I've noticed that on white backgrounds such as Web browsing, there is slight pink tinting going on on the left side of my screen, and the lower bottom of the screen. However it is most apparent when using the keyboard, then the left side of the keyboard has a slight tint of pink and the other looks ok. I can't really use the demo store units a base to go off of, since those screens have burn in already from prolonged use. I did compare my friends note 4 to my screen, and his looked uniform (although a tiny yellow tint across the whole screen, but uniform). I value uniformity since that would not bug me. Anyone else notice this issue?

This has been an issue on every Samsung phone since the S4. Odds are your replacement will also have it to some extent.

Mine first one had sort of a round pink area on the right edge of the screen, and once you saw it you couldn't look away. I had it replaced and the new one is much better.

I'm noticing this on my new note 5 as well just in the bottom half of my screen its very subtle and hard to catch on camera but I can see it the stock Samsung keyboard instead of being a greyish color looks more of a light pinkish color its quite annoying I just got my phone on Thursday I may just drop by T-Mobile and have them replace it with in my grace period.

Nice, I hope mine is close to perfect too, because having a slightly pinkish left side on higher brightness while reading text is annoying.

I just had mine replaced brand new because of my 14 day grace period and the new one has no such problem. Screen looks great and not a hint of a pink hue or a pink tint anywhere. I posted a picture of the new one, the lower left corner of the keyboard on my old one was where it was most notable.

So what was the end result of your new Note 5 ? Hopefully good
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
Well I received my replacement and I'm somewhat neutral about it. The condition is completely flipped now. The right side of my screen has a pink tint to it, except this time it doesn't extend from the side to almost half the screen like my older note did. The pink tint is somewhat more noticeable though, as in darker. Another thing I noticed was that this screen has a more noticeable screen flicker than the older one on max brightness over white backgrounds. I'll post pictures soon for you guys to see a difference. But at this point, I think I'm going to wait it out 15 days to wait on new stock to come then test my luck again.

Im wondering if the Samsung Infuse 4G suffers the same issue with the Galaxy S2's screen issues..
1.) Yellow tinting
2.) Left side is darker than the right
3.) Huge color temperature swings from unit to unit
4.) Difference of white brightness
5.) Visible suction cup marks
6.) White blotches on the screen when a gray image is displayed
7.) Color banding
Any input is appreciated, pictures are also welcome especially if its the notification tray dropped down.
I personally have not had any of those issues that i can recall or that i can tell.
At the very very bottom of my screen on the Infuse there is a noticeable tearing or bending...whatever you want to call it. I have seen 4 with this small imperfection. Maybe it was a bad batch.

I think it is an intended effect. (bottom of screen) It's really noticeable when you scroll through text.
The issues the OP mentioned, I've seen none of.
It's clearly not an intended effect. It's only the bottom row of pixels anyway.
None of those other problems I have in the slightest.

I had a light spot on my first Infuse. It was only noticeable on dark gray backgrounds. Exchanged because of it and my second and third Infuses didn't have it.
Haven't noticed the other issues mentioned by the OP and I'm pretty particular about screens. Color balance is much better than my old Captivate.
@hwaters
I may just be seeing things but there also looks like a yellowish tint captured by the camera, would be you able to zoom out a bit on the photos something that shows the entire phone but not further away. Thanks!
For those who are willing to contribute pictures please post a picture of the notification tray dropped down with the full phone in view.
My camera was having focusing issues from farther away but I did take a few other pictures earlier today.
If there is some yellow tinting oh well. It may just be an issue with how they may the super amoled plus screens.
So I RMA'd and Google sent me a new Nexus 5 from the new "311k" batch. My original Nexus 5 is a "launch" version of the "310k" batch...
I turn my phone on and I immediately see a yellow/brownish tint to the new one they sent me (311k). Now, is this something that's permanent or will it get better with more use of the phone? My original Nexus 5 has bright whites with no beige tint to them...
I took some pics with an S3, the differences in pictures seem minor...in person it's literally night and day. Especially when using an app like hangouts...I'm sure if I had a better camera it'd pick it up.

I am not. I searched google and it seems to be an issue some people are having...but like I said it's odd to me because it's such a drastic difference and you can notice it everywhere on the phone.
You can't even say the whites are "white"
That's really interesting. There is a way to find it what type of screen out has with a terminal command. It's in a screen thread here somewhere. It would be good to know exactly what screens both the phones have. I noticed when I got my phone it had a brownish, reddish tint and flashing a custom kernel gave me amazing colors.

I know kernels can change the colors but why would it be different if it were a software issue? I know the 311k didn't have to download an update as the 310k's did when you turn on the phone.

Well its only there to protect the screen during transit. Have you compared them without it on? It is possible it causes a slight tint to the screen?
As much as I know, yellow tint is normal with new screens. It goes away after some days of usage.
Firstly 311 just indicates 2013 month 11 (November) production date and 310 was month 10 - its not a build standard despite what many seem to be thinking. If something in production changes one day then you'll need the whole serial number to know if it's before or after a change.
My first was November production (311) and it came pre-loaded with Kit Kat - but it had a serious screen defect (colour banding and distortions) and was replaced by another November (311). I would say the second does have warmer whites but as it all works as designed I'm happy.

Same thing happened to me on my replacement. The first one seemed super white (along with some dead pixels) and the new one has a warmer (yellower) tone to it. At first I thought the same thing, is this a defect. And then I thought either way I like a warmer tone on a screen. The brighter one almost hurt my eyes actually.. Since I've been using the new screen for a while I think it may have brightened up some, but I don't have my defective N5 to compare it to. I guess my point is that I don't think it is defective. I think it is an improvement over the first one. Especially since I don't have any dead pixels and my vibrator motor is stronger too.
Just got mine 3 days ago and has the warmer looking screen. I do prefer the cooler screens like my N4 had but will live with it since there are no dead pixels or other issues people have reported.

Wanted to update this thread...
So I got a replacement for the 2nd phone which had a yellow hue...but then when I got the 3rd phone and compared the screens, the yellow hue on the 2nd phone had gone away and the 3rd had the yellow hue.
So in my conclusion, it takes a few days - a week for the screen to break in.
I got a Nexus 5 and it has light bleeding in the bottom left corner. Really noticeable since the nav buttons are black. I checked my sister's and brother's phone and they both have the same issue. They really don't care about it, but since I'm anal my eyes go straight to it. Coming from an HTC ONE, I feel somewhat spoiled by the amazing screen. So my question is, do they all have this issue? I want to RMA this phone and don't want to receive one with the same issue. I know the phone is cheap and hope the cost cutting measures aren't quality control...

That's a really mature and thought out post. Maybe not everyone is ok with accepting defective products. Considering the fact that the screen is the single most important part of a smartphone, complaining about issues like light bleed is perfectly justified. My phone has zero light bleed but if it had even a tiny bit you can bet your ass it would already have been replaced. When you pay for a product, it should be flawless, and nobody should accept anything less. Ever.
Not mine thank God. I hate the exchanging part.

No not all nexus 5 have the "light bleed"
Just about every LCD ever made has some lightbleed. I've seen some pictures of people who certainly should RMA but just about everyone will have some minor bleeding if you look hard enough and that's not worth returning.
Mine literally looks like this, RMA time I think...

My first N4 had light bleed and the buzzing earpiece speaker. Didnt mind the bleed but buzzing was bad. RMA'd it. Second one didn't have buzzing, but light bleed was a little worst. I learned to live with it.
Ordered the N5 and it has light bleed. Wasn't surprised, so i guess its a nexus thingy. Meh, doesn't bother me anymore.
My LG G2 and GNote 10.1 though has no light bleed at all.

Nope. Its not the digitizer. The digitizer is a clear glass that processes you touches into data that is than put into a map that tells the phone what part of the screen was touched. What you are seeing is either LCD's LCD layer or its backlight. Either way you need a new LCD. The n5 has the digitizer and LCD fuzed to cut down on thickness. So the entire front panel needs to be swapped. 130-150 USD cost. It is however nearly impossible for anything other than a faulty part to cause this. So you should still be able to get it replaces with ease. As for anybody else having this issue. It has plagued LCD screens on phones forever IPS's especially.

Yeah i took it in today and it has been sent away for repair, think it'll get passed to LG from them and hopefully they just replace it, hate the thought of using a phone thats had the front panel replaced lol dunno why.
7-10 days i got told, that's like 7-10 years for me love my nexus.
Went into Phones 4 U and the guy tried to tell me they didn't sell that phone..... well yes you do coz this is where i bought it! haha
Anyway, hopefully it'll be quick and painless.
I'll never in my life get a perfect phone.. ever. out of every android I've had, none have ever been perfect.
either way, how's everyone's screen uniformity? I just realized that my screen is brighter towards the bottom left and much darker as it goes to the top left. so annoying. only really notice it on gray backgrounds ugh but you can kinda even see it on white too. pretty annoying but i really dont know if it's even worth swapping it out, because i know with my crap luck I'll get another one that's even worse.
so how's yours?

damn, thats definitely worse than mine. the bottom of mine is just brighter and the top is darker, which can be a bit annoying. I notice it if I go landscape and pull down the drop down bar if I'm using a theme that has a darker color.. or if the status bar is colored like hangouts, the left side (top) will be a darker green than the right (bottom) which just looks brighter.

Yup...same on my new S7. Green tint on the bottom, pinkish tint on top. Not as pronounced as on my previous S6, but still noticable. Have to use the phone a bit the upcoming days to find out how much it will annoy me, and whether I will return the phone.

hmm. well, gray is the WORST culprit for AMOLED screens to show fault. man, i remember the galaxy s3 days when I worked for verizon..when i was ready to buy mine, i checked each phone before picking the one i wanted because no lie, i saw so many amoled issues with splotchy screens and just lines in the screen that you can see on gray. remember hte days of blotchy ink looking on a black screen too? man, this is kinda reminding me of the S3 days haha nostalgia i guess..
if anyone has a screen with perfect gray uniformity (and without pink / green discoloration), please post.
My got this problem too. I'll send it back to service on Monday, don't want to ignore this issue.
On bright screen it is difficult to see but on lower screen in dark rooms it's an disturbing effect.

notice the pink / darker bottom of the S7E (and i bet the gray test will show that part to be darker too) against the perfect Note 5 screen in this video:

This is a common problem since the Galaxy S2 days, a lot of consumers have accepted this as a norm which leads me to believe that samsung is just slacking on the quality control. Im getting an S7 soon I have high hopes on the screen lottery..

It's not as worse like on the picture but truly uncomfortable

Very weird
An amoled screen should be pitch black, for it does not activate black pixels, i havent see this before, you should go back with your S7.
those are gray images not black.

so here's some anecdotal evidence. went through 3 Edge and 4 regular display models and only 1 regular (gold) variant had perfect grey uniformity and pretty even whites. the rest showed very pronounced gradient effect with the grey background on either top or bottom.
