What display mode do you use on your Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 edge?

Opinion

Samsung's Super AMOLED displays have long been criticized for not being too accurate in terms of color reproduction. That's not to say the company's displays aren't amazing, but anyone looking for natural lifelike colors from their smartphones would be disappointed at the vivid output of Samsung devices. Samsung has worked on rectifying this issue over the years, and with the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge, its Super AMOLED displays can produce fairly accurate colors.

Samsung still sets the display mode on its phones to a default that makes colors pop, but it has also been offering the option of selecting other display modes so that users can choose whether they get something truly eye-catching or something that is more akin to how things would look in real life. The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge (and most other Samsung flagships) come with four modes: Adaptive Display, AMOLED Cinema, AMOLED Photo, and Basic.

Personally, I've never liked the Basic display mode, as that makes things too yellow and somber, taking away the beauty of the excellent displays Samsung is putting on its phones these days. AMOLED Photo has a similar yellowish/not-so-white tint, while AMOLED Cinema and Adaptive Display are the modes that really let things shine. The whites are white, the contrast is high, and my Galaxy S6 edge continues to produce deep blacks like all of the Korean manufacturer's other Super AMOLED panels.

To be fair, the general consumer usually likes what Samsung provides out of the box in terms of the visual experience, and these Super AMOLED displays are part of the reason why the company's flagships are so popular. But what display mode do you use on your Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 edge, or any other Samsung flagship that you currently have, and why? Are you content with the default setting, or do you make it a point to change it to something else?
