Weekly poll results: flat AMOLED displays with high refresh rates strongly preferred

12 June 2022
There is no clear consensus on the best resolution - FHD+ is slightly more popular than QHD+, but both options have many proponents.

It is saddening for those of us who physically cannot use these devices, because we are left with very few choices in a marketplace almost entirely populated with OLED panels. I currently use a Nokia 8 from 2017 and am desperately trying to find replacement without success.

        I use Nokia 8 too, mine also has the burn in issue, it's a very common fault with this phone. The display panel is manufactured by LG. It became so bad on mine that I decided to purchase a new LCD replacement. The replacement was fine for a few months, but now it has developed the same burn in issue as before. So it seems there is no solution... I'm now looking to buy a different phone.

          Bebochekov, 13 Jun 2022It shouldn't be more than a $100He's right though. I have the same problem with my S8+. The lowest price for a touchscreen display is 150 Euro without including the price of the work done. And this price is from a shady mobile service, not from Samsung. What's worse is that the price for a brand new S8+ was the same as the original price since it was launched up until the last few months! For a 5 year old phone!
          Maybe in the US prices go down after a few months, but in Europe it takes years! Not to mention Europe has higher prices and taxes than the rest of the world.
          Meanwhile, Samsung is also mocking Europe with the infamous Exynos CPU which is 30% less capable than the SnapDragon CPU in terms of processing, battery life, performance etc.

My Samsung Note8 currently suffered from screen burn-in issues and needs a screen replacement. I already asked a number of repair shops about the original screen panel and guess what? It'll cost me $250 to do the replacement. No thanks, I'll keep connecting the phone to my external monitor and use it as my DeX machine.

I do have a smartphone with QHD+ resolution but I see little benefit of use for it, which is why I only use FHD+ resolution all the time.

                              I went to bed watching a TV series, fell asleep and probably accidentally set the brightness to max in VLC (swipe up/down for brightness/volume). In the morning, the phone was burning hot (I kinda got scared because of how hot it was) and could definitely see the residue left by the subtitles on the right side of the display. Almost the same thing happened with YouTube.

                              Colors are slightly accentuated to easily see the burn-ins.

Don't be a loser and spend more on a monitor that requires a beefier graphics card just to keep up with a cheaper 1080p set up if you don't feel he need for it. Now coming back to phones, i had 1440p phones and i have to say that it is overkill, 1080p is enough. I literally have an s21Ultra and i set it to full HD to get more battery. QHD on phones is a bad joke.
