LG G3 review: Dream catcher

06 June 2014
Late as usual but ever so strong. In an industry where timing is almost as important as quality, LG's highly anticipated G3 flagship makes landfall in the second half of 2014, a couple of months after the flagships of the other major players. Such a late...

The screen on the G3 is no where near terrible by any means. No matter what region.
The screen on it there is probably identical to all versions.

Now 1 thing I've noticed is that even the S4's are starting to have the bluish whites. Look them up yourselves! Do you upgrade your smartphone every 6 months to keep up with time or for their full potential usage?

You must have been using a lot of 100% brightness setting on your display in question. That definitely can accelerate the degradation of blue the most. That is OLED's weakness apart from white dominated power consumption.

        If you are regularly using 50% brightness you can increase the lifespan to about 5-6 years. But 2 years and you are noticing the degradation already that's pretty bad. Curious, what phone did you notice this on?
