DisplayMate ^ | October 7, 2016 | Dr. Raymond M. Soneira — President, DisplayMate Technologies Corporation

Posted on 10/07/2016 1:58:17 PM PDT by Swordmaker

Introduction

The key element for a great Smartphone has always been a truly innovative and top performing display, and the best leading edge Smartphones have always flaunted their super high tech displays. It is the display performance that determines how good and how beautiful everything on the Smartphone looks, including camera photos, and also how readable and how usable the screen is in high ambient lighting. The display is the crown jewel of the Smartphone!

At first glance the iPhone 7 looks almost indistinguishable from the 2014 iPhone 6 and 2015 iPhone 6s. Actually, the displays are the same size and have the same pixel resolution. But that is as far as it goes... The iPhone 7 display is a Truly Impressive major enhancement and advancement on the iPhone 6 display... and even every other mobile LCD display that we have ever tested... note that I hand out compliments on displays very carefully. And for those of you thinking of Emailing that we got hand-picked units, the iPhones were purchased retail from Verizon Wireless.

What’s New

Below are just a few of the most important and interesting display enhancements and improvements on the iPhone 7 that we’ll cover in detail in this article:

We’ll cover all of these issues and much more, with in-depth comprehensive display tests, measurements and analysis that you will find nowhere else.

The iPhone 7 display is a Truly Impressive major enhancement and advancement on the iPhone 6 display... and even every other mobile LCD display that we have ever tested... note that I hand out compliments on displays very carefully. . .

. . .Other manufacturers will need to play catch-up fast. . .

The display on the iPhone 7 is a Truly Impressive Top Performing Display and a major upgrade and enhancement to the display on the iPhone 6. It is by far the best performing mobile LCD display that we have ever tested, and it breaks many display performance records.

Finally, the conclusion of DisplayMate is that the iPhone 7 display is:

The Absolute Color Accuracy of the iPhone 7 is Truly Impressive as shown in these Figures. It is the most color accurate display that we have ever measured. It is Visually Indistinguishable from Perfect, and is very likely considerably better than on any mobile display, monitor, TV or UHD TV that you have. So photos, videos, and online content and merchandise will appear correct and beautiful.

This is the core summary:

Inner triangles are prior tech, outer is iPhone 7 & UHD, white is limit of human perception. Saying it's as good as it gets is a bit much, but very few will notice the difference.

Let’s get buying folks. Every dollar paid for Apple Merchandise is an in-kind donation to Hillary Clinton.

Exactly. Same with Google, Yahoo, and Facebook.
American companies have become so politicized that sometimes I have had no choice but to buy from foreign companies! Given that the Tech giants are supporting a candidate who wants America to be subsumed by “the World”, thus destroying the US as a nation state, I am doing my patriotic duty to not help them.

Geez, Okie. I'm sure hoping you didn't actually somehow ping your comment to the whole Apple Ping List -- that you just took the displayed part of the handles from Swordmaker's comment above.

What you wrote isn't true. It's just trolling. Yeah, Apple like most tech companies is filled with Libs. Big deal. Don't buy their products. But no, that's not enough for you.

D@mn you trolls are obnoxious. Just like seagulls -- fly in squawking like hell, cr@p all over things, and fly out squawking. Why not start your own d@mn ping list, maybe the "Apple Hate Ping List".

*sigh*

You're not worth my time. See ya...

Okie, your using the list members for your over-the-top reply is reprehensible. . . they are not members of the Apple Ping list so you can SPAM them.

Oh yea, who's the liar? It's not hard to find out Cook hosted fundraisers for Hillary, ALGORE is campaigning for her and on the Board.

It's not difficult to put together that Apple has funded Hillary's coffers and we all know here that

Losers vote for Hillary.

This is a conservative forum and Apple is as liberal as they get. You can always find some liberal forum to post your advertisements for Apple.

I appreciate the honesty and “gentlemanliness” of both dayglored & Swordmaker.

Now if only all FReepers would display the same classiness.

My apologies for the bad behavior of a thread troll for the misuse of the Apple Ping list. I do not believe he got hold of any portion of the actual list, just what is visible on the list PING to harass you few members. . . and a couple of individuals I had pinged who might have a reason to be interested in the topic.

The irrational behavior of these trolls is often beyond the pale, this has been one such incident. I am sorry that it has spilled over into your day, usually I am the only target of their Anti-Apple Hate Brigade idiocy.

No, Okie, Alphabet/Google and Android, as a company and the actions they are taking, is far more left wing than is Apple, Inc., has ever been. It is YOUR myopic viewpoint who prefer Android who just refuses to open your eyes and see that. It is Google that is blocking news about Trump, but even worse prioritizing NEGATIVE news about Trump and hiding the bad stuff about Clinton. They just de-monetized a YouTube news caster who was accurately reporting the Clinton Scandals, turning off ALL OF HIS ADVERTISING ACCOUNTS WITHOUT WARNING LAST NIGHT! Apple has done none of that, but instead has championed your constitutional right to privacy and right to keep your data yours without worrying about the government seeking to get it without serving YOU with a proper search warrant.

Yes, individuals at Apple are Liberals and a very few are homosexual. . . but the company itself does not make political donations like Alphabet/Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, etc., do. Apple does not even have a huge lobbying presence in Washington. Yet YOU focus on Apple as the problem and not your favored tech companies who DO make donations to LIBERALS, DO take action as companies to support LEFTIST causes, and DO lobby Washington against your interests.

You absolute LIE in your opening post in this thread is completely over the top in reference to the original article from an INDEPENDENT TESTING LAB and to the intent of the posting, which was to inform members of the Apple Ping List of something they're interested in knowing.

Quit being an ASSHAT! QUIT lying to make a false point. If you don't like Apple. Don't enter the threads and CERTAINLY DON'T POST IN THEM!

That dress would have to photographed with the iPhone 7's camera as well, then displayed on the iPhone 7's screen.

But we still couldn't post it and know. . .

And you don’t see Apple fans as rabidly attacking Google.

So what is it? Inferiority complex? Jealousy? Some dementia where you cannot stand the ~10% of the population who are willing to spend more for a better, more secure and better supported platform? Just seems like immaturity to me.

Good Lord, you don't ever give up, do you?

"Paid"? Neither you nor I can know that. Swordmaker gets that cr@p accusation thrown at him about Apple but I do not believe it's true, because I take a FReeper at their word until demonstrated otherwise. I have no evidence that Swordmaker works for Apple, or that ThunderSleeps works for Google, or that I work for Microsoft. Swordmaker likes Apple, ThunderSleeps likes Android, and I like Windows (most of the time).

There are plenty of fanbois of all types on FR -- Windows, Linux, Apple, Android, you name it. SO FREAKIN' WHAT? They're entitled to their opinions and preferences, and they're entitled to express them if they do so within the rules and traditions of FreeRepublic.

You seem to think that anyone who disagrees with you must be a "paid shill". Are YOU advocating that we all should think alike? That we all should not voice our support of the companies whose products we prefer? Are you really that anti-freedom? That anti-conservative? That anti-American?

Okie, I've encountered your trolling comments for a long time on virtually every Apple-related thread. Face it, you're just an Apple-hating troll with anti-Apple opinions and hatred (and apparently, a sizable dose of stoopid, since you're so easily misled by bogus clickbait articles).

This is a discussion forum. Your opinions are welcome. Your hatred and personal slurs and such cr@p, not so much -- they're boring as old, dry sh!t, and they have no place on FreeRepublic. Get a life.

He's certainly immature. Probably a juvenile hunched over his PC in his Mom's basement, wanking away with one hand and typing troll comments with the other.

I suspect mental illness, the same sort that afflicts liberals who can't tolerate the fact that someone disagrees with them.

I hope he gets the help he needs, because then, hopefully, we won't have to read his hateful cr@p comments any more.

I ain't holding my breath though. He seems pretty recalcitrant.

S-word more than likes Apple. It's non-stop Apple promotion and he gets pretty ugly when you don't agree. I guess you got blasted in the fallout.
