Weekly poll: what makes a great screen?

26 November 2017
And we're not talking about AMOLED vs. LCD - anything that has great contrast is okay in our book. But what other characteristics are needed?

            S-AMOLED 1080p with 16.9 ratio and great contrast. No 2k or 4k totally unnecessary and no LCD.

              Here's a good explanation. All AMOLED screens have it (Or there will be a bad burn-in, as far as i've read) and at lower frequency than any other. Few LCDs in phone use it, but at higher frequencies and usually at very low brightness only.

                Razer phone with a better camera and more options or bigger base storage is my definition of the best phone

                    Firstly, best screen size is 5.5 inch amoled display with 534 dpi pixel density, 1080p resolution, 16.9 ratio minimal bezels is just perfect and great.

                        2x more people have voted for accurate colors .
                        But I am willing to bet that If there would be a poll about what color more people use in their current smartphone a lot more than 50 percent would answer the default mode (which is often made with over saturated colors to look more pleasing)

                        I voted for punchy colors, sunlight legibility and power efficiency . This is basically the AMOLED recipe and it works .

                          Actually size does matter too. I wouldn't compromise with a screen less than 5.5 16:9 (Aspect ratio matters too. I'd never buy a 18:9 unless i don't have a choice).
