Coming from a Z2, which had apparently the last semi-accurate display released by Sony, the Z5P's default color temp is insane. According to reviews, it's close to 10,000K (where ~6500K is ideal for daytime use). Check out this comparison shot below (Z5P on the left, Z2 on the right, default white balance settings):

Everything has a blue tint (as expected with that cold color temp). Fortunately there is the white balance option, but I find it works somewhat. It uses color overlays, and results in even higher grayscale dE (you can see it with your eyes, let alone a colorimeter).
Am I the only one annoyed by this? Is there a panel lottery or is this considered 'normal' for the Z5P?
could be following possible reasons
1. is your device rooted and/or did you install/remove any screen filter app (such as twilight) ? might some setting were leftover.
2. was device xposed to high temperatures while playing games/watching movies?

Just out of curiosity, why does rooting the phone cause this? I have a rooted z5p and my dad has an unrooted one and I do notice a difference in the display similar to what is shown in the OP. I do have the DRM-emulated keys on my phone though so I thought that would make it similar to how it was.

rooted device means the core hard setting are subject to be changed by any app. May be some app did without even notifying you once root access were granted.
DRM keys is not going to affect the tint. in fact you have drm keys in place thats just a value addition.

Download CF.Lumen from Play Store and play with the settings. I decreased the color temp to 6500K with the app, looks way better.

i noticed something very interesting.
in DEVELOPER OPTIONS
if your windows Animation scale / transition animation scale/ Animator duration scale affects are "ANIMATION OFF"
the screen will wakeup instantly
when affects are ON, and screen wakesup will be fading in style (on double tap or by the power button) , and i noticed some blue tint. so closed the animation affects and now screen is brighter and good to go!
The device was brand new when I took it out of the box. Apparently this is standard - I went to an electronics store and compared my screen with the demo units. All of them have the blue tint.
As for the CF Lumen suggestion, there's no need for it - Sony includes a white balance setting, however this reduces both brightness and contrast. A pity, since my Z2 (on the right) has a white color temp of ~7000K (very close to the ideal 6500K).
If anyone has used a colorimeter to calibrate the display, please post your white balance settings.

I'll try it, but I find that hard to believe. All of the 'color temp' apps (including Sony's settings) use colored overlays (like screen filters) - so brightness and contrast are affected.

if any help needed plz do let me know
i have rooted E6833 / 6.01
I checked with my Z2 and Z5P also, but in my case, Z2 had more blue tint more than Z5P.
However under my test, they were both max brightness, and Z5P is way brighter than Z2. May be that's why?
Did you adjust both of your screen to MAX brightness or adjusted to around same brightness?
Thanks!

I have bought 2 Galaxy S From the first batch for me and my.
Now I just purchased one for my father.
And his screen is much better, may be it is just the calibration
But the color seem more bright, vivid and white.
the color of mine is more yellow.
Just a thought
May be Samy improve for the last batch
No pictures and it didnt happen..

mine is very white as well, I have seen the ones with yellowing and mine doesn't have it.
May be is only that i don't have chance and the 2 first i get is like that.
In fact i don't see a band like other thread mention, it just like calibration thing.
But it is ok, if i haven't see my dad's one i would never notice
i don't think picture would reveal that small details, and will send his phone to the dad day.
Thx
Have you checked the Settings>display> Background Effects to verify both are on the same setting, and yours isn't on movie?
I read somewhere that some specific models have a yellowish colour problem on the screen..
This really shouldn't be normal, so my best answer is to send it in for repair
No yellowing on mine all looks good.
Are both phones using the same brightness settings?
On my phone, when the brightness is low, whites have a yellow cast, but on full brightness, they look very good.
Mine is white as well. No yellowish color or pink spots on camera shots.

I've noticed on mine that the colour temperature gets warmer at lower brightnesses. Also dark grey takes on a brown cast. On full brightness it's perfect though. No left hand side yellow cast either that I can see.
There's 60 pages of discussion on this already and the points you're making have been made there a dozen times. Do we really need another 60 page thread on the exact same issue? In the other thread there's also a code to tell what version of screen you have. It would be interesting to see if the claimed "new batch" has a different version.

The main question arises....HAS THE BANDING issue been rectified...so i can FINALLY go head with my S2 purchase ? I'm hesitant to purchase such an expensive device..KNOWING it has a very obvious banding defect...and it seems samsung is unaware of its existence!
I had to ask this question, when I had my S8500 I always set the Brightness to 0, still the screen was enough bright with vivid colors and good contrast looked very sharp and there was no Bluish tint on the screen. But here with S-AMOLED+ if I set the Brightness to mid level or higher then the screen performs well and probably beat the former screen. But when it's set to Auto brightness it seems that the screen has a bluish effect and the whites are not perfectly white, the pictures are not that crisp like it was on the former one, in this case I'd easily say that former screen was better. Now is this a feature of S-AMOLED+ or problem? In low or 0 brightness it is the S-AMOLED which perform much better but not S-AMOLED+ !

This drains way too much battery as it is seriously CPU intensive.
One reading this, I installed Watchdog, set to monitor all processes including system ones, I have been watching a few movies for 10-20mins and screen adjust is showing as using 0% cpu usage?
I am only adjusting the contrast not the colour, could that be the reason for my low cpu usage?

just so everyone knows blacks usually use no power at all on an amoled display, however when you apply a screen filter everything black is now a slight tone of colour depending on which filter you added, this means that your screen will be using more power as every single pixel will always be on.
yeah, I know, but my video`s were really bad in dark scenes, total back areas of blotchyness, it was unwatchable, And i was really happy with my screen no yellow/green tinge or anything

Just been experimenting, Im using the trial version of 'Privacy Filter' and ive got it set to white and lowered it to just barely above the bottom of the scale, and well......OP is certainly on to something, on the gamma test image I can see every step as it should be yet ive got it set so low that it seems like black is still black as in I cant notice a difference between screen off and screen on on the black parts.
Things to note though, if you set the slider too low blacks become grey again and also the app im using gives my phone lag but as a proof of concept it deffinatley works and theres no reason why devs couldnt include something like this in there roms.
I will keep experimenting with different apps and settings, Im yet to try a paid app so that will be next, ill try and get some photos up in a bit.

OK guys, after the sound thread, i decided to open a new thread, speaking about the new AndreiLux's baby: The color engine
WHo remember Voodoo color for S.Amoled screens like GalaxyS and Nexus S?
certainly most of you
Yesterday Andrei released his first version, included in STweaks, of his new way to control screen colors ( and more!)
let's start with a Granger Rainbow to better understand how colors are

And here are Andrei explanation about settings ( as he said, they can be not very true and surely unfinished)

Front Buffer Early Suspend Delay

It is used to set a dalay in which time the phone continue to draws IE is used for CRT-OFF animation ( set to 100ms to have the correct animation)
The thread is done with, in mind, the intention to collect users display's configuration and make better colours and calibration
Please indicates the screen mode base ( Dynamic,Standard or Natural) or settings will be fault.. and also all intent while you were setting things ( for example to have better colors,or simply more vivid colors etc)
Hope to see movement here !

Can it fix zero black level bug? The GS3 display is always like #050505. It's never really 0 Volt per pixel. Looks cheap like LCD.
This doesn't affect the whites at all. Still doesn't fix screen tint issues.

Er... SGS1 wasn't pure black neither, you could see a bit of brightness in the dark.
SGS3 is a bit brighter but calling it "cheap LCD" is going a bit too far.
I still have to see a LCD screen with the same black level (and I'm in front of one of the best MVA screen with something like a 2500:1 contrast).
Yep, right. I rather meant "cheap" regarding you can still see the borders (very dark rectangle) at night. Not the overall quality.
My SGS Plus (I9001) is perfectly dark though.

I'm guessing they will as per standard amoled rules.
- Darker screen = less battery
- Some colours (red iirc) = less battery
- I also guess that higher saturation causes more battery drain cause the pixels are outputting stronger/brighter...
But really, this is more about tweaking your screen to meet your preferences - the small changes most users will make will probably have a negligable effect on battery life.
Now, if only someone could port / make this for the original Galaxy Note and it's cr**py mDNIe sh**ty failure... that'd be great .
Just a wild post here, don't mind me.
Im unable to find some of these options on stweaks. Using Perseus 33.1.

Hey guys,
I've searched these forums quite thoroughly, and I haven't found any kernels/ROMs that allow for the display brightness to go past its minimum brightness settings. If you've had an iPhone, you'll know that the iPhone's minimum brightness is so much lower than the Nexus 4's. It makes using it at night so much easier on the eyes.
In all the threads I've come across, people just suggest to use Lux, or any of the other apps that just put a filter over the screen. These just make the screen grey, and just mute the colours - they don't actually reduce the brightness past 0.
I know that lowering the minimum brightness is possible; at least it is on other devices. On the Nexus 7, M-Kernel has a file that you can edit to change the panel's minimum brightness, and on my old Xperia Play, the RootDim app [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.pruss.superdim&hl=en] allowed lowering the panel's brightness.
So, has anyone come across any kernels/ROMs that actually allow reducing of the panel's brightness past 0?
Oh, and I emailed the guy who made the RootDim app, and he mentioned something about pwm drivers. Does anyone know more about that?
Thanks!
I think I was able to do this on my old phone (HTC Wildfire) using Cyanogen. But no guarantees. Also, no idea if that is still supported or works on the N4...
If it's purely about using it at night I would recommend Screen Filter. I prefer not to mess with forcing my screen to use values outside the tried and tested boundaries set by the manufacturer.

For what it's worth, the "lowest" brightness by default is 5%. CM lets you adjust this down to "0%" but it seems autobrightness is a little buggy.
edit: nevermind. The range for autobrightness is 5-100 by default. When manually setting brightness, I believe "0" is possible on stock? I agree there are times a dimmer setting would do. Changing gamma settings can get you deeper colors and result in a dimmer looking display. Opposite of the graying you're referring to.

I'm wondering about this too, in bed at night the screen is too bright on the eyes which makes the reading time much less,
on amoled screens its great due to no backlight which doesn't make the eyes tired,
there must be a way to reduce the backlight, but it may make the backlight flicker if undervolted, which would be worse on the eyes

Have you tried playing with the gamma settings and dropping the brightness down to 0 manually (autobrightness only goes down to 5%).
Halfbreed is pretty decent and results in a "dimmer" display without washing/graying everything. Only problem is under daylight, it's not effectively as bright.
I'll try messing with the brightness and gamma settings. It's a shame there isn't a better alternative right now.
Maybe, in the future, a developer makes a kernel with this built in (if possible). Fingers crossed! :/
For what it's worth, I think you'll find 0% brightness and halfbreed to be exactly what you're looking for.
Download twilight and try it. It has an option to lower the screen brightness further...

Bumping my own thread:
I talked to the Nexus 7 (2012) kernel dev who managed to lower the panel minimum brightness, and he pointed me toward this:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/lge-...ch/arm/mach-msm/lge/mako/board-mako-display.c
I'm hoping a Nexus 4 kernel dev will see this (or someone who knows what to do with it). He said it might be possible to do on our displays. Also, go check out M-Kernel if you still have a 2012 Nexus 7.
So, we just need to chance it and compile the kernel?

Is that your full profile? No changes to hue, saturation or contrast?
Well, I actually tweak red and green a lot to try find that sweet spot. I don't touch anything other than rgb scale although reducing saturation a little makes it look a little clean.
If anyone really experienced there have made a modification where the sRGB mode could even be improved with KCAL please do share. I like the sRGB mode as it is, but the whitepoint is far from being perfect and when you place it next to iP7 then it becomes more than clear. The default mode should be banished by the way, its the worst I have seen since them early Samsung AMOLED days.
Wish there was a profile which could place our phone near iPhone 7's accuracy/saturation/calibration.

I am sure someone has a setting for this. Just need them to find the thread and reply.
250, 238, 256 is what I use.
You will never match the iPhone 7 display. It is calibrated, at the factory, per display. We can post settings all we want, but each display can look different than another. But sRGB on the Pixel XL has a definite green bias... this helps resolve it, at least in the white balance. With my Pixel XL next to my iPhone 7 Plus, the 7 Plus is still clearly more color accurate sometimes... and other times, they look pretty close. Just turn on sRGB, adjust the white balance to your liking, and leave it alone. That's the best you can do if you want color accuracy. We lack the granular control capability to do a proper calibration, even if you had the equipment, as far as I know.

I use 246, 226, 256 to correct the green tint in sRGB mode.
Lets warm up.
I kind of miss the warmer hue my Nexus 5X had (It was, from a color accuracy standpoint, much more accurate too). The blue tint this screen has is a bit too much for my liking. After playing around for the last day or so I think I've found some settings that I like that reminds me of my N5X display.
I'm sure i'll be tweaking these slightly as time goes on, but I'm happy with what I've got so far:
Red: 235
Green: 247
Blue: 226
Saturation: 30
Value: 132
Contrast: 132
Hue: 0
sRGB: Off
?
Thank you for these profiles, they are good to test with, although every screen will be different coming from the factory. So tweaking might always be necessary.
Still, tweaking from a good base is way better than working from scratch.
Anyone using the default display mode with corrected green tint? What settings are you using?
I'm using 250, 235, 256 currently, through no delicate tweaking.
I don't like any yellowish, greenish profiles. Here are my profile, enjoy ?
Red 195
Green 178
Blue 215
Saturation 25
Value 129
Contrast 129
Hue 5

Is there anyone who knows how to mess with the settings? All I'm interested in is to get the the white really accurate and white. Compared to my HTC 10 the pixel is a bit yellow. Cheers

Are you in sRGB mode? It should be more green, not yellow.
