Its strange but noticed that my phones whit coloring looks a little more greenish than my.friends vibrant. And then i compared my captivate to my gfs and here whites r more white colored like my friend.
I don't get it, did a lot if the models come with different screens that display differently?

seems like someone needs a little more research
wait what no the whole entire galaxy s line has super amoled hmm its maybe the tint thats changed a little
A Super ALOMED screen is still AMOLED.
Anyway, just because it is the same model screen doesn't mean there are not variations in the mfg process that could cause slight differences. With the amount of screens that they are pushing out I am sure they are using equivelent components that may not be exactly the same.
Also depending on the allowed tollerances, 2 screen with slighly different temperature ratings could both still pass QA.
Personally my screen is very cold, whites tend to have a slight tint of blue to them. I prefer warmer displays but the SAMOLED is too nice to ignore even if the picture is cold.
It's possible that the screens are going through a rapid break-in process and the screens look different because they have been used different amounts.
Or it could just be differences within manufacturing tolerances.
Well this all makes sense. Mine has a greenish tiny, my gf and frie.d have a warmer orange redish tint and i have a lil blue green tint.
This follows the rgb thing in a way. I think different screen manufacturers favor one of the latter.

That's funny cause the AT&T commercial specifically says "The first and only Super AMOLED screen" or something of that nature....
screen is fine, got mine on launch day,,,im sooooo loving this phone,i was using omnia2....

They may make the screen, but that doesn't mean they make all the materials used to manufacture the screen.
Different materials cause wider manufacturing tolerances. It's not different manufacturers favoring one color over another in this situation.
I really wish there could be a straight answer instead of speculating why our phones are cooler and warmer in color. I mean the screen still looks freakin great, but i wonder if there is a way to manipulate it through software.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I agree. I would love it if phones finally started letting you adjust color temperature like computers.
My screen is also blue. I´m waiting it to go away in time, but I´m really sceptic about it...
It´s easy to test after you download somekind of a flashlight app and use it in the dark, mine gives the same blueish light like those cheap led-flashlights, so definytely not real whites in my unit...

There is no such thing as real white when it comes to light (what your screen is putting out). I would prefer the screen to be warmer, but it is still white.
For more information look up color temperature.
The HTC Desire and Nexus one on Cyanogen Mod both allow you to adjust gamma settings via software. So this can definitely be corrected. All it requires is additional dev magic and a dab of patience.

That's interesting,i hope someone is working on color temperature too.
Somebody else mentioned it but "manufacturer tolerance" is what causes this. It would be possible to make them all exactly the same, but the costs of the device would go up significantly. Usually the difference is so minute that most people never notice.
You see the same thing with mass produced digital projectors and tvs. If you were to take 10 new projectors of the same model and line them up side by side you would find not all the pictures were exactly the same. Due to manufacturer tolerance some may be slightly brighter or dimmer and colors may be a little more vibrant on another.
Blue Tint
Yes, Super Amoleds are coming in all forms of Tint. Some are lucky to get nice warm whites. Other people get green, blue, greenish blue, or even yellow tints.
maybe even pink tint like the amoled on zune hd

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
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
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.
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.
Does anyone have a pink tint to part of the screen? I know the Galaxy s6 had a bad problem with this. I'm hoping it's been solved in this generation.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/getting-replacement-s6-due-to-screen-t3074865
No pink tint on my S7, but the screen is not uniform. Bottom right corner is what it's supposed to be, with white background, but the upperpart has a yellowish tint to it.
Going crazy with these AMOLED screens, because last time I tried to buy a S3, I had to cancel my purchase after 3 units. They all had the same problem and I really tought, that Samsung could produce good screens after so many years, and because this isn't that much different with S6's screen
My Verizon S7 just starting displaying this problem. Bringing it back to Best Buy ASAP today.

My flat S7 has a bad screen too : Pink / Green color shift from top to bottom...
I already had this problem with 3 different S6 so I'm really disappointed the issue is still present with the S7. Got a RMA but it may takes 3 weeks for a replacement thanks to the ****ty consumer service in my country .
Here is a shot of the problem (the 2 shots are the same I have just augmented contrast on the second one to clearly see the problem).

I'm quoting myself from another thread. Still an issue... I'm waiting for a replacement model right now and I hope the screen will be good.
Yep, I've got this issue. Pink tint at the bottom of the screen. The only negative of an otherwise faultless phone. I kind of wish it had an IPS LCD, seems these AMOLED screens are very inconsistent with colour. At the moment it's not TOO bad but I'd prefer a uniform display. Didn't have this issue with the S6.

i have to exchange my amoled phones ALWAYS a few times (ordered my 5th S7 Edge today)!
i wrote a few threads regarding this, i also sent a message to displaymate (because they test "cherry-picked" devices, and do not mention this), see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/note4-amoled-screen-quality-t2906365
1st: display not good compared to second device
2nd: the device i use now. very good viewing angles and no tint, BUT: left side of display is darker then right side
3rd: display strong yellow tint
4th: display almost good, slight yellow tint. would take this, BUT: front cam takes blurry pictures compared to other devices...
5th: ordered today!
you may think i'm a hypocrite or have OCD, but it makes me mad that a 800EUR device has such flaws!!!

I absolutely agree with you guys. We are paying a significant amount of money and we expect it to be perfect.
Kudos for keep trying @TML1504. Hope you get a perfect one this time.
Are you buying this from a local store or a online seller? Because all local stores in my country will ask too much question if I approach them for replacement since it's a silly issue related to display, software, speaker, camera. Mostly likely it will end up in a pointless argument from their side and they consider the issue under warranty only. Speaking based on my earlier experiences.
Are the screen tint issues happening straight out of the box or do they develop over time?
Are you guys noticing it when the display it tilted or even in straight position?
I got a replacement unit yesterday, but had to wait almost 4 weeks for it. Didn't get a DOA replacement at the store, because the store manager didn't see the yellow tint. This new unit has slight pink tint on the top part of the screen. Gonna wait till thursday and decide if I'm gonna change this one. Probably not, because with my luck I have to change phones too many times, and the store manager doesn't want/or can't see the problem.
Maybe I'm gonna forget and get used to this screen, because it's little bit better than the first unit. Driving me crazy that Im so sensitive to this kind of things

galaxy s7 screen problem
same here i preordered a galaxy s7 and after 1 week of use i started noticing some color shiftiing when i'm in a dark room the auto brightnes turns the light down
and i start noticing ( especiallly in grey, grey dark and green dark cloros ) that the left side is brighter than the right side .
it's like a wave of light from the bottom left to the upper left of the screen this is really annoying when using a grey theme for example .
i compared to a galaxy note5 and s6 and they also have the same problem but in different parts of the screen.
i can't return it cuz the people in samsung want notice the problem. and they will tell me there's nathing wrong with it so i'll keep it until next year.
and by th way i had the same problem but it was pink on the right side whit my s6 last year and i changed the display twice under waranty, the third try i've got a farely good display.
maybe the next year i'll buy an iphone.

Like any oled screen. It's a lottery what the colour shift, evenness. If you notice it you should exchange it. It will annoy you to no end
Yea it happens, u could exchange it but whos to say itll be worse or better? Maybe the device will have another defect thats major. Who knows of its really annoying u go for the exchange and pray.

My color shifts a little when grey (I guess like yours) but I feel like it will look like this no matter how many times I exchange it. Still looks good IMO. Just suck a large screen so different angles may shift.
