Just had my UK Note III delivered, and initially was blown away with the screen..
But when the evening came, and the lights dimmed, the screen auto brightness kicked in, and I've noticed some website backgrounds which are lighter shades of grey seem to show a slight cream tinge mainly around the middle of the screen..
I don't know if I'm being too fussy, the screen does seem 'warm' around the middle as well, it's much cooler at the bottom of the screen, where it seems to have no tint at all..
What's everyone else's like..

I just stumbled upon this thread. I have a similar problem and created a thread last night and included a picture.
Did you end up keeping yours or exchanging it?
Thanks!
I exchanged it, but the new phone was not perfect either. I then tried a few galaxy oled phones, like the note 2 and s4, plus a couple of note 3's in the shops, and they all don't have pure whites at lower light levels.
So, I've decided to just keep this, and very used to it. The large screen doesn't help, as viewing angles mean up close never looks perfectly uniform, so it seems a feature of Sammy screens.
The phone is just to awesome for me to get hung up over it. . Most people cannot see these things, and was surprised to see all 5 S4's I got my hands on looked identical, just slightly reduced due to the screen size.

i am so thrilled to be back to android after a 2 year hiatus... my experience over the last few weeks with the 6p (64GB aluminum) has been amazing.. there are a few glitches in the 6.0 system such as bluetooth switching with sound, and a bit of choppy scrolling now and then, but those are minor and i know that marshmallow is brand new and those will get fixed with updates.. my only serious concern at the moment is the display/screen dulling in luster after a day or 2..
i will reboot, and have a crisp, clear, awesome display on the phone for about a day... then after that the display seems to dull and lose the crispness.. colors are muted, and dont shine bright, sort of washed out - whites and blacks get greyer..icon colors getted muted....dulling is the best adjective i can muster to describe it.. if i manually reboot, it comes back to perfect again, but only for a period of 8 hours or so...
i have adaptive and ambien set to off.. RGB in developer options is off.. i have display set at about 40% static.. and if i increase brightness manually, it makes the screen brighter but the washed out colors remain..
anyone else experiencing this? is this something i should be concerned about and inquire about an RMA for a new unit?
seems ok after I turned off sRGB
Hi, just bought this Galaxy S4 i9505 everything fine, opened it up to perform some cleaning, seller told me screen was once replaced due to break, but at first glance with bright and colorful backgrounds I didnt notice anything weird. I cleaned prox and gesture sensor was always "1" bc of dust obstructing it, also I think i released the display flex, dont know why, but plugged back, after doing that I noticed weird color representation in dark images, (I DONT KNOW IF THIS WAS HAPPENING BEFORE I OPENED IT, IT COULD) opened and rechecked screen flex, brushed it with dry brush on both board and flex, same thing, I dont really see anything weird on the contacts of either side, already tried all android display settings standard, vivid, etc. Colors look really pale and poor when at dark levels, pixels would just go BLACK if a really dark color is tried to be represented, drastical jump from, for example a dark gray to black, it looks more like normal gray, then black.
XDA wont let me post links to pictures, can only describe the issue
Ive read AMOLED screens can "get old". Is this? Also, colors get more washed and pale in low bightness setting, if I increase bright it improves a little bit but I hate full brightness. Specially in my bed.

If the screen was replaced then it was probably substituted with a low quality screen and not an original one, hence the image problems you have.
It could also be that the GPU is failing.
You could try doing a factory reset or even re-flashing the stock ROM. Though your problem appears to be hardware related.
I have a cheap LCD replacement display. it is terrible for showing dark areas and shadows on videos and photos too. it's nothing you've done most likely, only partial solution is to adjust the brightness until these affects are at their most reduced.
Thank you all very much, yes its hardware, Ill sell this phone cheap for like 100usd and get another one, I tried already flashing same stock kitkat and stock marshmallow and back, always the same, its cheap LCD or GPU or CPU, Thank you all. Closed.
Hey Guys,
I was fortunate enough to receive my phone today, and it was working amazingly through out the day I've had it.
Sometime during the night the phone took on a sharp red tint however, and nothing I have thought to do has reverted it to normal! I do not have the blue light mode on, Night mode is also off. I attempted to adjust the basic color scale as well as the advanced scale but the display doesn't actually change, it stays sharp red! After playing with all of the display and accessibility settings I could find, I tried to do a settings reset and a factory reset yet the problem persisted. Keep in mind that the red tint is only when I am using Vivid mode, under the Natural color profile the display colors are fine.
So after all of this i contacted Samsung support, and their answer was that I should look to return the phone, apparently a factory reset is the only answer they could of provided. I asked if they could help me re-install the firmware remotely or anything of the sort, but sadly they just read a script over there. Makes me wish i was sticking with a pixel, at least Googles support actually Tries
Has anyone else whose got the phone experienced this yet? i saw a bit that both the S8 and S9 had issues at some point or another with a red display, but I couldn't find a resolution for the issue.
Yup... I've got the red tint as well. That was the first thing I noticed after powering on the phone. It's more visible at the bottom of the screen for me.
Changing the colour mode from vivid to natural makes it more than required yellowish for my preference.
Am waiting for one of my friends to receive his S10+ and I'll compare his screen with mine. If it's too bad, I'll contact Samsung.
For the time being it's not bothering me much as am using dark background and black keyboard theme.
Folks, remember that there is a bit of natural color shift that occurs in these screens (ie: hold the phone straight up at your face and then tip it backward and forward a bit and it'll seem almost iridescent and travel up and down the screen). This is to be expected. I, too, have this occurrence but it isn't anything like the red/pink splotching on the S8+
I have the same issue with pink tint when rhe phone is not upright. I have checked more phones in Samsung store and everyone has it.

You probably have set blue light filter night mode to come on at night time. That would make the screen look that way.

There is no denying the screen has a pink tinge to it compared to the S9 plus. I wonder if it has something to do with the lowered blue light emissions that Samsung said these new screens had.
I'm definitely getting the noticeable pink tinge when viewing at any angle aside from straight on. Note 9 didn't do this at all
I am disappointed so far with the display on my S10+
I have also found it to have a red sort of tint, if I turn the phone to one side it looks a lot better
Could this have anything to do with the screen protector applied at factory?
Compared to my S8 the whites are so much better and whiter on the S8, also noticed a lot more screen/display settings on the S8...
Hey guys,
So I managed to fix my problem, the red display issue seemed to of been tied to my backup from my previous phone (a Pixel 3XL). I did a clean factory reset without restoring the backup, and the error went away.

This. Comming from note 9 as well I experience the same thing exactly. The colors seem somewhat washed out compared to the clarity of note 9. Absolute white is warmer with a hint of pink or yellow.
What i did is to put vivid mode, red and green both low and blue max. That seems to be the closest to my note 9.
I also went back to a Samsung experience store to change my device as I wasn't happy with the result. After inspection and comparison with other units they told me there is nothing wrong with it and would refuse to change it. All the s10 where similar to each other tbh. I just like the colors on my note 9 a lot more.
They also told me that the new screens have different colors compared to older devices to help out with the night sleep. Something that folks over displaymate also verify on their review.

It is very strange that nobody mentioned that in reviews.
I have redish screen too.
Vivid mode seem too red
The natural mode seem fine
My screen is absolutely perfect in vivid mode, you shouldn't restore updates when configuring it.
Has anyone experienced any issues with Smart Switch? That's what I was going to do when I FINALLY get mine. Im coming from an S8+.
I put this here because some people said when they restored their phone they got the red tint.
Screen looks fine to me. I have seen pink screens in past devices but this one is paper white.

@5.35 you can see the difference I'm talking about and how much warmer the screen of s10 looks compared to note 9.

I dnt hv such issues.. i hv restored through smart switch but thing remember i didnt got any app data after transfer
I thought this red tint probably has to do with the "42% lesser Blue light" that Samsung advertised for the S10 series Displays ... Is it not ?

If that were the case I guess I would expect it to be uniform? As I tilt the phone up and down, I can see the wave of pink tint going up and down the screen shifting between white and pink.
If it wasn't shifting colors it wouldn't bother me nearly as much

I have this as well. I suspect it is simply the nature of the screen. My 10+ is a deal warmer than my 9+ without tweaking the display settings. It isn't a uniform thing but rather almost like a wave of sorts when you shift the phone.
Hello guys, suddenly I'm having display issues on my k20. I've attached a link to the video, when i pull down the notification bar, look how the blacks are loading a bit late. When i turn off dark mode, i see no issues like this, it's just the beautiful display again. Even i had same issues with my dark wallpaper. Please check, if you've same issues. I'm really concerned about it. Also, this maybe screen flickering but when i increased brightness, the issue didn't disappear, it was still persistent but at lower levels.

That's normal behavior for amoled displays.
1st: If this is the display problem, how can you expect we can see this on a screen capture??
2nd (probably because of the 1st): I can't see anything wrong.
3rd: I have no display issues at all.

Can't you see that voilet-ish colour instead of black when I'm swiftly moving the notification bar? It's clearly visible in video, you might want to check again.
Nope, watched it at least 5 times, on my PC and my 9T. Can't see anything peculiar.
I can not see anything wrong or violet at all. Am playing this on my computer at 1080 resolution and 0.25 playback speed and there is nothing to see.
If your screen is faulty, we are not able to see it on video you have shared with us of course
DAMN IT! Even i see nothing from my laptop
I think I'm having screen issues, only when its dark mode, else the screen is working absolutely fine!
I need to get to the service center ASAP! :crying:
Edit: Guys can you try doing the same and look if the issue is persistent in your screen too?! It would really be helpful for me.

It's normal for OLED panels, some are better, some worse. My phone has it too. No need to go to the service center.
I too have it brother. Dark mode has it normal mode doesn't. It can also be noticed if you open youtube and scroll back and forth quickly. The blacks seem to be spilling or streching. I saw that on your video and I don't know if it is normal or not but i too have that and wanted to ask someone about that.

People are claiming this to be normal, but after searching a lot i got to know these kind of issues come after 1-2years, not in a week or month. So I'm trying my best to replace my device or get the screen changed. I don't understand why Xiaomi is keeping the colours to pure blacks when they know their displays are facing smearing issues. I hope someone just changes that pure black colour to very dark grey colour, system widely. Some developer tested(on OP7 pro) the battery consumption difference with pure black and dark grey and it turned out that, dark grey consumes only 0.067% more power than dark inky blacks. I'm humbly requesting developers to change the colour, or at least have an option for the same.
My display when there is low light, the brightness is set to low and the image I see on the display is darkish I can see a vertical line at the left side of the display, is this normal or should I return It?
It's normal for Amoled screens (from first day of use). Just search for Amoled black smearing and you'll find a lot of videos and articles. S10 has it, iPhones have it too.

I have faint vertical lines on the right of the display when the brightness is low which is how I normally use it. I also have black smearing on pitch black to dark color transition. I think thats normal, it doesn't really bother me all that much.
The best way to reproduce this issue is turn off brightness to minimum and turn on reading mode to max. Then you'll see delay of displaying some colors (mostly gray)

My k20 has this issue and it's annoying that after paying for a flagship killer, we just got a cheap display which is not just low in quality but has these issue in dark mode which i think most of us use. Interestingly when i record this from screen recorder,it doesn't show up much but the same can be seen visually. So, this is definitely an issue that redmi is trying to let go.

As you "record from screen recorder" you do not record from the screen as you may like to think. You capture the video signal BEFORE it gets to the screen. So any imperfections caused by the amoled screen do not show up on a screen capture.
Anyway, this is a normal weakness with all amoled screens that I have seen.
It is soooo annoying when in dark mode at low brightness, I feel like I couldn't stand it anymore. The worst experience of display usage ever.
Maybe with DC dimming update that might happen someday, the issue won't be as intrusive and pronounce as it is right now. But whenn???
UPDATE:
So I found a workaround for this issue with an app. It's called Screen Balance. Basically it adds a filter overlay on your screen (ineffective on notification panel, because android restriction). Set it to either flourescent or flourescent (warm) at 15% strength minimum, and both brightness and contrast at 100%. You won't see perfect black anymore, but very close to that and no smearing effects visible unless you're really trying to.
I've bought Mi 9T Pro and have the same issue (also see it in your video). Did you fixed that?
