I know that both are Super Amoled HD... but are they using a better panel on the s3? Or does it look pretty much the same?
Thanks
Pretty much the same... the only difference is that samsung have fine tuned the display on the gs3 so whites look better as do other colours.
Samsung saying they have put pixels closer together is marketing bs.

I have a galaxy nexus and a galaxy S3 and there is a clear difference between the screens.
I have the colours tuned on my galaxy nexus and the S3 is still miles better.
Its sharper and more vibrant.
They may both be the same tech (super amoled HD) but they used better panels for.the S3.

Hi,
I was wondering if someone who has the S2 and has had or spent some time with an iPhone 4 can comment on how clear the screen/text is when reading web pages etc.
I have a Nexus One and the resolution is horrible compared to the iPhone 4.
Does the RGB vs Pentile make a big difference?
I don't have the galaxy yet, but yes text will look much sharper. The nexus one had the pentile pixel layout, new galaxy does not.
Just play with the inspire or thunderbolt. They have same size large screen with same proper pixel layout as the new galaxy s, but it will also have amoled ad well. Best of both worlds.
much much better than sgs pentile but it suffers from heavy aliasing on web pages.i did notice this as soon as i got the phone even engadget points this out. the screen is great but the text on web pages are not as sharp as i'd like them to be(i did take into consideration that iphone's ips display has higher res).i wish some dev's could start on fixing this I'd more than happy to buy them a few beers.
the screen over all is great.heck its the best out there.
I wonder why it would have worse aliasing than the nexus one or first galaxy s, since they have pentile pixels. This has higher resolution, more pixels, yet has an aliasing issue. Very strange, and disappointing...

Probably just a bug in Samsung's browser, it'll be fixed eventually.
maybe try opera or dolphin HD and see.
I wonder if the screen on the galaxy s ii will look the same as the galaxy s with voodoo color.
Super Amoled Plus = Super Amoled w/ voodoo color?
I hope supercurio cooks come kernels for this phone!
It will look better cause the galaxy s2 has physically more pixels than the super amoled.
Got an SGS2 last week and need to say I was quite deluded by text clarity. Not only does not compare to Iphone of gf (miles away) but it is even worse than Xperia Arc. I notice the aliasing on most letters not only in browser (stock or otherwise, tried several) but also on Gmail and Kindle, basically anywhere that there is a strong contrast between font color and background (ie black on white or viceversa). I'm not sure if the phone is victim of its own features like super contrast that makes jaggies more visible or there is a problem with my handset. Would appreciate if other people having the SGS2 and another phone (not pentile matrix based ofc) could report their experience.

not 100% but i believe so. The RGB has a 50% increase in sub-pixels which basically gives the appearance of having a higher resolution/ppi. (at least that's what I've been led to believe)
Heey,
I'm planning to buy the Galaxy S II, but I was thinking... (Maybe it's a dumb question...)
The resolution on the original Galaxy S is 480x800 on a 4 inch display, but on the Galaxy S II it's also 480x800 on a 4,3 inch display.
Won't there be any difference in sharpness or quality of the display?
I hope someone can explain it to me.
Thanks in advance!
i think S2 is sharper than S1 (im a s2 owner also had s1)
BUT yesterday i played with a S9003 with SLCD, it's white is whiter and text is sharper than on the S2

not really because the original galaxy s had pentile pixel matrix, which cheated and shared subpixels. the SGS2 has full RGB subpixels, giving sharper text etc.
the galaxy s really only had 600x300 or so effective pixels because of the sharing pentile crap. SGS2 has the full 3 sub pixels.
that said, i went and played with the Infuse, and thought the screen wasnt as sharp as it should have been coming from the pentile screens. even the Inspire SLCD next to it, same resolution and size, looked sharper. so i dunno...
I have Galaxy S2 and yesterday got my G Note. If I compare the colors of S2 with GNote, GNote colors seem washed out..contrast is lacking..it is quite evident in stock browser, stock email app and when looking at blue and grey color..
Is there any way to fix this? I like the higher contrast of S2
S2 has setting to choose color profile i.e. standard, dynamic etc..I see the same option is missing from GNote...can someone help?
What your more than likely noticing is the difference between Super AMOLED HD vs. Super AMOLED plus. The plus has the slight contrast advantage iirc. That's because of the better sub pixel layout found in the plus. So I don't know if there is a way around it.

could also be a defective screen. My captivate suffered from the same problem. It also has a amoled display(not plus). Turns out some of the samsung displays suffer from colors looking washed out. Id say try to compare the colors to a galaxy s I, or another galaxy note. If it looks worse get another one from them.
Went to the mall today and stopped in the Verizon/Sprint and AT&T stores...and Best Buy Mobile too, looking for the GS3 demo of course. No luck. But I did play with the Galaxy Nexus and if the screen on it is what I can expect on the GS3 I think i'm gonna be a happy camper cause it looked lovely. Anybody know if they are the same?
GS3 has a nicer screen but i think it's the same size

I don't have a GS3 (yet), and I've heard the screen is nicer. But it actually has a larger screen (not the same size as noted above). I believe Nexus is 4.65" vs. 4.8" of the GS3.

The reviews say it is better despite the lower pixel density. I wouldn't put too much stock on it though. The one on my friends GS3 looked great but some videos had some pretty pink tinted ones that didn't look too hot.
We will see. Cross our fingers.
I compared my SGS3 screen with my friends Galaxy Nexus. SGS3 is much brighter and whiter.
It's the same display, a bit different tweaks.
SGS3 display is definitely brighter than the GN, but the Galaxy Note screen is the absolute brightest of them all by a good/large margin.
SGS3 has tweaked color profile to offer more natural colors instead of being over saturated and blueish tint. Whites are definitely whiter now without the blue-ish tint. Still not as white as an IPS LCD though.

Wow...I was blown away with how nice the display was on the GNex, if the GS3 is better than that
i have both and, over-sharpening tweaks aside, the SGS3 screen is noticeably better. the Gnex has a real problem with gray's, which is quite a bit better on the SGS3 - probably because the brightness is better on every level. It's also the least pentile-looking AMOLED screen i've ever seen.
The note's display is still the best though. It's brightness, color balance and clarity are on another level.
Nothing's really wrong with my current tablet, I was wondering if the screen was noticeably better or the S-Pen made a big difference.
I have an Tab S1 10.5" myself and i use it mostly for watching my Anime video`s so the S2 and S3 are not of interest to me.
The S1 was best for Video because of the 16:10 aspect ratio, also it had a rgb-stripe screen and the dpi higher than the S2 and S3 have a 4:3 aspect ratio and a cheaper pentile display, so you would have large black boarders at the top and bottom of the screen, though the S2 and S3 is better for browsing and art and writing, also the S3 might be better for audio as it has 4 speakers.
Below is a link to a comparison of the specs between the S1, S2 and S3
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8554&idPhone2=7438&idPhone3=6235
I cannot comment on S3 colour accuracy and the new hdr mode, but it`s supposed to look great.
If anybody want to know about rgb-stripe and pentile pixel patterns.

I just did the same, and I jumped from the Tab S1 (wifi) to S3 (lte) and honestly the only benefit you get is better frame rates in some heavy/demanding games.
I mainly got the S3 because I wanted a tablet with LTE, and after the amazing S1 screen, I couldn't get any less than the S3.
So the answer is no, don't spend you money unless you want something very specific (like in my case).

The screen is much brighter on the s3. As someone said it is smaller.
Your battery is wearing out too. But I think the 10.5 had a better battery life.
