When the brightness is on maximum, the white looks like yellow and the black looks like red. Also the sensitivity of the screen is not good at all, I must press a little bit harder than the normal. This happens with anyone else? Or this is normal?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds dreadful!
Although, I have the 3g version (16gb US), the default white color was pretty much crisp white at full brightness, and black was the standard black color of a LCD screen, with no type of hue. Touch sensitivity seems pretty normal to me on my Moto G. Of course everyone has different eyes too, and taste in display color, but it does sound like you probably have a display that's a lemon.

Anyone notice a slight screen discoloration, almost a purple-ish or some other dark-ish tint? Most noticeable when compared side-by-side with another device...?
Pictures maybe?

AMOLED screens does look a bit different compared to LCDs
do you mean a superficial discoloration or a change in the colors of the Amoled screen?
It's like a purple-ish tint over the entire screen- it's difficult to notice until you compare the phone side-by-side with another device. I know SAMOLED screen look very different but the colors should be more vivid, not discolored. Best test is to go into the clock app, hit the dim button in the upper right-hand screen and see if the bottom dock row of buttons turns super purple. If anyone tests this, would be great to hear your results...
Yeah I've noticed this as well, I did the test that you just mentioned with the clock and the bottom bar does turn purple for me as well.
People who have looked at my phone have said there seems to be a tint to it.

I've heard mixed feedback with some saying their's does NOT respond with the purple-ish tint and that if it does, its defective; others have said this is just how SAMOLED screens are (doesn't sound right). I'm going back to Best Buy today to try and exchange and compare. Will let you know my results.

Hi all,
Picked up my One S on Monday and, so far, in almost every way it's my "perfect" phone - great feel, weight, crazy slick... just lovely.
However (and why is there ALWAYS an Achilles heel?), I'm really not happy about the screen. Ok, it's pentile, but so was my Desire (AMOLED one) and I never had a single problem with that. It's just this one seems so, well, pink! Not just in white balance, but there seems to be too much red everywhere - e.g. text on grey in Tweetdeck has crazy amounts of red fringing (especially noticeable on the yellow too), and the over saturated colours are almost too much (though not much more than my Desire, to be honest).
(Quick comparison of the screen temps attached)
I mean, seriously, that's not normal, right?
Am I the only person who seems to notice red / pink outlines on everything, am I the only person bothered by it, or am I just unlucky with this phone?
I went to Carphone to swap it, but they wouldn't because their manager was out and because I traded down from the X on Monday (flickering screen nightmare), so I had a play on their display model and I convinced myself the screen on that one was better! But, I'd love a second opinion!
Cheers!
Oh that's really pink! Will check mine when it finishes the first round charging.
I would say this isn't normal. On amoled Displays white areas appear a bit blueish or grey. But this red/pink looks unnormal

no, this doesn't look normal. But the thin red and green outlines are caused by the pentile-matrix, this is normal.
Just download Screen Adjuster and increase blue and green values a bit and your red screen will be gone
That's a v. useful app! It's definitely taken the edge off (green & blue at +5), but I'll still pursue a replacement as the contrast has taken a bit of a hit now.
(I'm such a perfectionist!)

Well, when I say "see" I meant on their own One S rather than on my screenshot.
I sometimes notice it being a bit pink when the brightness is set low, have you tired using auto brightness or putting it a bit higher?

Hmm. Other than at 100% brightness, it still seems pinkish. I finally get to persuade CPW to give me a replacement tomorrow...
That's looking odd definitely. Let us know if the replacement is better.
I haven't noticed any issue on mine
sent using HTC1S
mine screen is definitely on the warm side of things (meaning the whites are yellow'ish). seeing how One X has a yellow tint issue (different screen manufacturers involved it seems) and you're playing a screen lottery i wonder if One S is the same. slightly warmer screens is not an issue per se but a strong yellow tint definitely effects the overall brightness and sharpness. i would love to compare different units in store to see if One S with cooler screens actually exist.
the pink tint is a straight up defect, however.

This probably won't help you. It won't hurt I guess, but this is something that can be worked out with a software solution. The SGS had something called Voodoo Colors, and I'm assuming that at some point that'll make it to the One S, as it's an AMOLED device as well. The colors changing on low brightness is one of the characteristics of an AMOLED screen.
As a poster above recommended, install that tool and set adjust the values for now. In due time, this'll be worked out. HTC just didnt do a great job with their color profile.
Does anyone get lines on their screen it seems to really show up on light and grey colors. Its weird because it doesn't look like it goes from edge to edge its just where there is bright colors.
I attached a picture, my display just goes nuts whenever I have it up because of all the grey. I can see the horizontal lines at around 15% screen brightness and up.
Perfectly normal on a LCD Display...have it on my Nexus 7 (2013), Nexus 5 and noticed it on other devices like the LG G2...not noticeable unless you´re VERY close to the screen...nothing too bad

I can't believe this is normal, this effect doesn't show up on my computer LCD, and when I have that picture up you can see lines from far away on my phone.
Okay...I see you´re coming from the Galaxy Nexus, just like me...muuuuch better screen imo despite the lower pixel density..
But very noticeable Scanlines might indicate a GPU or Screen defect...small lines, barely noticeable may be just the digitizer you´re seeing...Again: Only speculations
I noticed these lines on my N5, but they´re too small to capture on a camera let alone see from a distance...
You might want to RMA or try other Nexus devices out..
I am looking at the image on a 60" 1080p display and I can't see any horizontal lines. I must be blind?
when?
sorry when does it happen to u?
Same problem for me.
Horizontal lines.
Barely visible on white or black screens.
Noticeable on grey tones.

Ummm...... That is a SCREENSHOT it will not show defects in the display, only what the software is "outputting" to the display, screenshots will be defect free.

I'm having the same issue with my N5. Have you found out if this is normal or a hardware defect?
Thanks!
I don't have to turn the brightness up very bright for a black background to become a sort of blue/grey colour. It's not exactly "my phone is broken" bad but it's noticeable, especially in a dark room. Anyone else noticed this? What have you done about it?

The Z3 is using an IPS screen so the blacks won't be true black like what you get on an amoled. Pixels are not turned off, but rather dimmed. Also, since the Z3 uses blue leds instead of white, that could be why it shows a blue/grey instead of a more natural black. Don't have an exact fix but you can try adjusting your color settings to get your result. Best of Luck.
I have read somewhere that its by design and only seen on max brightness to make it easier to read something in bright sunlight
Hello guys!
Today, after comparing two galaxy s8 plus I noticed that my display, looks a little bit yellow than white. Just the white color, it's not so white... Not sure how to explain it. On the other galaxy, the white is white, like have to, mine look a little bit "yellowish". On both device display settings are not touched. Do you think I should take it to service? Or is just software issue?

Did you accidently turn in blue filter? There's a toggle for it and I've seen people hit it by mistake.

I didn't touch anything. I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTQr6VwMfBI on youtube. So basically Samsung cant make the same color screen on every device? But how can I fix this? Maybe if move the red option in display settings?
Do you think if the white is not white, this means the rest colors are not shown properly also?
