So had my N5 a few days now and it's amazing - loving it (except the speakerphone but that's another story). Previously had the N4 and had all sorts of issues with uneven screen etc (went through 8 units to get a decent one) but the N5 seems to have very good backlight uniformity and colour uniformity and I'm really impressed overall. Keeping the first one which is unusual for me.
Thing is.... it's very noticeably "warmer" than my N4. This isn't necessarily a "problem" but I'm wondering how others are finding the colour temperature or whites on the N5 compared to your previous phones. Also - I used Franco's kernel on the N4 to tweak the colour settings on that and there's a test version for the N5 I flashed but the colour tweak stuff isn't there yet as it's a test version. Is there any other way to adjust the colour temp on the N5 yet - or is it too early for that?
Try screen adjuster on the play store.

hey guys... ive bought a dual sim version of the xperia z5 about 5 days ago. upon the boot screen, the display was cool as it should be... but when the initial startup was completed and the brightness of the display lowered,i noticed that the screen had an extremely noticeable yellow color
i changed the white balance of the green and blue by 130 and 187 approx respectively so that i could get a relative white display at low brightness
being a previous owner of a z1 which had a yellow hue at edges i knew that my z5 display had a problem
i also had a z3 with no display issues which retained a 'white' color when brightness was reduced
as i cant take a picture of my screen atm i searched for pics of nexus 5x with this issue 'http://i.imgur.com/MPG4kTc.jpg' on the left is a 5x and right a z3. my display colour is even warmer than the 5x in this pic
if any of you guys had a jailbroken ios device with flux, the color of my display is near the warmest choice available
as a small resume, my z5 display becomes more yellowish as he brightness is reduced
do any of you guys have experienced this problem??? and should i seek for another unit ?
Replace the phone for sure.
Sony use different screen for each unit as always,that's why they included the white balance menu cause they know how crap is the screen they use.
Everyday i have to tweak the white balance cause of colors change.

going to seek for a replacement on monday...
Do any of you know how to check which panel is used on my z5 so we can maybe identify panels which are at risk thanks
will update on the status..
Theres a picture below comparing screen of my z3+ to xz. I notice a bit yellowish screen of xperia xz.
my display is white like it should be i think...u probably have screen issues and should ask sony whats going on and maybe they will replace the screen.i would take it to waranty.
i compared my XZ display against z5 and i can say that it is more brighter and it has more white-ish tone on the display...z3+ simply CAN'T have BETTER display then newer flagship phones(specaily the XZ)...its not an upgrade then LOL...i would try some restoring and repairing before sending it to waranty just for curosity... but i doubt it would help...just want to let u know my xperience and hope it helped u somehow. Cheers
I do know that my XZ color temperature isn't as cold/blue as my Z3 (D6616) was. I don't have any tools to test, but I believe my XZ is closer to the "proper" 6500K color temp, while my Z3 was like 9000K.
I could be wrong since I can't see yours in person, but could it be possible that your Z3+ has a very cold blue tint that you got used to, and it makes your XZ look yellow? I have a feeling that camera you used to take that picture adjusted its white balance to your Z3+.
I'm trying to take a picture of my Z3 next to my XZ to show an example, but my LG G6 camera can't seem to show what I mean. I did have this issue when I switched from a Nexus 4 to a Nexus 5. I got so used to the Nexus 4's cold blue tint, that I thought my Nexus 5 was yellow and defective. But after I got used to the color temperature of the Nexus 5, I couldn't believe how blue the Nexus 4 was. I've been a tint snob, display whore, and obsessed with white balance ever since.
Here's a picture of my Nexus 4 and 5 side by side. Even though the 5 has the correct white balance, it looks yellow because the camera adjusted the white balance to the 4.
Or maybe the screen on your XZ is in fact defective. I would take it to a mobile store and compare it to iPhones and maybe HTC devices, as these seem to have better white balance than most devices in my opinion.
The XZ does lean a bit more to the warmer color temperature than previous models, specially my Z3 and M4 Aqua, those have a very strong blue tint and I had to increase red and green in settings to compensate.
Can't you adjust the white balance in the display settings?
I have red and green on 0 and blue on 40. It seems to give the best result of white, compared to my PC monitor (IPS). If you go to 50 on blue, it starts getting a blue tint a bit.
If your screen is so yellow you can't even adjust it, then it's defective. Take it to the store and compare.
Keep in mind though, even with IPS, there can be some slight variations from unit to unit in color tint, but not much. It's more common with AMOLED.
Also it's difficult to tell for us via photos, because any camera will compensate at least a bit for the white balance and brightness.
Either way, your eye will get used to it if the screen is not actually defective, and a recommendation would always be to have the balance set leaning more to yellow than blue tint, it's much less straining to your eyes, and after a while it won't look "yellow" any more.
I experienced that when I got the new monitor, it appeared a bit yellow to me, but then my friend (video editor) tested it with one of those devices that tests color accuracy , contrast and white balance and saw that it was almost perfect, and my previous monitor had heavy blue tint that I got used to, which is bad.
I'd go to a store and compare it to one of the units there.

Judging by this photo, it seems to me that you have night mode enabled.
Is it yellow during that white xperia bootanimation as well?
Edit:
Sorry, just now i've read the full text of your post xD
If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the Xiaomi Mi 9's display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Color saturation and contrast is terrible, it is as if the screen is a knockoff. Can not get accurate warm colors like the mi 8 or the 1+ 6t that compare side by side. The display colors are horrible. Is there something I'm missing ?
Anyone ?
Miui default display setting always have bad color saturation, no matter the phone has ips or amoled panel. I always change the contrast setting to increased contrast. Now My Mi 9 display almost look like Samsung's one.
The greens are dull and faded, reds are too dark.
Can not get the right colors !
is there any display calibration app that can change all this ?
thanks
Same here with my GFs Mi 9. She started crying when she compared with my oneplus 6t... Am really curious if there is any fix to the really terrible display calibration.
It works fine... Just make sure you set the "contrast" to "standard" (strange name for color profiles. But whatever, it works)
The colors seem pretty natural to me when using that profile. But what I didn't like, is that when playing back an HDR video, the auto-brightness can still dim down the screen... This isn't supposed to happen, or at the very least there should be an option to turn that off.
Also interesting, is that given enough ambient light, YouTube HDR playback will in fact boost the brightness to max (but it won't on a pitch black environment) But if you are playing an HDR video from another source, the brightness won't be boosted at all, and you will have to do it manually.
And while I'm on the topic of HDR video, there doesn't appear to be any tone mapping going on, so some highlights will be blown. But it does seem to properly track the HDR EOTF until that point, and the color gamut does appear to be wider than when viewing SDR content.
So to summarize, this is a great display, and I think Xiaomi did include color profiles, but there's more work to be done... I'm hoping this HDR brightness issue can be addressed on a custom ROM, and hopefully an option to add tone mapping.
Given that GSMArena measured the display's colors to be really accurate any claims of "x" or "y" to be too "dull" or "faded" is just baseless. It's most likely you're accustomed to displays actually being wrong and want to reproduce that.
Do you set : raise contrast mode, or dynamic contrast ?
For me, colors are more saturated in increased contrast mode, it's quite beautiful and flashy, but maybe exagerated saturation
Dynamic contrast with warm colors looks fine, quite less satutared
Your thoughts ?

100% agree with you.
I use automatic and warm. Very nice colours
My Mi 9 has a really nice display. I'm very happy with its color reproduction and vibrancy. I come from a OnePlus 5.
Yeah, people complaining here came from very unbalanced screens and when they meet a really good one, think it is trash. Sigh.
On Mi 9 Lite best choise: Automatic is the most optimal for me
By my side I have a defective display that has too hot colors, wite are yellowish I had :
- Red : 62 %
- Green : 62 %
- Blue : 100 %
And with these seetings wites are just wite, you can imagine how yellowish it is...
Color saturation and accuracy
I find the screen to be fine indoor and outdoor
Just moved to Pixel 4a from an LCD display and I notice that the screen is a bit warm. Do others notice the same thing?

Yep. There are some options in settings related to the display (settings/display/colours where you can choose natural, boosted or adaptive which make very little difference, and in accessibility there's a promising looking rainbow under colour correction but sadly there are just a few colour-blind related presets) but nothing which would let you set the white balance manually.

Yep - which I appreciate. Obviously personal preference; native tuning options appear limited based on a bit of early experimentation.
On a related note, integrated "night light" (blue light filter) does a poor job with dark themes; throws off weird casts on light text when scrolling. I find it too distracting to use; just lower the brightness a tad more or use a 3rd party tool.
Looks good to me, where I can tell is looking at skin tones I find them very natural.
Got a picture of a beach water deep blue, sky look natural blue.
Taste maybe but it like it the way it is.
The setting mentioned my screen is on Adaptive, changing it does no effect much ??
Yes the screen is slightly yellowish and can't be changed even with the available presets. Fortunately I don't mind it personally since I prefer warmer whites compared to cold tones.
Yes, quite annoyed in warmth difference in the beginning because I was still using both 4a and my old phone actively. Searched here n there to make it cooler and also tried to make my old phone screen bit warmer to match (cause I just hate the difference not the warmer screen), but I don't like it even further with the tuning
All I can say is give it time, you'll slowly adapt to the new warmer screen
Yes I was just using a Moto One Active for a few weeks, which has a surprisingly decent LCD screen with perfect whites, and now that I'm back to using a Pixel 4a again I'm noticing that yellowish tint. Also had the galaxy s20 FE somewhere in between , which was obviously superior to both lol.
