Color accuracy is one of the most important factors that go into making a good display. No one wants to watch a movie where the protagonist has a slightly unhealthy blueish hue. With that in mind, DisplayMate decided to pit this year’s six best mobile displays against one another to see which one actually offered the most true-to-life color reproduction.
DisplayMate
tested six devices: The Apple iPhone 6 Plus, the Samsung Galaxy
Note 4, the Galaxy Tab S 10.5, the iPad Air 2, the Microsoft Surface
Pro 3, and the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. On these products they measured
for five areas of color accuracy: full color gamut, facial skin tone, organic
color, blue region, and white point.
But
there’s still plenty of room for improvement for all of these mobile displays
in the future. Using software, companies can adjust color filters on OLED or
LCD displays to get even better color accuracy. Right now, this is done almost
exclusively using hardware and display material chemistry. For example,
displays could offer different color modes when text is primarily onscreen
versus when images are onscreen since a bluish white hue that’s amenable for
reading text isn’t ideal for photographs. Adjusting the display calibration
depending on the amount of ambient light will also improve the experience.
