Pitting three of the most advanced screen technologies on existing smartphones, we found out that the IPS-LCD technology still produces brighter screens with higher resolution than AMOLED, but Super AMOLED Plus beats it in almost every other aspect.
Almost infinite contrast, wide viewing angles, deep black color, and richer color gamut come standard for the Super AMOLED Plus, compared to LCD. Moreover, its packaging is now 18% thinner than Super AMOLED, which was a precursor for achieving the slim chassis of the Samsung Galaxy S II.

Text on Sammy's newest flagship appears crisper now, than on the display of the Galaxy S, due to the fact that Samsung's Super AMOLED Plus technology uses a normal RGB matrix for the pixel arrangement, not the PenTile one on the first generation, which utilized less subpixels, thus altering the perceived resolution. Both arrangements can't beat the Retina Display resolution, of course, both perceived, and on paper, as is clearly visible below.

Gone is the blueish hue that overcasts the display on the Samsung Galaxy S, and which made the pickier among us install third party color calibration software like Voodoo's creation. The Super AMOLED Plus also tones down the color gamut - the colors still appear very bright and vivid, but not as oversaturated as they seem on the Galaxy S.
Overall, the display on the Samsung Galaxy S II is a true marvel of technology, and the only thing that bugs us is that seeing the Super AMOLED Plus technology, scaled up to larger tablet screens, is still too many months away. What will warm us up in the meantime, is the knowledge that Sammy is moving to a laser-based production method this year, which will bring Retina Display quality 300ppi + resolutions to its Super AMOLED Plus displays.
