      [deleted post]They could have if they wanted, but is useless without possibility of having 4K and 120Hz same time.

      People interested in Xperia 4K do not want QHD nor FHD.
      Pointeless to have QHD 120Hz if none wants to use QHD.
      Why would someone buy Xperia 1 over Xperia 5? To use 4K.
      Those that do not need 4K screen are waiting for 5 ii ...

      Did you read about the fact the 120Hz modes decrease battery life by 20-30% ?
      Most used app on Earth is Chrome.
      If I can browse for 11h for example, why would I accept to be allowed to browse just 7h ?

      Easy to find on internet S20 users that battery is s*** on 120 compared to 60.
      Same will happen to OnePlus 8 Pro.

Its a sma... moreYeah I know you are discussing about the best smartphone display, but most of the reviews are a bit biased and a bit inaccurate. In statistics, a larger sample size is necessary for better accuracy. The reviews shouldn't be based on data from a single unit. (Not all phones are created equal)

        I never really liked OLED anyways. The pentile pixel arrangement makes the display quality appear less sharp than LCD. So higher pixel density, like Xperia 1 and 1II is needed to increase sharpness.

          The adapter I use
          https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FF63XZ9/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_aL0OEbEDDX3WC
          Displayport alt mode with charging (battery drains quickly without charging) Type c cable is not reversible (logo facing up)
          Note: Xperia 1 and Xperia 1II both support DP Alt mode, using this adapter on phones that don't support it (like XZP) will not work. you will also need a keyboard, mouse, (Bluetooth recommended) and a display

          The desktop mode is more like a tablet with windows than actual desktop. But you can open up a bunch of apps and use them simultaneously. I can have youtube playing while researching on chrome browser and have messaging app in the corner. Its kinda like a Chromebook, just more like a tablet.

          I like way Samsung designed their desktop mode on the Samsung Dex.

            Its a smartphone screen. Why does it have to be perfect?"

            >>> You are not following the discussion. I was replying to the guy that claimed its the "best", not just good.

            IPhone 11 pro Max, galaxy s10, ROG 2 all ahead of Xperia 1 display.
            The above fact is confirmed by multiple professional review sites.
            This doesn't mean that it's a bad display. It's good, but not the "best" and "perfect" as some delusional guys over here think.

              There's not much we can do to change things. We just gonna have to accept the consequences of accepting technological progress.

                I myself would gladly take an excellent LCD over oled on flagship mobile anytime.

                    wow i was totally forgot about docked mode.do they still offering that? last time i checked it's more like a tablet view, rather than having desktop feature such as multiple windows, file explorer, etc

                        why people want to watch 4k/8k content on 6 inches screen? is that really that much of the differences? is it really worth trade that awesome visual experience for lesser battery life?

                            It is organic, it will suffer degradation and oxidation as you use.
                            You cant prevent something organic to age.

                            Why do you think Sony and Samsung are putting so much money on microLED?

                              Also Xperia is the only mobile to provide accurate colours at any brigthness level. Reason why brightness is limited. In any case, who watches videos or images directly under the sun???

You also find videos in youtube, especially by japanese, that X1 indeed has the best Delta values and more accurate on any brightness level than other mobiles. I would suggest you to look on overall reviews in the internet, not just one who has bad set up. XDA clearly says they did not get 6500 on X1 while some got 6500 in the internet, read comments. So to me, the result is useless if calibration is not consistent. I go with the max capability of the screen Sony provides and I trust japanese more than these reviewers. Not to forget how DXO stopped giving high scores to sony camera as soon as Sony stopped sponsoring them.

                                  Good is all we need.
                                  Its a smartphone screen. Why does it have to be perfect?
                                  Also, according to the link you provided. The Xperia 1 display is manufactured by Samsung display co. S10 also uses Samsung display, They both use the same active matrix tech. They are just a little different in their own ways. They are both good screens and that's all that matters, Screens are always a lottery, they are all slightly different. The sample size is also too small.

                                  Having the perfect display only matters when you are spending over $500 (or even a thousand for professionals) on a computer monitor. But then, there are no OLED monitors besides that one from Asus.

This is actually a poor article, they deduct big points for small calibration errors (which have been fixed by software) and forget to add points for hardware. Which even they say is excellent. They complain that the 4k only works on certain applications. Surely if something works the same as every other phone 75% of the time but the other 25% is better. It shouldn't get complaints
