The Truth About AMOLED vs LCD

- Today I look at the LG G2, the HTC One and Galaxy S4 to show what manufacturers do to compete with Amoled. Thank you www.negrielectronics.com What about Triluminos and Quatum dot displays? See here: • Xperia Z Ultra: What i...
**This video tells you about Samsung SCREEN MODES: • Galaxy S4 ALL YOU NEED...
NOTE: STANDARD MODE on the S4 is the only mode that is decently calibrated and worth mentioning. Movie mode emulates sRGB but the colors look awful!
All over the web I see that bloggers and many media channels say that LCD is more natural/accurate than amoled. It can be, but my measurements tell another story.

Great video. But, you missed the most important aspect of an AMOLED. Near-zero black points giving it an almost infinite contrast ratio...
***** but not deep enough
Yet, an amoled gives a 0 black.
Fine.
I know right? I can barley tell when my Lumia is on at times because I'm watching a dark video.
Lel. I bought an S7. Love the amoled. Goregous 1440p amoled.
"This content is not meant to cause envy"
Her job is already enough to cause to cause me envy.
Please see the link in the description or the annotation in my video to see how the color mode measurements turned out. They are not good and I show you why without a shadow of a doubt.
I can't quite understand why you are stating LG and HTC are trying to make their displays look like AMOLED. They are simply trying to give a perfect viewing experience. Oh wait, I forgot, anything that ISN'T Samsung, must be copying Samsung. Right?
Both LCD and AMOLED suck, CRT for the win!!
Crt monitors get burn in fastert than amoled
I seriously laughed out loud after reading that. XD
I am building a "rift" with a CRT
You all fail to realize that Etch-a-Sketch displays are absolutely, hands-down, the best displays in existence.
Spoony Spooner BWAHAHAHA, AMOLED worse than CRT? BWAHAHAHA
I prefer this girl to any other display technology (OLED included) today.
lollllllllllll
nah, she talks way too much.
I have a solution for that, but wont tell... ;)
@@Saturnthroughstars Lol......thats what I say!!!!!!
Please see the link to Jessica's store in my description.
Erica, this video is fantastic!! I wish other channel's would go this in-depth and do such a professional job tackling the technical subjects of smartphones. I always feel excited when I learn something new like I just did from your video.
amoled wins for me.
It's a superior technology. For me the only down side is that it burns out. Still, I love the screen of my Note 5.
To Athánatos All problems are fixable, and so are burn-in's. Look around on youtube a bit for a solution and you will most likely find it
To Athánatos lcd burns in too when using still images long time. thats why computer screens has screensaver.
Iceman 75 that's not with LCD.
It's those CRT monitors that screen savers were designed for.
Amoled displays are awesome for multimedia
Movies like batman with lots of dark background look absolutely gorgeous on them
Once you get used to those colours LCDs just dont cut it
Only where LCDs are better is during web browsing but only marginally
But movies games photos look absolutely gorgeous on amoled
Exactly,the only downfall to AMOLED displays is displaying black text on a pure white background (internet browsing) because it uses a pentile matrix where green sunpixels can effect the area around the black text
Lucas Chermont but that can't match true blacks on AMOLEDs because blacks on LCD's still supported by a backlight LED which makes blacks somehow whiter or washed
On AMOLEDs individual pixels are turned off when displaying blacks ;)
Lucas Chermont I understand your point. But for some big TV screens, some companies put LCD dynamic contrast on by default. I really dislike that. I don't like that they dim the back light for darker black... Just a personal preference like Erica said...
agreed. just get cyanogenmod and install a black theme and you're good to go.
+sebastian fox yeah, and screen burn.
An updated version of the same topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
You are the most animated person I've ever seen in my life.
Makes your videos that much more enjoyable!
Every display is an AMOLED if you're high enough
I personally love the over saturated colors of Amoled. Natural LCD is boring and flat like real life. I love bright colors .
I started watching this video thinking, " Lets see what this girl could possibly tell me about screen technology." Me being a screen enthusiast i must say, even though i knew about everything you said, you did an absolutely fantastic job of explaining your points and am hugely impressed. Will you marry me?
You're awesome Erica! The most professional and accurate info on youtube, you freaking rock girl!
As of Galaxy S5, you can customise your colours in the settings menu. Amoled all the way!
Anything seems juz ok to normal users..
you couldn't be more right lol.
Wow just discovered you and your channel, through the moto g videos... Since I'm a viusal artist and a nerd myself, your really indepth videos about the screens are soooo precious and informative... You just got a new subscriber nice lady! Reeaaaly enjoying the depth of your content!
Amazing presentation. I love the attention to detail. I know it's been said before, but no one has the same level of details in their reviews on youtube. You clearly have a talent! :)
I love the punchy colors of amoled. It makes everything look more alive and nicer to look at.
Yup! AMOLED's lively colors don't make me bored when simply staring at the screen to admire it. When i get bored, i just stare at my screen and simply admire my handset.
am i the only one here who loves the way samsung WAY over saturates the images? i love having really bright colors that jump out at me.
Your videos are awesome, Erica Griffin. Very accurate and good explanations. I always forward your videos to people when I want them to get more information on a specific topic. Thanks for your awesome work!
Great work Erica you explain everything in very detail...I love watching your videos. ..
there's default/movie/natural setting in the samsung options. default is over saturated, movie is over saturated less, natural is just about right. burn in? stop running it so bright and turn screen off when not in use. 18mnth old phone no burn in.
OLED displays are superior in my opinion because not only can you get better power consumption, but you are able to calibrate the display to get 'natural' colors, as well as have the option to make colors ultra vibrant. Basically, OLED displays give you more options than LCD displays.
Love your detailed reviews. I'm learning a lot. Thanks!!
As usual, your video rocks! I learn so much from you! When are you going to post your detailed review of samsung note 3? I'm dying to buy it but I want to hear your professional review first. :)
I was a fan of AMOLED screens until I experienced burn in! If there is one thing I hate more than dead pixels, its burn in! Don't think I will ever own another AMOLED display!
waht did you do to burn in your screen damn
Didn't do a thing. Its just the way the android GUI is designed. Because the status bar is black it leaves a blue mark at the top of the screen.
For me it was the black clippings/crush, watching a horror movie with dark scenery was almost completely pitch black
I've bought Nokia N9 with AMOLED screen a few years ago. I'm using it constantly and I don't see any signs of burn-it.
these people like to keep their screens on 24hours a day thats why
Personally, as of the galaxy s5 , AMOLED is king.
Very informative and backed up properly with actual data, great to see.
This is, by far, the most informative video about phone screens I've seen. Awesome!
Holy crap, when you put your hair up you look VERY similar to Ariana Grande...
Twatty McNoodle - I was thinking the same thing.
Twatty McNoodle i thought the same lol
Me too!
stoopppppp lol
Except for her big ass cheeks.
I really love AMOLED displays. they just look so beautiful. Especially on the GS4.
I find myself turning on my GS4 just to stare at the display.
Cool
I just completely agree with you. The screen is so beautiful! And it's great that it doesn't look inaccurate at all. I'm not a fan boy, but I just can't imagine any manufacturer making better displays than the S4 one. I just wish it was more bright, it's the only down side for me.
I actually have an LG G2 now because my S4 broke, and I STILL think the S4 looks better lol
That's REALLY interesting! haha
But what about speed/fluidity and interface?
I use cyanogenmod so its basically the same thing to me. the G2 feels a lot higher quality, and I love the really thin bezel.
Very educational. You are quite knowledgeable on displays, way more than any other TH-cam channel I have seen any way. Great job on the video.
love you're videos excellent job... keep up the good work
Omg it feels like she's touching my face 6:51 ...
I feel so awkward

Great work Erica Griffin !
Love that your TH-cam videos are so in-depth, informative, thorough and unbiased. Any plans to review the mobile phones and tablet from Xiaomi? Thnx
Nice. You explane everything so good. Love your videos.
Amoled Burns in like Gas plasma
your brain burns idiot...
At least he has a brain, unlike you.
It does indeed. Samsung Note 2 and Galaxy S5... both useless after 2 years. That's unacceptable.
AnderDoUrden Only the first amoleds burn in. I still have my Note 3 and after almost 3 years still no burn in. I dont know what you guys do with your phones.. even sleep with it and use it 10hours constantly every day or what lol
But gas plasma recovers.

Saw a Galaxy S7 & S7 Edge yesterday. Won't do that thing ever again - even the standard Google search widget has a purple line on top and a green line on its bottom much like a chromatic aberration, even at 40cm viewing distance. White is not completely white, too. Don't try to tell me that at 1440p it wouldn't matter much - I stated my experiences. 441ppi RGB LCD still looks better, although it's truly not as power efficient at black display content. Still, Amoled is actually way more inefficient than LCD at creating white/bright colours. So I'll have to wait for something that is as awesome as a Galaxy SII once was or my HTC One M8 still is.
I love amoled screens, but GOD DAMN PENTILE MAKES MY EYES HURT
+valentin Verra i've got 3 :D
Very informative! Keep on going those videos!
Wow that was a lot of information. Very informative and admittedly way over my head. But none the less good stuff. Very helpful information to have when deciding on a phone and what display the phone uses. Thanks!
Patronising disclaimer is patronising.
Yeah I don't want to buy a dimmer display that portrays whites as a dim off white tinted yellow/green that will burn in over time. Don't believe me go to Best Buy and compare the Galaxy Tab S 10.1 (new) amoled and the Note Pro Tab 12.2 (new) IPS and you'll see how much more vibrant, bright, accurate, and overall better the IPS display is. My first and last amoled was the Note 2 and I hated it, promptly switched it out for an HTC DNA with an IPS display, also had an iPhone 5, Galaxy camera, Nexus 10, and Asus laptop with IPS displays and none of them have trouble displaying blacks, this was a problem with cheaper older TFT LCDs and all are very bright and obviously don't burn in. Amoled simply cannot compete with a bright, sharp, well calibrated IPS display, in other ones, NOT a cheap one, HTC/Sony/Apple/LG/even Samsung makes beautiful IPS displays.
Those phones are on all the time of course there gonna burn Amoled tends to burn if on for long periods of time (longer than 8hours a day) and at the same image. Amoled is still the best display out there as it has punch colors. If u didn't like Amoled then good for you everyone has many preference
Compare Amoled to a Mercedes. You have to take good care of it or it will brake down
Went to get a new phone at Verizon today, was actually excited to get the Note 4 after hearing how crisp the whites were and how accurate the color temperature and white point was compared to older amoleds. While it was a lot better I was disappointed to see that side by side with the LCD Z3V and HTC One M8 it STILL is dimmer and has a greenish tint. After seeing a store model S5 and G Flex with terrible burn in this pushes me from the small advantages of higher contrast and "more saturation". The IPS still looked better period and Im walking out of here today with a Z3v. I guess some people just prefer certain displays, I cant get over that greenish white.
You cannot fix physical screen burn in you fucking idiot and I use my phone on maximum brightness all the time especially outdoors only time i turn it down is in very low light like sitting in near to pitch darkness or being outside at night.
Axel Soderstrom
if the burn-in happened will that stay forever?
You really hit the nail on this forever ongoing discussion,and the
Erica, awesome reviews. Very in depth. Please tell me, are you going to get your hands on the Note 3 when it drops?
People Speak about Burnin on oled phones, but on my 4 years old samsung galaxy s3 There is 0% burnin visible.
I had an S3 since August of 2013 (I got a OnePlus 3 recently), and burn-in hadn't ever crossed my mind. I never noticed a thing.
Soon 5 years old s3 and still 0% burn in. Maybe I got lucky. Europe version. I have not heard from anyone I know to seen burn in on oled phones.
And the phone this old most people will not be using it anymore. I still think its nothing to worry about when deciding to buy a phone. Oled tv's on the other hand, when usage will be like 15 years then I would worry about burn in.
I have a blue burn in slightly in the notification bar, BUT THE DARK BLACK IS WORTH THE TRADE OFF!!
My LG Stylo 2 got a screen burn once (LCD display)
Never liked that samsung design and I actually dont like saturated colors either.
But I love Sony Xperia Z :)
I say so myself as well. I have always preferred Sony smartphones over Samsung.
Retina display 😂😂😂
Hello Erica!
Nice job with this video!
Could you please tell us where did you find this beautiful wallpaper?
Keep up the good work!
Wow, really impressed with the narrative that is to the point and not making things overly complicated while dealing with a subject that is highly technical in nature. Thoroughly enjoyed the 15 minutes of absolute eye opener and thanks a lot!
LOL - what's an "LCD display"?
Thiesi "Liquid Crystal Display"
Interesting. What's an "LCD" then?
Thiesi - An LCD uses an electro-conductive liquid to construct letter or number characters (such as in a calculator), or RGB pixels (as in a smartphone display) in the latter, the entire display is back-lit, so that you can see what is put together...
Thanks. Now, please re-answer my original question.
All gadget nowday using amoled and ips.. amoled= led or oled ips= lcd
I LIKE THE LCD BETTER!
Excellent and comprehensive review as always.
Great video! I'm looking forward to see a G2 in front of my eyes and do some comparison too.
I keep hearing her say the primary colors are red blue and green. When I went to school they were red blue and yellow. Blue and yellow make green.
+Wendy Macqueen additive vs subtractive primaries. You are talking about subtractive color mixing with pigments. I'm talking about color mixing with light. Anyhow, it's been updated that yellow, Magenta, and cyan are the true subtractive primaries. Though it's still taught to students in art class that blue, red, and yellow are the primaries. But the way that the electromagnetic spectrum works yellow, Magenta and cyan is more accurate, covering more of the visible spectrum.
actually, in pc world almost everything is made of red-green-blue for example:
code for red is FF0000 F-means full, so its full red and no green, no blue
light has different set of primary colours to pigment colours.
It depends on how the colour works. Pigments work by absorbing particular light based colours, and reflecting the rest. While light is just the colours that were reflected. So its a bit different
I bought the S2 and never looked back cause I prefer AMOLED. Black should be black not gray which looks bad. Amoled has almost zero response time. Amoled has very wide contrast.
I was sold on AMOLED when I saw it the colors are so gorgeous.
"Accurate" is relative to the viewer.. Its whatever you like.
AMOLED ftw!
Sure when we're talking tire pressure. However, not when your taking colors. The shade of green I see a grape to be may be different then the share of green you're used to.
Ronnie Dockery -,- Nonsense
dingovory False. How can you be sure that you both see the same type of colors? How can you be sure that green for you is not red for her? There truly is no way to be sure. However unlikely it is, it isn't really nonsense.
thespian302 My green may be your red, yes, but we all see the same shade of a color, because shade is determined by wavelength, which does not change for anyone. So what he said is indeed nonsense.
Very precise! I grabbed a lot of understanding today! Thanks Erica!
love your vids you're very informative thanx for all the effort it helps a lot ;)
No matter what you say, LG G2 has a gorgeous display.
ips lcs is by far superior to the inferior amoled it has natural colors (better colors) , sharper, doesnt have burn in issue, cheaper, less harm to the eyes , better look facing the sun, brighter white and Better battery efficient , amoled saves battery but that only in black while on white bg it drains battery faster than ips and most used pps like social apps youtube searching the browser all of themhas white bg so in reality ips saves battery since it consumption for battery is constant and if amoled has deaper black ips has brighter white and as i said most usaed apps has white bg so ips is better in both look and functionality
the best AMOLED display (s7) is far superior compared to the best LCD display (g5).
+Restless G. How does the G5 display compare to the iPhone 6s Plus?
Huawei p9 has best lcd and overall screen with ips lcd beo that los zero quality when viewing it from any abgle
Neo
+Mr Droid If you were to only write the first statement, that would be more believable. But once I read the second statement, it looks like you haven't used a Plus iPhone yet.
Thanks for video and you went deep into the technology. Tought me some things i did not know, Cool
Very good video! I never knew how to interpret those gamut charts as I'm too lazy. Now I do thanks. :-)

All of this is irrelevant
oh god u talk alot
Love getting my geek on over the nitty-gritty of mobile tech! Well done Erica!
Extremely good feature Erica Griffin . You're is possibly the best video about mobile display types that I've ever seen. I find that people tend to learn certain the common characteristics of display types and then assume incorrectly that those idiosyncrasies apply to every device using that technology. As you know very well there are very few absolute rules which always apply. Let's hope it's not too long before Android gains effective and good colour management.
it would help if you had a blonde person translate
Thanks - really good video with good explanations of the comparison!
Thanks, very informative, easy to understand your graphics & explanations, helps a lot with making a choice of a new phone
Great info as usual !!!!
What screen test application is that that you've shown on the S4?
@EricaGriffin
Is LCD still your favorite after coming a long across to late 2016 ?
Cause every OEM have beeing moving to AMOLED display after all :D
did you do this test on the Xperia Z? or do you have some info about it? i would love to see how it manage colors.. great video BTW, as always
OK, came over from your iPhone 6 pocketing video. Seems you elaborate on the wonderful Toothless plus here. Thanks!
Nice job explaining this Erica!
Very educational I have a samsung s4 active with an LCD you just made me love it even more thank you
Keep up the good work, great info.
Nice video as always. I usually like to check it out in person in store before deciding. So far I've been loving my GNex oversaturated Amoled.
Very informative, good job!
Lots of technical information. Nice👍
Awesome video Erica. I have the G2 and it has a great screen, as you said its all a matter of taste. But I have learned something new today, thank you.
You're like the doctor oz of cell phones. I have to say that I am so jealous of how many gadgets you get to wake up to everyday! XD It must be like Christmas everyday to you. Anyway, im a huge fan and long time subscriber, and I hope you do this forever because there's no one else id rather watch for an hour review. God bless
Very informative video and well done. Have you formed any opinions yet on the HTC Desire 816 yet? Specifically in comparison to the S4.
I'm glad you answered the act that AMOLED displays "burn" out, bc I had the very first Galaxy S with TMobile and I started to notice over time my screen became dinner by the day. I was so frustrated.
Hey Erica I really really love this video. I'm obsessed about display quality and I'm trying to find really in-depth articles about what makes a display great. May I ask, could you help me out and point me to some articles that gives a great starting point to what makes a display accurate? Thanks!
I learn so much! Thank you Erica Griffin
Thanks .. I learned something... I always wondered what the difference was between the two types of screens.
With 4 years having passed since your review, do you have any additional insights into LCD vs (Super) Amoled?
Great video! Also, I have some burn in / "ghosting" issues here & there on my LED backlit iPad 2 (which I think it has to do with the IPS technology is uses). Do you think, essentially that LCD displays are better than LED displays?
Thanks Erica. This is very informative.
Great explanation! Subscribed!
Thanks for the wild range of information you gave on LCD vs AMOLED make clearly my decision making on which to buy and use
Thanks Erica, I love how you break things down.
For your own personal use would the LG G2's display bother you? I know you gave the disclaimer at the beginning but I was just wondering because from most rewiews ive seen so far, people (who havent used equipment to test displays) say it is really nice.
Hey Erica, do the screen modes that are built into TouchWiz change the Gamut? I have my Note II set at natural...which is all the way at the bottom. I like it because it is not as saturated as stock. Is this really changing anything?
Thank you for accurately explaining the difference between these technologies . You are awesome !
I want your Toothless dragon in the back! Where did you get him?
Now I understand what is this line about on the top of my Note 4.
Love the video. Great info.
