![]() ![]() ![]() I've made some measurements with a SQM in a dark, dark room of tablet screen brightnesses with and without a red film screen. From my urban backyard, I don't worry about it but from sky's in the 21+ mpsas range, where I'm hunting down small, faint galaxies, I am very careful. I don't know how dark your skies are or what you're looking at but I can easily see the light leak from standard screens when I'm using a tablet or phone as well as when others are using them. To me, this is one of those, yes, on paper and the lab AMOLED should be favorable, but in the real world I just don't see an advantage. ![]() At night, under the stars, once I get either one adjusted for use in dark mode, I have never seen any difference in my night vision to favor one over the other. Honestly, owning and having owned and used both Samsung AMOLED and Apple displays, from phones to 10" tablet displays, I personally think we make too much of this. It helps that I keep it oriented so that there is no unobstructed line of sight between the screen and anyone else. Even without the film, none of them even knew that I had the tablet, so I'll call that a success. ![]() I've asked them about the tablet, and whether or not it affects them. At one event, I am set up near to a group of about 4 or 5 large (24" and bigger) Dobs with highly skilled and accomplished visual astronomers. I have experimented with and without the red film at star parties. If I am doing visual astronomy, then I have a piece of the Red Eyes Xtra Dark cling that works great. If I am imaging, and not trying to get my eyes as dark adapted as possible, then I use it at its dimmest setting and without a red film. I also run SkySafari on it, but does have LCD light leak. I also have an iPad Mini that is several years old. I run SkySafari on it and it dims down so far that even dark adapted, I cannot read it. I have an iPhone Xs Max and it has an OLED display. The rumor is that Apple is planning on releasing a version of the iPad Pro in the next year or two that has a screen that is an OLED variant.Īs for iPhones, it's already been mentioned that the top models have had OLED screens for a while now. The are no iPads with OLED/AMOLED screens. ![]()
