Maybe one day Samsung and others will have the same display standards as Apple. Pretty wild that a newcomer can come in and design an OLED better than those that have been doing it for years.
 
iPhone owners were never given the option to adjust their displays which is why they aren’t complaining.

Was this Not already established earlier in the thread? How many iPhone owners do you know that are actually complain about they can't tune their own displays? It's likely not a very sought after request, because of how well the iPhone is calibrated as it is. Apple has some of the best LCD calibrated panels in the smart phone industry.

To be exact, Samsung won an big fat check without any competition, that’s what they won. So they can charge Apple any amount they wanted to.

I'm not sure why you feel the need to address that Samsung 'Won' something, when in reality, Apple utilized Samsung services because they were the only panel manufacturer they could produce the necessary numbers for OLED panels. This topic or my previous post is not about who won anything and or remotely related.

Did Apple calibrate the display themselves? Nope. They gave Samsung the specifics and Samsung did it. Apple did not physically calibrate and tune the X display. Samsung did.

Can You cite/provide a source stating that Samsung specifically calibrated the OLED panels? (Aside from manufacturing them.) I would be (And others) interested in reading your claims.
 
Ultimately, regardless of who manufactured a component it's the brand that gets placed on the final product that answers for its quality and performance. If you had a problem with your iPhone X screen, you're not sending it in to Samsung for repair.
If there was something wrong with the screen people would be blaming Samsung Just like people are questioning LG’s ability to make oled displays in phones after the pixel XL and LG V30 displays.

Not unheard off though, on TVs ALL OLED utilises the same LG panel, and all LG, Panasonic, Sony, Philips, Loewe look different, and you could pick one you prefer...Yet when you actually calibrate them properly they all look the same :)
 
More like Apple asked Samsung “Can you make it do this? We don’t care how it’s done just as long as it’s calibrated the way we want and fits in this frame”. Samsung went to the drawing board and figured out how to meet Apples expectations. Then Samsung presented the schematics and prototype. Finally, Apple gave them the green light for mass production. Apple does not have the R&D of Samsung when it comes to OLED displays. Foxconn just throws all the components together do the final product. Totally different. lol


You're wrong about "we don't care how it's done", but okay.

So I'm watching a few shows on the FX Now app and it could be the first and only video app that doesn't somehow hide the Home Bar, that I've used.

Naturally this made me concerned about possible burn in while watching this app. However, I noticed something interesting the app is doing with the Home bar. Depending on the background color, the Home Bar shifts between white, gray, and black.

This made me ask myself another question... Is burn in more about the shape/area of the pixels or about the color/intensity of the pixels occupying that shape/area or both!?

I know the BGR findings mentioned 510 hours for any burn in, and I'm sure no one will ever come up against that, I was just curious in general, and thought it was interesting how the FX Now App was handling the Home Bar by being present and the color shifting.

TIA for discussing!!!
