Yellow Tint

So on low brightness the whites seem a bit yellow. Can anyone confirm this?

I think I got ripped off. My phone doesn't have a love brightness setting :/

Its a common problem, at 0% brightness white is a tad yellow but still its much better than having blue/green or pink tint.I've tested lots of S3's in various stores all shows same phenomenon so getting your set swapped wont solve any purpose.

Well even at high brightness settings it looks a bit yellow. When I tilt the phone it looks more white and when I tilt it back you can clearly see the white is a bit yellow.

Yes its a "Bit" yellow on low brightness but on high brightness mine is pure white, its common with AMOLED they are unable to attain LCD whites.However this doesn't bother me much because I'm used to it now, keep in mind its not an tint screen is tuned bit warmer.
Ahh so it isn't just me

You bet!
Well.. It even seems to be a pretty pink compared to the GS Plus. Both at full brightness.

I think it's configured this way because blue pixels expire the quickest in amoled screens </not expert opinion>.
In either case, past phones have been able to use color controls like supercurio's app to change the tint. (And, by then you might've gotten used to it anyway.)

Sorry couldn't resist lol. My Spell Wrecker does that too.
Does it matter which screen setting you have enabled in the Settings app or is it on all of them?

I just checked it against my Note and mine is pinkish. It isn't distinguishable when not doing the comparison though.
Sent from my GT-I9300
Stop comparing displays and enjoy your S3.
I didn't notice it before the comparison and I don't notice it now. Only during. It is a non issue for me
This phone is great. No complaints here.

Purple tint

Anybody got this? In low brightness some darker elements(specially gray) start become a little purplish
Also the colors seem less saturated in the default screen mode than the s3(also in standard) i thought i would be the opposite, is my screen defective or is this normal
I tried google but all i get are galaxy nexus results(purple tint)

Welcome to S4. Every galaxy S4 has this. Please refer to other threads on how to get rid of this smearing through software.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium
The OP doesn't mention smearing.
This is a different issue to the smearing problem.
When the brightness is on low greys become purple. I have had 4 different S4s (all had to be replaced due to screen issues) and every single one had this problem on low brightness.
IMO there is no such thing as a perfect S4 screen!
I have finally settled on my 4th replacement and this one is still not great but I'm sick of returning them.
I have a pink tint at the top of this screen and also all the sensors, LED and front camera are misaligned in the casing, All over to the left.
Samsung have REALLY failed on the Quality Control of this device.
So it seems universal, well i will have to turn off auto brightness and use brightness at 30%
Any of u guys came from the s3? Do the s4 colors seem a little less saturated to u guys? I have them both side by side and it seems so

Yes. I had s3 before and the less saturation on S4 is intentional by Samsung. According to some detailed comparison, the colors of s4 are more accurate. It seems odd at first because our eyes are used to the oversatured screen of s3.

Is the S4 Active screen any good?

Yes, the screen is good but not as the original S4. It uses the same TFT screen that Sony uses in their Xperia Z.

Wow...you sure about that? Didn't hear anyone complain yet...
I have no pictures to prove it but I can see my screen clearly at any angle. I can even lay my head flat on the table next to it and read all the Icons. The sunlight readability absolutely trumps any minor shortfall the screen has. Contrast is excellent as well.
I did notice that when wearing polarized sunglasses you get a slight rainbow effect on light colors, but again, at least you can see it in sunlight.

it is really good but dont expect it to match the super lcd 3 of htc one or the super amoled of the s4
You can use the chart.

Just experienced purple smearing

I thought this was fixed on the GS4 with a software update... Why is it here on my note 3? It just started out of no where. Confirmed by sliding from left to right on the Reddit for fun app using the dark theme
You can't fix it by software, its a display issue. Pixels dont turn on that fast.
Same here that happened to my not3 yesterday

Same for mine but noticeable to me only at minimum brightness in a totally dark room.

Sure you can.. Download screen adjuster and set contrast to -10..
Then black colors change to very dark grey.. smearing is gone
