Yellow-ish tint on note pro 12.2

I bought 3 note pros, 2 were bought as soon as it was released here in Canada for my father and girl friend, and another one just few days ago for my self.
then i found out as soon as turned the new one on, the white color produced by later wasn't quite white compare to the ones i bought several month ago. and maximum brightness wasn't as bright as the first two as well.
so i decided to exchange, went to the future shop with my girlfriend's tablet to show the difference in white color and brightness. I opened up a new box right in front of customer service and guess what it has same problem. I asked for another set and the technician refused to do so saying there's nothing wrong with the unit. so i took my girlfriend's tablet out and show him how bad the screen is compared to old tablet and told him me being picky with 800 dollar tablet's screen is normal, he could not say a thing and opened up another box telling me he would not open up another one anymore because "company cannot make any money selling openbox item" which i think is DEFECTIVE UNIT rather than open box. He said he will do return if i am still not satisfied. (Can they really do that? seriously? now i am thinking i might complain this matter to head now..)
anyway the new one had the same problem, so i had to return the unit that they will not exchange anymore regardless... and went to best buy across the street and the first unit i opened was same thing again so i just kept it assuming Samsung might have changed the panel or something.
my point is.. LCD panels used in later batch of note pros might be differ from the first batch and it is really bad compare to the first batch.. or i am just being super picky.....
i will take a picture later tonight to show you guys as well.
is anyone having similar problem with recently purchased unit?

Are the screen modes all set the same across all three devices? (Referring to Settings--> Device--> Display--> Screen Mode, also check Reading Mode is off).

Yes thats the first thing i did. Ser brightness to max, reading mode off and tried 3 different modes one at a time.

Odd. Ironically there were early complaints that the display doesn't do yellows well lol.

Here's a comparison between my 12.2 and my Nexus 10.

I have the same exact problem. The yellow and green have 'black dots'. It looks awful! Is there any solution?

[Q] Screen shakes/jitters vertically

My Nexus 5 is showing some pretty disturbing vertical screen shaking... look at the video below to have an idea.
Any idea what may be causing it? I did not drop the phone recently. It just started happening out of the blue. I notice it gets worse the more you use it (maybe related to heat? But the phone is no hotter than usual). For example, leave it for a few hours, and the screen works fine... until about 5-10 minutes later when the problem comes back. And if I continue using it, the shaking becomes worse to the point it's impossible to type/see anything anymore.
I did some searching and it looks like it could be the dock flex cable giving the issue. Can someone link me to a reputable seller who sells proper flex cables for the Nexus 5? I saw a few on Amazon but most of them have rather dissuading reviews.
Thanks guys.

Anyone?

Got same issue. Replace USB component inside the phone. That fixed mine.

This is the one I'm looking for right? Any quality issues or can I just get any one from Amazon/eBay?

Yes, that's the flex part. Can't tell if the ones sold in eBay/amazon are the original or OEM parts, you should check the feedback/buyer's reviews.

Thanks for the help. Sadly none of the well-reviewed sellers on Amazon ship to my country, so I got it off eBay... one of the sellers with 98%+ ratings. The thing with eBay is that there are so many sellers with these 98/99% ratings that kind of just defeat the purpose of the ratings, and these same sellers DO sell fakes too. But I just got one and hope it works.
The screen just gets worse and worse each day. My phone is now unusable after about 1 minute of use.

I have the same issue and the flex cable replacement didn't work for me...it flickers in Safe Mode, after a reset and with Android 6 or 5, both of which I flashed from Googles download page.
Interestingly it doesn't flicker in recovery...
Stability Test app gave no screen problems testing the CPU, but flickered like a mad thing testing the GPU..
GPU Benchmark 3D however was super smooth and flicker free...very confusing.
Have you had any luck finding a solution?

When I first bought the XZ, I received 2 different brand new copies that had this issue - here's the worst one.
Fortunately I had good return policies, so I sent them back and finally 3rd time's a charm I got a perfect one.

My XZ have the same problem.

a little yellow tint started to appear in my XZ on the bottom left corner... barely visible... and yesterday i noticed a light bleed on black background a little above the power button, and almost in the same surface another yellow tint, and both barely visible....
it's so weird... because they weren't present, and i don't know for what reason that appeared...
i think im going to sell it, and search for another one without defect.... i bought without warranty

Reddish Hue Screen Color Normal ? Return this device ?

Hi Guys,
Need some advice. Just picked up a galaxy s8 plus for my personal device. I had one already for work. Noticed the work device has a much cooler screen and looks more white to me. Noticed the S8 plus i picked up for my personal has a redder hue to it. I tweaked the different modes in display but the personal device just cant get as cool or white as the work device I have. The work device (Left) is the US Snapdragon model and the personal ( right) is the international exynos model. Is this hue worth returning over or is this variation in screens normal. Looked at a Note 8 i have and it resembles the work device and is cooler and whiter as well. Any ways i can get the whites the same on my personal device ? Coincidentally the device on the right was manufactured 4/27/2017 while the device on the left was made 3/23/2017. I have also tried the display tweaks and the *#15987# trick.

Return it. That's how my first looked, and no matter how I adjust the tone, it couldn't get white. My replacement is normal. I almost kept the first thinking it's normal per the number of reports I've seen about it, but I'm so glad I exchanged it.

Thanks for the feedback

Just to rule it out, you don't have the Blue Light filter on right?

red tint is a common issue on Samsung amoled displays! I had to exchange my device 6 times (!!) to get a decent screen, just look at my posts regarding that!

Nvm

I'd keep it. Looks better than your other one. Definitely more natural

I own a small repair shop and actually had a client with this issue last week. Unfortunately for her, the phone was bought from eBay and it didn't had any warranty, so she couldn't ask for a replacement, thus coming to my shop. I kept looking for a solution all day long, but she eventually sold it.

Thanks

Hopefully they remedy eventually. Was reading and some Note 8's even have the same issue. Guess you have to get used to it.

I would stick with basic. It is what everything but HDR content is supposed to be viewed in.
That yellowish tint is totally normal and how it should be. The phone you have pictured on the left has way too cool of an image.

had to go through about 4 exchanges when the iPhone SE came out due to yellowing on the display, so i feel your pain of going through the hassle of having to exchange 6! fortunately, i lucked out with the S8+ and the first replacement is perfect.

Agreed. The simplicity of the design and the combination of the red colour with the black front easily makes it a stunning device. Total value for money. I don't get how other OEMs can justify selling their devices for £800+
Great pics BTW it shows off the beauty of the OP6 Red ??

Loving this case by Mofi, compliments the red nicely ......although I do like to go naked sometimes
