      I would have thought that the AMOLED would be much better with sight problems as it offers far better contrast.

                      [deleted post]Paid for is not true, well at least not paid for more than other companies. They do not do the tests for free, the equipment to perform said tests is very expensive, as is the time of the people who do the work.

                      Apple also send phones to this company to be tested as they all want the same, to be named best! All companies inc Samsung, LG and Apple will all be held to the same / approx contractual terms, either DisplayMate can keep the phones and sell them at a later date or pay a price to have the tests done. I do not know how it works but they are supplied the phones, they are not being given it with a suitcase full of money and told to lie.

                      If that were to leak, no company could hope to defend against the outcry and PR nightmare that would follow. Besides, they show the graphs, they test all devices in the same way to be fair, you do not become a industry name, said to be trusted, by faking it.

                      This kind of post highlights the stupid people in the world from the reasonable, who would claim in a single sentence without proof or attempt to defend their point, that something is fake based on their own naive, uninformed opinion. We should all learn to use common sense and avoid listening to those who would expect you to take their word as gospel without even attempting to explain their train of thought.

                      Ohhh, and if they hide under the alias of Anonymous, well......

                            Aspros, 05 Apr 2017is the HDR premium any better than G6's HDR 10? How did th... moreI read the entire Displaymate test and did not see any mention that the S8 beat the S8+.

                            I could have missed it as I was not all there while reading it. However, I would assume that if it did indeed get beaten, it would only be a result of the S8 having a higher PPI due to screen size, the colour and brightness should be identical due to the IC and tech being identical.

                            This brings me on to my own point, IC vs Software App will be far better as it will not sacrifice CPU cycles to deal with a higher number of pixels to control as an IC is used to offload the strain, this should in theory have a benefit on battery life as an IC should draw less power than a software app due to it being built to do a very specific task.

                                S4 was rated as 1 of the best
                                S5 was very good too.

                                When it comes to displays no LCD can tocuh Samsungs superior AMOLED displays.

                                Now it makes sense why Apple wants them so bad :D
