for better color accuracy and contrast, while LCD displays are considered more power efficient.
And that's not counting other upgrades to the iPhone X — like the faster A11 processor, wireless charging, and a True Tone display

Tablet Display Trends
Better, Bigger, and Brighter An invited feature article on Tablet displays written
for the Society
for Information Display that examines the most important current trends
for Tablet displays including Full
Color Gamuts, improved Absolute
Color Accuracy, LTPS, IGZO and Metal - Oxide Backplanes.
Display
Color Accuracy will continue to rapidly improve, particularly
for mobile displays, now that all of the leading products are providing a fairly
good match to the sRGB / Rec.709 Standard
Color Gamut.
On the other hand,
for the iPad mini 3, the much smaller 62 percent
Color Gamut resulted in a much higher error of 6.8 JNCD going up as high as 22.6 JNCD, which resulted in a
Good to Poor Absolute
Color Accuracy rating.
In our detailed Lab tests the measured Absolute
Color Accuracy for the
for the iPad Air is 3.8 JNCD, which falls into our
Good (rather than Very
Good)
Color Accuracy rating.
Color Accuracy is especially important
for professional imaging applications when you must be sure of the on - screen image
colors, when viewing photos from family and friends (because you often know exactly what they actually should look like),
for some TV shows, movies, and sporting events with image content and
colors that you are familiar with, and also
for viewing online merchandise, so you have a very
good idea of exactly what
colors you are buying and are less likely to return them.
In addition there are continuing developments in
color gamuts and
color accuracy, higher resolutions and ppi, brighter and low reflectance displays
for better screen visibility in bright ambient light, and many continuing enhancements
for both LCDs and OLEDs that we will discuss below.
There are many other applications that require or would benefit from much
better Absolute
Color Accuracy, such as in sales and marketing presentations, and especially in medical imaging, where it can improve diagnostic accuracy for doctors, hospitals and p

Scoring 0.81 on the Delta - E test
for color accuracy (closer to 0 is
better), the Switch 11 has a much more accurate display than the average ultraportable laptop (5.18), Inspiron 11 (1.55) and Satellite Radius 11 (8.82).
As DisplayMate found out, the Galaxy Tab S establishes new records
for best Tablet display performance in: Highest
Color Accuracy, Infinite Contrast Ratio, Lowest Screen Reflectance, and smallest Brightness Variation with Viewing Angle.
The Delta - E test
for color accuracy (where lower is
better) gave the Inspiron 11's display a score of 0.9, which is far
better than the average
for ultraportable notebooks (4.83).
The Amazon tablet scored a «very
good» rating
for the absolute
color accuracy, whereas the iPad Air got a «
good rating» and the Nexus 10 was «poor.»
They say it has
better picture quality and
color accuracy than most HDTVs, laptops, and monitors, and that it has the highest measured Contrast Rating
for High Ambient Light of any tablet that they've tested.
Like the new iPad, the Kindle Fire HD has
better picture quality and
color accuracy than most HDTVs, laptops, and monitors, so it could wind up being your most accurate display
for viewing photos, videos and web content.
My
best advice is to order a physical Pantone ® Guide
for truest
color accuracy.
Really, calling it «average» means that while it might not be great
for professional photo editing where a wide
color gamut and great
accuracy are required, the display is still very
good for productivity work and watching video.
It doesn't have terribly wide
color gamut or great
color accuracy, though, and so its
better for number crunchers and writers than it is
for photo editors.
Though this laptop isn't marketed with a calibrated display
for graphics professionals, it does have very

color temperature are not as
good.
JDI's IPS displays are known
for their
color accuracy and overall quality image, although being an LCD inherently means that black levels aren't the

color accuracy with a saturation rate that's just right, and of course great viewing angles with no obvious light bleed from the edges.
This results in the
best screen I've seen yet on a mobile device
