Yellow tinge in display

Hello friends,
Today only i have received my Tab2 7.0 and i am finding some yellowish tinge in display especially in White areas. Anyone else faced this problem ?
Thanks
remove the plastic screen protector, make sure it's not dead pixel (mostly dust inside the plastic screen protector)
if it's dead pixel then you should claim RMA warranty to samsung service center
Oh.....can this Plastic Screen Protector has so much effect
No as yet haven't noticed any dead pixels. Warranty i think is void because of flash counter

dead pixel doesn't means it's muse be black color, (if it's black without emitting light/RGB-color, then it's probably just a dust)
I've dead pixel in my laptop and the color is Reddish-Blue when displaying white scene on monitor.
The pixel contain 3 color (Red, Green, Blue), so in my case should be the Green-subpixel is died.
In your case (Yellowish tinge), probably because the Blue-subpixel is dead.
because Yellow color is produced by combining Red & Green color only (without Blue)
White color is produced by combining Red-Green-Blue subpixel all together, so you must test your screen under white scene (eg: in browser, white text editor, or program can detect dead pixel on the android market)
Oh man ! You got some in-depth knowledge about the subject.
Can you plz tell name of that app ?
Thanks once again !
I also have this yellowish tint display issue on my new tab 2 7.0. Most noticeable in white backgrounds, such as Settings or in Play store, or in the web browser. It's pretty yellowish. And overall the display looks washed out. I thought this is a PLS display..? Same as original galaxy tab 10.1? My original Gtab 10.1 has a much vibrant colors, and this one is really washed out and again, the yellowish tint on white backgrounds.
Is this normal? Is this not a PLS display? Do I have a defective device? Should I exchange it for another one (I prefer not to if it's definitely normal, but will def do if this is not normal).
Thanks for your help!
Could someone please answer to my post?
Anybody who has the tab 2 7.0 must have answer to my question if they also have yellowish tint or not..more technical answer would be also helpful.
Thanks.
Anyone???
I'm debating on exchanging it or not as I'm going to the place I bought it tomorrow. I already have everything set up on this device, so want to know if is is actually defective screen.
Some reviews say that the screen is vibrant, while some others say that it is washed out or yellowish. One review says they hear people complaining that the screen has yellow hue, but they don't have it on their device. I don't know who's right..I did search on this forum, and saw other people complaining too, but not much replies in any of the threads and one person said it must be the screen protector, but I don't have any screen protector on.....
Any help would be appreciated.

If you don't like it, return it. Or, at least you could look at another unit at the store and see if it's consistent.

[POLL] Black, white or pink .. Vote (comparison video inside)

There is a similar thread already, but the OP over there can't add a poll
Here is a poll , just for fun and the curiosity
Here you got a small video comparison till this beast hit the showrooms:
.
That video is what sold me on black. The horizontal bands don't appear to be as prominent as the grey was on the Note 2.
But you didn't vote :laugh:

Yeah, I was going to get the white one until I seen that same video. The phone looks like color with the screen off, which I like.
I just think it's a shame, they didn't start with blue or red instead of that pink..
Perhaps they know better .... nah .......

It's only 12 votes so far, but I think the preference is already clear..
Can't imagine any other color catching up ....
.
I wish there was a grayish/silver color with a dark gray bezel, just like on my Titanium Note 2
But Jet Black will do ....
.
.
i went with the Jet Black as well...
Not a big fan of white phones, remind me of iphones and give apple fanboys another reason to say samsung copies apple. I wish samsung would do away with the white and do a nice slate/gray instead. Heck they got pink so why not....
My note 2 is white and i love it so note 3 also will be on white...
I had a white Note 2 and currently own a white S4 and white Galaxy Camera. I think they look really great but I fancy a change now and black looks better with the leather effect. I also think you get better screen contrast with the a black bezel.
I'm getting a black one.
Reason: It's black
I see that 5 ladies voted...
Just joking :laugh:
.
Black for me. After seeing that video, I just think it looks better in black than in whit or pink.
The Galaxy Gear is Mocha Gray...
Since I am not in hurry of buying the Note3 ( eventually I will), I hope that till then there will be a Gray kinda of Titanium colored Note3 too ...
.
Black or darker bezels are way cooler
The back cover usually gets a case anyways
Does the black actually help to set the screen apart from the bezel as the video stated?
I'm really divided between black and white, and I'm trying to find a good reason to choose one over the other.

Black creates a better contrast against all the bright colors (this is why the display on white phones pop more when the screen is OFF). It makes the display pop more. The "black" however is not really a black. It's a darker grey-scale color than the titanium note 2, with the same horizontal striping but not as prominent. No doubt it will make the display pop more than white though. In light, the white is conceptually brighter than the display.

Uneven backlight/ colour tone shifting on bottom half of the screen

Just purchased a brand new Galaxy S6 32GB FLAT in white today. Right out of the box, especially on a white background, I noticed that the bottom half of the screen shifts into a more warmer tone. It's most visible on a white background, where i can actually see the transition between the two colour tones. Other colours are affected too, but not as noticeable. Please refer to the attached screenshots, (Ignore the diagonal lines running across the screen, caused by the camera artefact).
My question is, is it normal? Can you please check yours and provide feedback? Thanks in advance
I have the same
Its a common issue. But it shouldnt be like that. You should get a replacement

Dude this isnt severe. Ive seen enough amoled displays having worse tints and stripes. Yours is much better than them. If I was you, I wouldnt settle for this. Replace it or get a refund. I have severe ocd about my phone. I need it to be perfect. Luckily the S6 that I have has a very good display. A perfect one. Get a replacement asap. This isnt something normal.
Im ordering my 2nd replacemeny soon. My first one was yellowish and uneven like yours. My current one has a horrible pink tint. Try 3
Welcome to the club: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/getting-replacement-s6-due-to-screen-t3074865
I took my phone back to the Samsung store and got it replaced by the manager there. The screen looked fine when i first looked at it in store, but soon after taking it home i realised that this second unit has a yellowish tint on the right side of the screen. Going back tomorrow for another replacement.... SIGH!!!!!
My third replacement from the Samsung Exp Store is.... a KEEPER! This unit has a much better even backlight and meets my expectation! After going through that trouble, i'm happy to say that I'm a a happy camper

Looks all right to me, but then again we all perceive things differently. My current unit is not perfect, there's still a green/blue tint to it, but it's tolerable. If you cannot tolerate it, then keep exchanging until you find one that you can tolerate with. Keep in mind though that you won't find a unit with 100% even colour hue; it's the limitation with AMOLED displays. All the best!
I have the same issue
I have the same, but much less severe than yours seem to be. I don't notice it at all with normal use, only super slightly on bright white screens. If it really looks like it does on the photo, I would get it replaced.

Light bars on black wallpaper
I have the following issue on black wallpapers.On top and bottom there is a lighter bar.This appears only after applying the wallpaper.Viewing them with Quickpick there are no bars.Same in Nova and TW after applying it.Tried attaching a screen but the bars are not captured.What could it be,a ROM issue,a low DPI?I have the DPI set to low.Also on brighter pics you can't see the bars ,after applying which makes sense.
White uniformity - Is this the jelly effect and is it normal?
I got a really good deal on a used Tab S6 from Amazon and I love the tablet but there is weird tinting thing happening on white screens.
When viewed slightly off-axis the tint goes blue.
Makes me nuts when reading NY TImes and edges of white screen are tinted blue.
The effect changes when viewed at different angles and seen without screen protector. It is tough to photograph but hopefully you can see what I see.
Ignore the moire in the middle of the first shot - that's a screen protector... Look at extreme edges of screen.
Thanks and pardon me if this has been answered before - I've searched and couldn't find this issue.

Pink tint on screen?

Does anyone have a pink tint to part of the screen? I know the Galaxy s6 had a bad problem with this. I'm hoping it's been solved in this generation.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/getting-replacement-s6-due-to-screen-t3074865
No pink tint on my S7, but the screen is not uniform. Bottom right corner is what it's supposed to be, with white background, but the upperpart has a yellowish tint to it.
Going crazy with these AMOLED screens, because last time I tried to buy a S3, I had to cancel my purchase after 3 units. They all had the same problem and I really tought, that Samsung could produce good screens after so many years, and because this isn't that much different with S6's screen
My Verizon S7 just starting displaying this problem. Bringing it back to Best Buy ASAP today.

My flat S7 has a bad screen too : Pink / Green color shift from top to bottom...
I already had this problem with 3 different S6 so I'm really disappointed the issue is still present with the S7. Got a RMA but it may takes 3 weeks for a replacement thanks to the ****ty consumer service in my country .
Here is a shot of the problem (the 2 shots are the same I have just augmented contrast on the second one to clearly see the problem).

I'm quoting myself from another thread. Still an issue... I'm waiting for a replacement model right now and I hope the screen will be good.
Yep, I've got this issue. Pink tint at the bottom of the screen. The only negative of an otherwise faultless phone. I kind of wish it had an IPS LCD, seems these AMOLED screens are very inconsistent with colour. At the moment it's not TOO bad but I'd prefer a uniform display. Didn't have this issue with the S6.

i have to exchange my amoled phones ALWAYS a few times (ordered my 5th S7 Edge today)!
i wrote a few threads regarding this, i also sent a message to displaymate (because they test "cherry-picked" devices, and do not mention this), see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/note4-amoled-screen-quality-t2906365
1st: display not good compared to second device
2nd: the device i use now. very good viewing angles and no tint, BUT: left side of display is darker then right side
3rd: display strong yellow tint
4th: display almost good, slight yellow tint. would take this, BUT: front cam takes blurry pictures compared to other devices...
5th: ordered today!
you may think i'm a hypocrite or have OCD, but it makes me mad that a 800EUR device has such flaws!!!

I absolutely agree with you guys. We are paying a significant amount of money and we expect it to be perfect.
Kudos for keep trying @TML1504. Hope you get a perfect one this time.
Are you buying this from a local store or a online seller? Because all local stores in my country will ask too much question if I approach them for replacement since it's a silly issue related to display, software, speaker, camera. Mostly likely it will end up in a pointless argument from their side and they consider the issue under warranty only. Speaking based on my earlier experiences.
Are the screen tint issues happening straight out of the box or do they develop over time?
Are you guys noticing it when the display it tilted or even in straight position?
I got a replacement unit yesterday, but had to wait almost 4 weeks for it. Didn't get a DOA replacement at the store, because the store manager didn't see the yellow tint. This new unit has slight pink tint on the top part of the screen. Gonna wait till thursday and decide if I'm gonna change this one. Probably not, because with my luck I have to change phones too many times, and the store manager doesn't want/or can't see the problem.
Maybe I'm gonna forget and get used to this screen, because it's little bit better than the first unit. Driving me crazy that Im so sensitive to this kind of things

Same issue here. Been speaking to Samsung's UK arm on Twitter and they say to take it into my local store (even though it was bought elsewhere). My worry is that I'll make the trip and be told there's nothing wrong.

galaxy s7 screen problem
same here i preordered a galaxy s7 and after 1 week of use i started noticing some color shiftiing when i'm in a dark room the auto brightnes turns the light down
and i start noticing ( especiallly in grey, grey dark and green dark cloros ) that the left side is brighter than the right side .
it's like a wave of light from the bottom left to the upper left of the screen this is really annoying when using a grey theme for example .
i compared to a galaxy note5 and s6 and they also have the same problem but in different parts of the screen.
i can't return it cuz the people in samsung want notice the problem. and they will tell me there's nathing wrong with it so i'll keep it until next year.
and by th way i had the same problem but it was pink on the right side whit my s6 last year and i changed the display twice under waranty, the third try i've got a farely good display.
maybe the next year i'll buy an iphone.
