The screen is amazingly sharp but the overall color of this tablet seems really bland to me. My Galaxy s4 and even the note 10.1 had much more vibrant colors. Is there any sort of tweak that can be done to enhance the color on this beast?

I don't know of any for now, I have S4 as well and I know what you mean, however the thing is that it's a matter of opinion and getting used to that screen, I really think it's good enough, if I come to any solution (which I don't believe will appear, sorry) I'll tell you

Did you change the brightness in the drop down menu only?
That slider is just a fine tune for the actual setting.
Go into settings and display, and there is a REAL brightness slider there.

Interesting. Could this be due to lack of consistency in manufacturing? GSMArena said that their review unit is less bright than the one they previewed.
My device is bright enough.No problem at all under sunny conditions.
Hey guys, I think we all confused about what the real question is, i mean my NOTE 2 is bright enough too. but I think what he means is, the quality not the brightness. Honestly I have the same problem, when I compare my s3 to my note2, the s3 the color is more alive, for example, when you look at the icons in your desktop is not NEAT as the s3. When I had my s3 I faced the same problem, what i did was change my ROM but in this case, we have to wait until they release more rom for the note2.

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.

We see Samsung has released toooo many colours for S4, they are White Frost, Black Mist, Blue Arctic, Brown Autumn, Purple Mirage, Red Aurora, Pink Twilight, and UK carrier even customised Gold for S4.
Which colour do you like?
I just got the white version just because I think it dissipates heat better after taking high school physics (or perhaps this is just placebo)
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
I have took the black version
I had the white note 2 before, I didn't like its color
I think Samsung should stop using this color with high performance devices, unlike other low specs devices.
But for that heat issue, I think white color will do a great job, not like that black oven I have and especially in summer time

My wife has the white sg3 and I'm not a big lover of the white used.
I have the black mist sg4 and really really like it much better, best of all its NOT pure black its got those nice little speckles and as bonus as already mentioned the sensors are somewhat hidden :thumbup:
P.s. I should also mention Voda. Australia only offers white or black.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I opted for the Black Mist version, simply because my SGS3 was in white. So, I wanted something different.
I have the black but I want the white. It's flashier and loons nicer with the case I have
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4
I chose black. It's the least distracting and draws your attention right to the beautiful screen. It also gives the illusion of the phone being smaller than other colors, especially white.
I really like S4 Black Mist, its not really black, but it does show finger prints quite well. The white it doesn't seem to show them as much?
I got white frost and really like it, even the contrast to the sensors looks nice.
Got a black i9100 before that looked really awful compared to the white ones.
With the shiny back cover of the s4 this effect is even bigger on the s4, so go grab a white one

White seems making the device looks bigger in naked eyes.. my 10cent.
I got mine today from Amazon uk and I must say that I am a bit disappointed from the screen. I watched many reviews and all of them were talking for one of the best displays out there. Well they probably haven't seen Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 super amoled + magic. I will post a video later on with both devices playing a trailer from imdb.
Don't get wrong here. I love it but it just can't display black. Period.

I couldn't agree with you more. The Galaxy tab was retailing at 700 us while the nexus a fraction of that. However the amoled display on my "old" Sammy tab 7.7 is out of this world. The black and the color reproduction are just stunning. I was used to that display and the gnex looks to me a bit washed out. Other than that is is really great.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk 2
I suppose he is talking about the colours?
They are a little bit washed out and the white is a bit yellow when compared to my nexus 4 that has francos gamma settings applied.
However, when gamma controls are ported to the Nexus 7 the screen will look great with some tweaking. :thumbup:
Guys you do realise this screen is one of the few ones actually calibrated in the factory at two different stages and that the colours are accurate. What you see in the unfortunate Samsung models etc is a screen just with ridiculously saturated unrealistic colours. You guys need to train your eyes to see real quality...

Hi
Currently got an S4 and I'm looking to replace it as I use it a lot for movie watching and magazine reading and the slight yellow tint to the s4 screen really annoys me.
Seeing as the note 3 has a similar screen, but just slightly larger, can people confirm whether the note 3 suffers the same inaccurate whites/yellow tint?
Thanks!
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I don't know what yellow tint you're talking about but my S4 didn't have it nor does my N3. I dont use adapt display and my screen mode is set to dynamic
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk 4
It's when viewing whites my s4 has a decidedly warm colour to it so whites look dirty and slightly yellowy. It's a well reported characteristic of the s4 although probably didn't affect every single one.
Just want to know if the note 3 solves this by having cool whites as opposed to warm. Maybe personal preference but I much prefer a cooler display.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I have noted it but just in the movie mode, in dynamic and standard it seems a little bluer to me but it's personal opinion. But I have to say damn this is a beautiful display worth the choice of the phone by itself
Sent from my SM-N900 using xda app-developers app
That's good. As long as some of the modes have a cooler tint I'll be happy. The green/yellow tinge is just a bugbear of mine.
Thanks for the replies.
