Setting a standard in the way smartphone and consumer device displays are tested

Since the introduction in 2020 of our Display evaluation protocol for smartphones, we have meticulously evaluated hundreds of devices, focusing on the key elements of the display user experience such as readability, color, video and touch.

Using a scientific and exhaustive approach, our unique methodology combines lab measurements and perceptual analysis, which give our experts a complete and precise understanding of smartphone display behavior and how it has evolved with the available technology.

But our display expertise goes beyond smartphone screens thanks to our solid but versatile protocol. Our evaluation encompasses all aspects of the user experience in various lighting conditions, allowing our experts to adapt their rigorous testing methods to all types of displays on consumer and professional devices. All testing is done in DXOMARK’s specially designed state-of-the-art laboratories, ensuring the complete control of the conditions, as well as the consistency and repeatability of the testing. As technology and user preferences evolve, so does the protocol, which is regularly updated to reflect the current state of the market and industry.

Our engineers ceaselessly explore, study and contribute their knowledge to the latest areas of innovation in display, such as HDR and color modes, in order to stay abreast of the developing technologies that will help shape the future of displays.

DXOMARK offers comprehensive services for various devices. For smartphones, they assist in optimizing display settings such as brightness and color to match audience preferences. They also provide an Eye Comfort Label, which indicates a device’s visual comfort through key aspects such as temporal light modulation, blue light, minimum luminance, and color consistency. Additionally, DXOMARK helps fine-tune HDR video and display experiences to ensure optimal user satisfaction. 

In the automotive sector, DXOMARK can make sure that dashboard displays meet user needs as well as regulatory requirements, considering factors like ambient lighting. They provide benchmarking and test reports on key metrics such as contrast, brightness, color fidelity, and HDR display quality to ensure a well-rounded dashboard experience.

The DXOMARK Display team can also assess the performance of computing devices with test reports and benchmarks that focus on the video-call and video-watching experience. With testing that pays special attention to readability in various lighting conditions and overall video quality, DXOMARK’s evaluations can help manufacturers deliver the best user experience.
