Screen mode - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi all
Can anyone suggest a screen mode?

No because it's a matter of personal taste. I tend to not use adaptive cause the colors are too saturated. AMOLED Cinema is the more pleasing one to me on this phone in particular

I really wish I could adjust the whites on basic or decrease the saturation on adaptive. Any ideas?

You can adjust whites on adaptive with the rgb color balance slider. I turned the white point temperature right down to 6800k. The default is around 7500 I think.

Sure, but adaptive is too saturated for my taste. I'm sticking with basic for now, but the white is quite reddish. I'm not exchanging this again as it takes over 2 weeks :c

Did you try going into the advanced setting and lowering the red with the slider?
Edit: never mind, read your comment too fast and thought you were talking about adaptive being too red.

How do change colour configuration?

Just got a Nexus 4, hate the yellow tint and washed out display. Is there a way to calibrate the screen and adjust the colours? Also, is it possible to make the screen brightness brighter? I have it set to max and it still looks dim. Lastly, is there a chart that shows recommended values to get vibrant rich looking colours?
Thanks.

You could use one of the many kernels out there, like franco, that permits color control. Well, you'll have to pay for an app(like franco kernel app) , but it's worth it.

Yeah, the extreme outdoor lights forces to go over 200 nits and saturate contrast. No way around, I think.

Minimum brightness

You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed. Rate this thread to express what you think of the ASUS ROG Phone II's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I am quite concerned about some of the comments I saw on JD.com . People say the screen is yellowish, uneven coloring and grainy which gets even worse when the brightness is low. Can anyone confirm this here?

In terms of brightness I would say it's average at best. The screen is very dim my current brightness slider is set at 80% and that is just to navigate conformabley. But I would recommend a 85 to 90% settings.
The screen isn't yellowish quite the opposite actually in comparison with my 1st generation ROG, colors are even I would say and no grain.

Hopefully it's just a software issue and will be resolved shortly. Hell, it couldn't be worse than the OP6T. And the ROG2 has around 200 nits more than the 6T. That fukn thing, you can't see **** on if its bright out. Overall, I would think the extra 2,000 mah would compensate for the higher brightness til its fixed.

But even if the brightness slider is set to 100% shouldn't consume much more battery if the screen is still dim...right?
By the way, can anyone let me know how bright is it compared to Razer Phone 1?

With 6000mah you have nothing to worry about. Reduce the refresh rate to 60 and you will get time over or equal to 10 hours standby time.
Regarding the razor phone I would think it would be much brighter because it's an LCD panel. But I am not definitive.

just got my tencent version today. the screen max and min brightness is slightly higher than my oneplus 5. uneven colour/graininess requires you to squint with your face almost stuck to the screen so its really a nonissue. white balance is pretty on point and actually a little on the cool side tho whites are almost perfect white

You can also adjust color temperature and saturation in display settings. I think this screen is awesome.

Umm everything I said is praise.
I did notice that graininess and very slight yellow shifting occurs at near minimum brightness but its really not easy to spot
Other than that the experience has been pretty amazing

The screen is excellent in my opinion, and while the maximum brightness isn't the brightest out there, it's perfectly adequate even in direct sunlight.
As far as low brightness goes, I felt like the lowest brightness was still a little too bright next to my wife in bed so I installed low brightness pro. If anyone else feels they want to go lower..
Got the phone. Definitely too bright at lowest so either use an app to add dark overlay to dim or wait for a software update I guess
Has red tint on dark theme grey on brightness below 50%

Yes it does have a red tint on dark grey colors. Visible everywhere in apps using dark theme based on grey like google apps dark mode, the rog ui itself and any dark grey on screen.
Effect is more pronounced while using 120hz. And less on other modes.

Same here, got the tencent version. Lets hope its just a software issue that future update can fix it. Im coming from s9 plus so its hard to compare the beauty of the screen.
Minimum brightness is way too high. Reference compared to nexus 5x and galaxy s7 on lowest setting. It's blinding
Rog 2 is brighter than the sun
I have a great appreciate of the capabilities of this phone, no matter what you might hear this phone has superb color rendering and there is no beating the refresh rate. When it comes to comparing how it delivers in color saturation compared to its competition all you are doing is splitting hairs... But as for its minimum brightness, well you cannot appreciate how truly bright the panel is until you are trying to write a blog post when the lights are off and your partner is asleep next to you.
With the slider all the way down its impossible to look at the screen without squinting real hard because those whites burn through your retinas and imprint on your soul. Do you like watching Netflix on your phone in bed? Not on this phone you won't. Want to read that last Facebook alert you just got after you turned the lights out? Absolutely you can do it... If you like staring at the sun that is. I sincerely hope Asus can do some sort of work around and deliver less power to the display in total darkness because light induced migrains are not fun.
Otherwise pretty good phone.

Color saturation & accuracy

If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the OnePlus 7T's display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.

My display is too warm in vivid, also in AMOLED gamut i have to set to max Coolest.
Seems like calibration issue, can anyone confirm?

Yes, and it's actually not bothering me at all.
May be this is because of that blue light reduction in display.

Yeah. The 7T has a sort of 'built in' blue light reductioner. Fiddling with the settings should quickly clear it up

Yeah ofc.
Go to Settings/Display/Screen Calibration;
Then pick 'Advanced' and choose one of the three. I chose 'Amoled Wide Gamut'
To remove the 'yellowish', go fiddle with the "Cold/Warm" bar. The colder you chose the less yellowish

Yes currently on that setting, still i feel the color accuracy iss off, a little more saturation and terrible gamma
The new update has even woresend the color accuracy in amoled mode, anyone else facing the same?
Are any of you guys facing the green-red tint issue on your screens? It happens below 50% brightness. It can be seen through this thread on oneplus forum - https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oneplus-7t-display-tint-issue-uneven-oled-not-uniform.1122487/

Do you have DC dimming on?
For those of you that have noticed the green tint, what is the best way to detect this? I have seen some posts in other forms, essentially I have had the phone for a day and I haven't seen any issues with the screen on dark mode or dim settings, just wanted to know what to look for in case of issues in 15 day return window

Open an incognito chrome tab and move to a dark room, the brightness slider has to be around 1/3 or less.
Color is perfect. I am not going out of my way to try to find problems.
I don't have any tint issues, but the colors seem a bit washed for an amoled. I prefer the screen on my OP5 better.
The green tint is a thing it all over forums of the oneplus community it seems like a panel defect and it is visible with night mode on grey or dark backgrounds you will notice it when you pull the notification shades down or just staring at the grey background its a greenish tint top and bottom part for me and in the center it kind of redish some other people have it just in the bottom some all over , i didnt notice it initially until later after two weeks of having the device dc dimming doesnt really work it helps a bit. oneplus representatives know about the issue and have said its normal which is not, its bad calibration of b grade panels from samsung a guess thats causing this mura effect or just plain defective panels it is a shame since this is my first oneplus device i read so much about it and was debating between the p30 pro and this one since i had a mate 10pro which never gave me any issues but well it is what it is and now ill just have to get use to it. bitter sweet opt7t
I wonder if this 'tint' issue is isolated to specific model / models? I have 2 HD1900 and whilst this is one time I am happy to be colour blind (not B&W type but cannot tell certain colours apart...) my other half is spot on on colours and has not noticed any of this...
I knew there was going to be certain advantages being colour blind :laugh:

Black color becomes Red in low brightness WHY?

So i noticed that when you are in a dark room and you set the brightness to the lowest (0%-20%), some dark black colors of buttons and graphics becomes Red.
You can easily see this in the setting menu honestly at lowest brightness.
Changing display color presets does change it in vivid, natural etc.
What does help is going to oneplus laboratory at bottom of settings and enabling DC dimming.
It fixes the problem but also make the gamma very very low so a lot of the objects are too dark and kinda shaded with some extra shadow.
Is my screen faulty? Any other display settings or tuning i can do?
Does this oled panel have too much technology in it up to a failt? (120hz, QHD and 1Billion colors)

I read tons of reviews for a month before buying, non of them mention this issue.
Are we just supposed to live with this on a 900 dollar phone?

I also have same problem.
Had same issue returned mine
Try turning off true tone and see
If you've got eye comfort turned on then this is normal..turn if off and it should go back to black.
