LG's 4.5-inch high-res AH-IPS display beats Super AMOLED Plus in color accuracy
Share:
LG argues that the AH-IPS display is superior and now it has the certification to prove it as testing company Intertek gave the technology its Quality and Performance Mark for color accuracy. Compared to the Samsung’s latest Super AMOLED Plus display featured on the Galaxy S II, the AH-IPS manages to reproduce colors more accurately, while the screen its self is more power-savvy as it consumes the same amount of energy regardless of whether it displays bright or dark colors. AMOLED displays in contrast drain nearly twice more power when screening white colors, while power consumption drops to nearly zero for blacks.
Color accuracy, on the other hand, was three times better on an IPS screen than on Samsung’s AMOLED, which in return offers punchy colors with pumped up contrasts and plenty of eye candy.
"The certification from Intertek proves that AH-IPS is more suitable for mobile displays than AMOLED,” Sang Yeoup Rhee, VP of AH-IPS Marketing in LG Display said. “With credible global testing demonstrating the superiority AH-IPS, LG Display plans aggressively to promote and to highlight the superior performance of AH-IPS to consumers.”
Currently, Samsung models like the Galaxy S II represent Super AMOLED Plus on the market, while the iPhone and the iPad both sport high-res “retina” IPS displays. Which display technology do you prefer and why?

let me guess if apple gets this it will be the "most amazing breakthrough ever invented by APPLE" just like the retina display...

I don't care about the color accuracy I think the super amoled display looks better then real, I love how the colors just pop and it's easy on the eyes unlike IPS, I know because I have the g2x and a infuse 4g

IPS Crap.LG how much did you pay for the publicity? Super AMOLED plus is the best.

I find that I like the Retina display clarity of the iPhone4. However, I absolutely love the rich colours of the SAmoledPlus. The black colour of the SAPlus display are so black it's hard to tell the edge of the screen most of the times; and the colours just pop.

the IPS screen seen on apple products may look nice if you stick your eyeball on the screen, but im partial to the contrast in of the AMOLEDS.. its just a more eye pleasing screen. These new screens from LG might be different, but the current Retina displays werent very noticeable other than pixel density.
That said.. gotta love a good competition :)

Colour accuracy is not a selling point for me. Love the eye candy on the Galaxy S.

jajajjaa the only thing good on Sammy other than the Exinos.... the screen .. and Lg came from under neath and took the tilte from them... "LG argues that the AH-IPS display is superior and now it has the certification to prove it "....... yeah comeback from that Sammy kids... and as a bonus the iphone5 will have LG screens... just saying..

the iphone4 uses an LG screen.. what is your point? lol.
oh wait.. u think apple invented the "retina" display didnt ya? lol... nope, thats LG. Bet ya think apple invented the A4 chip.. oh no.. that was Sammy. What did apple invent? worldwide mass litigation!! woo hoo!
its a preference. I like many others prefer the bright colorfulness and infinite contrast of Amoled.. some people prefer to be able to put their nose on the screen and read things really tiny to show off how dense the pixels are, so they go with LG's Retina display.
between the 2 i say gimmie a bigger more colorful screen. Why do i want to have to stick my nose on the screen to read tiny print?! lol

I don't think anyone is claiming that Apple invented its retina display or the A4 chip. Are you that desperate that you feel the need to put words into other people's mouth?
Preference is one thing, getting awarded for an achievement is another. And LG has achieved an award for their technology, and your preference could not change that recognition. But of course you're an android fan. You guys are delusional to actually believe that your preferences should be given the highest honors, and should be regarded more highly than award giving bodies, lol.

IPS is technically superior, but I'd probably rather have the vibrant colors of SA+ on my phone than the accurate colors of an IPS. Sticking with IPS for my monitors and TVs though.

While the SA+ is vibrant, the way it looks in sunlight is a complete turn off. Combine that with the lack of high resolution, and you have a screen I have no interest in. I feel disgusted every time I see the screen of a Samsung Infuse. That one is the worst due to its huge screen size and terrible resolution. Even the other phones Samsung makes with their 4 inch screens are intolerable.
No, I am not an iSheep. While I acknowledge the iPhone4 has the best screen in the market right now, I use a Motorola Atrix, and its qHD display is still superior to the SA+
