Pixel 4a Display. - Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers

Is there any way to make my screen more colourful?
Thanks.

You can paint it to any color you like.

Or switch display color to "boosted".

Yeap in switched it but im coming from poco f2 pro and is far away more colourful display than pixel..

Root your phone and flash HolyDragon kernel and you can customize the display to be as 'colorful' as you'd like

Suggest a couple coats of matte black; problem solver.

how's the display?

I'm thinking about switching from the pixel 2xl to this. I saw someone post a grey picture (OLED test) and it was horrible. The uniformity was the worse I've ever seen.
I think it's great. It's better than my old Moto g4 plus and that phone had an impressive screen as well although it was an LCD and not AMOLED. The colors are great and you won't really notice the pixels since it's 1080p and it will give a longer battery as well for that reason.

I just used Dead Pixel Test, and the uniformity is literally perfect with the Silk White edition. All colors were literally perfect.
The screen is great. It looks as good as the one on my S8+ that I just sold. You'll be extremely happy with the screen in the OP6.
I mean look at a solid grey picture and turn your brightness all the way down? Is it still "perfect" ?
Display is avarage.

I just used a website with the pixel test images, lowered the brightness to minimum - it's perfect, there's no change in brightness anywhere on the screen. It's perfectly uniform. Whoever posted that image got a lemon that he needs to exchange.
Are you satisfied?
Love the display coming from my s6 edge.

Looks perfect to me, can you please share the test post
Perfect screen, compared to my wife S9+ which I would give 9.8/10, I will give the OP6 a solid 9.1/10
I used to have pixel 2 xl but oneplus looks better. I didn't like the pixel because of the blue shifting

Just Google grey test OLED and look for a solid grey image. Turn your brightness all the way down and see how uniformed it is
compare to my old nexus6, my new oneplus6 has significantly better Amoled screen, however it's way to narrow compare to nexus6 which missed a lot.
Also, oneplus6 screen is extremely better than my old nexus5 with that lcd garbage.
S9+ perhaps has a bit better screen than oneplus6 but it has retarded and highly inconvenient and highly uncomfortable curve which is huge deal breaker for me.

Do you want the screen to be bad or something? I googled your oled test business and used 2 different grey images from some posts that had uniformity problems from some other phones. There are zero for this screen. It looks perfectly uniform, nothing like the images for those problematic displays. This is a Silk White limited edition version of the phone. Even if there were problems with the screen in the past, they would definitely be gone for my batch of phones.

Calm down. I've seen pics on Reddit that were horrible. Like LCD bleed. I just didn't want to purchase if the display sucks like my pixel 2 XL. The p2xl was so bad
It's okay. Sadly I got used to the note 8 so it looks blah.
I'll have to play with a custom kernel and tweak the display.
Step up from 200 phone. Yes I can see pixels.

I have this problem since day 1. It looks like LCD bleeding but in an unnoticeable way. It has disturbed me while watching movies in a dark room with low brightness. Upper half of the screen seems like its too bright while the lower half seems too dark... But, no one will notice it with average brightness and lighted room..

Get a replacement, your display is defective.
EDIT: I just scrolled through Westworld Season 2 Episode 3 using VLC and adjusting brightness on the way. There were about 4 dark scenes, and I couldn't see any imperfections with my display. The uniformity was perfect.
Maybe some people got some crappy ass lemons when a factory QC worker was drunk. It ain't the case here.
Case closed for this phone.

Screen uniformity

I checked the Mix 3 oled panel with Oled tools on very low brightness. The reaults are very bad.
Did anyone check it?
I've checked it with my mince pies, and the results are excellent.

Yes. I use the night display on Gentle Alarm every night. The nighttime darkness of the OLED screen is one of the reasons I waited for this device, along with no bezels, wireless charging and too much RAM. The only strange thing I've noticed is purple pulsing when Radio FM is on and the screen is off, but I think that's a "feature" since I updated to the weekly eu ROM.

Did you tried it on low brightness in Oled Tools? You have to be in a dark room.
Anyway I sold this phone planning to buy a new one ?
I have a Mi 8 too

Screen green tint?

When I place Poco F2 pro right next to LG G8 the Poco F2 pro is obviously more green. I just used a page of xda to compare. Its much worse when viewed at an angle. When I had LG v30, I had 2 and one of them was green the other had a beautiful accurate screen. So I know this could be a quality control issue. I wonder if it's just my device that has this problem or do you guys have it too? Actually it might be caused by the screen protector too, has anyone taken it off? What do you see?
It must be quality control issue. Both my k20 Pro and K30 pro Zoom edition have beautiful screen. The note 7 Pro is terrible (LCD screen). I also have iPhone SE (2020) it has worse screen.

Do you have a beautiful screen even with a screen protector?
I have it too and it's very very noticeable.

It looks like we are the unlucky ones. I am almost certain it's a quality control issue now, because of the above comment and if you look at some unboxing video on YouTube, you can see the youtubers have the correct display.
Also, the tint is not exactly green but yellowish too. Somewhat in between. But when I look at an angle, it's mostly green

I did a better comparison today with daylight.
I do use glass screenprotector but i dont think it has any negative effect. The screen has noticable color shift (wave like) when you look phone screen from the right. From other sides its OK.
Edit: i compered to my k20 pro and iPhone SE (2020). The k20 Pro has also color shift from the right (same pattern wave like) but way less than my K30 Pro Zoom edition. iPhone SE has maybe little color shift to the blueish-magenta color.
I tested on white background with full brightness on all phones. On straight on view all 3 phones have no green or yellow color wave shift.
Edit2: I did have green tint on K20 Pro when i installed 75 Hz mod in low brightness. Thats why i removed it

I dont know why only from the right. It reminds me IPS panels. IPS panels have also this wave like pattern (but white color-the screen glowes) when viewed from sides (my note 7 pro and my Dell monitor).
Do you see the green tint straight on with white background?

Interesting, thats really bad on yours. How does it look when you switch to original color gamus. I think its software. Also I always use original color gamut, i hate when phones change color based on lightning or time of the day.

In fact when I try to take pictures with my LG g8 to compare to yours. My phone actually shows a more correct color in both cases although in my eyes it's the opposite. That means G8's camera has a bad color shift.
Maybe a stupid question but did you remove the stock screen protector.
I notice the stock screen protector when I want to apply my termpered class version.

No and that's why I asked people if the screen is beautiful even with the protector on. I am afraid taking it off would affect return. Do you see a big difference after taking it off
My brand new F2 Pro is extremely green as well. Compared to my Mi9 it's waaaaaaaaaaay off

Have you taken the protector off?
On my device I do not see green tint but I have black crush which the only way to make it go away is to enable dc dimming and using automatic or saturated mode. Also on light gray colors i see that the screen is not uniform. It is a bit more bright on top and bottom. Mi9t had a lot better screen... Disappointed totally.
I got a Poco F2 Pro piss edition...
Waiting on my second one, hope this will be okay. Else this was my first and last xiaomi device.
Depending on the brightness it is better or worse. But even at 100% it is notable on everything from white to grey. All apps show this Problem.

Screen too warm/too "yellowy"

Am I the only one who has a warm screen for Pixel 4a? I have compared my screen to my Mi 9T Pro and it has better whites compared to my 4a.
Is there a way to adjust the white balance of our screen?
Thanks!

Could be an app that's doing it but without knowing which one you are better off doing a factory reset, its either that or a hardware issue.
I reckon even you contact support they will probably get you to do a factory reset anyways.
You might have a defective screen. Is it like that evenly across whole screen or just part of it? My screen is like that on the right side and strongest on the top right. I contacted Google about it and they're replacing my phone.

Question Too much reflection on camera;

Hi guys... I realised that p7pro have more reflection vs p6pro...
Fotos are almost unusable ...
Is there any chance Google can fix this as Vivo x80 pro does;
Even Samsung has an extra future at Samsung's gallery where you can delete reflections
No reflections here? Night photos with lights in them as well and I don't have any reflections. An issue with your lens?

My man is too too much compare 14 pro max and Vivo x80 pro
So, just looked at photos with an 13 pro and a 14 pro to compare. There were no flares or reflections.
I'd suggest starting with cleaning your lens.

This is one thing I've noticed on the camera, and the only thing I'm disappointed in. Bright lights often result in a purple flare. A few reviews have picked up on it too.
