Gray screen in sunlight? - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else noticed that in direct sunlight if you have your auto brightness set it will make your screen seem...gray? There is a gray tint to everything. What usually is black seems to be a grayish color. Any ideas

I think that he meant this:

I dont think he is refering to both yellowish screens or banding.
I'm having this issue too. It doesnt show itself unless the screen brightness is turned down, and especially an grey background. There will be faint large vertical stripes. It is as if the backlighting is uneven. Increase the brightness and it'll go away.
Seeing that i do not have the yellowish screen problem, no stuck/dead pixels and no bluish tint problem, im very reluctant to send this phone back for a replacement due to this problem. Its something that i can live with.

A way to reduce backlight brightness beyond default settings?

Hi peoples
Does anybody know of a way of reducing the backlight brightness below the stock settings?
I've tried various screen filters, such haxor Screen Filter, but these apps are rubbish IMO. All they do is apply a grey transparency filter over the screen, they don't actually reduce the backlight brightness The result is a trick, the screen looks darker but it's really only because the white pixels are made grey. The problem with this approach is that it messes up the contrast and colors, and gives a washed out look.
I like to sometimes use my N10 in a pitch black room, which needs a very dark screen. My old Galaxy Tab 8.9 was good for this, because the backlight was able to go much darker than the N10. The thing is, I know the N10 hardware is capable of having a darker backlight because if you don't touch the tablet for a few minutes, the screen first goes dim before it turns off.
I would like to be able to manually activate the very dim screen setting, or better still, have a lower brightness range available in the brightness settings.

Display uniformity?

i notice that my display is not uniform ... first i notice when i pull down my notification bar. But seems to be on dark grey or dark pink as well. I can see clearly when is not much light in room. Is just mine or is a common problem? Sry for bad quality pics.
even worse
Hi,
same with my S5. You can see the non uniformity best when the background is grey and the brightness low:
Can someone post a picture of his S5 at the lowest brightness with grey background to show how it should look with a uniform screen?

whitish and color fades out

When I go to direct sun the screen becomes more brighter and colors looks so faded
How to stop that happen.
Pls.help me
Checked all in settings din find anything to stop it

S8 Display turning Yellowish and dark lines with <50% brightness

Hi,
I am using S8 SM-G950FD on stock android 8.0.0 from year+, all of a sudden the display on the screen has turned yellowish, i have tried the adaptive display option and changed the RGB to max and low and the settings for edge colour but the display is still yellowish.
Also noticed another thing: If the brightness is <50% the yellowtinge with black lines come up but if >50% then the display is fine.
I tried to click photos/ take screen shots but the yellowish is not visible on photo, but the dark horizontal lines on whitebackground are clearly visible. have not dropped the phone but this has begun suddenly.
when the phone is under bright light the automatic brightness increases the brightness of screen and the display is clear, when the phone is moved into low brightness the mentioned issue comes up
Any suggestions on how can i resolve this?
Any help is appreciated, phone is out of warranty. Is there any any replacement circular for galaxy s devices, like FOC?
