I read that the super amoled screen is supposed to not light up the black pixels but leave them off to create a dense black and save power. This is not true however it is technically possible.
See for yourself....
1) Turn off your Ativ S.
2) Turn off the lights so you are in pitch darkness. Important!
3) Turn on your phone again.
4) You will see the blue Windows Phone splash screen.
5) Next you will see the Samsung Mob!le splash screen. Notice how dense the black is. This is because the black pixels are off and only the white pixels are on.
6) Next you will see a black only screen but it has a slight glow to it followed by the Samsung logo appearing. This is because the black pixels are on.
So technically as seen in step 5 it is possible for the black pixels to be off and other pixels on. How cool would it be to have a dense black theme in the OS not to mention any benefit to battery it may generate.
