There's a good article on the subject on Ars Technica, here. |
I hear what you say and have seen the studies. But all I really know is what my eyes tell me.
At night when I read on the samsung I use night mode. The black is pitch black and gives off no light. The fonts are gray so they don't radiate that much and reading on it is very nice. I do see pixels but not much, the text is very crisp.
In contrast to my nook, the black is not black and it gives off light. The pixels are also noticeable.
In daylight when I watch a movie on my phone or play a game the colors come to life. The nook screen is good and without comparison is good enough, but it does not compare to the Super AMOLED.
I don't know if you have both technologies, but I've never met a person that had both and said their regular LCD is better than the Super AMOLED.
