Hi all, the aim of this thread is to know how widespread the "RED SCREEN/TINT" issue is India & whether the software update fixes it.
The software update doesn't fix it right off the bat. You get additional control over how you want to tune the RGB and edges of the screen. You need to find the right balance which works for you.
My S8+ doesn't have a red tint over the whole screen but it had slight tint over the edges. However, by tuning my edges, I was able to remove it.
You need to slide the RGB bars to find what works best for you.
I know this is kinda murky solution when we are paying top bucks for a flagship but the nature of this huge screen is such that it is susceptible to some degree of tints when looking at different angles.
IMO, the pros outweigh the cons. If you're still not happy with the display, you can return it and get a new one. But be prepared to face the same issue again!

Lucky you. I had some red tint on both the edges but the new slider after the update fixed it!
In my case, there is a slight tint over the edges and on the screen when viewed at different angles. I have filed a replacement and ill get it by monday.

This is what worked for me.
Post downloading the OTA for the red tint issue, i moved the RED slider to 50% and for Screen Edge Colour Balance, i turned the slider all the way to the extreme right where it says Cool.
That pretty much fixed the red tint issue for me across the edges. I didn't have a red tint except on the edges to begin with. Even with the Blue Light Filter set to ON, i no longer have a red tint issue along the edges.

Mine is also having same issue
Just bought mine yesterday, had tint over edges after adjusting it fixed it,but there is still red hue when i tilt the phone to certain angle ! Is is normal guys or should i get the replacement ? I worried that i might end up getting worse device with tint all over the phone screen.
Also tell me does your screen looks dull with Basic and other two AMOLED setting ? Mine looks best with Adaptive only!

Has anyone noticed/experienced a yellowish tint on their g2x? It is very noticeable on my phone whenever there is any kind of white background, and it is only in the bottom left corner area. Im on my second g2x and everything else is great, but this is starting to bug me. Is this something that can be fixed?

If it is screen bleed, it's not the "typical" screen bleed that lots of people experience to different degrees. I do have minimal bleed in the upper corners, but this is different. Unlike regular bleed, It's noticable on bright-colored screens (like white). For example, if I am reading text on white background, the bottom left corner looks yellowish - almost like it's dirty.
I noticed this, too. My screen is more yellow than my wife's g2x, but hers has some screen bleed. I honestly like the slight yellow tint. Much easier on the eyes, and colors on this phone look more natural.

Here is a video of the yellow tint problem I uploaded 2 days after I purchased it. Since then, I've had 3 replacements, each one fixed one issue but magnified another. Out of all of the issues the device has, this is the only one i can tolerate.

My fourth one had the worst screen bleed and this tint issue. It was very obvious. Because the bleed bleed was the worst on that one I assumed the tint was because of that.
me too

the 2nd one i had had horrible bleed and the tint i always thought it was due to the bleeding.
Hi Everyone,
I recently bought a Oneplus one and am a bit disappointed with the display. Besides having the yellow part at the bottom, when I look a little at it at an angle I see the screen tint to whitish almost blue and this effect increases as my eyes level to the surface, this is best seen by looking from the right corner of the screen with a black background. Is this normal? I only need my head to be slightly away from the screen to notice it. Also I notice light bleed from the top.
Let me know if this is just an effect of the LCD display and if its normal. I've used amoled displays before this.
Regards,
Bobbie

I don't have this issue on mine. Honestly though, why is it such an issue? The scenario you're describing would just never happen in the normal use of the phone, nobody looks at their phone on such an angle when using it.

Hi Heisenberg,
Thanks for the quick reply. I do notice it during normal use otherwise it wouldn't be a problem. The phone is on the left side of my computer now and as i'm looking at it I notice the whitish blue tint while using a black background.

Fair enough. Dunno what to say though, I have two of these and neither of them have a tint when viewed on any angles. I initially thought my screen protector might be why but that can't be the case because one of them doesn't have a protector on it.

Mine does have a screen protector on it that was already on it when I received it, could it cause some kind of tinting? I only see it from an angle not if i just look down from the top to the bottom of the phone, then it looks perfect.

It's possible. Those films that come already on the phone aren't actually screen protectors as such, well they're not meant to be used for an extended period of time anyway, they're really just to give light protection during the shipping process. I'd recommend you remove that one and get yourself a good tempered glass protector. The Nillkin 9H is exceptional and it's quite cheap too (less than $10).
I wanted to wait a couple of days before calling it official, but it seems like my screen is suffering from color bleed. If you look at the attached image, you'll easily notice the bleed into the screen from the top edge. I'll be returning it tomorrow and getting a replacement hopefully by end of week. I basically lost out on the cost of the tempered screen protector that I have on the phone. Bummer.
I've had four Z-line phones in the past but never a single issue. I guess there is always first time.
I have the same issue, bleed from the top. Mostly visible on a blue or white background though. Is this a defect or does everyone else experience it as well?
Not refuting but I do not have this issue.

I have turned red off in colour balance, I have tried a different display formats and can't get rid of it. what's worse, is that at the endge of the screen it's a red GRADIENT so even if I get it close to white, it will never be even

Is this while viewing straight on or at angle?
This is crap. Samsung will ever get their screens right?
Pics please
Mine has a very slight red/pink tint on the right hand edge as you look at it straight on. Goes away when you tint it to an angle. Something obviously isn't as it should be but it's almost like the curved edge is causing it. My S6 Edge had nothing like it though.

agreed, a couple of others on another forum I post on have the same issue, looking straight on doesn't help because of that graident around the phone.
Anyone else got green tint on their display? Doesn't bother me when not using dark mode but it's annoying. Is it hardware problem or can it be fixed with a future update?

are you sure it isnt some sort of reflection from the pre-applied glass protector the phone comes with?

Could well be. I'll order some different screen protector and check it out after I've removed this one

Mine got the gradually increasing green-tint from top to bottom on some dark grey background, but it turns out that the tint is miui 12 dark-mode itself. Its the default color-gradient i think. On image or games it did not happen, and im sure it is intended to be that way.
Are yours had green-tint all over the display? If so, you can always try to reduce the green color in advanced color settings. Or else just claim replacement on warranty i guess.

I did wonder if it were the default colour gradient. I can only see it on dark grey backgrounds, for example XDA labs shows it. I have it horizontally across the top (1cm below status bar?)
One plus more has same problem I guess.
I don't know exactly but last day I faced 3 problem but tinting..might be my mistake by I saw a greenish tint slightly..
I've still got the screen protector which is came from factory... guess I'll have to change it too..
No green tint here. It was the first thing I check when I get the phone.
Same here. green tint on low brightness and dark colors. It's annoying AF

I dont see it on XDA Labs, but I do encounter it randomly, especially when brightness gets lower. Weird, but doesnt really bother me since I've ran lot of display tester app from play store and I cant spot any fault on mine. Thats how i draw my conclusion that it could be just the UI feature/bug.
