I have the Zune HD, and while the screen looks amazing indoors or on a cloudy day, in full sunlight the display suffers. This is apparently typical of OLED displays however.
I've seen videos of AMOLED displays performing in full sunlight with very few problems. Of course, it isn't as bright as it would be indoors, but it's definitely usable and far better then any other display tech I've seen. As far as I can tell this is as close to 'the perfect display' that we have right now, though OLED technology has to come down drastically in price before we'll start seeing it in desktop/notebook display and televisions.
Oldest trick in the book. Crank up the brightness for your product in the "demo" and wash out the colors on the "old" product, call it massive improvement. Repeat for every display generation. The fact that we all watch this demo on the old tech that is supposed to not be able to display all the awesomeness is just extra irony. Way to part the fools from their money i suppose.
Once I saw what the OLED display on my photo camera can do, I got completely hooked by the technology. It's huge difference between OLED displays and even the best LCDs.
i saw the video in the article and was amazed at how vibrant and lifelike the colors were and how sharp the picture was then i said to myself "damn my tv is BADAZSZSS!!"
how the hell can we really tell how good this display technology is on the same technology it denounces?
perhaps the only way is to view it yourself and so the utube video is pointless.
OLED's offer us thinner, cheaper (not yet, but the manufacturers claim they should be cheaper to produce), better quality (super OMG amazing contrast ratio anyone?), higher resolution.
I'm all in, you?
I saw live Samsung Wave (MWC2010), with this display... The difference in black zones of the screen was stunning, and colors seemed so vivid, that was hard to believe... I've been an iPhone user during 2 years, and super amoled seems a good reason for change.
Can we combine all iPhone, Nexus One, and this Wave good features on the ultimate gadget?

+1. Seems to me it would be like comparing a wide gamut LCD with a standard one by watching a video.

Yeah that's embarrassing. Worth firing over, IMO. Somehow they didn't get enough people to look over the advertisement to notice a typo? That sure shows how much they care about attention to detail...
