Samsung fully introduces the AMOLED display used on Samsung Galaxy Tab S

It hasn't even been a week since its official launch and Samsung has already released two videos regarding Samsung's first mass-produced AMOLED tablet Galaxy Tab S. And as many have surely noticed, at least half of both videos are always devoted to the used AMOLED display and its functions, conveniences and advantages compared to the previously used LCD displays. And Samsung decided to list all these aspects in one longer article, which should answer all questions related to this topic.

In the introductory text itself, the company acknowledges that Samsung Galaxy The Tab S is their most successful tablet yet, and we can't disagree just by looking at the hardware specs alone. The octa-core Exynos 5 processor in combination with the Super AMOLED display and the minimalist but modern design of the tablet creates the most perfect Samsung Galaxy Tab ever made. Well, how does the AMOLED display compare to the LCD display in terms of color reproduction? Both types of screens deal with color reproduction in completely different ways, while with LCD you need to use various filters, diffusers and a bunch of other components just to display color, AMOLED technology does it very easily, the light passes through the organic material and it's done. And thanks to the absence of the aforementioned pile of components, it is Samsung Galaxy Tab S is lighter and thinner, in particular it has become the second thinnest tablet in the world, and it also consumes less energy, which, among other things, also allows you to use the vaunted super-saving mode called Ultra Power Saving Mode.

Samsung Galaxy The Tab S is also apparently the only tablet in the world that displays colors comparable to the real colors perceived by the human eye. This allows for a very wide range of colors, which AMOLED has, and compared to LCD technology, it performs much better. To give an idea in numbers: LCD covers only 70% of the AdobeRGB color spectrum, while AMOLED can boast more than 90% coverage of this spectrum, so the human eye can see about 20% more colors on an AMOLED tablet than on an LCD tablet.

Blacker blacks and whiter whites come with the oft-mentioned better contrast. In the case of blacks, it is possible to achieve blacks up to a hundred times blacker than on an LCD display on an AMOLED display, and thus an AMOLED display can display so-called absolute black and at the same time display highly detailed images without any problems. With a higher level of contrast, it is possible to look at the tablet from an angle of 180°, but the display can also adapt to the surrounding environment, so if direct light is cast on it, it will change the gamma, brightness, contrast and sharpness settings, and the display will still be readable. In addition, it reflects light 40% less than LCD displays, so it is possible to go outside with it and read an e-book or browse the Internet without difficulty. And as a bonus, Samsung has prepared three different display modes for users, namely AMOLED Cinema mode designed for viewing videos in high quality, AMOLED Photo mode for reproduction of AdobeRGB colors and basic mode with sRGB.
