Yellow tinge in display

Hello friends,
Today only i have received my Tab2 7.0 and i am finding some yellowish tinge in display especially in White areas. Anyone else faced this problem ?
Thanks

remove the plastic screen protector, make sure it's not dead pixel (mostly dust inside the plastic screen protector)
if it's dead pixel then you should claim RMA warranty to samsung service center

Oh.....can this Plastic Screen Protector has so much effect
No as yet haven't noticed any dead pixels. Warranty i think is void because of flash counter

dead pixel doesn't means it's muse be black color, (if it's black without emitting light/RGB-color, then it's probably just a dust)
I've dead pixel in my laptop and the color is Reddish-Blue when displaying white scene on monitor.
The pixel contain 3 color (Red, Green, Blue), so in my case should be the Green-subpixel is died.
In your case (Yellowish tinge), probably because the Blue-subpixel is dead.
because Yellow color is produced by combining Red & Green color only (without Blue)
White color is produced by combining Red-Green-Blue subpixel all together, so you must test your screen under white scene (eg: in browser, white text editor, or program can detect dead pixel on the android market)

Oh man ! You got some in-depth knowledge about the subject.
Can you plz tell name of that app ?
Thanks once again !

I also have this yellowish tint display issue on my new tab 2 7.0. Most noticeable in white backgrounds, such as Settings or in Play store, or in the web browser. It's pretty yellowish. And overall the display looks washed out. I thought this is a PLS display..? Same as original galaxy tab 10.1? My original Gtab 10.1 has a much vibrant colors, and this one is really washed out and again, the yellowish tint on white backgrounds.
Is this normal? Is this not a PLS display? Do I have a defective device? Should I exchange it for another one (I prefer not to if it's definitely normal, but will def do if this is not normal).
Thanks for your help!

Could someone please answer to my post?
Anybody who has the tab 2 7.0 must have answer to my question if they also have yellowish tint or not..more technical answer would be also helpful.
Thanks.

Anyone???
I'm debating on exchanging it or not as I'm going to the place I bought it tomorrow. I already have everything set up on this device, so want to know if is is actually defective screen.
Some reviews say that the screen is vibrant, while some others say that it is washed out or yellowish. One review says they hear people complaining that the screen has yellow hue, but they don't have it on their device. I don't know who's right..I did search on this forum, and saw other people complaining too, but not much replies in any of the threads and one person said it must be the screen protector, but I don't have any screen protector on.....
Any help would be appreciated.

If you don't like it, return it. Or, at least you could look at another unit at the store and see if it's consistent.

dead pixels?

hey guys, I've had my phone since launch but just noticed a screen problem. I initially did a dead pixel test when I got the phone but what I missed is that there is a row of off pixels whenever I am on a dark screen. I guess I never noticed it before because my screen doesn't generally have such dark colors on it. Basically on a black screen there is a line and a few dots that are darker than the rest of the screen.
has anyone had these problems before? will Vzw be willing to replace my phone under the manufacturers warranty? thanks guys, love the community

This is a common issue. (should search the forums next time)
You should be able to get VZW to replace your phone, but the chance of getting a phone that is just as bad, if not worse is very likely. Honestly, you shoul do as I have and just deal with it. You very RARELY even see the spots on a dark screen.
That is if it's just a few, if you have a LOT of dark spots like that then you'd prob end up with a better replacement. Me, myself, I have 3 spots that are very small in size so I'm not going to bother to try to get my phone replaced.

Uneven backlight/ colour tone shifting on bottom half of the screen

Just purchased a brand new Galaxy S6 32GB FLAT in white today. Right out of the box, especially on a white background, I noticed that the bottom half of the screen shifts into a more warmer tone. It's most visible on a white background, where i can actually see the transition between the two colour tones. Other colours are affected too, but not as noticeable. Please refer to the attached screenshots, (Ignore the diagonal lines running across the screen, caused by the camera artefact).
My question is, is it normal? Can you please check yours and provide feedback? Thanks in advance

I have the same

Its a common issue. But it shouldnt be like that. You should get a replacement

Dude this isnt severe. Ive seen enough amoled displays having worse tints and stripes. Yours is much better than them. If I was you, I wouldnt settle for this. Replace it or get a refund. I have severe ocd about my phone. I need it to be perfect. Luckily the S6 that I have has a very good display. A perfect one. Get a replacement asap. This isnt something normal.

Im ordering my 2nd replacemeny soon. My first one was yellowish and uneven like yours. My current one has a horrible pink tint. Try 3

Welcome to the club: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/getting-replacement-s6-due-to-screen-t3074865

I took my phone back to the Samsung store and got it replaced by the manager there. The screen looked fine when i first looked at it in store, but soon after taking it home i realised that this second unit has a yellowish tint on the right side of the screen. Going back tomorrow for another replacement.... SIGH!!!!!

My third replacement from the Samsung Exp Store is.... a KEEPER! This unit has a much better even backlight and meets my expectation! After going through that trouble, i'm happy to say that I'm a a happy camper

Looks all right to me, but then again we all perceive things differently. My current unit is not perfect, there's still a green/blue tint to it, but it's tolerable. If you cannot tolerate it, then keep exchanging until you find one that you can tolerate with. Keep in mind though that you won't find a unit with 100% even colour hue; it's the limitation with AMOLED displays. All the best!

I have the same issue

I have the same, but much less severe than yours seem to be. I don't notice it at all with normal use, only super slightly on bright white screens. If it really looks like it does on the photo, I would get it replaced.

Light bars on black wallpaper
I have the following issue on black wallpapers.On top and bottom there is a lighter bar.This appears only after applying the wallpaper.Viewing them with Quickpick there are no bars.Same in Nova and TW after applying it.Tried attaching a screen but the bars are not captured.What could it be,a ROM issue,a low DPI?I have the DPI set to low.Also on brighter pics you can't see the bars ,after applying which makes sense.

White uniformity - Is this the jelly effect and is it normal?
I got a really good deal on a used Tab S6 from Amazon and I love the tablet but there is weird tinting thing happening on white screens.
When viewed slightly off-axis the tint goes blue.
Makes me nuts when reading NY TImes and edges of white screen are tinted blue.
The effect changes when viewed at different angles and seen without screen protector. It is tough to photograph but hopefully you can see what I see.
Ignore the moire in the middle of the first shot - that's a screen protector... Look at extreme edges of screen.
Thanks and pardon me if this has been answered before - I've searched and couldn't find this issue.

Screen Artifacts when displaying gray images on lowest brightness

Hello guys,
I'm an owner for an Exynos S8+.
Phone has some red tint but that doesn't bother me much.
However, yesterday I noticed a new problem, while I was in bed, with all lights down and at lowest brightness, I noticed gray images displayed are darker on the right half of the screen than the left.
Some sort of artifacts show up and the screen looks all smudged.
So my question to you is,
can you open this image http://imgur.com/a/vXjac on lowest brightness and on a completely dark room and tell me if you see any smudges on your screen. You can also drop the notification shade down to make the supposedly artifacts more visible.

I believe those "smudges" are created by just how the amoled panel is made / works, since all my amoled devices (including the S8+) have those when viewing in the dark. It was worse on my old phone (S6E+), and you could also see the "smudges" in sunlight as vertical lines of more light and more dark up and down the screen.

But can you see it on your S8/S8+?
I tried the same image under the same conditions on my S7Edge and it doesn't happen.
As it stands, my S8+ showing that image on lowest brightness and dark room has the right half of the screen darker than the left side wtih smudges in between.
Looks horrible and I'm not sure I can get it replaced.

I had this issue before last time when purchasing the Tab S 2. I went back to shop ask them go in the completely dark room and show them. They exchange a new one for me.
If your phone had no constant display of dark grey, I suggest you bring back to shop for changing.

So, when you replicate my issue on your S8+, you have a clear dark grey image without any colour distortion?
I'm going to the store tomorrow but I'm afraid they'll send it in for warranty instead of trading it in for a new one.

Yup clear dark grey without any distortion.
I suggest you go back store and exchange it. Just use demo set to proof it no such issue.

Sudden temporary light bleed

Hi guys, I've had the strangest thing with my U11+ yesterday. I picked it up and turned it on after it had not been used for just a few minutes. The display showed enormous light bleed!
All four corners had clearly noticeable white in them, and the sides were white as well. This was all with the screen turned on. It scared the hell out of me.
The white started disappearing slowly immediately. After 5 to 10 minutes the white was completely gone and my display has been just fine since.
Is this normal? How can this happen? Is my display history soon?

There is similar tread I think, and few people had that problem and me too once or twice few months ago but now everything is ok, except burns-in in corners, and while lines when it is cold, but I am waiting for cold weather to send phone back to repair or whatever. The display is disaster, it is impossible to show or look images on a sunny day...

Hi, the only threads I found were about the constant but hardly noticeable light bleed, especially at the bottom. Nothing about this temporary light bleed.
Good to hear I'm not the only one with this. I do not have white lines. I find the display very clear and sharp, it should only have been a lot brighter to use in sunlight.
Is anything known about people who send theirs for repair? Do they get it back with a brighter display?

I don't know if there is any help coz even u12+ has dimmed display.

They say U12+ is 10-20% brighter. Who knows.
