The Google Pixel has a crazy crisp display. Just kidding, this is automated text so who knows if this screen is any good. So, you be the judge! A higher rating indicates that it's extremely sharp and clear, and that you cannot see pixels with your naked eye.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The screen looks higher res. than it actually is - awesome display panel.
Yes. I can't say I notice the difference between the very crisp Nexus 6P display and this Pixel's display. That's a very good thing considering that the 6P is a 1440p display.

The screen is sharp, and saturated. Touching the screen feels like holding a chick's hand.
I have to agree with the others. I was reluctantly hoping the screen would be good but it is absolutely gorgeous to the point where I would NOT want a higher resolution (for battery/performance reasons). If you're majorly into VR then you might disagree with me but I don't think anybody is going to have a question with the screen quality without the magnification VR systems use.
Note: the colors are a little oversaturated with a cool tint but you can very easily enable sRGB mode and it fixes that VERY well. I go back and forth between the two settings. I enjoy the oversaturated colors for typical use but I switch to sRGB when I'm doing web development so I can see the truer colors.
I cannot tell the difference between this and the LG V20 (quad HD) side-by-side (in terms of clarity - the LCD vs. AMOLED is incredibly apparent). Love the screen so far!
wait seriously? the v20 looks like 500x better than this screen. this one is terrible compared to the v20.

from which the manufacturer is your display Sharp or JDI? Mine is JDI and quality is perfect.
Which one is yours?
Where can I see that?

That app did not show my screen manufacturer. Do you have another to try?
JDI
My Black Mate 20 got JDI panel, my wife & friend got Midnight Blue device using Sharp panel.
From what i observe, JDI panel got a bit 'cold' color temp & best way change it to 'warm' for much accuracy. Sharp panel are too much 'warm' color temp out of the box on default. U have to custom choose color temp between 'default' & 'cold' to match the JDI 'warm' color temp for accuracy.
Device Info HW does not give me the screen manufacturer, but since I have the Midnight Blue it might be a Sharp panel (?). However I find the quality to be just superb, putting it side by side with a Galaxy S7 Edge AMOLED I honestly can't tell the difference in regular use and the blacks look deep enough to not make me think it's an LCD panel. Really impressed!
JDI!
well interesting you brought this up
it is written under touchscreen as shoen in screenshot sharp synaptics
when i went for the huawei store 1st to try the phone i liked the color temperature it was white and cold .. but when i bought the phone i found it very yellowish and has a reddish color oversaturation
i can fix it partially by setting color to vivid and move tge pointer to tge blue area .. this way whites might be fixed partially but still red objects are oversaturated
so i have multiple problems here on the sharp panel :
1st the strong yellowish color tint
2nd the oversaturated red color
3rd mistyping errors even after turning all gestures off
4th watching youtube videoclips in landscape mode kind if increase tge contrast and oversaturate colors in a very artificial looking way .. wanna see tge difference just open youtube in browser desktop mode and notice color hanges as you watch in fullscreen landscape mode
i left mistuping errors uncorrected to show you .. it is not spelling mistakes it is typing errors where you instead if typing "the" the keyboard types "tge"
i used alot of 3rd party keyboards but still no major improvement .. also whenever i try to type fast i feel tge keyboard lagging a bit
My is JDI, is OK, I exchange phone a few times because of bad screen uniformity.
This one is perfect, but now I have a rattling sound (near to the lens when laying the phone in a table or taping the back) on the top of the phone some build issue...

i don't know why i seem to be the only one, i always wanted a note because it's been praised as the best display of all time i finally got a note 10+ and the display disappoints me to no end, first off the colors are dull, my xperia xz1 on super vivid mode has more vibrant colors, second off the brightness it's not amazing if i compare my note 10+ to my huawei mate 10 pro the huawei appears more vibrant and bright, the huawei is running a custom rom, my note 10 + has custom white balance settings with green and red turned down to 0 and it's still too yellow for my taste the screen mode is itensive and yes bluelight filter is off, when i use the note 10+ on it's own i get used too it and i see no issues with the display but then i start up my mate 10 pro and get a much whiter better white and overall brighter image, my note 10+ is set to +10 brightness and high performance mode all auto brightness off and max brightness, white still appears dull colors appear dull, why am i the only one who feels this way?
Was gonna ask if your blue light filter thing was on. The white seers into my brain unless I have the filter on. This seems to be the best display I've ever used. And you're saying other phones are brighter? I haven't found a single phone brighter than this one. Maybe a defective screen?

which white looks best to you in your honest opinion? the note 10 is as mentioned on the highest brightness possible with intensive mode turned on with the coldest possible setting and high performance mode with brightness 10+ adaptive brightness off blue light filter off brightness slider max

Not every note is that yellowish u have to win the Display lottery
I changed the Screen mode from Natural to Vibrant and the colors are a lot brighter and vibrant.

You must have a dud. the screen on my Exynos N10+ is freaking amazing!
As zzcool said, my screen is absolutely gorgeous, now I see netflix in its full splendor, but you have to tweak the display settings to suit your taste
The display is what everyone who see's my Note 10+ mentions first. They are amazed at how good it is...
Maybe a side to side comparison to another phone might show it up but everyone who's seen it goes gaga over it...

it's set to high performance which forces max resolution and max brightness, the images i posted earlier show the difference between my note 10+ and my mate 10 pro you see how the color of the white has a red tint despite being as cold as it possibly can get

my tweaks are the following
max performance with brightness 10+ enabled and brightness slider to the highest possible settingm, intensive with the temp slider to the far left as in coldest as it gets then advanced white balance both red and green turned down to 0 blue turned to max meaning the screen should have an extreme blue tint it doesn't, i tried the google books method and blue light is always off when i launch the app so it's not that, i even tried calibrating colors under accessability where you have to rearrange colored balls result are almost identical to what i had with a slight yellow tint to the white so worse than before i turned that off again
i had this issue with the original display and now the replacement one when i havenothing to compare to white looks great colors pop screen looks good white feels slightly dull but it's hard to tell, but then i go back to my xperia xz1 or mate 10 pro and feel a huge difference in white and overall color performance, both displays pop a lot more than the note 10+
might i add i am ultra sensitive to warm displays so what looks great to someone else might look like a yellow mess to me i always increase blue on all displays i have my sony af9 is set to cold with all color enhancers to max i need colors that pop with no yellow tint what so ever, i am not a fan of accurate colors at all
Being the most accurate display of colors doesn't mean it'll be your favorite. Maybe you prefer less accurate (seriously, no snark here). But brightness should be pretty clear cut... No idea why yours wouldn't be as bright.

well i already know i hate accurate colors i want bright vibrant cold colors anything accurate to me looks dull and yellow the surface pro i have which is known for it's accurate calibration almost looked black and white to me until i got it decent by forcing intel control panel and increasing color intensity but the screen was so terrible on it i stopped using it i just couldn't deal with that display so it's been collecting dust ever since, my xperia xz1 is using super vivid mode with blue turned up to 171 the screen becomes complete trash without super vivid mode and it becomes the best display i have ever seen with super vivid mode turned on, i wasn't a huge fan of the display on the xperia 1 either that phone has no super vivid mode and the display was rather dull to me but the brightness and white was miles better than the note 10+ especially when it forced the brightness to max on apps like youtube (it dimmed outside of certain apps which i could not handle so i sent it back but on youtube the brightness was just mindblowing the white was so perfect and clear then it wen't gray as soon as it would dim when i exited the youtube app)

I would say the Mate looks slightly brighter and whiter. Not sure what could be happening. My screen looks great. I have to tone it down quite a bit so the images don't seer into my retinas. Simply turning off the blue light filter makes my eyes hurt.
Remove your sunglasses.
thank me later

I believe that the Note interface is more greyish than white. This is why even without the blue filter, if you do not increase backlight alot, it is not quite white.
It can be seen on the Home screen, when you group-up some apps icons in a folder, have a look at the white of the icons and compare it to the white of the folder itself. Not same white. The surrounding white of the folder is grey, not white.
Same goes for the google search on home screen, it is not white compared to the the white of say, the Google Apps icon.
Maybe try another theme if you do not like it ?

Hi, I recently bought mi 11x and have been using it for past couple of days. What I have noticed is that the shaprness of my phone's display is very high and because of that everything looks really bad on the screen... Like artifacts around black text on white background or anything running in low resolution... Is this normal or there's any problem with my display? Should I get my device replaced? Is anyone else is facing similar issue with mi 11x/poco f3/redmi k40 ? Is this MIUI issue and will it be solved if I install custom rom?
what phone did you use prior to mi 11x ?
PS: there is no such thing as sharpened display

this is not tv or monitor, phones generally don't have any Sharpness settings, pixels can be turned off or combined to the lower resolution, i simply wonder if op was using LCD or different ppi density prior to buying this phone

We don't have settings for sharpness indeed but manufacturer does . They can fine tune the display as they like...
Different phones can have different feels to them regardless of pixel density or panel type

Please refer below images. I have tried to capture the text fringing and white artifacts (light shadows) around black text with my old phone's camera.
I hope these images will give you better idea of what issue i am facing right now with AMOLED display.
The outcome required with this discussion would be to check if there is something wrong with my phone's display or this is generally normal with AMOLED displays.
And if there is some problem with sharpness, do i need to get it replaced???
P.S. - I have tried to capture the issue.. i don't know the pictures are doing the justice to reflect the issue but all these mentioned halo effects and text fringing are quite visible to the naked eyes.
My poco f3 also has this problem
this is a common problem with pentile AMOLED panels it seems. I am not sure why this still exists in 2021 though. Maybe Xiaomi and other Chinese brands are using low-quality panels. I checked a few phones. Newer Samsungs don't have this issue.
From what I searched it did popup in S3 when Samsung started using these panels first.
I checked Realme GT ME and MI 11x both and both had the same issue, whereas some old Vivo phones, MI A3, Samsung S5 were perfectly fine.
I think it's just cost-cutting from these brands to use lower-quality E4 panels.
wow... looking to my F3.... i see normal... cant see that very small haloing effect.
Try it with black text on white or white text on black also on setting menu...
Maybe my eyes not good anymore...
Your concerns are absolutely valid and the commentors claiming sharpness doesn't exist are noobs. I've had the same issues with Xiaomi phones. It's a little like a lottery. For the same model, some devices can get a high quality display and some units get a lower quality display where you can see it to be overtuned or artifacts.
Or there could be another possibility as widely discussed, Xiaomi takes displays from multiple manufacturers but ends up using the same fine tuning values for all the units of the model, for Eg Poco F3. As a result, your friend can have the exact same device and a perfect look display while you are left with a shady display with issues.
I ended up getting three pixel 6's and a 6 pro, because i'm picky about screens.
- The screen lottery is still real.
- All three pixel 6's have different Mura Effect. None of them have no Mura Effect. Many people don't notice this until it's pointed out to them, but with normal vision it's obvious on dark colors with a dim screen in a dark room (i.e. everyone's phone in bed every night).
- The 6's have a grayer graypoint than the 6 pro. The 6 pro's graypoint is slightly green.
- The regular 0%-100% brightness is relatively similar between the 6's and the 6 pro.
- The high brightness mode on all pixel 6's is brighter than the pro.
I'm torn between having a bright display (pixel 6) and a uniform display (pixel 6 pro). I think I'll opt for the uniform display, and for yet another year suffer for the notoriously dim pixel displays.
But for all the **** the pixel 6 display gets for not being "modern", it's literally a better display IMO except for the uniformity problems.
- it's flat, seriously **** curved edges for a plethora of reasons
- it's smaller, far from small but not quite unweildy
- brighter
- more neutral whites and grays
PIXEL DISPLAY PROTIP:
The default display mode, Adaptive, crushes blacks on the dimmest brightness levels. Switch to Boosted, which has the exact same saturation, but doesn't crush blacks! This makes it so that details in the darker parts of media is not crushed to black when you're watching stuff in bed. Use this this image to check it out. Edit the image to blacken out the white square, and then open it in a gallery app (some browsers change how colors appear, e.g. dark mode in the samsung browser darkens images, so don't do any real image-based tests in browsers), and then switch between Adaptive and Boosted. You're welcome .

thanks for the tip
also dxomark puts the pro more colour accurate than the 6
that and the off angle green/pink hues the none pro get are pretty well known now
If you're rooted and flash a kernel you can enable HBM (high brightness mode) and then the screen is even brighter than an S21 Ultra or any other device.

Glad to help.
I prefer more neutral whites and grays to a 2% increase in "color accuracy". Display variance is so massive among all phones in the world, and color accuracy is already so good on high end phones, that color accuracy is a meme. What everyone does notice, however, is whether white and grays seem tinted yellow/orange/green etc.

I already do that and it doesn't help that much. In direct sunlight with HBM enabled, the 6 Pro is definitely significantly dimmer than the 6's, which are both dimmer than my S21 Ultra, which is dimmer still than my 13 Pro Max.
It's classic google phone dimness. I'm shocked the 6 broke that mold...I just wish it was the 6 pro instead.
