• Brightest . To compare to another smartphone: do you remember the poor response under sunlight Galaxy S4? It has a maximum brightness of 288 nits. Nexus LG G2 and 5, 438 and 485 respectively. It is not the only deciding factor, but next time I will be done with a smartphone and you worry your answer outdoors, you know which indicator to attend. In case of doubt between LG G2 and Nexus 5, Nexus wins 5 .

• Minimum brightness . Here come two comparisons: one worse, the HTC One with 14 nits minimum brightness, and other better, the iPhone 5 5s nits maximum brightness. What can serve? To save battery by leaving the minimum brightness in total darkness, for example, or to leave directly for the minimum brightness than annoying. By little, but wins LG G2 Nexus versus 5.

• Color Temperature (K) , measured in Kelvin. Win Nexus 5 with a very good score, the temperature measured in K only measures the balance between red and blue primary colors. The green panel excess Nexus 5 shows this color, which is derived in the yellow remains outside, and. So this scale is relative and not have to take it as an absolute indicator of the quality of color represented. In any case, clearly wins the Nexus 5 against LG G2.

• Scale Delta E . It is the scale that measures the minimum color difference is capable of perceiving the human eye. Therefore, it is better the closer to 0 is. The screens of smartphones are away at this point monitors to measure their quality, but are practically all in between. Just highlight the iPhone 5s and 5 on Nexus RGBCMY (color), but in grayscale, who stands out more than anyone and is the only iPhone 5s. Although the difference is not drastic, Nexus wins 5 on both.

• Contrast . The difference is striking: 1:1004 for Nexus 5, 1:1503 for LG G2. And the higher the better. Is especially noticeable when viewing the screen from LG G2, that rather than go for sharp points to a higher contrast and saturation to your colors more brightly, trying to make so it’s a good screen but not as excellent as can be a really high end top . In any case, here wins the LG G2 .

The conclusion is obvious: both subjective level as technical data viewing, I prefer the Nexus 5 . In clear and simple terms, what are all these indicators? The screen of the Nexus 5 is sharper and the colors represent more naturally. A LG will note, with all due respect, inferiority complex: they know they have a history of high-end smartphones like its rivals, and G2 screen have pointed to a growing trend: hipersaturar colors and contrast only to try to gain prominence. Which could not be achieved by pure quality.
