iPhone X – The First Problems with the OLED Screen

The iPhone X has the first problems reported for the new OLED screen, with reviewers finding that it is not quite as perfect as Apple customers would like.

iPhone X has the first problems with the OLED screen reported by some of those who had the phone for just a day in tests to make a review the new product of the Americans. According to those who have spent a little time with the iPhone X, the OLED screen seems to have problems that are often found in components of this kind, although many people believed that Apple would manage to make a superior product, but this is not the case.

iPhone X has problems with brightness and color saturation when the images on the screen are viewed from different angles, problems that have been reported on other phones as well. The Apple company stated that it tried to solve these problems as much as possible before implementing the OLED screen in the iPhone X, but reality beats the film, and the Americans did not manage to do much.

"The one area where this display falls prey to standard OLED gripes is in off-axis viewing. Apple tells me that it has done work to counter the drop-in saturation and shift to blue that affects OLED screens traditionally. I can tell you that, compared to other OLED screens, you have to get further "off of center" to see a real shift in color, holding the phone 30 degrees or more off of dead on."

The iPhone X will display faded, distorted colors and lower brightness when viewed from an angle, the greater tilt increasing the effect the user sees when using the phone. According to the testers, if we look at the iPhone X screen from an angle of 30 degrees or more, we will see very clearly that it displays distorted colors, but also that the brightness is lower than it should be.

The iPhone X displays colors with a blue tinge and low saturation, the effect being very clearly visible, even if the reviewers say that it is not quite as bad as on other Android phones. However, we are talking about a problem that we will certainly see exemplified in many video clips in which the iPhone X will be presented in detail, so we can expect an onslaught of problems in the following days.

"But it is still there. For people who share their phone's screen or use it at odd angles a lot, it will be noticeable. On some phones, OLEDs go super blue. On the iPhone X it's more of a slight blue shift with a reduction in saturation and dynamic range. It's not terrible, but it definitely exists."

The iPhone X with its OLED screen generates a lot of fears regarding the fact that there could be burn-in or ghosting problems, i.e. interface elements that remain permanently displayed on the screen. Well, no one has complained about this so far, but how much can you discover in a single day of using the iPhone X, and here we can assume again that Apple wanted exactly this from its phone.

The iPhone X will definitely generate a lot of complaints from a lot of people after it is released, but I'm curious to see how many people will blame the OLED screen for the problems listed above. I think the iPhone X will be highly criticized due to the fact that people expect a perfect mobile phone, considering the selling price, without thinking that it is ultimately just an electronic product.
