Lu Weibing, Xiaomi Group Vice President and Redmi General Manager, recently released a poll on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website. This poll asked the users on the social media platform whether they prefer AMOLED or LCD display’s, with a majority prefering the former over the latter.
In the poll, over 14,000 people chose AMOLED panels as their preferred choice of display, while just 6051 people opted for LCD panels. The senior official of the Chinese tech giant added that there are still a number of people that still preferred the LCD panels, but, the majority have chosen AMOLED. Interestingly, a similar poll was also held last year as well, with a number of users preferring the LCD displays, so the executive aimed to evaluate preferences this year as well.
Back in 2020, the Redmi K30 series were launched, with the lineup sporting LCD panels that reached peak brightness of up to 650 nits. On the other hand, the Redmi K40 series that were launched this year arrived with OLED screens. The latest lineup sported the Samsung E4 AMOLED panel that offered peak brightness of up to 1300 pits, with a 5 million:1 contrast ratio.
A few of the users that preferred LCD panels pointed at shortcoming of the OLED panels in recent times. These users highlights the smearing problem on certain smartphones with high refresh rates along with the PWM dimming issue, while LCDs work well if they have a good DC dimming.
