Now the reason I hate this is because I know full brightness is a huge battery killer and plus will drastically increase my chances on having a burn in =/ im so use to having my 4 hour screen time yet i know if i keep my phone like this my battery wil tank big time =/"

So I guess my main question is, is there currently anyone that runs their phone on full brightness? If so what kind of battery time are you getting on average along with screen on time?

I had 32% on 11hrs 38min off battery and 2hrs 56min of screen time before i put it back on the charger (work from home) but thats the best I've gotten. I hate auto brightness and always run at full.

I use a brightness widget and keep it at 25% most of the time. Lasts almost all day if I am not playing games.
Outside and when showing it off 100%.
At night (when the wife is sleeping) 0% is too bright. That's my only complaint.

Download screen filter from the market. Complaint gone

Played with the SGS3 in the Verizon store...I used the settings app to turn the brightness up to Max and compared to my nexus..I noticed the nexus was brighter? Can anyone else confirm this?

I don't know how you can stand looking at the screen on full brightness. For me, even back to my Fascinate, the SAMOLED(+)(HD) screens have been painfully bright (I get haloing on the white areas in particular) at 100%.

Also: SAMOLED(+)(HD) screens are artificially limited to 200nits to preserve the tiny little LEDs that make up the screen. They're actually capable of MUCH brighter, but that drastically reduces their lifetime/consistency.

i made a tasker task, that chages brightness to my needs.

typically if im plugged in (AC or USB) its full bright & never turns off....great stuff

You must have a setting or something else going on, since it is plenty bright even at 50% and silly bright at 100%.

The first demo at a local VZW had a brightness issue as well, but they corrected it, or replaced it. Can't remember. Even at 100%, it was too dim.

I don't ever remember reading anything about "tiny little LEDs" in my research of AMOLED technology. It is exactly what the name states, an "Active Matrix" of "Organic" compounds that respond to electrical impulses by emitting light. Sorry if I'm coming off like a **ck, not trying to, just sayin...

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. At what point is one element of an AMOLED screen NOT a "tiny little LED"? If you want to argue that we're not looking at discrete LEDs like you would find blinking away on the front of your computer, or even the indicator LED on the S3 and GNex, then yes, but you're pushing semantics much farther than the original point of my post, which was to note that the screen is kept at a maximum brightness that is much lower than the capabilities of the elements that make up the screen.
