Now personally, I don't like amoled's oversaturated colours but there are many who do so. As we cant recalibrate the screen (or can we? pls explain how calibration is done), I have thought up of an idea. We could go about it two ways:
1) Put a screen overlay giving more colours : kinda like those screen dimming apps that put a translucent black layer over the screen. It would be like a instagram filter or a real filter by which we can get richer colours.
2) You know in image editing apps ( even the stock one ) there are options for increasing vibrancy and saturation? Well how about use similar algorithms that run always , all over android.
I don't know whether this works. I am a total NOOB at development and programming so don't expect any results from me. I know something of this sort has been done in bravia engine, but the effect is barely noticeable. This is just a concept/idea and if you want to move forward with this idea, feel free.

Hi to everyone. Noob question, like plasma TV's and LCD's you can change / tweak their color values, hue, brightness contrast etc. Some even go as far as open the service menu of the TV to do a more thorough job. I was wondering if there was a way/app/hack to do this on the phone.
The screen is great but a bit too saturated and plays on the blue/green spectrum a bit too much.
Hardcores speed mode kernel has color adjustments for cool and warm. So I think the answer is yes, but it is not easy and requires knowledge of programing the device
galaxy tuner app.
flash kernels with color adjustments (i.e. voodoo color)
voodoo color even not needed for Galaxy Tuner
Thanks, I am quite new with all of this, I tried searching for Galaxy Tunner app in the market but did not find it anywhere there.
Thanks though for the input, must be core complicated that I think.
Anyway it would be great if phone makers in the future build in some sort of screen tuning app and presets, you know how like TV's have a cinema mode, vibrant mode, etc. plus a few basic controls for color temperature and hue.
I have a pretty good eye for these things--it looks to me that either Google or ASUS lowered the bit depth of most of their applications (even the OS) to 16-bit color.
I'll get a picture in a bit, since I can't find my camera off hand, but I noticed a particularly grainy quality now in the home screen and the browser (possibly not the Picture Viewer), whereas before, the color gradients seemed alot smoother.
The fastest way to see this issue (for those of you with 3.1) is to go to the Settings page, and go to "Privacy". Right above the "Reset Tablet" button, there's a color gradient that might be an easy-to-see example of what I'm talking about. Also, in general, every "gray" color now seems to have this 16-bit depth grain to it.
I'm thinking of rolling back to 3.0.1 just to prove that I'm not insane, but what does everyone else think? I'll post some pictures in a few minutes for everyone to see what I'm talking about.
i have good eyes everything looks the same to me. gunna have to prove your case on this one though.
As a photographer I keep LOTS of really high rez pics on the Transformer and I'm not really noticing any gradation in color tones across any of them. I hope this doesn't come off a flippant but I DID notice that my brightness was jacked way up after the update which would do all sorts of funny things to your gray's but if you changed that already not sure what else it could be.
I didn't notice anything BUT, i would kill for a way to tweak some of the display settings on this device. The colors in general are a little dull especially on low backlight settings. A contrast control and a color boost control would be amazing. Heck i'd even settle for a digital vibrance slider like nvidia has for their desktop cards. The colors are just a bit too muted for my taste.

Yea that would be awsome. A havker for samsung galaxy s was able to do it for the phone
For those of you who didn't know, there is an app you can install that will let you download Blacked out and Clear versions of Google Apps and other apps like WhatsApp, Twitter etc.
Visit here and download and install the TeamBlackOut Updater App, install it (it's an apk) then open the app and download whatever you want and install it. I've been using this for years and thought I'd share it. Please thank the developer there as well.

In my AMOLED years I used to love these black apps/themes, mainly to save battery and to show off the immense contrast of those screens.
Now, with LCD, and battery saving not being an issue anymore, I really enjoy the vibrant and colorful screen of the Mate 8.
So I find it a shame to use blacked/greyed/colorless themes But as with everyting: YMMV! :good:

Same here on LCD I prefer to have whites for the most part and darker grays on Amoled for the contrast and battery. However I don't quite like the look of the Settings app on the Mate 8 so I prefer it in darker color. As well as dark headers. The rest I want white. Visibility in dark apps is pretty bad outside on this phone. Not very bright screen.
Black backgrounds are the way to go. They are easier on your eyes, they are less likely to keep you awake at night from staring at a white screen and when you're laying in bed or in really low light when waking up they are worlds better to look at. I wish I could get rid of every white background on the entire phone.

I was wondering what are the best settings for display in terms of color gamut and image enhancements
should it be set on professional RGB or standrad or super vivid, also should what ever is chosen run with image enhancements or not?
keep in mind, my goal is realistic colors yet not so dull
on profession RGB mode, it looks sharp but its not colorful its dull, doesnt look as realistic also
standard mode looks good to me, but ive seen people having issues with it if enabling image enhancements...
super vivid, some people argue and advise to stay away from it as it not realistic at all, but it does bring out the colors,
so my question is to really understanding people with knowladge about these things, which settings are best for the most realistic colors and sharpness
thanks
Stop this annoying "Oversharpening" and "Oversaturating" on the display!
Hi!
I have a p20 it has the best ips screen on the market!
Absolutely it look like a amoled!
But i really cant stay ok with this Oversharpening and Oversaturating when wqtching a video or a picture!
I think the phone use some system enanchement to make multimedia stuff look more sharpen and saturated! This doesnt happen in the normal ui usage! Only on
Videos Pictures!
Can u notice it also with a custom rom? Because i think is emui!
Did you maybe try turning off dynamic resolution/ natural colors ? I don't have any problems with my screen..
