Display review from Engadget
We have to assume that the 3.3-inch AMOLED display is one of the S9′s biggest selling points, and for good reason. The 480 x 272 resolution screen is positively gorgeous to look at, displaying rich, vivid colors on everything lucky enough to tickle its pixels. Video looked superb, images were almost unbelievably sharp and bright, and the overall user interface was quite a joy to gaze at. Couple that with the fact that it’s a capacitive touchscreen and you can understand why we’re pretty much head over heels on the panel. Other PMP makers should definitely give AMOLED a look; it sucks down less juice, it’s brighter and sharper in every circumstance and it makes users (or us, at least) actually want to watch videos on it.
