OLED vs. LCD: What You Need to Know About Displays Before Choosing an iPhone XS or XR

OLED vs. LCD: What You Need to Know About Displays Before Choosing an iPhone XS or XR
The new iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max have everyone buzzing. But, at first glance, the XR and XS look pretty similar in almost every way. So, what's the difference? It comes down to the XR's "Liquid Retina" LCD screen vs. the XS's "Super Retina" OLED display. How do they compare, and why does it matter when considering which new iPhone to preorder?This discussion is nothing new — the now-discontinued iPhone X was the first from Apple to sport an OLED display, while the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus shipped with the standard LCD we had grown accustomed to. All the points made below can be applied to those iPhones as well, save for the lack of Touch ID.Don't Miss: After 5 Years, Touch ID Is About to Get Read Its Last Rites

OLED vs. LCDOLED technology has found its way into consumer tech products more and more in recent years. If you were to walk into Best Buy right now, there's a good chance any given smartphone or TV you pick up would have an OLED display. But what is it, and is it better than LCD?To keep it simple, if your display is OLED, each pixel in the screen emits its own light. That means black portions of the screen don't need to be turned on at all, both saving power as well as achieving contrast other displays simply can't.LCD, on the other hand, requires an overall backlight, so even if you fill the screen with a solid black square, you'll still see light coming from the phone.

This difference is why you can't hide the notch on the XR with wallpapers like you can with the XS — these wallpapers run a strip of black across the top of the iPhone. That strip won't appear in OLED displays, effectively hiding the notch. However, XR's LCD display will still have some light bleed shining through blacks, doing nothing to obscure its notch.More Info: These Wallpapers Can Complete Hide the Notch on the iPhone X, XS, & XS Max Image by Dallas Thomas/Gadget Hacks The big flaw of OLED displays, however, is their susceptibility to burn-in, or after-image, when images that were once on-screen are now visible whenever using the device. This commonly occurs with menus and other items that remain on-screen for lengthy periods of time, but so far, this hasn't been a common issue for iPhones to have.

But Apple has designed bigger differences specifically between the XR and the XS and XS Max.
XR Display vs. XS DisplaysLet's talk resolution. The XS has a resolution of 2436 x 1125, while the XS Max has a resolution of 2688 x 1242. These two displays have the same pixel density of 458 PPI, however, so effectively, these displays are equally sharp.The LCD on the XR, on the other hand, has a resolution of 1792 x 898 with a pixel density of 326 PPI, even though its display is four-tenths of an inch larger than the XS. If you were to hold these displays up against each other, you would be able to see that the XS or XS Max have sharper displays than the XR, OLED aside.In addition, the XS and XS Max have HDR — or high-dynamic-range — displays. HDR displays can take advantage of HDR content, which deliver deeper, more vibrant colors to your movies, TV shows, and even YouTube videos. The XR does not have an HDR display, so you'll be missing out on that extra perk.We can't compare brightness or color temperature between the displays yet, however, since Apple does not release that information to the public. This isn't normally an issue, except third parties can't test the displays since the iPhones have not yet released.At this time, go by this — if you're looking for the sharpest, most vibrant display possible for your new iPhone, you'll want to go for an XS.
So, Is the XS Better?To be clear, there are quite a few differences between the XR and XS other than their displays, but also a surprising number of similarities. Which new iPhone you choose shouldn't come down to which display is "better," at least not until you've compared all other features as well. You might be surprised when comparing prices ...Make sure to check out our comparison below in addition to this article to get a complete picture of the XR vs. the XS and XS Max.More Info: iPhone XR vs iPhone XS vs iPhone XS MaxFollow Gadget Hacks on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Flipboard Sign up for Gadget Hacks' daily newsletter or weekly Android and iOS updates Follow WonderHowTo on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Flipboard
