Personally I don't care for color shift even ... moreI think I see what you're getting at now.All optical surfaces for about the last 100 years or so have had anti-glare or anti-reflection coatings on them,this isn't some conspiracy by mobile phone makers to fool their customers into thinking they've got something they haven't.The reading glasses I'm wearing while typing this give me a perfect white view of the white box I'm typing into,if I take them off and look across the lenses I see the green/blue/purple tint you see on all optical surfaces.

Maybe SAMOLED+ is di... moreOnly on an all white screen at about 60 deg or more off axis is there is the VERY SLIGHTEST hint of a blue tinge.On normal everyday use looking on axis (don't forget on small handheld devices we can ALWAYS move them about to view perfectly on axis)there is no visible colour shift.The tinge only appears when you get so far off axis you can't read what's on the display anyway,so I don't understand why so many people are complaining about a problem that isn't actually a problem when you use the device normally?

AnonD-49280, 13 May 2012Because that's the way all backlit displays such as IPS LCD... moreI understand that AMOLED should not change colour by theory, but it still does. And not even at such angle so you "looking it from edge".
As I said, I suspect it because of this anti-reflective polarizers that Samsung use. They give this bluish tint at angle, not AMOLEDs by themeselves.

Emmissive displays such as the AMOLED family have all their tiny LEDs designed to give off as much light as possible even when viewed from a LONG way off axis,the same way as domestic TVs with plasma screens which are just lots of tiny neon bulbs.

Anonymous, 13 May 2012because we all look at our phone screens at a sharp angleIt doesn't explain why IPS LCD is not the same. It turns "darker" at same angle, but does not change colours.
I suspect it something to do with polarizers Samsung uses in their Super AMOLED.

Anonymous, 12 May 2012Pentile phones cost more to to produce than RGB.I want to call BS on your comment and sight multiple sources, but this is all I could really dig up.

Please enlighten us all with better information if this is incorrect.
I have a hard time believing a technology that produces higher yields of a product cost more to produce each unit versus a lower yield of a superior product.

We don't want long lasting displays. They just need to last long enough till your next flagship comes out, that is - a year tops.
