Today we met with an acquaintance who told me that he didn’t really like the displays from Samsung, in particular, because his eyes get tired of reading them for a long time. The problem is common, so I decided to discuss it with you.
I myself went through a full cycle of various emotions to AMOLED – matrices from purely positive to neutral-negative. My first smartphone with Super AMOLED – display – Samsung Galaxy S2, this is practically the only model that lacked PenTile, but at the same time all the advantages AMOLED of matrices were preserved: bright and rich colors, high maximum brightness and perfect blacks. After S2, I moved with great caution to the first generation Galaxy Note, because it already had the notorious PenTile. But the smartphone itself turned out to be so cool for its time that I did not even notice the PenTile present. But in Note 2, the situation was different. It used a special arrangement of pixels 'ColorTile' from which my eyes were terribly tired, and although I really liked the smartphone itself, I could not use it on an ongoing basis. Then there was a transition to Note 3, where the problem with PenTile was solved simply: by increasing the display resolution. But the trained eye already sees these tiny greenish rims and there is nothing to be done about it. Plus, Samsung does not give anyone their own image processing algorithms to anyone, so when third-party manufacturers use AMOLED – displays, it turns out to be a sad situation, remember the same YotaPhone 2 or Huawei Nexus 6P , in which there were too poisonous and dirty colors (in my opinion). At the same time, I can use the same Galaxy S6 or Note 5 without much discomfort, in which there are no such problems (and with their PPI, even PenTile is difficult to see there).
Summing up: for me AMOLED – displays are relevant only in top-end Samsung devices, colors look dirty on devices from other manufacturers. As for PenTile, it is a matter of attentiveness and irritability. Someone sees him, someone does not. He annoys someone, someone does not. What do you say, dear readers? How do you deal with AMOLED displays, PenTile and 'dirty' colors? In the comments, do not forget to indicate the devices on the basis of which you have these or those conclusions.
