A good quality IPS LCD has its advantages. Especially in white tones. AMOLED in the case is basically a lottery.

At the same resolution (pixel density), IPS screens provide a much better experience.
AMOLED displays appear to be much more pixelated.
I had 2 phones with low pixel density (below around 290 ppi), and the IPS screen was much more enjoyable to use. (Moto G7 Play vs Samsung A20)
Also, I had 2 phones with high pixel density (above 400 ppi), and the IPS screen was great, I couldn't notice the pixels. On the other hand, on the AMOLED screen I can notice the pixels at using distance (Zenfone 3 Max vs Samsung a52s)

AMoled display screen is always problematic, twice I had to get the display changed as it starts becoming pink and then dark, ultimately abandon the phone, LCD displays are more durable

This is what I think and like, my name is Jerry btw and I'm from. The US. I've had all types of smartphones. Ive had some with really good IPS LCD screens. I've also had some phones with Amoled displays. And I'm sorry. I LOVE my Amoleds. Right now I am using a Motorola Nexus 6 with a quad HD AMOLED display and it is just absolutely amazing. The vibrance and warm colors and infinite blacks on the AMOLED, beat out the display on my Moto g7 power, which is an IPS LCD panel LIKE ANYDAY. The Nexus 6 also has a 1440p display compared to a 720p on the g7. For me, there is just something so amazingly vivid and clear about a phone with a high res Amoled than a phone with IPS LCD. Don't get me wrong though. There are really good IPS panels like the essential phone had a very nice and colorful IPS lcd. But overall I will always want phone with an Amoled, it just kind of changes my entire smartphone experience somehow. I love to look a HD wallpapers and black outter space pictures much better.

Is nobody aware of amoled's hidden flickering? Nobody says anything about PWMs? (pulse width modulation? Deep blacks are good in amoleds but everything else is better in a IPS LCD

I'd like to see some factual evidence to support your claim as I've showed you mine. If you can't, then don't even speak to your betters like this ever again.

imRGZ, 08 Aug 2017Yeah, people are really blind if they don't buy your burn i... moreI had the most minor possible burn-in on an old school Galaxy Wave, visible on grey background (the easiest to spot). That was 8 generations of OLED ago.
Having used the S6 for almost 2.5 years now, there is 0 burn in, and I was quite paranoid and did the burn-in test with greyscale slideshows etc. As a side note, I was also worried about the battery, as it's built in and I'm at around 800 cycles in, but that thing is really holding on much better than expected, being at almost 80% of original capacity, and that's after 2.5 years, including last year of Pokemon Go, lol. Those things are much more durable than I had expected.
Back to subject matter, I would never go back to LCD, sadly, no matter how great the phone is otherwise. It's just too big of a deal to go back to. I don't care if it's Samsung or anyone else, it just has to have a modern OLED screen.

AnonD-261377, 07 Aug 2017There are LG amoled screens that use AMOLED as single pixel... moreYeah, people are really blind if they don't buy your burn in theory. I couldn't find any burn in or whatever degradation a screen can have in 28 months of heavy usage of S6E.... I faced only one issue with its screen.... Lack of screen protectors... So i won't buy your theory that all Samsung's AMOLEDS get burn in within few months. My iphone's motherboard died after 15 months of heavy usage, so can i use your same logic and say all iPhones will have motherboard issues and they will die within few months so no one should buy it or they are Inferior? LOL. If your phone has an issue get it replaced or if you do not like AMOLEDs, then don't buy.

only quality matters and here is why, I used a OP 3 and thought wow finally amoled and then that phones' display was utterly trashed by even samsungs old S5 display, now I use a Quantum dot display on my XZ Premium and the difference is night and day, the LCD outclasses the amoled in every way, but then again samsungs S8 display would be better than my Sony display, it's not depending on which technology but the quality of the display

When I and some of my friends prefer using LCD cause they are smoother than AMOLED it shows a technical downside of this technology. Some people are more sensitive to screen flickering than others and even a Galaxy S7 screen appears to me like a low resolution LCD. I really hope that future AMOLED will be better in this regard. Don't believe everything you read. Trust your own eyes.

I selected "Only Quality matters", because a mobile phone is not just display, its a collection of other tech aspects too. You can never get the right setup in one phone.
I like AMOLED, but suppose other features are better in a phone with LCD, then what?
So, its not a priority. Quality should be there though, as per the segment.

LCD for me. Because it is more durable and colours are natural.
