Yellow Tint

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

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.

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.

(Q) Dark UI option?

So most ROMS now have an option to enable a Dark UI. On Xylon it's Dark Xylon, Pac is Pac is black, etc.
I'm just curious, does it only change menus to black? And is that it? It just seems a bit pointless having a whole option, just to change the menu background.
Sorry but that's just my opinion. Or is there more to this toggle that I'm missing? Thank you vet much!

Looking forward to someone answering this..

Well the name of the toggle is quite self explanatory...it makes the ui dark. This includes most menus, as well as other general parts of the interface (quicksettings, notification drawer, etc). I really dont see how its pointless...what more are you expecting it to do. If you dont like it, ignore it and continue on with your life.

It saves battery on devices with AMOLED screens

No it is not just the menus and backgrounds. It is also text colors and images.

Its a little more than just backgrounds. For example their is a reason slim ROMs tells you to download their gapps over say the official gapps. It colors anything that is coded to react to the dark ui or inverted mode. In my case the play store and the gmail widgets/app

So it does not offer any other benifits other than a dark look for non AMOLED devices? More or less like a dark theme.. ?

Black offers battery improvements for oled only...This is IPS+ so you're doing yourself a disfavor by using inverted gapps and those real black black themes some ROMs offer. You can Google lg IPS+ tech docs and white is the only color that uses less pwr on IPS than oled.

I find having white letters on a dark background shows better, allowing me to turn the backlight lower, so there is some benefit.

I see better with black text on a white bg, so I can also have a lower brightness. When using black bg on n4 I can't see as well so I raise brightness to like half outdoors.

I know mostly others are like that, seeing better black on white. Bright white is displeasing to my eyes, like bright lights. I actually suffer from a bit of night blindness. A lot of bright white makes it hard for me to read tiny black letters. Turning the brightness down only seems to blur the black letters for me. Plus, when my eyes tire, it only gets worse. I actually prefer white letters on dark gray vs black.

[Q] Display brightness issue

I'm currently on my second N3 (the first one had vertical lines in photos) and looks like this one has a bad display. When using Tapatalk with the dark theme, the bottom left corner/edge of the display is brighter than the rest. When testing with Screen Adjuster, the difference is very noticeable. The issue can be seen even with just Thumb Keyboard with WP7 theme.
Has anyone else noticed this kind of problem?

Return it and buy from another store. Seems like these guys are selling you lemons.

The two phones are from different stores, I'm still waiting for a replacement for the first one.

Mine upper side screen seems brighter than below screen.. but this condition only happen when i use xda app set to dark theme..i thought the xda app the one that problem..not the phone...

Check it with the stock messaging app, it should have a uniform brightness. Mine is glowing on the left edge and especially on the bottom left corner.

You may notice that the black screen when you open the settings. Not symmetric Colors.
There is a difference in the backlight. Increase in the left of the screen.

AMOLED has no backlight! the issue is due to the production process (basically: the more of the center of the wafer your particular screen has been cut out, the more uniform it will be)!

Change from Adapt Display to Dynamic. Best thing to do to resolve the problem.

If you want to get rid of display brightness issues, just switch to Dynamic, as the 'blacks' in Settings would be even blacker, to the point where it doesn't really light up as it uses the OLED technique of showing true black.

Anyone had this happen to their note 3? It started on the side and it was very small. Has gradually grown over the past couple of days.

Notes have LED screens... your title says LCD.
Are you asking if this is a common thing (Notes with obviously damaged displays), or if it's a secret feature of the Note to bleed a color across the display over the span of a "couple of days" (it's not). I would order a replacement.

Technically the note has an OLED sreen...
And LEDs are LCDs. LEDs just have better light placement with the addition of being edge lit.
OLEDs also provide power to individual pixels and produce a better range of color and can produce true blacks by turning the pixel off. Where as LCDs and LEDs cannot.

I understand the subtle differences between the two; different matrix layouts, different lighting capacities, etc., but their similarities don’t make them interchangeable. An incandescent bulb and a halogen bulb are practically the same (do the same thing, have the same physical components) but they have different names because they execute light emission differently... the same applies here. If an LED screen has a capacity that an LCD screen does not (true blacks), they aren't the same. I wasn't trying to be condescending in my first post if thats how it came across.
Anyway, Im sure we all agree that the display in the original post is not common and should be taken care of... unless I missed the part about OLED's having monthly cycles lol. Good luck OP

That looks like what Lux will do to control display brightness. Do you have any 3rd party software overriding the brightness setting?

The color reproduction is horrific and hurts me eyes. I already used comfort mode and tried color adjustment in accessibility. It didn't help. My previous note 4 was amazing. I can't stand this.

Check out the app called Color Screen Filter, this will run and you can change the Alpha, and RBG colors. I have not been able to get my "perfect" setting yet, but getting closer.

If the colors hurt your eyes, you can always use black and white mode [emoji38]

You can use higher (white) Kelvin bulb.
Usually it's between 2700-6500.
Try daylight (5000-6500k) bulb.
BTW, my eyes are nearly blind under 2700k.
