Over the past two years, LG Display has still often been considered a manufacturer of low-cost mobile OLED panels among finicky tech enthusiasts because their displays receive the Pixel 2 XL and LG V30 ThinQ poorly. At the end of 2018, LG V40 ThinQ was released, showing LG's second-generation OLED panel. Surprisingly, it shows a real improvement and establishes LG Display(LGD) as a suitable competitor to mobile organic light emitting diodes, as evaluated in our in-depth review of the V40 ThinQ display. Before continuing to develop mobile organic LEDs, LGD had identified some of the most radical blue viewing angles, so there was a brand new panel on the smartphone display from the perfect angle, peak brightness and color gamut matching Samsung Display. Of course you can. Rumor has it that LG G series uses organic light emitting diode technology exclusive to V series. Naturally, I'm eager to see if there's a further boost compared to one of my favorite displays of 2018, the LG V40 ThinQ display. So let's turn to the new LG G8 ThinQ to find out.

G8thinq performance summary.

The P-OLED panel on the G8ThinQ boasts one of the densest pixel displays on the market at 564 pixels per inch, with a Pentile Diamond inch diagonal screen of 31201440(19.5:9) pixels on a 14.2-square-inch (6.1-inch) screen. By default, the screen is set to 23401080 rendering, which is approximately 422 pixels per inch. But due to resampling, the rendered resolution is not completely divided into the original resolution, so it looks slightly less dense.

The panel has excellent low brightness uniformity and maintains the tendency of LGD to have some perfect angles in terms of moving organic LEDs, although the brightness drop for the G8 ThinQ panel appears to be slightly higher than for the V40 ThinQ. Black cutting or black shredding is also handled well and should not be an obvious problem.

LG G8 ThinQ introduces a new display feature called True Vision, which converts the color temperature of the display into that of ambient lighting, just like Apple's True Tones. This is the iPhone feature I really like and hope more Android OEMs adopt it. When I use the G8, this feature seems to work best in automatic color profiles.

The display has competitive brightness, averaging 855 nits (50% APL), only slightly lower than the Galaxy S10's 893 nits. Content with a lot of white space, such as Gmail, reduces the overall brightness of the display. At these white content pixel levels, the G8 ThinQ display peaks at 570 nits, compared to 643 nits for the iPhone X and 723 nits for the Galaxy. When measuring the absolute maximum white level that the G8 ThinQ display can emit, it outputs an astonishing 1124 nits at 1% APL, equivalent to 1130 nits emitted by the Galaxy S10 at the same APL.

The LG G8 ThinQ display has a very wide range of original colors and can reproduce very vivid colors. It can completely cover the P3 color gamut, covering most of the green color in Adobe RGB color gamut. The LG G8 ThinQ's default auto-color profile expands the colors, bringing a very vivid and powerful look, with the blazing red turning slightly yellow and the very bright green looking a bit cold. The color temperature on the sides is cool too.

The tonal response (also known as gamma) of the display that controls screen contrast is very high on the G8 and can be scaled massively. The higher the display brightness and content pixel level, the higher the gamma sum produces screen contrast, which is particularly noticeable at maximum brightness. The display characteristic also increases color saturation with display brightness. On the one hand, it is actually desirable to increase color saturation at higher ambient lighting to offset the reduction in color gamut caused by ambient lighting. However, in order to offset the increase in the black level of ambient lighting, it is actually necessary to lower the display gamma to reduce shadows and colors under bright lighting. In contrast, the G8 ThinQ increases gamma with the brightness of the display, making it difficult for the display to be clear in bright light.

Because of the dynamic gamma mentioned above, standard reference color profiles are color-accurate and cumbersome. Therefore, all contours are supersaturated, and the higher the saturation, the higher the brightness of the display. SRGB color space is the most important color space for accurate positioning, because almost everything is described in it, and the default is the color space for all colors on the Internet. The G8Q's Web profile targets the sRGB color space, producing e 3.2 across the brightness range of the display, one of the worst color accuracies measured by flagship standard reference curves for a long time. Interestingly, for dynamic gamma, the overall color accuracy of the display decreases linearly with increasing brightness. In fact, the display is the most accurate, and the accuracy of the color is the least important, because at these levels, the human cone responds very poorly to color.
