It should be a great screen but as long as the grain does not show up under normal usage that's fine. I don't believe anyone uses the phone at 0% brightness. Still I find it annoying because it's $1k I spent, it should be without any issues.

Still I find it annoying because it's $1k I spent, it should be without any issues.Yeah hopefully in a few years we'll see some LG panels getting close to Samsung quality (didn't Apple and Google both invest money into LG's display business?), but for now I'll settle for the inferior display as long as it's not crap, which I don't think it will be.
Haha... shocking. Key reason I ordered one.Performance just might be the Pixel 2's killer app. Sure, ton of Android phones have a Snapdragon 835 and will score similarly in benchmarks, but the smoothness and general "speediness" differences you feel between a Pixel 2 and something like a Samsung Galaxy S8 cannot be overstated.
I don't care so much for the angles as much as the grain. I also think it's something you will notice over time compared to right when you first start using the device.It seems like it's a panel lottery in terms of quality. Some sites have 2XL screens with severe grain while others have minimal grain. I think the bigger concern is the colour shifting at angles that's been reported too.
Updated post w/ more info. This also makes me wonder, is USB audio greatly improved in Oreo? Android USB audio has always been a hot steaming mess, so taking out the 3.5mm and leaving everyone to navigate a world of buggy DAC support is incredibly frustrating.Well shit. This is completely the wrong way to handle these dongles imo.

This really makes no sense. You still have a DAC for the internal speakers. I really think not using USB-C analog audio is a huge mistake.
It is useful when you do not want to bother people around you in the dark. (e.g. theaters)
I use my phone at 0% brightness all the time when reading books in bed before going to sleep.
Black background with 0% brightness is the only way to make it dim enough to not bother my eyes but still have enough light to see and read without issue.
To each their own though.
Which phone do you use? I ask because with OLED, a black background is the same regardless of brightness, it's only the characters that should be emitting light. An LCD display would need lower brightness compared to an OLED display for this specific purpose.I use my phone at 0% brightness all the time when reading books in bed before going to sleep.

That cannot be right. I said that you can avoid being an "arsehole" in a dark environment by using an extreme low bright mode. The world does not stop because you are at a theater.or just dont use it in a theater like an arsehole

My phone will be here tomorrow.
I was worried because one shipped and the other still said shipping the 17th but it updated late last night. Very excited to get done work and try it out.I am utterly jealous. Mine doesn't even ship until the 26th.
Note8. I'm talking about 2-3am with no lights on whatsoever. I want the screen as dark as it will go. Werks for me™Which phone do you use?
