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.

      Good is all we need.
      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.

          But it is forced on us all by agressive marketing.
          So it is what it is, we have to live with it...

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

            But they are installing it no matter the implications and with no actuall scientific evidence of it being benign to animal life...

            Im not that vain a human.

            4G is enough for me.

              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?

                      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.

                            Anonymous, 24 Apr 2020Here's Xda giving your Xperia display a solid B+ while s10 ... moreB+ and A are good scores.
                            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

                                      720p still will look good on small 6 inch 3k/4k screen not so much on a 50inch 4k TV

                                      Selectively picking Samsung phones which give worst battery life as far as high refresh rate is concerned. Why not mention Redmi K30, ROG 2 and others?

                                      Nobody uses 120hz during videos unless you use Xreality engine like on Oppo which can be easily turned off. Besides, most of these phones let the AI dynamically adjust refresh rate according to content (not on S20 series out of the box but others manufacturers have this mode inbuilt)

                                      Besides, the whole point is about options.
                                      One can easily switch to outdated 60hz on 120hz refresh rate phones if they want to.
                                      Why Rob users opportunitiy of higher refresh rate?
                                      Sony could've easily given higher refresh rate at 3k,2k, FHD and kept it locked to 60hz @4k. Nobody likes being locked down of choices like IPhone.

                                        Huge difference between Oled on TVs and smartphones.
                                        Burn ins happen on cheaply made Oled.
                                        Been Using Samsung phones for years, never had problems with burn in.

                                        I'll rather trust displayMate than some random brand boy on the Internet who has no clue about mobile Oled displays.
