Display Calibration

Now that we have Snoke Kernel which supports calibrating our displays, post your settings that you like. I prefer a cooler screen so here's my settings which gives a bit more saturation and close to pure white whites.
I used no colorimeter. This is only what appears nice to my eyes.

Since November ota, I've been using different display settings with the new saturated color function. Settings as follows.

What app do you use to calibrate the screen?

Thanks for your recommendation. I'm always looking for something that can adjust the whitebalance of my Pixel 2. The screen look a little cold in my daily lighting ambiance, but it seems that you think yours is a little too warm.

Yes, my screen was to warm for my liking in stock form.

Really late to responding. But I just used your settings. The screen looks so much better than the stock settings. The screen was the only issue I had with the phone coming from a 6p. I still have to adjust to having a smaller screen since I didn't get the xl.

Those settings seem to look best on my device. Pure whites and colors pop without looking too overly saturated.

Has anyone calibrated the screen with a colorimeter?

it does not matter , i've had 3-4 pixel 2 on hands at the same time and they all have slightly different screen temp/colors. you should do it on your own compared to a calibrated monitor.

Extra calibration option for washed out colors?

Hi guys,
I just have a quick question about if there is any extra calibration options for the colors on the display?
I was comparing my OP6 with my S9+ and with another OP6 and colors seems a little washed out in mine, for example is very noticeable on the quick settings panel or on gray apps such as Netflix or spotify, on my friend's OP6 seems like a very dark gray almost black while on mine seems almost like a gray on an LCD screen, also other colors such as blue or red look more vivid on his, I have attached a few pictures for comparison, the pictures were taken using the "default" mode in screen calibration settings and with the same level of brightness on both.
My questions is if there is any other more advanced calibration settings to make colors more vivid and darker blacks on my display? Even if they look oversaturated and "not real" like in samsung devices that is what I'm looking for.
Thanks!

I'm having trouble uploading the rest of the pictures but I uploaded then to Dropbox on full resolution here:

i had s9+ plus before my op6 had 3 devices whites were pink just like the s8 wasnt just my eyes as others noticed might just be the angle as your whites look a tad pinkish from my eyes and your friends greenish lol

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.

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.

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

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.
