Hey guys,
while gaming yesterday I noticed how my regular S6 develops kind of a green shade of the right edge of the screen. It's especially visible on darker colours like the one in the attached image. It's only visible in some situations and wouldn't bother me at all if it was an AMOLED issue specific to this screen, but could any of you display the image at full brightness in a dark room and tell me if you've got the same green tint on your S6?
Thanks in advance!

Anyone notice a strange dynamic shimmering/interference effect on darker backgrounds at low to medium low? It's almost like the screen is picking up analog interference. I have not tried to capture on camera. Pull up a solid color (grey, like the google now background, or white) and set the brightness to min.
Anyone else's tab have it?

I have it on my current Galaxy Tab 7.7, it is very visible especially on backgrounds with gray color
On my previous Galaxy Tab 7.7 it does not have this problem
I have no shimmering or any other issues with my screen. It's perfect
Got lucky for once, hope it stays like this.

It primarily happens at minimum brightness, solid color (white screen)
Can anyone else check their tablet for this issue?
I think I have this issue, is it like a random slight colour variation every so often? I keep thinking I am tripping out

I have the same problem, on minimum brightness, mostly on grey colored areas on the screen.
the only time i see this is when their is some oil from skin on the screen. it looks rainbowy.
aboslutely nothing that looks like shimmering otherwise.

Tested it at night in the dark. Auto and minimum brightness. Solid red, green, blue, gray, black and white colors. No shimmering or any deformation on the screen.

Thanks for checking, guys.
My first P6800 from february this year has had this issue and I thought this is something oled specific. After my bag got stolen (lucky bastards) I was buying a new p6800 in august. These downtuned grey and green colours are now rock-solid on that new device. So obviously that is a little bit of gambling. quality control and yield of larger oled still seem to have potential...

i just got a new moto razr hd
the device is brand new but the display looks all yellowish
my friend also has the same phone but when kept aside it shows brighter whites whereas mine shows yellowish tint
any info u guys know why this is there ?
Screen Yellow
My phone is also well..
i have checked forums and its not a defect its because the displays are made from different manufacturers
some intentionally make warmer displays for better skin tones look
but anyone knows any app to change the hue or colors of the display
Hello everybody.
I received the exynos galaxy S7 few days ago. The experience with it is very good so far but there is an annoying thing about it. As I said in the title, the viewing angle are bad.
Indeed, for example when the background is white (rather yellow even with my display in basic mode), the colors change when I incline the smartphone for example at the beginning the yellow tint (normally white) tends to white then to a chameleon tint ( green, red, blue, purple) tint very fast. I know it can be normal with extreme viewing angles but in my case, it happens when I slightly incline the smartphone but I can still distinguish the content displayed though.
My brother owns a galaxy s7 edge and he doesn't experience this issue.
Do you experience the same problem? Do you think my device is defective?
Thanks.
I,
My device gets blue/green tint when I slightly incline it too... it's my first Samsung and amoled screen, so I don't know if it's ok, but I find it very disturbing...
Get a replacement if you can. I had a blue tint on white at very small angles on my first phone, the second one is better, not perfect but I can live with it.

I had a replacement this week-end and... the problem is still there !
Ok, I admit that it is less "agressive", but the screen still gets blue when inclined (even a little bit).
Maybe I'm not familiar with AMOLED screens (I've read it's typical), but I find it very annoying...
It's typical. Most people that continually spout off about how great AMOLED screens are and how they're so superior to LCDs conveniently ignore issues like this. The truth is, LCDs have some issues, like weak blacks if you're in a dark environment, but AMOLED screens usually have even more issues than LCDs, especially when it comes to displaying white and shades of gray.
I have been always using Night light before going to bed which makes the screen warmer. This is good for you before going to sleep, as blue light will disturb you. If you are new to this, search this topic up in the Internet.
So, recently I thought about using Reading mode (which converts the screen to greyscale) for night and what I found in the Internet is that this mode as well as Night light helps to fall asleep. However I was confused, as greyscale includes just shades of black and white, whereas white is the mix of red, green and BLUE. I conducted a little research using my phones and a macro lens.
I wanted to find out which colours are really being displayed when using Night light/Reading mode. I shot some macro photos of the OLED screen (OnePlus 7 Pro) and I did one shot of the LCD screen (Xperia S). Here are the results:

Night light:
#1 As you can see, on the first photo not only are red pixels involved in Night light but also the blue light is reduced.
#2 On the second image the difference is more subtle when the change concerns white light, however when taken as one the difference is noticable.
#3 On the third image there is the same story. The bluish colour is now dimmed and some more red is involved.
#4 Here I was viewing blue and red colour. After enabling Night light the blue colour dimished strongly and the red was even more punchy.
#5 This one is taken on the LCD screen - the same trend applies.
Reading mode:
#6 Here I was displaying pure red. After applying the filter, the screen turned into some shade of gray, which is the combination of red, green and blue. Thus, blue pixels got involved here.
#7 This is again a mix of red and blue. After using the filter, they turned to different shades of grey. So on the blue side the red pixels turned on, and on the red side the blue pixels turned on.
According to this, my guess is that Reading mode doesn't really help much when going to bed, as blue pixels are still turned on when viewing any colour (apart from black on OLED screens). What are your thoughts? Am I right or do I miss something?
I recently sent my phone back for a screen replacement. And the new screen is insanely greenish, not partially greenish, but greenish everywhere. After comparing it with other phones, I found that it was not a too-much-green problem, because the screen still looks off with green intensity reduced with Color Changer Pro. The problem is the screen's tint is off, which should be moved towards the megenta side.
And I saw that you get to manually control the tint on Xiaomi phones. There's no such thing on Samsung's One UI. I know you can control the color balance when you set your screen mode to Adaptive, but it's wayyy to saturated and like I said, reducing green intensity won't solve the problem.
So anyone got an idea about how I can change the tint of the screen? Thanks ahead.
