    Which therfore just makes your comment bias wines

      Zenodroid, 05 Apr 20173k ? I hope you mean 2k. It is 3K. You should read the Displaymate review.

        Zenodroid, 05 Apr 20173k ? I hope you mean 2k. No. It's 3K now. And what you are referring to with 2k I'd 2.5k. Not 2k.
        2k is a hair above 1080p.

            VR needs *very* high ppi (around 800) and little ms pave between subpixels (RGB stripe).
            Samsung has none and refuses to fix that. As a result the image coming from gear VR is horrible and nausea inducing, despite the high resolution looks worse than desktop variants of VR.

            Samsung had the chance of fixing it for years (either use RGB, higher resolution , or both). Samsung hates VR and wants it to fail.

              Anonymous, 05 Apr 2017No! 4 generations in a row. Note 4: Generation 1 S6/Not... moreWhats wrong with Pentile? The ppi even increased in S8 despite being bigger. It is 3K display now. Why you so sceptic with VR? Does Samsung need to slab 4K display there to satisfy you?! If VR is so important you should had bought a dedicated VR device like HTC Vive or PSVR.

                Wondering how much sapple paid for that score.

                  Note 4: Generation 1
                  S6/Note 5: Generation 2
                  S7: Generation 3
                  S8: Generation 4

                  All QHD, all pentile. All garbage for VR. Samsung officially hates VR by making it awful for many years in a row.

                    Anonymous, 05 Apr 2017No, this is the best screen, I said it clearly. However it'... moreyou are wrong here. considering IT IS 4 years. it dates back to the S5. which offers only FHD screen. (the adreno 330 is certainly capable of QHD. look at LG G3 for that matter! since you are speaking about QHD. you mean just 3 years a row. not 4!

                      Like i said, these are physical tests which would be really easy to disprove.
                      There is no surprise that Apple is going to AMOLED.

                      If i was a fan of other brands that didn't have AMOLED i'd be angry at them not Samsung.

However it's not good for VR because pentile rendering is painful when seen through VR Goggles. It's a bit ironic that Samsung killed VR by basically patenting the best way to do mobile VR (in the form of gear VR) and then killing it by offering a relatively low res screen for 4 generations in a row!

                            VR needs 4k RGB as a minimum, and it know QHD pentile, 1.5 steps below the minimum non pixel ate view ... for 4 generations in a row! Samsung is funny sometimes.

                                      Basically the only good thing about S8.
                                      Still not a significantly improvement, same resolution, same pentile (s*cks for VR) and colours while better not by any important measure when compared to S7.

                                      So S8's crowing achievement s moderate at best. It still has less Ram and battery than many/most 2017 flagship (s), the same SoC (basically, since by May everybody would be using sd835) and the curse that is called Samsung UI.
