So how should we interpret the result? Is being able to view "1" the best?

EDIT: oh sorry didn't notice you'd already replied. thanks.

I wonder if those Note 2 users on Perseus kernel with that color tweak can see till "1" or you can see it without tweaking?

Yes, normally best to see up till 1, which mean display no black clipping.

QUOTE(eszol @ Apr 27 2013, 05:03 PM)
on s3 can only see til 6

Yeah, i got test on S3 before.

Dont quite understand what you want. I can see 3 at naximum  brightness

The image just to test the display can deal with blacks that are not fully black yet. Can see 3 at max brightness is pretty decent, on par with my Note.

Black clipping issue kinda affect you when watching movie, because the dark scenes become too "dark" as the screen cannot support the "not pure black" colors. The image actually is a bunch of gradients from grey-to-black. In Note xda forums, a lot of owner face the issue where the clipping is very bad, so when they watch movie can see grey/black blotches.

According to some user research, it's half hardware issue, half software. Apparently in S3/NoteII, they can fix and tweak the kernel to produce the proper result, but not so much luck for previous generation owner.

So for S IV, was wondering if Samsung still continue with the issue or not. Just for curiosity, since no big review site actually got test this.

Much thanks to all the owner for helping to test!

My SIII's black level is decent, but no where near able to display pure black. Seems like S4's black level is much better.

S4 users try to go into a completely dark room with no lights whatsoever and display a black wallpaper, see if it's as black as your surrounding tongue.gif

I'm curious to see if the new generation AMOLEDs are able to display pure PITCH BLACK or not. The only panel capable of displaying PITCH BLACK is afaik the Kuro Plasma of 2008. Still unbeatable until today...

I’ve mentioned “black levels” a few times already and most of you probably don’t know or don’t even care what that means.  Does it really matter?  Well Pioneer thought it mattered enough to name their TV after this fact, and as we’ve already established, they made the best TV’s of all time.  Black levels basically means the ability of the TV to create total blackness.  The Pioneer Elite KURO created the absolute darkest blacks of any TV ever created.  You could have the TV on a pitch black scene in a dark room and you wouldn’t even know the TV was turned on.  Most LCD’s created a dark grey or a glowing “black” appearance on black scenes, but the KURO could create almost an “infinite black.”  One of the biggest selling points of TV’s these days is the “Contrast Ratio”, meaning the range from darkest black to brightest white.  The best LCD TV’s now produce 1:5,000,000 contrast ratios.  They achieve this by making their TV’s brighter.  Don’t get me wrong, LCD/LED’s produce decent black levels, but because the KURO’s black levels were so dark they contrast ratio was “unmeasurable”  stated as being “near infinite.”  The black levels are the canvas of any picture and darker blacks create an environment for better color accuracy and more realistic picture quality which the KURO possessed as well.  Now days, the KURO has become something of a legend.  If you walk into an electronics store and ask a specialist if they have a TV as good as the KURO, they’ll usually laugh and say something like, “I wish!”  This TV has recently sold for over $10000 used on Amazon and $12000 new on eBay.  That’s right, it’s brought over double its original MSRP.  The last time I was in Ultimate Electronics I even asked the manager where I could buy the best TV in the world and he stated simply, “eBay!”

Is there a program where you can back up your stuff on the SD Card and then restore in your new phone?

Gonna change to S4 from a Note 2 and want to transfer my stuff the most painless way possible.
