But what about all that blue tint? It can't be good...
Thoughts on good s-pen drawing or note taking apps? On the VZW phone, when you take the s-pen out, it brings up a few apps, and a lot of templates that are pre-drawn. I would love to have a drawing/note app that would keep scaling indefinitely, sort of like how Vizio works. Scroll/zoom out and you get more space. Anything like it exist?
I don't have a lot of blue tint. Maybe you should stick to trolling OT.
The Galaxy Notes 1280 x 800 display actually loses a few lines of pixels in the new model, now offering a 1280 x 720 resolution, but Samsung believes the 16:9 aspect ratio and a move away from Pentile technology will be appreciated upgrades for users. Despite no longer employing the standard Pentile RGBG subpixel arrangement, the Note II still doesnt have three identically sized subpixels per dot its now just swapped the extra green for extra blue, so in functional terms, this can be considered a sort of Pentile lite. Another recurring downside to AMOLED panels is a blue tinge to the images displayed, which is very much apparent on the Galaxy Note II. I cant help but feel that Samsung is nurturing a generation of people wholl grow up to have a broken internal color balance.
It really depends on what you do on the phone. If you're using apps that use alot of white, or have a light colored wallpaper, I suppose you'll notice it.
Dari, quit trolling here, seriously. You have nothing of value to add to this conversation and the point has been mentioned in reviews of the phone. I vary rarely notice it, even on completely white screens.
I so wish SED/FED development wasn't stopped...
Stop crying. I didn't mean to rain on your parade. Just wanted to show prospective owners what they'd be getting into. Fact is, Samsung has polluted all their high end phones with their crappy AMOLED screens that, as TheVerge points out, they are conditioning people to awful color balance. Therefore, reviews may take it as a given and not mention it at all. The phone's hardware, aside from the screen, is nice. But that panel is god-awful.
Me too. Canon quit too early. They should have sold the tech to someone else.
I don't see any blue tint on my Note 2. Do you have one?
Co-worker has one and I've had to use it to show her how to use Android. It hurts my eyes...
Must be defective.
Nah, I saw similar blue tints on the demo models and on the original Notes as well. I've mentioned them here. Excuses have ranged from denial to calibration fixes everything to suggestions of switching everything to black (lol) defective model. All three types of excuses are basically saying the same thing...Samsung's AMOLED is flawed. But it's a technology they're married to so there is no turning back for them.
Thread-crapping by the Japanese guy who hates Samsung lacks credibility and should be ignored.
Several persons who actually have a Note 2 and say they see little to no blue tint vs. somebody who doesn't own one and says the blue tint does exist...
Seems like a no brainer who to believe.
We had a pair of Galaxy S2s with a difference in screen temperature. Both looked fine on their own, but side by side one was noticeably bluer.
I bring it up because they were also SAMOLED plus screens.
