I agree. The Super Amoled on the Galaxy S is amazing. Wow'ed all my friends with it. Blacks are pure black (you can't even see the frame of the device in full darkness, nor any edges or grayer areas), color is great, bright, etc.
I wish I had one in size 55" for my living room TV, it would be outstanding.
Unfortunately I took back my SGS as it sucked otherwise... had lots of lag (no rom fixes would help properly) and the GPS was so bad it was totally useless.
But the screen.. ahhh... bliss.

About 6 months ago I was at a real life gathering of some members of 1 irelevant gaming website.
There were 22 of us.
There were several iPhones,1 HTC Desire and 1 Nokia N900.
I hadn't get my eyes on N900 so I can't coment.
I've seen a little bit of iPhone screen,and I have to say it seemed very nice.
HOWEVER,His Majesty HTC Desire blow away every mobile phone screen I've ever seen.
It blown away nearly every LCD TV's(yes TV's)aside of Aurea and co. offcourse.
Not sure for Plazma TV's.
The only problem was that the video image on Youtube over 3G sucked.
My Sony Ericsson W995 wiped the flore with HTC Desire in 3G department. Even when the video quality of some vids was set to Normal on SEW995 was still better than HQ of HTC Desire.
We did not test Youtube over Wi-Fi.
Anyhow Youtube aside It was an incredable experince to see it in action and I wasn't the only1 amazed.
Since my SE W995 had a "little "accident" " in the meantime I was thinking about Desire,but it's still waaay to expensive+I HATE touchsreen-only phones.

Mr. PenTile, 30 Nov 2010Samsung has indeed this PenTile matrix crap. I owned a Samsung Wave.
Color, contrast, blacks,... moreAgreed. The Pentile cheat is actually visible, but since it doesn't show up in the resolution figures, nobody complains. It would be nice if reviewers pointed it out.
With CBD only loosing on viewing angles, I would call it a more clear winner. I hope there is no actual resolution limit on the tech, but guess we have to wait for N9 for confirmation.

why are lots of people saying that gsmarena are samsung fans or paid by samsung?
tell us, have you found the fairest mobile reviews over the internet yet?
is it not gsmarena?
indeed samsung phones are great. other manufacturer's phone, too !
or is it just that their technology leads?
i'm not a samsung fan, nor to any other brands. i just pick what suited my lifestyle best
it's all in the users people. that is why people are the most unpredictable creatures, they think uniquely
why not just say
" hey! my samsung's great!"
"yeah! my [manufacturer's brand], too!"

Otherwise all manufacturers are going to start using the crap to be competitive in the spec sheet race. Its like the response time and contrast scams on TFT displays all over again.

despite those old lcd panels, all new technologies or enhanced technologies are good enough at all conditions. i think insisting on which one is the best competition is useless.

awesome review, thanks guys... I was about to go for HTC DHD, but now that I have clearly seen the weak display I definitely won't... I'll just stick with my Wave... Nokia's C6-01 seems to be the future for them, just have to bring out 3.5" screens with that technology...

Color, contrast, blacks,... more"BUT resolution is worse than Nokia C6-01! Look at texts or particular colurs: they all have black poits in it an especially text looks not sharp enough."
Big Deal eh??

Can someone confirm once and for all whether Nokia's AMOLED display tech (N8, E7) is or isn't Pentile?

Samsung has indeed this PenTile matrix crap. I owned a Samsung Wave.
Color, contrast, blacks, viewing angle mindblowing...
BUT resolution is worse than Nokia C6-01! Look at texts or particular colurs: they all have black poits in it an especially text looks not sharp enough.
They didn't compare resolution properly; GMSArena only wrote down the resolution figures. There is a big differnece btw Super-Amoled 480x800 and LCD 480x800.

Going directly from the first picture, I say Wave and C6-01 take the cake, and maybe the Galaxy S with a close second.

if the c6-01 has the same resolution like iphone4 i bet this will be the lone winner of all....

Good article but a big miss was not writing about the PenTile matrix crap used on all samsung displays.
BTW, you can control the light sensor on S^3 devices with a app called lightctrl(1.51).

I don't even know why GSM Arena bothers with the iphone. The iphone is in a league of its own. Including the iphone in any reviews or articles just stirs up anger, jealousy, and hate among nokia and android lovers. It's better not to include the iphone at all. The iphone will still be a successful device.

just as the Evo being reborn into the DHD, the IS03 may very well do the same in the near future.
