All this interest in the OLED? Am I mad?

[Guest HMZX]

There's also this ridiculously comprehensive comparison which pits the iPhone 3 & 4 screens against Nexus One and Samsung Galaxy S

The short version is that they all have advantages and disadvantages and the indvidual manufacturers and system softwares can have an impact too, it's not as simple as just OLED vs TFT.

One of the reasons for the pentile matrix is apparently to prevent mistakes when making tiny pixels. This can be described as "cheaper" (if you're an iPhone fanboy unaware of the rumour that AMOLED was the first choice for the iPhone 4 but they couldn't guarantee the quantities they needed) but you can also sell it as getting more display bang for buck, which I'm guessing is why the San Fran went with it originally.

theyre trying to say lcd is better!
