The Captivate has some advantages being AMOLED, but I still can't help be let down by the pentile matrix arrangement of the pixels. Text on it looks like crap in comparison which is realistically what I spend more time looking at. I don't watch movies on my phone so I don't care how great it looks when watching them, I want clear text.I could not agree more!
Side by side my iPhone 4 & Captivate are night and day when it comes to anything other than the smallest font, when reading. Even then the difference is nothing compared to what Apple would have you believe. Apple did what Apple does best.. "smoke and mirrors" marketing.
The Captivate display is really outstanding and I find it so much better than Apples, due to the eye popping colors, great contrast, real black and overall clarity.
At Apple, they were all sitting around having lunch and one of the Apple engineers said "Hey we'll call it a Retina Display" throw a bazillion dollars into the marketing campaign and everyone will believe it's "Magical & Revolutionary"... ha..ha..ha.. yeah right!
It's nothing more than a small IPS display. Technology that's been around for years. I've got several ThinkPads from 2005 onward with IPS displays. They are very nice, but not as magical as Apple says.
Cheers...
I'm with you. I watch movies in my home theatre.
My co-worker picked up a Captivate based on a demo I gave him of the phone
