Hanif Fikri, 15 Feb 2024Also pwmPWM (Pulse-Width Modulation):
S24U= 492Hz which slightly beats iP15PM @ 480Hz, & more than doubles my S23U @ 240Hz.

Just got a reply from Samsung on the grainy/mura effect. Its not good news.
Hi [X]. Thank you for your patience while we investigated your Error Report. The AMOLED display applied on the Galaxy S24 series devices uses the self-lighting of each pixel, and it displays the screen by adjusting the current flowing on each pixel. It has a characteristic (benefit) which allows it to display very dark areas that LCD can’t express.
Recently, some feedback that noise or stains are visible on some Galaxy S24 series device is a phenomenon that appears according to the difference in brightness occurring in some pixel areas when displaying the screen in very dark environments, and it is a unique characteristic shown in most AMOLED components. This is not a product defect.
In particular, some areas of the AMOLED display may show differences in brightness and colour depending on the characteristics of fine currents flowing through each pixel when using the device in a low-light environments, and this may cause the appearance of noise or stains. To reduce the phenomenon, please try changing the display mode to ‘Light’ mode. (Settings > Display > then select the ‘Light’), or adjust the display brightness via Settings > Display > Adjust the Brightness slider to your preference.
We hope this helps, however if you should require further assistance then please hit Ask Again to get back in touch. ^AL

AlienNextDoor, 15 Feb 2024The truth is out guys. S24 has a faulty screen.
There�... moreThe mura effect /grainy image is cause by a lack of brightness uniformity between pixels It could be an hardware issue but we still don't know for sure.
Could you please explain what "...Samsung boosting whites and lowering rgb colours" means since the screen it's not a WOLED but RGB Oled creen ?

I have just send back my new S24+ and ask for refund, because screen looks like shit when I compare it with my S20+ screen.
Compared to the s20+ the whole phone feels kind of cheap. Unfortunately, I think Samsung is going in a wrong direction with the price-quality ratio. 👎

Hanif Fikri, 15 Feb 2024Also pwmAll OLEDs have PWM sadly. We'll need to wait for MicroLED to see an improvement on that front.

[deleted post]laziness and greed, it's easier to not do much and not allow anyone to f*ck up. Additionally it's easier to make it seem like newer things are better as old ones can't be recalibrated since inevitably they'll lose their calibration as time goes on.

As a fan of the old AMOLED Cinema and Photo modes I think that this is perfect. I hope that they bring this slider to other phones so we can have an middle option between natural and vivid.

The truth is out guys. S24 has a faulty screen.
There's mura all over it. The oled pixels don't uniformly lower brigthness, hence it causes the dreaded mura effect. It's a physical defect and can't be fixed via update.
The "new natural" colours are due to Samsung boosting whites and lowering rgb colours. This can be fixed via update. Another issue is banding, but that can also be fixed via update. However, there's yet another issue, 3 green lines being presebt under microsocope and for some to the naked eye. It's yet to be determined whether it's the flat cable or graphics driver.
S24 is a flop.

We should be able to alter the algorithm so as to change how much sharpness, saturation, contrast, shadow boosting and exposure the camera usually defaults to. If not such granular controls then at least something like Vivo's Zeiss Natural, Vivid and Textured would be much appreciated.
