DisplayMate is an industry standard for optimising, calibrating, testing, evaluating and comparing all types of displays and display technologies, such as LCD, OLEDs etc. The company recently published its analysis on the newly released Samsung Galaxy S9 display and claims it’s display as the best smartphone screen ever made and beats the iPhone X, which was the best earlier.
The company’s technical research also explained that the Galaxy S9 has set a new benchmark in terms of high absolute colour accuracy and visually indistinguishable from perfect and also says its better than your current OLED and UHD smartphones and UHD or 4K televisions as well.
In addition to that, the screen on the Galaxy S9 has enhanced brightness mode which seems to be up to 20 per cent brighter that Galaxy S8. The research says that S9 has earned the company ‘s highest-earning grade, which A+ grade in its display and performance records. The Galaxy S9 also provides from 363 to 544cd/m2 (nits), which apparently is the very brightest display that the company has ever measured so far for a smartphone with auto brightness turned off. The S9’s screen reflectance is 4.4 per cent, which also is lowest of what they tested.
“The Galaxy S9 delivers uniformly consistent all-around Top Tier display performance and receives All Green (Very Good to Excellent) Ratings in All of the DisplayMate Lab Test and Measurement Categories – the first display we have ever tested to get All Green in All Categories. The level of display performance and excellence has been increasing each year, and the Galaxy S9 has raised the bar higher,” the research says.
Even though the Apple iPhone X had the best display title from the DisplayMate previously, the irony is that it had also been manufactured by Samsung itself. There might be two more OLED panels from the upcoming iPhones this year and another from Google Pixel, which might be given a tougher competition to Galaxy S9 in the display department.
