Does anybody else think the Moto G's screen is too blue?

It's not a bad screen at all but I can tell the screen is a bit more blue than it should be. I wonder if there can ever be a kernel control to dial down the blue, or maybe an update will help color correct it.

No, not at all blue

Nope. The white point on the one I just received is perfect...a tad on the warm side, but not obviously 'yellow' or anything like that. Colors look very natural. I'm extremely impressed; this is a WAY better screen than what's in my Nexus 4.

It's possible, but it may not necessarily be easy. There is an LCD calibration and gamma control/adjuster app for Nexus 4 that I use to make the image on my N4 more acceptable, but it is *very* specific to the N4. In fact, it requires a particular kernel be running on it just to work (definitely not the stock one). Who knows how involved such a task would be on the G, or how soon anybody will realistically be able to tackle it.

...so, Motorola is probably using multiple display vendors, and each one's display has different qualities/traits. I suppose it could also just be "acceptable" variation from display to display coming off of the assembly line of one manufacturer. (Display inconsistencies drive me nuts, too. You shouldn't have to play a "lottery" to get an acceptable display; ugh.)

The screen on my Moto G is very good. Not too blue at all. I actually compared it to my Nexus 5 side by side and the colors are definitely more vibrant, colorful and sharp on my G. The whites are whiter on the 5 and have a very slight yellow tint on the G but other then that the screen is fantastic. I was very surprised.

Yea my screen is nice on my g. It is little yellowish on white but I have no complaints on my end

Mine tends to hue towards the blue but only ever so slightly. Compared next to partners nexus 5 my moto g colours seem to 'pop' more, i.e. have more vibrancy, but her nexus 5 tends to have more natural accurate colour reproduction.
Also the image on my g feels like its seated behind glass whereas the nexus almost feels like your touching the image (read: closer to the surface). Must be to do with the screen coatings or something.

The highly detailed anand tech review also talks in depth about the blue ness of this screen

Nope, when I put it next to my galaxy mega, it's actually warmer. And my mega has a pretty neutral screen.
Compared to my mega, the screen of the moto g is dimmer, and the colors are a bit dull.

Backlight colour variation is a fact of life with white LED backlight - the LEDs are manufactured and then sorted into bins of particular characteristics, and to attain a better cost a manufacturer may specify several bins are acceptable. A device manufacturer might not even specify which bins the backlight for their device should come from, leaving it to the display module manufacturer to choose.

Hmmm I did order it from Amazon...
Maybe Faux's new kernel will allow us to fix it someday.

holy shiet faux kernel! i didnt even see it
and yeah, and if faux's kernel does fix it we would have a great display tbh

Faux kernel doesn't yet support colour calibration however I think moto g has perfect mixture of colours as
the whites look crystal white while all the other colours are very accurate and are saturated but not so much.
It has better colour representation than my 2nd gen Nexus which has very excellent screen.

I feel that the contrast for dark colours is not ideal at my phone. When in game in in shade I feel like it was night...

I think it is too yellow

I find my screen has a pinkish hue to it. Does not bother me at all though.

So, any information on Amazon UK - which Moto G (display-related) it sells?

I have one on the way, I'll check what I got. However for the record, tesco sells the "good" screens, no blue pink or any hue to the screen on the moto g I looked at.

[Q] Moto G Pinkish Tint : Required Help

Hi
This is my first post to this forum
Recently i had bought new Moto G from India. Phone is awesome. But display seems to be faulty. It's screen is slightly pinkish tinted. I had compared it to Nokia 520 and 720. Pics are attached herewith. My question is that, It is really faulty display or it is common to all Moto Gs. Please give me suggestion on this as there is still 30 day replacement scheme available. Should i have to replace it or not ?
Thanks in advance:good:

Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated!

this is a 1st world problem but its from India.
seriously, tints on the phone vary..most of the time towards blue. so having a slight pink would be perferred to many.
Is there anything really wrong with it? Then replace it.

Thanks for the reply.
I think most of the Moto Gs are made from 2nd world(china). so problem may be common to all.
i had asked this question because if this problem is common to all Moto Gs then there is no reason to replace it. and only other Moto G owners know the display quality.

further suggestions would be appreciated:good:

My screen does not have any tint. I guess you can replace it, if you still have replacement scheme and you can convince them that it is not as advertised.

Can you provide me the pics of your Moto G's screen ?

Read somehwere that manufacturers release these tinted glasses for a reason.... It gives the lcd more durability. Mine also has a velvetish tint on the screen. It could also be the addition of metal oxides to give it a better durability. Can anyone second me on this?

That i dont know,but may be possible
But i forgot to add one thing that even color of the LCD material of Moto G is somewhat reddish(not black or grey). When LCD is in off condition(no back-light), reflection of light from Moto G's screen seems to be reddish. Means color of the LCD material of Moto G is reddish, not blackish nor grayish
Does anybody has observed this type of thing ?

[Q] 2 Different screen tints?

Hi xda,
I have two Moto G's; a 16GB version and a 4G version and they have totally different screen tints.
When displaying white, the 4G version has a warmer yellowish tint, while the 16GB has a cooler tint slightly towards blue. The 16GB's white is a lot clearer and more white, so in my opinion this one looks better.
Does this mean my 4G version has a defective screen? I'm planning on returning it, but I'm not sure and I haven't found a lot of information about this.
Thanks in advance,
Castanje

Sorry for the bump. No one? Please?

[Q] Does the G Flex 2 Suffer from Screen Burn?

Hey guys,
Potential LG G Flex 2(H955) owner here. Before I buy it, I heard that the G Flex 1 had some screen burn issues. The G Flex 2 has the same screen technology so I want to know to what extent it will screen burn, as compared to something like Samsung's AMOLED. I know that those display phones can get screen burn since they are on max brightness with the same image/wallpaper.
However I will be smarter with my G Flex 2 and I will need it to last at LEAST 2 years before another upgrade.
Any feedback will be appreciated, thanks!

there are issues with some screens for example you see yellow spots with brightness 0% in grey font. With full brightness it is not very visible.

That wasn't what he's asking and I'd like to know that too.
My Note 2 screen has burned parts of it (top, bottom and a vertical yellow line in the middle) from using it for navigation. It appeared after a couple months of using it for that purpose.

Maybe its too early to spot this issue i personally have the phone less than 2 months. but from what I read about yellow spots and banding even changing the screen in service doesn't mean that you will get a perfect panel. Some people changed 5-6 times panel in order to find a good one.

Yeah. The problem (at least for me) is, that I couldn't find any info on this pOLED technology. I know AMOLED will burn out like nobody's business but I don't know if there is any reason this POLED would behave any different. It's the OLED part which is the culprit in the end (IMHO) but one just hope, they found some way around it (wishfulthinking).

I have a Flex 2 revision 1.0 from Italy. It has a permanent ghosting on white screen with the logo lg barely visible in the background. Also some yellowish tinting here and there. Blacks are impecable and on screen tester it shows perfect greys/blacks. I am starting to think the problem was heat. The 810 overheated the newly engaged screen and burnt a image on the glass itself . Oled are small oleophobic panels which generate heat so when it was coupled with the processor heating it created a ghost of the still image which still haunts me.

Do you even know what you're saying?
OLED stands for Organic LED. Oleophobic means fat/grease resistant.

Moto X Pure is the best sunlight readable bootloader-unlocked phone

With 815 nits and low glare screen, the Moto X Pure is by far the most easily readable 5.5" or larger phone under direct sunlight.... which also has unlocked bootloader and can flash CM/AOSP ROM's.
Just wanted to mention that fact.
And based on history, I don't expect the upcoming Nexus 5.5" to have a brighter screen even though it's AMOLED.
Heck, even the Moto Z is far more dim.
Combined with the bright screen, SD storage, water "resistant" and nice bezel to screen ratio size, the MotoX Pure just can't be replaced for me right now.
And I really, really am itching for a new phone.
Just isn't anything on the market that compares (for my needs) right now.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Nothing out there at the moment seems worth it to upgrade.

Same here, though I wouldn't mind if someone gifts a galaxy note 7

Same here, too - currently rocking an EU X Style.

My only complaint is how weak these screens are, and if you get even one little crack 9t renders the screen useless... My s4 was shattered all over and still functioned perfectly. I've broken this stupid screen twice, second time barely at all and screen didn't work. Luckily the first time I ordered a new screen they seller accidentally sent me 2

I agree. I bought this to use with Republic Wireless to try out their new GSM service. My old Moto X 1st Gen still works great, but I was itching for a new toy, and I'm not rich, so the Amazon Prime Day special was perfect for me. When I got it, I immediately started missing the AMOLED screens I'm used to with the Moto X 1st Gen and 2 Galaxy S4's that I have. The resolution is gorgeous, but I miss the deep blacks and popped colors. BUT....today I was using it outside, and it was by far the best phone I've used outside! And I love the GravityBox feature to slide the brightness up swiping the status bar.

True... But the cost of that brightness and outdoor visibility is it drains your battery like fruit in a juicer. High screen brightness where the display is maxed out is beautiful on this device, but if you can get 90 minutes of usage on a full charge your darn lucky.

I like the look of the Note 7 too but less keen on the cost. Nothing really makes me want to swap my X Style. Bright screen, good speakers, good mobile reception, battery lasts me most days but can always top up with turbo charger. Might even get Android N? Mine is still stock.

At least I have the choice to set the screen that bright, even if it can only last 90 minutes.

Oh, and louder than average speakers so I can listen to talk radio while walking my dog in loud areas.

Agreed. I have a 6P right now and it's useless under sunlight with polarized sunglasses on.
And the stupid thing doesn't remember bluetooth loudness levels per device like my X did.

There is an app for that.
Wish I could remember what it's called, but I do remember it worked well for me back when I needed it.
Search Play store for Bluetooth and you'll find some neat things.

Uhh. I just downgraded to a Xperia z5 compact, mainly because the headphone jack broke on this, probably because it's so darn big and using the jack in my pocket puts too much pressure on it.
I chose the z5c because it has dual speakers and almost the same chipset:
The speakers are crap compared to the X. The screen in sunlight has these weird glares as if you can see tiny wires over the screen(the digitizer?) And the 810 inside it gets really hot doing the simplest things, like redditing.
So now I use both phones. The X for reading/listening to stuff around the house, and the z5c for when I'm out.

Would u recommend the moto x over 6p. I like Android N on the 6p but the screen is dim as hell. I have a HTC 10. But I want a bigger screen. Thoughts? Thanks

I sometimes think about moving to the HTC 10! I do find the X Style a little clumsy to use one handed. On the other hand I like the bigger display. BTW, how do you find the HTC 10 display outside on a bright day?
As to getting an X Pure/Style over the Nexus then I'm sure you'll find the Moto display easier to use on bright days. Otherwise is the Style better than the Nexus 6p then I don't know for sure. If your bothered about updates then the Nexus will be better. For the money I'm sure you'll not be disappointed with the Style/Pure

mxp price -perfonmace = best ever
ı use iphone lg sony but this awsomm :fingers-crossed:

To bad when my phone rings and I pull it out of my pocket I can barely see who is calling and barely can see the red n green phone icon while in bright day light.
No custom rom.

It will depend on you really. If getting the latest and greatest Android version and security updates is a big deal, then the 6p. If you are outside our using your phone in really bright areas a lot then the MXPE is the better for that. Everything else after these considerations will really depend on what little features that each offers that you think will benefit you the most.

I'm looking to finally upgrade from my AT&T Note 3. I want SD card support, 5.7+ screen, and an unlocked bootloader. Moto X Pure seems to be the perfect phone for me.... unless someone can recommend a better phone.
