THIS IS FALSE! IT IS 24-BIT. OLED will always offer better contrast, so the "washed out" display of the iPhone LCD is to be expected. However, at the end of the day, "washed out" doesn't necessarily equate to inaccuracy. In fact, in a comparison between the DROID, Nexus One and iPhone (three of the best displays on the market), using Konica Minolta CS-200 Chromameter, the DROID came out with the most accurate display (98%), with the iPhone and Nexus One being equally inaccurate (-40% and +40% of the standard color gamut, respectively).
However, what I don't agree with in the DisplayMate article is that the OLED display is "typical of a cheap display." Right now, Samsung is the most prolific manufacturer of OLED displays for mobile devices. At the production release of the N1, only Samsung had an OLED available. Is it still a new technology? Yes. Is it still in it's infancy? Yes. But is it cheap? No. It's about as good as it gets at this stage in AMOLED development. In that way, the N1/Desire got the best of what's out there as far as AMOLED (at the moment).
What's being touted now is SUPER AMOLED. This is the next generation of AMOLED that will be viewable in direct sunlight (which is another current drawback for AMOLEDs on the Omnia II, N1 and Desire). There's no news regarding how many bits of color will be available on these displays.
