I am also on 11. To be honest, I do not want to jump from LCD to OLED, for me it's a downgrade:(
(I often use it on low brightness in dim ambient light)
(I often use it on low brightness in dim ambient light)
I'm curious, why? I hate the whole screen glow of LCD in low light, much preferring the pure black of OLED.
Swings and roundabouts… for some people the grey tinge and messed up gamma curve of low brightness OLED is unacceptable. For others text readability in darkness is key
There’s also the PWM argument which has been beaten to death
And if I have full screen glow anyway then LCD looks better due to less flicker.
also: burn in
Can't believe I haven't done it already actually. I've noticed that nearly everything in life flickers from microwaves (each digit is lit up sequentially! I can't believe we can't see this) to my LCD laptop screen (flickers in different colors! Red comes first, then green and blue, it's extremely obvious on the slow motion but, with my own eyes, I'll only occasionally catch a glimpse of red when I look away from something white that just turned on, and even then I'm not sure if I'm just seeing things), but the phones I looked at so far must have been LCD then
I heard that it can be opposite in TV world, some backlit LCD panels flicker as hell while some OLEDs manage to flicker less but I never owned a TV to make observations
All phone OLED exhibits this, though iphone is one of the more egregious ones.
I saw a couple mentions of this today that I’d never heard of before. Do you know if there have been any studies (preferably double-blind) into this?
FWIW I don't think I have any sort of special sensitivity, I just don't like it and it annoys me whenever I notice it
If I was not using my phone in the dark at low brightness as much I would probably be fine with OLED...
Also maybe they made it better since first OLED iphones, but they never say anything about PWM in press releases and it is kind of expensive to just buy it to try and throw out if it still sucks.
