Roll over Retina Display says Samsung

Well I for can't wait for this match-up to finally happen.

Iphone 4 release is close. But since there are no Super AMOLED phones in the US yet.

Then we must turn to Europe and hope to see this war finally started.

They will have my phone, the Samsung Wave to matchup to the Iphone 4 and we will finally see who is the true display winner, Super AMOLED or IPS.

But IMO, Super AMOLED will cleary win in the vibrancy of the colors, contrast ratio, and viewing angle.

Iphone 4 IPS will win in pixel density, and image sharpness but that is not due to IPS, but the high resolution.

Let's wait and see.

I saw a comparison between the two on

Youtube

. Unfortunately it was in Italian so I didn't understand that much of what was said but one very visible thing to me was that colors and black/white were much better on the Galaxy S. The iPhone 4 was of course sharper due to it's higher ppi but from what I could see the difference in color and contrast will be much more noticable so judging from this I'd definitely say that the Super AMOLED is superior to the Retina.

As for smoothness mentioned above, that doesn't have anything to do with the actual display. It's actually the Super AMOLED that has the clearly faster response time. The smooth scrolling etc is due to that Apple is using the GPU to do that, while Android for some reason still isn't utilizing that. It's not that big of a difference with the Galaxy S but slower phones show lesser results.
