It's strange that people associate PenTile with AMOLED. PenTile is a sub-pixel arrangement which has nothing (read as: absolutely nothing) to do with what type of display you have. There are PenTile LCD displays (like Moro Atrix). But people just would like to believe everything they hear in the forums. Then you get some smartasses who think they know everything. Again AMOLED doesn't mean it has to be PenTile. Note uses PenTile, S2 used RGB, S3 has PenTile, now Note 2 has again RGB matrix. For the last time, AMOLED doesn't mean you should have PenTile. These are 2 totally different entities. You can have PenTile in both AMOLED and LCD, same is also true for RGB.
