I'll still go for an LED backlit IPS LCD, didn't like the oversaturated colors and overcontrast of AMOLED when working on graphics related jobs

Does the rep says I can throw away my Note after using it for a year or so, because the display will get sh**tier by the day? If that's true I will go back to stone age phones like Nokia 6210 or 5110. At least I'll be worry free and the voice quality will be top notch. No more tweets, just silence.

What's the use of using a material that lasts longer if they'll just release a newer galaxy by next year?

Hell they might even release later on a GS3+++ with SAMOLED HD on it... tsk

I call this B.S. if this is true then why did my Galaxy S1 show signs of burn in as early as 6 months in but never really got that worse even after 2 yrs. My Galaxy S2 has no sign of burn on what-so-ever even on the AM/PM symbol.

And what idiot is going to believe that a company trying to sell phones is going to choose one technology over another because "one lasts more for the consumer"? That's the most silly marketing claim I've ever heard!

Lol thanks Samsung, so you're saying your previous phone's screen won't last as long, and the current one is inferior quality.
