iPhone 16 Pro Max Screen brightness on 16 Pro/Max [MERGED]

So for the info, because many of us was wondering - it seems LG are using their own roadmap/path for OLED and they are completely independent (was expected). iPhone 16 Pro/Max with LG screens are using either RSL or RSM OLED materials. I'd say the latter.
For RSM - Deuterium material was applied to the green device.

I’m so appalled at this. To think that you pay the same as anyone else yet you receive this abominable display.
I’ve detailed my experience on Reddit, but the short story is the display of my 16PM is worse than a 15P I compared it to, and worse than 3 other 16PMs I compare it to in an Apple (wannabe) store.
My two simple questions: what is the best display you can get so far? Appears to be a Samsung one going through this thread…
And the second: how can you readily verify which display your phone has? I tried the diagnostics method shared a few pages back and didn’t work for me…

GVC Panel right here, thinking to return in it and play the lottery panel, the panel just feels pale on the colors, cant edit with it, also is weird but some videos like tiktoks o ig reels looks awfull, idk going to apple to change it
I went through 12-15 PM, 3 Samsung, rest LG. Samsung was the best for all 3. The good LG panels looked identical to Samsung when viewed head on, but suffered off axis green shift.
And how was the brightness overall for you both? Here like I said, sister's GVC was less bright and wasn't going so dim like my Samsung.
Both 16PM, left one is Samsung G9N and LG GH3 on the right :

Which one do you prefer?
Try to have them both on sub 40% brightness. Cheers. Since full brightness covers most anomalies up.Both 16PM, left one is Samsung G9N and LG GH3 on the right :
Samsung one gets brighter with manual brightness but LG gets dimmer in a dark room, I haven't tested them outdoors to see which one is brighter under sunlight.
Samsung has a slight red tint but it's not really noticeable in person, phone camera kind of exaggerates it.
Overall LG one seems to be more uniform.
So the brightness levels are also random and not 100% panel related.
Mine gets really bright and really dim.LG Display nailed it this generation when it comes about uniformity.
Yeah, I've noticed this on my sister's GVC. Despite being dimmer and having greenish tint, it was nicely uniform.
