    For our consideration
    PLS panel called Plane to Line Switching, the driving method is that all electrodes are located in the same plane, the use of vertical and horizontal electric field drive liquid crystal molecular motion, Samsung launched.

    In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology is Hitachi's liquid crystal panel technology introduced in 2001, commonly known as "Super TFT."

    Contrast conclusion:

    1, you can see the PLS panel in the color coverage to be better than the IPS panel, which mainly in the red and pink saturation is better than the IPS panel.

    2, in terms of color, PLS than the IPS panel to provide more saturated red color, so overall PLS panel performance to be superior.

    But also depends on the main purpose of your monitor is what to buy, such as just playing the game, then the effect of PLS and IPS almost the advantages of PLS can not come out, if the often rendering or watching HD video, PLS has its uses.

      Why Samsung M series have cheap price
      LCD (IPS AND TFT) - LCD means Liquid Crystal Display. LCD screens are made up of an array of liquid crystals which get illuminated by a back-light. They require less power and hence, they are very popular on portable devices such as mobile phones. LCDs also tend to perform quite well in direct sunlight, as the entire display is illuminated from behind, so they are ideal for smartphones.
      There are two main types of LCD: TFT and IPS.
      i) TFT stands for Thin Film Transistor, an advanced version of LCD that uses an active matrix. Active matrix means that each pixel is attached to a transistor and capacitor individually. The advantage of having TFT displays is that they have a high contrast ratio and have low production cost, thus lowering the price of your device. However, they do not have good viewing angles and impressive color reproduction.
      ii) IPS stands for In-Plane Switching and it is a further improvement on TFT LCDs. The way the crystals are electrically excited on them is different and the orientation of the crystal array is rotated. This orientation change improves viewing angles, contrast ratio and color reproduction. Energy consumption is also reduced compared to TFT LCDs. Because IPS LCDs tend to be better than TFT LCDs, they are also more expensive when put on a smartphone.

              Rayne , 05 Feb 2019To difference it from the A series. Or this will be too goo... moreA series should use OLED in the first place, why, because if anyone who want to make midranger line up with OLED, it supposedly samsung because they make it, i believe they had many OLED yield that aren't up to flagship standard but OK for midrange.

                  This phone is amazing. If you want to get "better", must a lot or money throw up. What have "betters, more expensive" phones better? Do you use theirs options? Do you really need theirs options? This phone can run any app, any game, have a lot of options, 64gb is enough for everything. Peoples, think about that

                  This phone is much better than past flagships, they still working perfect. For example S4. So, think what you really need, not what you except from one phone. No one phone is perfect

                    Can the bootloader be unlocked ?
                    I mean can you flash custom recovery and ROMs on this device?
                    Has anyone tried doing that?
                    Any idea?

                                    I don't know anybody buying Samsung phones anymore...and when they come up at last with a good one against the chineses, it is not available in most countries. How clever is that.

                                        For all the guys who are debating over IPS vs PLS displays,
                                        PLS (Plane to Line Switching) are quite similar to IPS panels, so much so that they have the same advantages and disadvantages, with a couple extra minor advantages. PLS is produced by Samsung, who claims that compared to IPS panels, PLS panels have better viewing angles, a 10% increase in brightness, 15% decrease in production costs, increased image quality, and allow for flexible panels. Samsung’s PLS panels have been known to overclock well in monitors such as the QNIX 2710 in particular. Overall, PLS is basically Samsung’s version of IPS, as it is very similar in functionality (and even name)

                                        Those samsung claims maybe not true. But it is proven that there is not much difference between PLS and IPS.
