While the S24 Ultra delivers accurate color rendering and effectively handles frame rate mismatches, DXOMARK notes some inconsistencies in screen brightness under different conditions. The benchmark testing revealed times of excessive brightness at night, insufficient brightness indoors, and elevated brightness during video playback in low-light environments.
Despite these minor nuances, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra maintains its lead in the display department, offering an immersive visual experience. While the device has a seemingly perfect display, DXOMARK highlights occasional unintended touches during gaming, which need to be improved.
