watch our Video at 1080p and you will see what I am talking about. The differences are so minimal and this is exactly what I pointed out in this video. We never ever claimed that the Xperia Z Ultra has a terrible display but in terms of color saturation and especially when it comes to black, the S4 has the edge over it. But when it comes to a clean white background, the HTC One has the edge. The Triluminos technology is a huge step forward for Sony handsets..
Except Sony's basic display technology is _not_ Triluminos but *IPS LCD*. Triluminos is just a technique they're using on top of *IPS LCD* to expand the color gamut. The basic display category is *IPS LCD*.
I was always a supporter of AMOLED diplays but right now I have to admit, that it doesn't have an edge over the other screens anymore when it comes to color saturation
to be honest it's hard to tell unless yo've seen it in real life what I've seen so far is LCD3 in a HTC One is better than amoled in an s3 and s4 but I'm not sureif it's just me but the s5 has some really nice colours my uncle uses a z2 and the reds in that are extremely vibrant but I my friends z1 I'm not sure it's ok but I haven't seen it enough
I looked at the Samsung S4 and the HTC One and finally found out the true difference. SUPER LCD 3 outputs whites a lot better while SUPER AMOLED has better blacks. There....I said it! Its now a matter if you like blacks or whites better.
I find (on my SGS3) that the blacks are indeed black, but... They deep grays are also black. There is no contrast between the darker grays and blacks. This, for me is considerable setback.
maydangerous I think many people get that confused when comparing to LCDs because even their dark greys show a lot of light where they are darker like they are supposed to be. The result being that the LCD shows a lot of light in these areas.
Might I ask you if you have the chance to compare these 3 displays with each other or is this just a guess based on what the manufacturers are trying to tell you?
A Suggestion, When comparing viewing angles take a colorful image or a video. So the exact effect of tiling can be better assessed with higher no. of colors
Just a brief information for the noobs: IPS, retina, triluminos and slcd3 are all LCD displays, the main difference is triluminos uses a different method of backlight LEDs, IPS is a layer used to reduce viewing angle reflections, SLCD3 also has an IPS coat. Each company give their displays an alias as to sounds unique.
especially after they released the Xperia Z with one of the worst LCD displays in a modern smartphone. It is absolutely nonsense to say that the display of the Z Ultra is the best display on the market. It has advantages and disadvantages and that's what we pointed out. Trust me, I just don't care if you prefer Sony or not. I am sure that I am using their products since you were even born. I care about technology not matter who builds it!
well I am one of the reviewers and I guess I am obviously blind then. Maybe I am just too independent and don't care about the pr-spin manufacturers are giving me. We took plenty of high-resolution pictures and analyzed them in terms of color-saturation and the differences are almost not measurable. But I am happy to see your review of these 3 devices because frankly I don't think that you've had a chance to try them out
I agree. Samsung Galaxy S series has a very good LCD display. But when it comes to movie and images, Sony still wins because of its Bravia Engine which enhances and brilliance colors. As I have recently using Sony Xperia Z and Samsung Galaxy S3, I still prefer Xperia Z when taking photos and videos. All I can say, I might be lucky among the rest who purchased Sony Xperia Z, since comparing to other same unit, my Xperia Z have better quality colors when it comes to display.
Fantastic video. Very well done. 1 question. Does the black Xperia Z Ultra chip or scratch etc like the black iPhone 5 did so easily or do you think it will? Thanks
The dark-outs, the bluish tint, the unreal contrast ratio that otherwise doesn't exist in the real world, the lower luminance level and the deterioration in the AMOLED panels are the main reasons why I personally prefer the LCDs and especially the IPS LCDs over the AMOLEDs. Triluminous might become my next favorite but that only time will tell.
Before Z Ultra i use a Samsung Note3....Note3 is fantastic phone but display quality is better on Z Ultra and all phone construction is a class above...Only drawback is that is a bit heavy for longer surfing.
a viewing angle tells you a lot about the quality of the display. cheap displays have terrible color changes from a different angle... especially users who love to play games on their phones are interested in this. I don't care about complains on any forums, the difference is, it is my job to do this and I have all the devices. Sorry for doing a fair review which might not matches the opinion of a bunch fanboys who are just not able to tell the difference
AMOLED also has the potential to save or reduce battery life. In AMOLED, Black's are dark and nice because those pixels are actually turned off. So displaying any bright color wastes more battery than blacks. Also, AMOLED has burn-in, so any image that is left on the screen constantly will make the image "ghost" in the background.
so the review is not fair because imo the Ultra Z doesn't really have an edge? Again, I prefer to tell the truth and do a proper review and come up with a verdict that can be verified. This is what we did
display clearity also depends on ppi, pixel size, touch screen layers and materials,and if it is lcd also it depends on which backlite you are using....
They look similar in this video with one exception, the super amoled showing sync lines. does it have slower refresh rate? not necessarily worse if it can save battery.
thx for the up. been looking for the comparison, t would be nice if you could compare z with ultra that way it will be easy for others to understand the so called triliminous display
are you seriously kidding me and trying to say that we faked the viewing angle test that we did with all devices? sorry but I am gonna stop this clowning now!
I think the display on the HTC One X 2012 with Super LCD 2 was better than the 2013 HTC One with Super LCD 3. Yes it may be 720p when compared to 1080p but it was brighter, not as dull and had 90° viewing angles, SERIOUSLY.
i think you should have picked the xperia z1 for the comparison to get closer ppi ratio ... to be fair; or pick the note 3 and one max against the ultra
In all honesty when i see a super amoled display i religiously believe it looks like crap. Its like comparing a Plasma TV to a LED. The LED is so much brighter and the colors are not true as compared to a plasma. Which is the same way i feel as Amoled to an IPS/SuperLCD3 or Triluminous. Amoled focuses on Vibrant effects to the point that Orange and reds look similar side to side. Again, This is my opinion. Main reason i would prefer Galaxy S4 Active because of its IPS display as opposed to the regular S4 with the Super Amoled.
@minipcpro I'm thinking of picking up the Sony Z Ultra.. i need to know the black levels on the Z Ultra ? Are they jet black like the Super AMOLED Reproduce them ? Or is there a slight mist on the jet black background on the Triluminos display ?? Please let me know Thanks
Outdoor brightness goes for at number 1 to HTC 2 to Sony and 3 to Samsung. Colour Reproduction (most natural and best looking) 1- Sony 2-HTC 3-Samsung .
Samsung wanted to go Quantum LED a long time ago but decided to go all in on AMOLED, which is technically pretty close to the Quantum LED development... talking about this research thingy!
Ur effort 4 an honest review is much appreciatd. Agreed that people R reacting strongly, chalnging Ur opnion bt shud this not B a routine by now as U’ve done so many reviews? Evryone’s got own prefrnces e.g. if I find details in the darker areas of a display more importnt than the viewing angles & contrast ratio I’d b in Ur words a “Fanboy”. How com UR traind eyes seem 2 miss on that in AMOLEDs? Fact is U made Ur review public U shud take it easy so as not 2 let people doubt Ur “honesty”
Let me make it clear about what I don't give a fuck about. I don't need crazy big resolution.Also I don't need to feel let down by viewing angles.I look in front of it all the times.I don't look it sideways unless it was someone else's phone. What I came to say was I only give attention to brightness and contrast
Next time read the comment and answer AFTER. I said that different technologies behave in a different way when it comes to viewing angle and that includes LCD and OLED (present in mobile tech). I compared 27" monitors with 27" monitors and TVs, pointing out that a TN panel unit (with poorer viewing angles compared to an OLED for example) can have much better IQ and speed than any other display in its price range. Quality ≠ Viewing angle
Personal test, I've compared the htc one with samsung galaxy s3 and samsung wave using FHD video for the one and s3, 720p of the same video to the wave, the htc one has sharper display 469 ppi than the others but, in contrast ratio, the s3 and the wave were the winners.
Triluminous isn't marketing stuff. It uses a technology known as quantum dots physics. It uses a pure BLUE LED coated with an optical color block which contains quantum dots of RED and GREEN. The blue light excites the quantum dots to produce accurate RED and GREEN wavelengths in addition to the original BLUE wavelength. The end result is wavelengths of PURE color spectrum/reproduction. Also, seeing is believing.
The review isn't bad at all, I do not understand the comments about your voice (voice is very OK, your English is very good too for a German, no issues here) or about the review quality (if the displays are equal in quality, where is the problem?) but I kind of wonder how the S4 display is as bright as the HTC One display in sunlight because I have both and the S4 display is darker and you can barely recognize something on it in bright sunlight.
i think sony took this one by a bit, it had more colours where lcd would either mix colours and change the contrast or amoled would make it look black. sony screen had more colour and brightness. then slcd because it atleast had proper colour and last is amoled because it makes everything look black when its not exactly black.
well S-amoled is more eye catching when you look at. Though people say inaccurate well c'mon it's not like the LCD shows yellow while amoled looks blue it's not that huge difference right? Lol.. Super amoled wins and I think every display should be one and it's brighter per se.
For me the Xperia Z Ultra is the winner mainly for the wider color gamut/range although I think that a more appropriate comparison with the S4 and One would be possible when a comparable sized screen i.e. the honami is put up next to them. I can't say much about the viewing angles though since I haven't seen the Z Ultra screen in person. However if it is any better than any phone from the previous generation of Xperias then I am more than OK with it.
i like this kind of videos where they show of diffrent smartphones , but in my mind you cant tell the diffrence when you dont have all screens centerd and maby the key point for me at least is that you will never notice the diffrence if you dont own other smartphones in the same class (high end vs high end) to compare with...
I am sorry but you are trying to compare display technologies that aren't anywhere near to get into a mobile platform. We are talking about LCD and AMOLED displays because that's all you can find in a smartphone or tablet. Talking about plain stupd... yeah that's what I would say when someone compares a 27-inch LED with a smartphone screen ;)
I wonder why when they talk about a "washed out" screen they tend to overlook the "dark-outs" present in the so called "Super" AMOLEDs specially. By that I mean to refer to the details these displays fail to show, simplify or shall I say "dark-out" in the darker areas (e.g. foliage, black/brown hair etc.) in their pursuit of becoming a high contrast display.
Super AMOLED Technology = 100% increased brightness, 441PPI, infinite contrast, deepest black levels, best viewing angles Super AMOLED is a very new technology and will be the main technology powering new TV's in the year 2016. AMOLED panel technology will phase out LED LCD panel technology starting from 2013. Samsung is already ahead in terms of mobile display technology. Super AMOLED is the best mobile display technology. FORZA SAMUSNG!
AMOLED is meant to optimize contrast. LCD might look better in sunlight if it's brighter, but in a dark room the AMOLED will look amazing. You can't appreciate OLED technology unless you see it on a large screen in person with the lights turned down. OLED is the next step in screen technology. LED, plasma, and LCD are going to become obsolete.
Martin Hoch I would rather have modern flat panels that don't suffer from burn-in effects like ancient technologies like cathode ray tubes used to, thank you very much, so I'll go with IPS over AMOLED. :) Not to mention I care more about maximum brightness (IPS strong point) than maximum darkness (AMOLED strong point) since I use my phone in intense light far more often than I do in total darkness (it's not like I need to sneak around watching movies all night without disturbing a roommate or something).
The One is the winner in my book. It has the highest pixels per inch. Blacks aren't nearly as important as whites, and it has better speakers. I hardly ever use my phone in direct sunlight, and when I do, how deep the black is, is of no concern to me, I just want to see whatever is on the screen. I watch movies on my phone indoors. If you watch movies on your phone outdoors, that is a little weird. To each their own though.
this is 100% true actually.. it even works since the s3 and note 2... you really need to be under very bright sunlight to be able see the difference.. no it's definitely not an urban myth..
And white is displayed just like how it should be! not like IPS LCD washed out white But I've heard SAmoled displays are orgainic and they die out eventually :( I'm using an SAmoled device and that thing scares me
It's a bit not fair, because in the Album and Movies apps of Sony, there is Bravia Engine (or Xreality), which oversaturates colours, that's why it looks so good...
Well, from what i learned it's Personal Choice, actually im in love with what you call a 'shit', and i hate AMOLED, However, AMOLED is always known to have an UNnatural Colors because of the Gamut it Supports
Yousef Sultan Nooooooo, are you suggesting that a display is more realistic than real life? The Gamut on Super Amoled is not even as wide as what you'd see in real life. The problem is more to do with over saturation
chrischoy9, no, you got me wrong, we all know that all the screens of any type won't be realistic as real life, but what i meant is that AMOLED has really different gamut that the Sony one, and while Android displays an sRGB image, it will Look a lot Over saturated, while in sony it will be more realistic, plus, if AMOLED was that nice, many manufactureres including apple and sony will use AMOLED instead of LCD,, btw LCD is much better in terms of readability, especially when the DPI is low
Superamoled best blacks, super lcd vivid bleu and green, The sony is somewhat pale but overall the most natural looking with the most visible details in the picture, if you like psychedelic svreensavers and brightly coloured cartoons, go for the super amoled/super lcd, for a movie i'd say triluminos.
i find the triluminos display to have the most realistic and vivid colours and the smoothest image from these 3. big win for sony! :D btw, i find it quite funny that the video that was displayed in all of these smartphones is a samsung tv demo video lol
This said, I am fully aware of the fact that the AMOLEDs are the future tech in displays and all the manufacturers are desperately wanting to adopt it, still so far I think the opinion in general is a bit too biased in favor of the AMOLEDs.

Definitely the Sony won here's the list for me:
Sony Xperia Z Ultra
HTC One
Samsung Galaxy S4
to be honest it's hard to tell unless yo've seen it in real life
what I've seen so far is LCD3 in a HTC One is better than amoled in an s3 and s4 but I'm not sureif it's just me but the s5 has some really nice colours
my uncle uses a z2 and the reds in that are extremely vibrant but I my friends z1 I'm not sure it's ok but I haven't seen it enough
abirneji super amoleds are very poor outdoors.
PartySlapper The more you know
lcd is awesome outside
I just leave it at minimum brightness
on a sunny day I'll put it up a little
Donald J. Trump Official how i use it outside and it did super with outdoors mode
yes viewing angles are important and I have no idea what you are trying to complain about. We compare 3 display technologies in a real life situation
I looked at the Samsung S4 and the HTC One and finally found out the true difference. SUPER LCD 3 outputs whites a lot better while SUPER AMOLED has better blacks. There....I said it! Its now a matter if you like blacks or whites better.
so its a race thing huh?
Except when in Movie Mode the Amoled has a better white balance too.
I find (on my SGS3) that the blacks are indeed black, but... They deep grays are also black. There is no contrast between the darker grays and blacks. This, for me is considerable setback.
maydangerous I think many people get that confused when comparing to LCDs because even their dark greys show a lot of light where they are darker like they are supposed to be. The result being that the LCD shows a lot of light in these areas.
funny
Might I ask you if you have the chance to compare these 3 displays with each other or is this just a guess based on what the manufacturers are trying to tell you?
Z ultra really took my attention, when u compared stills the colours was 1 class beyond opponents. Trilluminus+X-reality = easy to choose :)
A Suggestion, When comparing viewing angles take a colorful image or a video. So the exact effect of tiling can be better assessed with higher no. of colors
Just a brief information for the noobs: IPS, retina, triluminos and slcd3 are all LCD displays, the main difference is triluminos uses a different method of backlight LEDs, IPS is a layer used to reduce viewing angle reflections, SLCD3 also has an IPS coat.

Personaly for me sony it is so beautiful!

Careful with burn in on the Super AMOLED especially when displaying stills at max brightness for prolonged periods
I think the triluminous display looks the best of the 3. It looks Brightest and more crisp than the others..

Fantastic video. Very well done.
1 question. Does the black Xperia Z Ultra chip or scratch etc like the black iPhone 5 did so easily or do you think it will? Thanks

I don't care about complains on any forums, the difference is, it is my job to do this and I have all the devices. Sorry for doing a fair review which might not matches the opinion of a bunch fanboys who are just not able to tell the difference
also how hard is it to sync all 3 devices so that they play the video at the same time..
AMOLED also has the potential to save or reduce battery life. In AMOLED, Black's are dark and nice because those pixels are actually turned off. So displaying any bright color wastes more battery than blacks. Also, AMOLED has burn-in, so any image that is left on the screen constantly will make the image "ghost" in the background.
Imo the Sony screen looks best
Why you put the text over display when you are doing a presentation OF Display???
Finally someone compare these 3 technoligies. Nice job. Very usefull review... Keep it up... :)
so the review is not fair because imo the Ultra Z doesn't really have an edge? Again, I prefer to tell the truth and do a proper review and come up with a verdict that can be verified. This is what we did
display clearity also depends on ppi, pixel size, touch screen layers and materials,and if it is lcd also it depends on which backlite you are using....
They look similar in this video with one exception, the super amoled showing sync lines. does it have slower refresh rate? not necessarily worse if it can save battery.
Nice comparison! Thanks! Displays have evolved fast in the last three years. Now I want a new phone...
thx for the up. been looking for the comparison, t would be nice if you could compare z with ultra that way it will be easy for others to understand the so called triliminous display
Triluminos is obviously the best.... -.-
i love watching videos from the sides of the phone..which phone should i buy?
Maybe turn off Auto Rotate before showing the viewing angles on the Dis-play.
Good video, but it would be better if you didn't block the screen when you put the text saying which display was which on the video.
are you seriously kidding me and trying to say that we faked the viewing angle test that we did with all devices? sorry but I am gonna stop this clowning now!
up Sony
I think the display on the HTC One X 2012 with Super LCD 2 was better than the 2013 HTC One with Super LCD 3. Yes it may be 720p when compared to 1080p but it was brighter, not as dull and had 90° viewing angles, SERIOUSLY.
Why you've put such huge text over the displays several times? It is s display test where we can't see the displays half of the video ..nicely done.
i think you should have picked the xperia z1 for the comparison to get closer ppi ratio ... to be fair; or pick the note 3 and one max against the ultra
In all honesty when i see a super amoled display i religiously believe it looks like crap. Its like comparing a Plasma TV to a LED.

which uses the same technology as the Z Ultra
I totally agree. Always great videos and spot on with their advice. Thank You

Sony Xperia z ultra the best
One of the best comparisons I have ever seen

It really is true. I tested it myself with 5 different phones in sunlight and the +5 is indeed brighter.
Ur effort 4 an honest review is much appreciatd. Agreed that people R reacting strongly, chalnging Ur opnion bt shud this not B a routine by now as U’ve done so many reviews?

was wondering if you adjusted the white balance on the z :O ?
What about power consumption?
Kinda agree with Nicole, One Z S4. Honestly, rather hard to tell but when the viewing angle was tested, Samsung came last
Cool, I learnt a lot from this video. All of them are the same.
Hey guys, I would LOVE if you did a review of the Oppo Find 5 (maybe even demo CM 10.1 on it? :P)

sAMOLED is the best technology today exist it is the thinnest consumes less power and light weight 174degree wide angle it's the best
aman kumar nop
triluminos is better
A bigger display doesn't mean it is better
The Testvideo is the Video from Samsung S4 right?
I agree with Nicole...

it's easy, my choice is one Sony Xperia screen have the best "black" and contrast

d0nj03 I'm sure there are still some advantages of cathode ray tube TVs over flat screens, but which would you rather have?

I would rather have modern flat panels that don't suffer from burn-in effects like ancient technologies like cathode ray tubes used to, thank you very much, so I'll go with IPS over AMOLED. :) Not to mention I care more about maximum brightness (IPS strong point) than maximum darkness (AMOLED strong point) since I use my phone in intense light far more often than I do in total darkness (it's not like I need to sneak around watching movies all night without disturbing a roommate or something).
Triluminos, S-LCD3, AMOLED
But nontheless, they are all very great displays! Kudos to Sony for finally keeping up with their displays!
tough to watch this on a POS laptop. Best thing to folks is to just go in Best Buy and play around with them until you find one you like.
I would love to see 4K video test on Z Ultra, maybe some extend video comparison.
The One is the winner in my book. It has the highest pixels per inch. Blacks aren't nearly as important as whites, and it has better speakers. I hardly ever use my phone in direct sunlight, and when I do, how deep the black is, is of no concern to me, I just want to see whatever is on the screen. I watch movies on my phone indoors. If you watch movies on your phone outdoors, that is a little weird. To each their own though.
Sony Triluminos BE2 is the most beautiful color feel the beauty ❤️
I'm watching this on my super LCD3 HTC 1M8 BOOMSOUND
this is 100% true actually.. it even works since the s3 and note 2... you really need to be under very bright sunlight to be able see the difference.. no it's definitely not an urban myth..
to steal some of your lifetime! I guess it worked out pretty well ;)
Great Info../ What's the name of the video Helicopters playing? looks so kool ;o)
Is best triluminos
Great comparison, thanks very much.
amoled is great if it comes in colors but the problem is the white of amoled is low
amoled is better.....bcoz it has better black not like blur black.....
While SLCD 3 has better whites
And white is displayed just like how it should be! not like IPS LCD washed out white
But I've heard SAmoled displays are orgainic and they die out eventually :(
I'm using an SAmoled device and that thing scares me
It's a bit not fair, because in the Album and Movies apps of Sony, there is Bravia Engine (or Xreality), which oversaturates colours, that's why it looks so good...
When i watch a video will I turn off X-Reality? No.
But normally Sony's display is shit, period.
Well, from what i learned it's Personal Choice, actually im in love with what you call a 'shit', and i hate AMOLED, However, AMOLED is always known to have an UNnatural Colors because of the Gamut it Supports
Yousef Sultan Nooooooo, are you suggesting that a display is more realistic than real life?
The Gamut on Super Amoled is not even as wide as what you'd see in real life. The problem is more to do with over saturation
chrischoy9, no, you got me wrong, we all know that all the screens of any type won't be realistic as real life, but what i meant is that AMOLED has really different gamut that the Sony one, and while Android displays an sRGB image, it will Look a lot Over saturated, while in sony it will be more realistic, plus, if AMOLED was that nice, many manufactureres including apple and sony will use AMOLED instead of LCD,, btw LCD is much better in terms of readability, especially when the DPI is low
Superamoled best blacks, super lcd vivid bleu and green, The sony is somewhat pale but overall the most natural looking with the most visible details in the picture, if you like psychedelic svreensavers and brightly coloured cartoons, go for the super amoled/super lcd, for a movie i'd say triluminos.
Triluminous ! IFA 2013 will let you compare those 3 again with honami .
i find the triluminos display to have the most realistic and vivid colours and the smoothest image from these 3.
big win for sony! :D
btw, i find it quite funny that the video that was displayed in all of these smartphones is a samsung tv demo video lol
The Z Ultra is like a little fuckin HD TV . ADORE IT.
thats why we also have the still ;)
This said, I am fully aware of the fact that the AMOLEDs are the future tech in displays and all the manufacturers are desperately wanting to adopt it, still so far I think the opinion in general is a bit too biased in favor of the AMOLEDs.
why not pick a video with vivid colors instead of this blueish/washed out video, I bet you would be able to see the difference then
