Yes, but that comparison photo certainly does not tell an accurate story as you alluded to in your post -- unless, or course, you can see the sub-pixels in a screen during usage

Indeed that particular visual will mislead. Going on that visual will lead you to believe that the SAMOLED+ screen is the worst of the lot, when in fact an eyes-on comparison should lead you to a different conclusion. In this photo, the 'cross hatchy' visuals are likely due to increased contrast between the sub-pixels, and the lower resolution than the iPhone 4 screen.

Granted, the resolution is lower than the iPhone display, though (IMHO) in practicality, the law of diminishing returns kicks into overdrive when going above WVGA on those small screens. Having used a WVGA screen for years, and an iPhone4's resolution more than a few times, I would list it as a *slight* advantage, and would not otherwise notice it unless I was looking. Further, the resolution only leads to clarity as the small screen does not lend it to higher real-estate.

What I *would* notice (because I notice this all the time) are colour saturation, white levels, black levels, contrast, and viewing angles (especially the last two). SAMOLED does these very well. I even love how close the 'screen' is to the outer glass and when the screen is black, the device looks as though it is off. When there's only one object floating on a dark screen, it looks as if its emanating from the devices body.

It is no secret that I'm a fan of SAMOLED tech. Not because it's from a specific company, but because after only 3 generations, its arguably the finest screen tech on small screens. Eyes, on, it really is a pleasure to use, and SAMOLED+ promises to combine the sub-pixel advantage of LCD with the colour advantages of SAMOLED at a resolution that is known to be very comfortable.

All things equal, I wouldn't hesitate to choose a SAMOLED+ over an LCD any day of the week. To me, it's a major selling feature, considering that the screen is the most important interface on a device. Others may prioritize things differently.
