Så här skrev redaktören på phonearena om hur displaymate utför sitt test för att uppnå över 1200 nits:
”Okay, so let's sum it all up: you guys have 1 source that everyone is quoting from and that source is DisplayMate. There is NO other source, neither TheVerge, nor MKBHD, nor anybody else. They all quote from DisplayMate.
That's cool.
But what does DisplayMate really say?
Well, you need to first READ the damn report before going with that 1200 nit number! In other words, don't be like TheVerge or MKBHD who did NOT bother reading and just quote a number they don't understand.
Here is what DisplayMate says (look for it towards the end in the Brightness and Contrast table in green): it says that the Note 8 has a brightness of
High Auto Brightness
560 – 1,240 cd/m2
It does not say 1,240 nits, it says FROM 560 to 1,240 nits.
So how does it get to 1,240 nits? You can ask DisplayMate because they never say in their article, but I can save you the effort and tell you how: by showing 1% white and 99% black. That is the way AMOLED works. How do you do this? Load up a picture with just a single dot of white on a black background and test!
So yes, we do NOT get 1,240 nits because we don't do such a test! We think it's not that important to know the brightness of a screen with 1% white because nobody uses their screen like that.
What do we do? We have always tested a 100% white, which means that we load up a fully WHITE picture that covers the whole screen. That's it. And we measure. So we get around 518 nits.
Look back at DisplayMate's tests: it says "FROM 560 nits" and we have a score that says "518 nits" which is close enough.
So yes, our results are not false, they are not fake, they are not made up. But they need context. The same is true of DisplayMate: 1,240 nits is just wrong without a context. It's absurd, nobody uses their phone with 1% white.
A perfectly correct measure would be to do something like a 50% white, that would be closer to average use. At 50% white, I guess the Note 8 would have a brightness higher than 520 nits, but much lower than 1,240 nits.”
Så med en helt vit bild på både iPhone 8 plus och Note 8 så uppnår iPhone högre ljusstyrka.
