Hard to judge accuracy, I think they are quite Punchy since that's the way samsung likes it and for me it looks great. Maybe 4-stars since reality is not always as vivid as the s9+ makes it out to be.
Colors are more accurate than they were in the S8. But for some reason they do not appear as full/filled, though. I still give 5 stars for the color accuracy. It is as good as it gets on a mobile display.
Whites on my S8+ are much brighter and less "dirty". White on my S9+ looks a lot grayish.

It's kind of personal preference but I like saturated color with cooler white balance. My previous note8 and present s9+ kind of dull screen n way too yellowish. I had to tune down the red,green to lowest & blue to the highest to make the white less yellowish. Though it doesn't help that much.

I would not call it dirty because the screen uniformity is actually better on the S9+. The best I can describe what you describe is if whites on the S8 is half & half, whites on the S9+ is skim milk.
Loss of brightness is a trade-off that Samsung can not avoid if they want to calibrate colors more accurately. That I do not mind - just have to compensate it by raising the brightness slider a bit.
accuratare colours till black crush crushes those accuracies.

The OnePlus 2 has a crazy crisp display. Just kidding, this is automated text so who knows if this screen is any good. So, you be the judge! A higher rating indicates that it's extremely sharp and clear, and that you cannot see pixels with your naked eye.

1080P is still great. People should stop complaining.
FullHD display is still relevant. Helps in battery consumption

The colors look washed out, even in comparison to OPO. What is experience of other users?
The colors are natural and give a "true to life" look. Go ahead and bump up the saturation and contrast for that "amoled look" if that's your thing. We are on android after all.
1080p is more than enough for a phone or tablet.
The display color is way better than nexus 5 and OPO screen. Bright is also good when high, and gets very low too. The resolution is great, not missing QHD at all.
I will agree with saurabhp75 that the colours are not as vivid and looked washed out compared to the OPO. The only settings are brightness and colour balance which goes from cool to warm. I do agree that it is brighter than the OPO though.
For those complaining that the colors seem "washed" out, that is true to life colors. If you want to have that AMOLED like saturation, we are on android after all, flash AK kernel or Boeffla and from there google the gamma settings for the kind of color reproduction you are interested in
Color production is subjective in this case, it is unjust to call the onplus 2's display as sub par lel
1920x1080 resolution on 5" bit small but for my eyes enough. HD Videos, HD Pictures looking sharp and not pixelised.
super amoled is the best, screen clarity /color is not ok, if u compare with samsung's amoled screen, i'm not satisfied with OP2 sceeen

Flash AK Kernel, Change colors to some AMOLED-like mode. Then colors would be over contrasted and not natural...if that's what You want, You can do this. OP2 Screen is amazing. Whites are white and blacks are almost 100% black. I'm really happy with it

Install a custom Kernel and increase the saturation to 40-45. It looks much better now, and much more pleasing than the OPO's display. That one always looked weird and cheap to me.
Resolution n sharpness is good. FullHD is still pretty much enough for our eyes.
Agree that color is slightly dull (i always compare color with iphone - the most natural screen you can have) but its easy to tweak using kernel that have KCAL setting enabled. So no issue there
Mate! Really? You think the screen is bad? It is just not saturated. I have a Sony Xperia Z3, Galaxy Note 3, and an LG G4, and Honestly, I cannot tell the difference. Let me get a little technical in the hope of helping you understand it better.
If you feel a magazine page and the photos on a magazine are crisp enough, they are printed at 300dpi. Fine art printers go to 720dpi. And no one really goes beyond that. And from a foot away, even a person with perfect eye sight cannot see more than about 450ppi. The One plus two pushes more than 400ppi, and that I believe should be plenty, unless you want to plaster your eyeballs to the phone screen (which would result in you losing your eyes, unless the screen is turned off ).

Compared to a over saturated Samsung it probably does look washed out, in the picture posted, look at the hearts, the pixel looks red and you can see how oversaturated the Sammy is

Well in contrast, look at the beach on both photos. When I looked at both side by side, Pixel definitely lacked saturation in my opinion. I guess it comes down to personal preference but I never understood why people wouldn't like Samsungs saturation. Makes everything look much nicer, and if one wants to mute colors, there are a bunch of profiles in the settings as well as adjustments for individual colors. When you lack saturated colors like on this Pixel to begin with, you can't just bring more color out that easily.
The Verizon I went to had it setup with some preloaded messages, didn't actually get to see the OS and working screens. My comparison would be to the numbers the display is measured at, delta E, gamma, etc,... that is the only true measurement of color accuracy.
A similar post on Reddit mentioned that the Pixel 2 XL is set to sRGB mode by default, and that there was a toggle to make it more vibrant somewhere in the display settings. It would be interesting to see the same comparison with that toggle set to "On" with the Pixel (assuming that the info is good, and that the toggle exists at all).

That's true, there was a switch "Vibrant Colors" under Display settings but it was turned on at the one I checked
Google devices have been historically very accurate with the screen colors. Going from LG/Samsung will be noticable.

People tend to get that way these days because of the way televisions are sold with the brightness and color saturation practically maxed out. This results in super unrealistic colors that tend to offset your idea of what "good" is while killing off subtle image details in the process. Samsung seems to like to do the same thing with phones, perhaps based on the same mindset that their TV guys use: Make things flashy.
In the showroom it may boost sales, but when I take my TV home, the first thing I do is tone all of that down to make sure the color balance is more realistic. For example, I want grass to look like grass would be colored, not neon-green. sRGB mode on Google's phones is nice because it does that for you, without needing any color filters and test patterns.

YES. So. Many. Times. This.
I shake my head when I see people show off their new TV's with sharpness at 100 and vivid color profiles with bright colors and cool temp selected. More power to do what u want with your stuff, but it just looks rediculous.
As a photographer using calibrated displays and a Photoshop user, don't make up your mind on Webb posts. And I want a natural and sRGB.
Love the super saturated colors. This is coming from a normal consumer without any "expertise" in anything related to the subject matter. My eyes like it.
I despise the over-saturation Sammy does. This is good news to me.
This is funny because although I was only able to see the the Pixel 2 screen (non XL) I'm positive both will have great displays. I do like Samsung displays however I hate when the over saturation shows the absolutely wrong color. But not too long ago the Samsung S8 & S8+ displays had a red & purple tint on the white screen. And that was actually a very prevalent issue which was fixed by a software update. After seeing the Pixel 2 display I thought it looked good.
I have read that the display on the Pixel 2 XL has a bluish tint when viewed off angle and that the LG V30, which is said to have the same display as the Pixel 2 XL, has screen uniformity issues.
I went to my local Verizon yesterday to play with the phone and see for myself. The bluish tint off angle is absolutely there. It didn't bother me but it might bother some. As far as screen uniformity I didn't see any issues. At least not with the display phone. I tested with light gray and dark gray backgrounds at high and low screen brightness and I used my hands to block out room lighting as best as I could.
Color saturation looked good to me. A bit more saturated than my Nexus 5X I used as a side by side comparison.
The verge panned the v30 display in their review today. This isn't looking good

Color saturation and contrast is terrible, it is as if the screen is a knockoff. Can not get accurate warm colors like the mi 8 or the 1+ 6t that compare side by side. The display colors are horrible. Is there something I'm missing ?
Anyone ?
Miui default display setting always have bad color saturation, no matter the phone has ips or amoled panel. I always change the contrast setting to increased contrast. Now My Mi 9 display almost look like Samsung's one.
The greens are dull and faded, reds are too dark.
Can not get the right colors !
is there any display calibration app that can change all this ?
thanks
Same here with my GFs Mi 9. She started crying when she compared with my oneplus 6t... Am really curious if there is any fix to the really terrible display calibration.
It works fine... Just make sure you set the "contrast" to "standard" (strange name for color profiles. But whatever, it works)
The colors seem pretty natural to me when using that profile. But what I didn't like, is that when playing back an HDR video, the auto-brightness can still dim down the screen... This isn't supposed to happen, or at the very least there should be an option to turn that off.
Also interesting, is that given enough ambient light, YouTube HDR playback will in fact boost the brightness to max (but it won't on a pitch black environment) But if you are playing an HDR video from another source, the brightness won't be boosted at all, and you will have to do it manually.
And while I'm on the topic of HDR video, there doesn't appear to be any tone mapping going on, so some highlights will be blown. But it does seem to properly track the HDR EOTF until that point, and the color gamut does appear to be wider than when viewing SDR content.
So to summarize, this is a great display, and I think Xiaomi did include color profiles, but there's more work to be done... I'm hoping this HDR brightness issue can be addressed on a custom ROM, and hopefully an option to add tone mapping.
Given that GSMArena measured the display's colors to be really accurate any claims of "x" or "y" to be too "dull" or "faded" is just baseless. It's most likely you're accustomed to displays actually being wrong and want to reproduce that.
Do you set : raise contrast mode, or dynamic contrast ?
For me, colors are more saturated in increased contrast mode, it's quite beautiful and flashy, but maybe exagerated saturation
Dynamic contrast with warm colors looks fine, quite less satutared
Your thoughts ?

100% agree with you.
I use automatic and warm. Very nice colours
My Mi 9 has a really nice display. I'm very happy with its color reproduction and vibrancy. I come from a OnePlus 5.
Yeah, people complaining here came from very unbalanced screens and when they meet a really good one, think it is trash. Sigh.
On Mi 9 Lite best choise: Automatic is the most optimal for me
By my side I have a defective display that has too hot colors, wite are yellowish I had :
- Red : 62 %
- Green : 62 %
- Blue : 100 %
And with these seetings wites are just wite, you can imagine how yellowish it is...

Rate this thread to express how well you can see the Samsung Galaxy S10e's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.

My brightness is so much brighter than my S8 and my Note 8.
The S10e screen is phenomenal in the sun compared to those
Turn on the auto brightness so it can hit the maximum.
Change the color for the display to Vivid instead of Natural if outdoors because it has a wider color gamut and will show better.
I prefer natural but if I need to read outdoors I change it. You can notice it on the boosted auto brightness max.

I am considering getting one of these so this is good to know.
The auto brightness outdoors works relatively well. It just might be my phone or my eyes, but it appears more orange/red when it's on full auto-brightness
Absolute no issues with display quality

Could use a slight vibrancy buff.
Correct colors just go to screen calibrate RGB values and set them all to 90
I was always thinking the colors in camera apps didn't look good at all, being very different from actual colors. I disabled automatic contrast and set it to default, and now the cam colors are much more realistic. The screen is probably calibrated to go with that setting.
Everything will look a bit bad when you set that setting, but it just needs a bit of time for your eyes to get used to it. White was looking yellowish at first, but now that I'm used to it it looks white. It's also much softer and less agressive than the automatic contrast that was probably way too blue.
Anyone have color accuracy tools, calibration tools, or something similar? I'd love to calibrate my display. but sadly i have no calibration tools...
There's a new setting in the display section after miui 11 update. It's the colour scheme setting, and there is a saturated colours option, but it doesn't seem to change anything. It stays the same, except when changing the temperature. Appreciate that they acknowledged the issue, but still needs work.

Can you downgrade back to 10.3.6 or 10.3.5?
I hear the MIUI 11....... Versions messed up this phone
(I'm still on 10.3.5 and don't know much about the later versions from personal experience)
