            AnonD-123936, 14 Mar 2013Absoltuly stupid of Samsung to make the siV as the previous... moreEven the black on Super Amoled it's inky black not even pure black, yellow looks orange,White doesn't looks that bright at all, some 3D intensive games has lot of pixels and looks bad cause of lower pixels density screen. this coming from owner of S3 and Note 2.

              Today Lcd screen have already surpass the amoled screen. Samsung still think it amoled is the best. Suck it. No sharpness in the amoled screen. The colour are not natural at all. Rubbish screen. I will go to xperia z or htc one. N btw. Dont judging the xperia screen have low contrast. Coz it had a screen protector right out of the box. Peel it off then judging it..

Is it just me?Your not the only one , i find the xperia z's display much sharper considering that 1080p pen tile = 720p RBG , plus i don't give a f&@# about blacks on the Z as long as it produces more natural colors , xZ ftw

                      Clearly xperia Z wins ,,,,S4 has nothing to offer new ...1080 isnt good with this ugly design(if it is true)
                      Samsung you fall this year !!! sory but Xperia and HTc are the best till now

                            "The Galaxy S IV is clearly the most pleasant screen out of the bunch."

                            It really doesn't look that way for me, it only looks darker than the rest.

                              why does XZ display looks better in all the images?
                              Is it just to me or to others also ?

                              S4 display looks overly saturated and extra-done contrasts! so much that you can't see the hair of the child in the pic, it all looks black.
                              Not so impressed with the display this time, Sammy.

                                    I don't know what the reviewer is looking at. The Sony looks the best to me, and especially in the last example where the reviewer states that the SIV is the "most pleasant". What a generic adjective. I challenge you to explain why it is better.
                                    I will never understand the comparision of screens with a picture taken with a camera as the basis for judgement. Nothing can replace getting your hands and eyes on the phones next to each other.

                                        Anonymous, 14 Mar 2013S4 has 1080p screen......what are you talking about?1080p pen tile = 720p. RGB
                                        So no s4 has an 720p display when compared with HTC one
