My display had purple tint and I changed the phone today and got a new one. Its better now and significany less pink color.
Also I now discovered something that the pink tint is only visible when u look at the screen 90 degrees. If u tilt the phone a little (5-10 degrees) to left-right or up-down and view like that the color turns normal (like my year old sgs).
It made me realise that this is a screen coating issue (maybe coating causes polarisation). So do u think this will go away with the time of use?
When I turn off the screen and check it under light by tilting I can see a little purple glare.
What do u think?
Do you have this on your phones?
My sgs, when the screen is off if you look the screen under light has a bluish color/glare.
However sgs2 when I look under light,screen turned off has a purple glare.

he didn't need to taken it off
mine was without screen protector and there was purple glare on screen
now I'm really happy because it's not just me who has this purple glare on screen
this does not matter I like this phone
I find the problem when it is directly under bright light only...even when bright sunlight, it doesn't give me the glare...so it is not really a problem, I don't have a bright light in my room lol
Purple glare is not a problem but it causes phone to display purplish whites and greys when the screen brightness at low. At night, If I look 90 degrees to phone whites are creamy greys have a pink hue however when I view the screen from a little different angle (if i tilt like 5 degrees) whites are cool and greys are perfect.
Well maybe my sgs has a blue tint and cool colors that's why I feel a huge difference. Cuz when I compared my iPod touch 2nd Gen. IPod's color is more pinkish tthan my sgs2.
I don't have screen protector yet but I was hoping putting one would fix that purplish tint issue. So it doesn't.

OK. They are awesome but do you have anything to say about the issue that I am having? If u share with us will be appreciated. I wanna know if there are perfect screens wwithout this issue or all phones have?
I meant that I do not see any tint on my screen.
I have a Bell version, made in China.
The only thing that is bothering me is grease fingerprints marks.
Otherwise this is the best screen on market right now.

I have bell too. Where did you get your phone? I would like to go to the store that u bought to compare mine. Phones in the store that i got mine all have the same issue. This is my 3rd phone from the same store and they are already sick of me going there to change everyday. Maybe it's a batch problem. Are u in Toronto? If u are could u tell me the store name?
I've bought it in the TBooth in Eaton center
I checked all the phones in eaton center and they all have different screens. Mostly they have yellowish tint. One phone in future shop was worst than mine(purple)
One of the 6 display phones in bell had a perfect screen. Which made me hesitate about changing my phone. What are the odds to get a perfect screen?
The phones which have yellow tint their colors look pale to me. Only problem is mine, certain grays look purplish. Such as the status bar buttons. In a dark room with 0 brightness they have a purple tint.
when I tilt the phone that purplish color goes away.
What color the pull down status bar buttons should look like? What is your color?
Dude there are always will be some imperfection in any device.
Stop nitpicking, enjoy your phone.
I've noticed that if I tilt my Nexus 4 to the left, there is a yellow tint to the screen. If I tilt it to the right, there seems to be a bluish tint. I don't have a ton of experience with IPS displays, but is anyone else seeing this? Could this be a defect? It looks great when viewed straight on.
Oh, I also have a Nexus 7 and I do notice a very slight bluish tint when tilted either way. Just wanna know if this is something I should be contacting Google about or if its a common Nexus 4 issue.

That is pretty normal for an LCD display which is why they are quoted with viewing angles. Go to extreme angles and you see odd effects, nothing out of the ordinary with that.

Actually this is not at extreme angles. This happens if I even tilt the phone slightly, which is why I noticed it so quickly. I can live with it, but if this is not usual, I should consider getting it replaced.
I've got a stupid pink tint at the very bottom of the screen and I've had 2 exchanges of the HTC One before exchanging for the GS4 and the network find it hard to believe I've had 3 faulty devices in a row and wont exchange it. Anyways I canceled my direct debit and told my bank not to allow anything from them until they sort it but It's just bloody annoying.
The Three Ones I went through all looked like this http://s16.postimg.org/rz4843lud/image.png and now my GS4 has a pink tint at the bottom, lol, I swear phones are getting worse.
Can't say whether it is h/w or s/w - I know mine doesn't seem to have it ... or it's not obvious enough if it has
But I would recommend not cancelling the DD as it will probably have consequences on your credit rating. Phone companies don't care about you cancelling it as they will get their £££
Does yours have ghosting? When I scroll up and down in menus I notice like the blue bars on the edges of them it changes to a darker colour, you can see it struggling to keep up, even see the old text through the blue bars.

It's commonly known as screen smearing, and we have a workaround for that

My GNex had the pink, and my S4 whilst not pink had a noticeable difference between the top and bottom of the screen. Darker at the top than the bottom.
Had it exchanged yesterday... new device is perfect, just waiting for Samsung to sort the laggy TouchWiz out.
Yeh they wont exchange mine saying I've had too many....... stop sending me faulty phones then.
Anyways wont pay them anything until they sort it.
Just noticed the purplish smearing on dark menus,
Also pinkish blue when popping in and out of the keyboard

I have the same thing, pink tint at the bottom when viewing under lighter backgrounds, it's pretty bad, gonna take it back to my carrier and try to get it exchanged.

Thanks for the response sir. Yes, I've checked your fix methods, tried the first two, but none of them worked. I think I don't have any smearing issue, rather I've a pink tint at the bottom of my screen. So, the upper 3/4 part of the screen is bright, and lower 1/4 part is dark (pink/purple tint). It seems, its a hardware issue, tho i'm running dead pixels app (from play store), which says, it will take 30mins. It is still running, but I guess replacing phone seems to be the only option.

Yeah, thanks for that. I even flashed latest Russian LP rom just to confirm it wasn't some software issue, but even on this ROM, I'm having pink tint at bottom which looks very bad. Anyway, will take my phone to repair center tomorrow, hope they see it clearly, and replace my phone
Anyone else got an LG G4 that has bad viewing angles? It turns yellow tint if I pretty much tilt it at all
No yellow tint at all here... maybe your unit is defective? I'd say exchange it.
Yeah was going to go look at a demo in the store and see how it looks. I mean I know Samsung screens are better than most but compared to my note 4 this screen kooks like a tns panel from a 2004 laptop

You sure they didn't send you a G3 which was notorious for yellow tint? I couldn't stand that when I had the G3. Now that I have the G4, that yellow tint is gone. Though I still think the best display is on my G2.

Note 4
I see a polarized-like tint when I tilt the phone, but I don't see yellow. I still have the factory screen protector on though, so not sure what the naked screen looks like yet. I'll check it out when the real screen protector comes in.
Same here
I have the same problem. Went to LG G4 from Samsung Note 4. The viewing angle is nowhere close to Galaxy Note 4 or S6. It's disappointing, because otherwise LG G4 is an amazing phone.
Yeah, my T-Mobile H811 looks funny when tilted, I get a very slight yellow hue at the bottom but if I tilt it back to straight it goes away. I had issues like this with pretty much every LCD display I've ever seen, even my Nexus 9 does it, it's just the way LCD panels are, which is why I prefer AMOLED.
The issue of yellow tint is directly related to what kind of ambient lighting you're surrounded by. It's a lot more visible outdoors in daylight (cloudy day) than late at night with incandescent lighting. It's not visible at all in fluorescent lighting. I'm just ignoring it because it's otherwise a great phone.
Screen looked like that when I bought a cheap screen protector. I spent 30 bucks on good one and no horrible screen

I run naked
Has anyone noticed any screen tint and/or discoloration? On a white background I've noticed that my screen has a slight pink tint on the bottom 20%. Dark backgrounds/images are unaffected.
Mine is uniform top to bottom... In dark lighting it does look a little holographic at times when I'm reading text on white background though.
I have a similar problem. Bought the US unlocked version and whites all over the screen have pink hue.

I preordered one from Verizon and received it yesterday. I'm going to drop by my local Verizon store and see if their display(s) have the same issue.
Mine has a redish tint as well. If you go to Display you can change the color profile. Can't tell if it actually helps though.

I tried playing around with the color temperature settings. Making the color temperature cooler makes it better, but still visible.
You mean like temperature ? Mine's a tad cooler than what I'm used to but I'm leaving it default. No reddish tint here.

I've got no tint unless I look at the screen at extreme angles (like >70 degrees). Even then, it's only a very slight pinkish color.
When I first turned on the phone, the screen was slightly warmer than I prefer. I fixed this by knocking the screen temperature slider 2 ticks over to the right.
Mine is fine. I can see it at extreme angles as well but just barely and really wouldn't notice it without stumbling on this thread

Mine has it at the bottom too, I think it is slowly going away but maybe not. I will give it a few days and if it is not completely gone I will get it replaced. This time yesterday my lower left side was really pink and bad, now it is hard to tell most of the time. Some LCD screens take a few days to cure properly. They say the sun or UV lights will speed up this process. Lets keep updating each other on our progress.
My htc 10 has a yellowish screen tint at the bottom when looking directly at the phone. However, it seems to go away if i tilt the phone away.

I definitely noticed a pink tint on my verizon model
I think maybe the "hologram" effect I'm seeing is almost an interpolating of white and pink. It is similar to the "shiny" effect you see if you slightly tilt to the left or right, but less pronounced. I mostly only see it when I'm scrolling thru text. Definitely seems slightly pink on white.
If I look at my screen at the perpendicular it is noticeable. On a pure white background the top 80% is white but the bottom 20% gradually fades into a subtle pink hue at the bottom.

Will do, it will probably take a while for it to arrive since it just started shipping. Judging how most people have perfect units I don't foresee any issues

I've seen a few people complain on Reddit as well. And someone said it's due to the glue and it should be gone with time, but I don't know if it's true. Was considering buying the 10 myself, but it's still not available in my country so I'll wait for you guys to say how it goes.
And I'm also sorry to hear every one of you has the issue ;//
Spot on! Finally someone who has the same issue as me (and clearly a lot of other people have it too)
And yes, mine does have that, very visible. I have no idea why they didn't pick an IPS or amoled display, the price is already pretty ridiculous.
Also tried the temperature changing function, doesn't do any thing. No software will fix this either, its just a hardware thing.

Quick question for those having this issue, if you pull up a plain white background like say one part of a display test do you see the discoloration on that?
