Why colors are not vivid in this screen they look a little wached out
What u guys think?
They don't appear as oversaturated as the ipad 3/4 or OLED screens but it looks so bright that it makes up for it. I know the actual nit ratings are not the highest but this thing looks BRIGHT on the auto setting.
With the brightness all the way up it seems washed out. Just turn the brightness down. It's overkill for the most part, and seriously cuts down the battery life. Compared to my galaxy nexus, the blacks aren't nearly as good, but I'd say the color is more natural. Cheers.
When more kernels are released i'm sure there will be color controls. I'm personally waiting for franco kernel. He just posted on his google+ inquirying about releasing a test version of his kernel. should not be too long until we have the ability to change gamma and color density patience!

Thats cause this uses an actual LCD screen, unlike the Galaxy nexus. Honestly the blacks are one of the only decent things about the GNex screen. Custom kernels had to fix some major color issues with most people's devices. And as the person above me said, we will soon have kernels for this device too that allow color, contrast, and gamma options so anyone who is unsatisfied with colors at default can tweak their settings around.

I second this. Stock colors on the gnex make it look like a cigar stain. Think I stole that line from somewhere. Anyway they are bad. I've tweaked the colors on my gnex and now the diff between the two devices is less. I personally like oled, but the n10 screen IMHO is far more color accurate which may at times make it seem washed out.
Its kind of like too much bass. An untrained ear might say too much bass sounds better then a flat curve.

The colours are fine.. Its the colours on your oled screens that are overly saturated
I have to agree with the OP. Blacks are really bad. Also is everyone else screen on the warmer side (slightly yellow)?

The screen produces a very poor rendition of the NTSC colour gamut. I have professionally calibrated equipment at home to compare. Gray scale is good. Gamma is OK. Color accuracy is poor. Very antique looking. This is similar to how Panasonic used to calibrate their displays. The contrast is average. Overall the screen is simply mediocre with minimal glaring issues. This screen isn't for showing off; its for getting work done. Bright, sharp, and bland looking. Hopefully a dev unlocks some mdnie hacks that offer control over the displays calibration. A couple tweaks could definitely improve the perceived contrast and improve color accuracy. I've had a number of nexus devices over the years. They're very no frills. So I don't think we'll see many tools for improving the screen. Maybe some wonky color gamma tweaks.
Supercurio I'm calling you out for some assistance.

BTW I have a galaxy nexus with an amoled display. With some adjustments its a superb screen. The gamma is too high and colours are over saturated, however the colour rendition is far more accurate than the nexus 10. The blues and reds on the nexus 10 are way off the mark. Blues are more cyan, they are washed out, not deep enough. The reds are very under saturated. The greens are muddy, slightly brown. Yellows are over saturated and magenta is slightly under saturated. The display just doesn't compare to the new iPad in the slightest. Oddly enough, sharpness is the least important display characteristic for a quality display. Humans are much more sensitive to contrast and colour. The nexus 10 display has its priorities mixed up. On the other hand, I still love this thing and wouldn't trade it for any other tablet on the market. Its graphics performance is beastly and just outclasses most other tablets in regards to build quality.

There's an app called Screen Adjuster to adjust rgb and contrast. Root required. I wonder if that may help. I'm not rooted so I can't really try it. And I may end up returning it so didn't wanna muck with it for now.

Calling the ipad 4 oversaturated is just ignorant.
Not sure if its placebo but I updated to 4.2.1 and my build # is JOP40D and the screen isnt as dull anymore. Blacks are darker although still not as dark as my tf700. Anyone else notice this after the update?

I thought my N4 had horrible blacks until I realized that Android was using dark grays instead of blacks throughout the menu system. It makes the screen really hazy.
Not a fan.
Is there any way to correct this short of using a custom launcher?

Use a app that changes the colors. Of course this won't fix it either, it's just the way IPS screen is, AMOLED screens produce the best blacks.
Alternatively, you can download a inverted ROM that has a black background instead of dark gray / bluish.
I think the ROM you're looking for is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028025

We all know Amoled is great in viewing angle when keeping the high brightness in any angle. But just the brightness, not the color.
My Note 2 becomes pretty greenish even with only a sight change in viewing angle, and it's worse than Galaxy S3. I think this is the problem of Note 2 weird pixel matrix. The best Amoled in term of color in my opinion is Lumia 820 with bright screen, very white and very very little in color shifting.
Galaxy S4 has a new matrix also, so I don't know abt the quality of color.
Is there any kernel available for nexus 7 to increase color saturation of the screen? Although my N7 screen looks fine, I am used to Amoled from my phone, so it would be great if I can increase the saturation. It would look awesome with games.
I tried this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netmanslab.sa
but doesn't help at all. No option to make it more saturated, but only less saturated.
Thanks!

Hm..I don't think that app is the one i need..
I don't feel that the screen is washed out or anything like that in general. BUT what I really want is by rooting it and maybe increase the saturation so that it's more comparable to my AMOLED screen on my phone. I know there is an app for Nexus 4 that does exactly this, but I asked the dev if it would work on other devices as well, and he didn't reply at all. This was quite awhile ago actually..
BTW I haven't rooted my N7 yet and the only reason I may root is to increase color saturation.
Maybe someone else has more idea?
Isn't the opposite of washed out colors is saturated colors? Or am I just not understanding what you're wanting?
This should help with color saturation because washed out colors = desaturation. It's the only app I've seen.

I re-read my comment, it seems fine..what didn't u understand? um..you know that AMOLED (the one on my phone) is extremely saturated display right? so I'm used to the display, but N7 display isn't too bad (not very washed out in GENERAL, as IPS is usually like this), but compared to AMOLED it IS washed out. Most people would be fine with this IPS display on N7, and I'm okay too actually, but it would be awesome if I can increase the color saturation to make it more saturated, closer to AMOLED.
Hope you understand my question..
so it's not the Prism I'm talking about. I want to increase the saturation entirely. Prism I heard only makes the screen washed out for like 30 seconds while watching movies or something. I don't really have any problem with this btw..
Thanks.
The problem is that it stays on. It helps with color saturation and contrast, it's the only thing I've seen. You can try messing with the colors in CM and such but I doubt you are going to get anywhere.
I have a Note 2 phone. I love the screen on it because the colors are really saturated and strong. My friend has a Galaxy S6. I noticed on his phone, and the new S7's, the color saturation is alot less no matter what the color profile.
If I got a S7 edge, is there a mod that I could do where the colors could be adjusted and saturated like the Note 2?
