So a friend of mine was telling me that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has a nicer and brighter screen because Samsung boosted the color saturation. At first I didn't believe him, and said it was because it had an Amoled or Super Amoled screen. He then told me that you cannot make amoled screens that size.
So I was wondering if it's possible to increase the saturation on our beloved transformer. The screen is great and all, but hey anything that can make the tablet better sounds good to me.
EDIT: Just googled "galaxy tab 10.1 screen type" and got a Slashgear article that says the GT uses a GFI display. (?) Is that better than IPS? I have no idea about displays, hell, I just learned whats the difference between LCD and Plasma...now to learn about LED
Both tablets have an IPS display. The color temperature is much higher on the 10.1 tab.
The iPad has 6500k, TF has 7800 and the 10.1 has over 9000(literally). The 10.1 color is far from what you are supposed to see. It isn't better, just more inaccurate.
Should still be adjustable, right? All my graphics cards have the option.
Love the over 9000 reference here and it actually works in reality.

I am not aware of any change, but the TF is closer to the nominal setting. The Samsung is way over saturated. It makes people look sunburned. Samsung really needs to fix this.
Yea like someone mention, the 10.1 may seem more vibrant/saturated .. It doesn't mean that its more accurate.
I see nothing wrong with TF display. its a beautiful display with more natural look. As a photographer, I rather have more accurate screen than a more saturated one
I am not disagreeing but I think agree that having options isn't a bad thing...

Go right ahead. Find the driver source code and just start hacking. It may be inherent to the display and not user adjustable, or maybe they're leaving the calibration to the kernel in which case you could probably change it if you wanted.

there is probably some xml file you can edit... ask clemsyn or someone that messes with code.

galaxy tab uses pls(plane line switching) transformer is ips(in plane switching) both are similar the ips on the transformer produces more accurate natural colors, while as the gtab shows more saturation but less real to life color accuracy
Wasn't saying the GT was more accurate, I just thought it'd be nice to be able to change the saturation of the screen. I like the vibrant-ness of the GT and the color pop. It just looks nice to me. Plus, wouldn't lowering the saturation mean more battery power? Some people may not care about the display since they use the device more for business or what not.
EDIT: After some googling, I found this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745248 It's an app that allows you to calibrate the screen's color. it's for CM7 I think, and I found it in a HD2 thread. Maybe a port? I would try, but I can't even wrap my head around Java and coding..

I believe you would need to increase saturation to get closer to the Tab 10.1, thus, if saturation has anything to do with battery life (????) you would reduce your life.
Saturation has nothing to do with battery life. Backlight (brightness) is the only thing that will vary the battery life on the screen.
That app, which works on the Nexus One, just hooks into the surfaceflinger library which is the software that Android uses to render all of it's 2D elements on screen. It may work on Honeycomb, but I highly doubt it. Besides, it allows you to change color temperature, not saturation.

Interesting topic.
I'm a hobby photographer seeking most natural colors and I think, though the TF's display is suboptimal for this purpose, it's acceptable.
Why it is suboptimal? Because it's an 18 bit color gamut display, which dithers colors to 24 bit.
And this fact might be a limitation regarding raising color saturation and especially calibration.
Right?
Ive been spoiled by my previous Ipad, and the trinity kernel on my GNex that allowed me to adjust the color multipliers to have a perfect white balance on my screen. Now every time I use my galaxy tab I notice the very minor yellow/green tint. It makes the otherwise INCREDIBLE display much less enticing, So the question is, how can I adjust the color multipliers of the screen? I am rooted, and running ezyICS kernel, with my only complaint being the lack of color adjustment settings. Are there any kernels that support this for the p6800? Ezynow, do you have plans to implement this into your kernel at some point?
Can we expect to get a custom kernel that will allow us to change the colour reproduction on the phone as i dont know about you guys but this phone has awesome colour reproduction but i like my screens slightly more saturated
I have a question, about my phone's screen. First can i change the colours so I can make them not so natural, but cooler. I mean i want them to look better and second can i boost the max brightness of the screen. I want to make the screen colours something like samsung's. I want them to be not so vivid, but more colourful If you know what I mean. Something like the adjusting the red,yellow and etc colours of the screen with an app like Screen adjuster. I know it is possible with that program, but i want good optimized colours. I couldn't describe it better and it is still badly described. Hope you can help me developers :good:
Mostly you can't. ...
The color quality depends on the manufacturer of the screen. ..
If you want to get better Colors...
You can change the screen or your phone!!
I recently sent my phone back for a screen replacement. And the new screen is insanely greenish, not partially greenish, but greenish everywhere. After comparing it with other phones, I found that it was not a too-much-green problem, because the screen still looks off with green intensity reduced with Color Changer Pro. The problem is the screen's tint is off, which should be moved towards the megenta side.
And I saw that you get to manually control the tint on Xiaomi phones. There's no such thing on Samsung's One UI. I know you can control the color balance when you set your screen mode to Adaptive, but it's wayyy to saturated and like I said, reducing green intensity won't solve the problem.
So anyone got an idea about how I can change the tint of the screen? Thanks ahead.
