        On the other hand, LG's TV marketing is sky rocketing. Lol.

          It does not have a wide color gamut. Even some LCDs have higher sRGB and DCI-P3 values.
          It does not have the lowest DELTA values.

          DM is more bias than DxO

            Dual edge of Samsung is poled too, but better quality.

            All oled for mobile are am-OLED.

            The sAmoled is just a business name like Retina screen and Triluminos

              Dear LG, learn how to use the screen..

              LG sells oled for Sony, the Bravia A1E has better image than oled TVs from LG.
              LG makes the LCD of XZ2 Premium, image is far better than G7.
              LG uses oled on newer V series, results are not better than Samsung S4.

                      Lg still makes great LCD's especially those new RGBW matrix ones. Plus it even offers always on.OLED's are good but I still love lcd because the replacement is much cheaper unless it's an iPhone.

                        Stupid LG sells ghost screen oled panels to everyone-_-

                              There is a complete lack of OLED normal sized under 6inch phones apart from Samsung, we need more choice more 5.8ish oled screen phones, oled better for my eyes than lcd.

                                You know what the problem with LG. They barely even use oled in their own smartphone. Release more oled phone instead of using LCD. How hard is it to make one model entirely of oled. Look at Galaxy A series all superamoled now. Galaxy C series too. Even J series use superamoled. LG is just lazy at implementing things. Not even planning to expand their oled factory. Only after Apple throw in some money they start doing something.

                                      No wonder, LG its plastic oled is horrid in comparison to samoled, at least in phones. It's plagued by all types of defects, even in the Pixel and V30. They should either try and copy samoled or only focus on the TV market

                                        iPhone X display is rated as the world's best "display", display in the sense the best out of the best display ever!!! Like all the displays out there iPhone X display ea the best

                                        I don't know how LG will compare to last year's Samsung iPhone X display, it will be extremely challenging, but let's see, only 1 and a half months for next iPhone Launch
