Does anyone notice how unnaturally saturated the colors are on the Note 10.1?
It's as if the color saturation has been set to "STORE DEMO" mode just for Extra POP like you see on TV Showcases at stores.
I've checked Movie, Normal, and Dynamic modes, all very unnatural looking.
This makes the color of skin tones and other natural objects look extremely exaggerated!!

Okay, so, one of the things that's really disappointed me with some recent Android tablets I've tried out has been the screen's color temperature and contrast:
1. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" and Toshiba Excite 10 all had very cold screens, with very blue-ish whites. Also, contrast was poor on both, so reading ebook on them with black text on a "white" background was unpleasant.
2. On some Primes I tried, whites were a dingy yellowish color (although I'm not sure that's because of the temp or some other issue), while some were a nice neutral-to-warm color.
3. The Toshiba Excite 7.7 screen varies depending on how much black/dark colors are being shown, clearly a power-saving feature. On screens with a lot of whites, the temp is made much coolor and contrast is reduced. On screens with a lot of darker colors, temp is warmer, contrast is increased, and whites are much less blue.
So, what I'm wondering about the Nexus 7 is this: what's the apparent color temp? Are whites "white," or are they yellow-ish (warmer) or blue-ish (colder)? And how's contrast, specifically black text on white?
I know I'll get the darn thing in a few weeks, but in the meantime I'm not finding any reviews that say anything other than "great screen for the money." And unless someone's being really careful, it's tough to show screen colors and temperature in pics and video...
This is the app I used to test: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=engn.test.screencolor&hl=en
Contrast - Black: Squares 6 and above are clearly distinguishable, 4 and 5 are just about visible
Contrast - White: All squares are distinguishable
Color Scale - Brightness: All squares are distinguishable
Color Scale - Saturation: Highest 4 squares are equally saturated on all but orange, light blue and grey
This is with an AUO panel and default white balance - I'm hoping someone with a JDI panel (or indeed another AUO) can weigh in with their observations.
what is wrong with your display then?
I have the JDI (Novatek) and confirm the same crushed black levels with Color Test and Display Tester - except that only 7 and above are distinguishable. White contrast and brightness are the same as yours, but color saturation tests vary between the two apps .... personally I trust Display Tester better, which shows blues only are moderately over-saturated.
The crushed blacks are definitely noticeable in dark scenes with or without X-Reality. The panel is quite warm compared to others, and the White Balance settings are somewhat useless since they involve an overlay filter, it seems, and so just darken the screen.

Yeah not too happy with the white balance setting compared to voodoo/cm colour settings on my old galaxy s, but gets the job done for the most part. Call me crazy but I like it even warmer than default
And hopefully there will be some software improvements to the display in Kitkat
how can i know if my device use JDI or AUO panel?
It says on the back of the screen

Assuming you don't like the idea of dismantling your phone to check the back side of the panel you might want to follow my instructions in this post.
Yes Louis has the best way, sorry for my late reply, only just got my screen back in. Mines a JDI

Z1c black w9 telenor-hungary auo-panel (no "blue" problem)
To dark, the dark areas (too high contrast/gamma), dislike me...
But, good deep-black.
Automatic background light regulation not a good idea (automatic brightness: OFF, x-reality: OFF ).

AUO Panel here. Results are pretty much similar in mine.
Color Scale - Saturation: The last 4 squares on the right end are clearly distinguishable for all except yellow and bluish green. Just about distinguishable for the green line.
On an unrelated note, I noticed that the INDOOR brightness level on the AUO panel is getting decreased by at least 4 levels on a scale of 100, when I put the slider to the lowest end and checked 'Adapt to lighting conditions'. You can see the difference very clearly by checking and unchecking the 'adapt to light' check box. Might save some battery during indoor use or ebook reading.
Fire hd8 not copying iPhone pc blue color correctly it looks faded grey. Not bright blue.
I noticed the same problem. It's not nearly as vibrant as the Fire 7 screen either. I had to edit the photo I was using to add brightness and a bit more blue, blur/clarify the sky etc. and it now looks better, but still not as good. Also noticed that screen brightness slider influences the saturation and color too.
How well do you know your fifty shades of grey? Rate this thread to express how good the Nokia 7 Plus's display contrast is. A higher rating indicates that black is true black, rather than a very dark gray.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Hello. I would like to ask about the deep blacks on low brightness in an environment without a light. I read before sleep, and I set my nexus 6p amoled to black with white text. Knowing that LCD cannot block all the light for blacks, I want to know how strong the gray shade is. I searched for an image taken from the display during night with no luck. Though considering the variable exposure of photos I guess it is useless to see that. Unfortunately the same can be said about human perception, but anyway I really appreciate any thought on the matter.
So couple of days later and I have the phone. I will post my opinion on the screen here for anyone wondering.
First about the thread topic: The blacks do look grayish in a very dark environment, so compared to an amoled the backlight is visible, however, if the brightness is brought all the way down to minimum, it is bearable.
According to this statistics the Nokia 7 plus screen gets a top score in contrast among LCDs. According to Nokia their screens have an additional polarizing layer which filters more backlight for darks. I confirm that even with an ambient light the grayish tone of blacks is not visible.
Now before discussing the cons of the screen, I have to say that I consider it a good screen. The contrast is good, colors pop out (not as much as amoleds), the sunlight reading is good (not excellent, 3.5 out of 5, amoleds capped at 3), and I enjoy watching movies, peculiarly even more than my nexus 7 amoled, I think it has to do with that faint grayish blacks! Since if I increase the amoled brightness the contrast will increase to an unnatural level for movies (just my opinion).
Now the shortcoming is the absence of white balance adjustment, on software side. This absence is problematic in this case because it is a very cold screen, which means the colors are a little toward blue tones. On the same website if you look at the "Color Temperature" you see it scores 8105, compared to 6863 of Pixel 2. How important this is? It is personal preference! I found turning on the night mode with a very light intensity fixes the problem; Yet we need more color control like in Oxygen OS from Oneplus. Will be happy to see it included in pure android since the needed filters exist as core android libraries.
If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the OnePlus 6's display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.

The colors are little too saturated like in samsung phones in the past. Yup, there are color calibration modes....but one turns white into yellow and the other very dull.
In short, the default one is the best but be prepared for getting stunned with those over bright and punchy colors.
I use the adaptive Mode.
Its a good Mixture from sRGB and default.
Just for info, not all OP6's displays are the same. I ordered 2 devices,and test it both. I keep one with better display, more crisper, white is more cleaner, less yellowish like on other. The other one has more dirty washed color in comaprasion, and the one I keeped is more on white red balance. So, this is not secret, all displays are little different in all manufacturers. It is just lottery.
I have the issue that the white is warm/yellowish if I look at it really straight. As soon as I tilt it even the slightest bit, it all gets colder/blueish. No matter if I chose SRGB etc. It is not a big change in color, but it is quite irritating. Does anyone else face this issue?
I'm surprised at everyone on here, my display is overly blue by a good amount, I have the custom temperature setting set most of the way to warm.
