Galaxy S8+ Display Color Issues - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hey!
Since some days, I have noticed that the color of my Galaxy S8+'s display are getting weird.
I'm using a Galaxy S9 wallpaper, the blue one with the squares detail. In the areas with the color shading, the color looks burned. I don't really know how to explain it, but it looks like 6 bit images, something like this:
Code:

I tried other wallpapers, and it is still the same. With bright wallpaper I don't notice the problem, but with darker ones I see that the colors get burned. With the darker wallpaper, if I boost up the display brightness, the problem almost disappear.
I don't know what's the problem, I own the phone since the day one, and never had any issues. All was fine until Saturday I think. I also tried a reset, but nothing.
Could be maybe an update problem? Maybe Samsung UI has a bugged update? Anyone else is having this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Screen color issues?

My cousin just got the Razr M, and I noticed that his colors looked much better, and more deep, and they are almost the same phone. Does anyone else see a difference? I notice in CM10 the colors don't look right either, they look lighter.
I have another issue with my screen, I don't know if it's a problem common to all photon Q screen: it seems that screen can't make some colors and mix some lines of a lighter color with some lines of darker color.. the result is orrible..

Do you also have similar problems or it's another problem?

Grey lines on display

Noticing a kind of very lite shade of greys in white screens irrespective of the brightness. No problem with any other colors. Can’t capture it in a snap. So tried my best to represent it in the image(attached). You can download the image and zoom-in and shake the image in the marked area to clearly see what I’m talking about. Anybody else having this issue? Is it huge issue as I will be working with photographs in the phone?
Just bought the device yesterday. Would be nice if someone can tell me how to convey this to the retailer without making him think that I’m crazy for a replacement. :laugh:
Unlocked model S7(flat)
I have found that all modern high density AMOLED screens have this to some extent. I bought 7 Galaxy S6s and none were perfect, with some better than others. 99% of people won't notice it. And even if you're someone who can notice it, sometimes it takes a couple weeks of owning the phone before you see it, and then once you see it, it's hard to unsee it. It's especially noticeable if you're scrolling and move your eyes up and down the screen with the content as it moves.

I saw it in the first day itself. Expected value for the price paid is not delivered means. It's cheating
Its very common on AMOLED devices unfortunately and my guess is that the vast majority of users cannot see it so lower # of units returned to samsung and they probably will blame it on QA. If a lot of consumers would start to notice it and demand for close to perfect panels then samsung will probably up their AMOLED game.
we bought 3 sgs7 phones all of them have this issue...how can such a company like Samsung do this ...like i cant see that LOL my vission on close distances is verry verry good so thats whay i saw those gray lines in a minute after buying one.i went to see my brothers gs7 after that and of course his one was the same and then after one week my father bought one white version so i thought that the 3rd one has to be a good one but NOPE it was the same story again...im very pissed so i will go to Samsung and tell them about it and will see what will they say...just to let u know guys i had similar problem on xperia z5 but instead of grey lines i had white ones and also some white spots and i send it to waranty and told them about the display issue and they have replaced the screen and now its perfect...so im goin to do that on Samsung aswell. good luck ppl
just to let u know guys i went Samsung and they replaced the screen but those gray lines are visible again so they sad that they cannot fix it and change screen everytime.... it looks like that alot of led panels are baddly constructed in the factory so i decided to return the phone.
I am on my 3rd galaxy S7. The 1st had the SD card connecting and disconnecting. The 2nd one the USB port would no longer transfer data(learned because VR stopped working) I am worried about the build quality of this phone....

I have exactly this same issue and it's driving me nuts! I cannot return my phone now, but it's very noticeable for me those grey lines when some other people I tried to show it couldn't see it...I hate AMOLED displays, I have never had a phone with an AMOLED display which was perfect, all of them always had some issue at some point. From Motorola, other Samsung, Huawei, all of them had some sort of issue with the display.[emoji35]

Replaced once, too. Mine was not a perfect line, like gray dust splattered along a line. Especially visible with grayish flat images, there were clear fluctuations on shade of "gray". Second device is almost perfect. If you look with magnifying glass , there were some pinkish littttle dusty dots on white, but it is really hard to see with naked eye. So happy with second now.
This issue is present because AMOLED screens don't use backlight. Every pixel is emitting light, and my guess is that they aren't distributing the same amount of brightness on every area of the screen.
It's noticable, but as some said to a very small amount of people, and it isn't that much of an issue if u ask me. Bigger issue is that amoled screens burn in over time. I could see my keyboard on white background on my S5 after a year and a half of use. Thank god that s7 has themes so I can change keyboard layouts.
Everything comes with a price... LCD's have their flaws, and so do AMOLED's.
Good news, its just a software bug on Android M, just reflash it to Android N and it will be fixed.

Not here, I'm running the latest beta on my s7 and the grey lines are still there, it's a problem with the display itself.

My experience.
Hi all,
I have an unlocked, rooted, Nougat ROM S7 Edge and I have been experiencing the same issue for 3 months.
The only way for me to fixed it is to flash Superman ROM, then the lines disappear. Any other ROM (Elyos, S8 ports, ...): I have the grey lines. A kernel issue?
Cheers.
P.S.: Flicker free kernel used to work with Superman ROM but if I flash it after any other ROM, my phone gets stuck in boot.

Gear S2 color/display slightly more grainy/yellow after new update

Just updated my gear s2 classic (sm-r732) with new update (EPK5).
Immediately on rebooting, I realized the color had slightly changed. Scheme is the same but all the colors look a little more washed out, grainy, yellowish, as if the color temperature has been made slightly warmer or the display was suddenly defective.
The color was actually like the color on the t-mobile 3G gear s2 classic(SM-R735T) I returned because it was thicker, heavier and wider but also cause I dislike the grainer color.
I tried factory reset and hard reset just to make sure, but after the update, it feels like the color change is permanent.
Anyone else noticing the same? Anyone else also disliking the changed color tone?

Yellowish Display?

Hello guys!
Today, after comparing two galaxy s8 plus I noticed that my display, looks a little bit yellow than white. Just the white color, it's not so white... Not sure how to explain it. On the other galaxy, the white is white, like have to, mine look a little bit "yellowish". On both device display settings are not touched. Do you think I should take it to service? Or is just software issue?

Did you accidently turn in blue filter? There's a toggle for it and I've seen people hit it by mistake.

I didn't touch anything. I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTQr6VwMfBI on youtube. So basically Samsung cant make the same color screen on every device? But how can I fix this? Maybe if move the red option in display settings?
Do you think if the white is not white, this means the rest colors are not shown properly also?

To me it seems like if you had inverted the colors, you could try looking in the accessibility settings for the visibility enhancements
the color is like film negatives that u havent developed but with too high white balance. i tried everything but it was solved when i did factory reset. wonder if it will come back again
