i paid n lost 900 us dollar for three sets n still nto satisfy now i should get white? i m sad

I just don't see it men, mine (N900) just look plain great.Whites:
Dynamic: bluish tint but not as notable as my old GSIII.
Standard: Still a little bluish but it is barely notable.
Professional: White but WHITE man it may be 200 Kelvin away from the 6500 standard.
Movie: well this one does indeed look yellowish to me but not even enough to note it in an everyday basis.
Read the displaymate review dudes best amoled screen ever with calibration almost near the Adobe sRGB standard.

May b

That one of the only things that I hate about Samsung, because almost all their products are either manufactured in different places or use different internals for the same phone quality standards just seem to vary too much between each one.
Phone origin:
Korea, China, Vietnam.
Battery origin:
Vietnam, Korea.
Processor:
S800, Exynos.
Etc, etc, etc it's just too many variables for me hahaha

correct me if I'm wrong..
the yellow tint you can see on black background I only see in Samsung Apps like Messages, Settings and so on. If I'm in an non Samsung App I GOT TOTAL BLACK even when viewing it in total darkness...
so I don't think its a hardware defect more an software thing...
just to be sure i tested with an LCD/AMOLED screen tester app and when showing the black IT's ALL BLACK
I don't see any uneven tint in gray, white or any other color..... ONLY the yellow uneven tint on black background in settings, messaging...
I've had over 10 difference NOTE 3 in my hands trough work and the all had the same yellow tint
ohh one more thing this is ONLY REALLY VISIBLE IN POOR LIGHTNING OR DARK ENVIRONMENTS

I notice it in the play store and chrome too...

I used to have a Galaxy Nexus which suffered from a yellow tint problem. I got several replacement units but they were all the same. My carrier refused to acknowledge it as a fault until a few months later when I saw a friend's Galaxy Nexus without the issue. I took a photo of the two phones side-by-side and sent it to my carrier. They finally admitted the problem and sent me a Galaxy Note 2 as a replacement phone.
I think that there are sometimes manufacturing issues with amoled screens. In my case, there was clearly an entire batch of phones with the problem.
The best thing to do is to go to a retailer (not the same retailer where you bought yours) and ask them nicely to show you a Galaxy Note 3 so you can compare the quality of the screen. Take a digital camera with you and if the units are different, take a photo of them side-by-side. Sent the photo to the retailer you got your phone from, or to Samsung (assuming you haven't tripped the Knox flag and if you have you might be covered anyway if you're in the EU) and ask for a replacement from a different batch.

Turn Off "Reading Mode"
Mine is perfectly white.

I have a sm n900w8, an? the acreen is perfect, black is always black, white is always white, where did you get your phone? this might be a software issue, some apps rendering those wrong colors, otherwise take your device to your retailer or carrier

Just Remove the phone from Power Saving Mode - The Yellow tint will go away

yellow tent screen .. white color is more yellowish

I have the note 3 n900 and i notice that the white color on the screen has an obvious yellow tint so i compare it with galaxy tab 2 10 inch and galaxy mega 5.8 inch ... and both devices shows the white color like a normal white not having this yellow tent on white color like my note 3 and the white color is more bright than my note 3 ... and i set the screen mod to dynamic mod cause its the least yellow tint of all other mods like standard or even adaptive mod.. so i don't know ... is it only my device or all note 3 devices are like that and do u compare its screen it with other samsung devicrs

I had a Galaxy S2, had yellowish tint on the display. I am unsure whether it had two variants or not, but I had the one which was officially sold in my country.
I had a Note 2, Exynos, yellowish tint was there but in less extent.
I had an S4, Exynos, there was almost no yellowish tint, at least that's what I can remember.
Now I have a Note 3, I don't have any yellowish tint at all, and I use movie mode. Turning on Adapt display or Dynamic makes the screen irritatingly cool/bluish. Honestly I could not be more happy with a phone's colour reproduction.
However I read a lot, and I saw that a lot of people possessing the Exynos variant, which is yours, are having this problem on GSMArena Note 3 page. You can see for yourself, just go back few pages. I think it has something to do with Exynos models only? Cause I have never heard a person having a Snapdragon variant complaining about this issue.
You can ask Samsung CC to replace the phone, only if you can show them how a display without any tint looks like, cause they are both arrogant and dumb.

Thanks 4 ur reply

Keep in mind that the Tab and Mega are LCD, not AMOLED. LCD has a pale blue hue, whereas AMOLED is much, much more saturated.
You really should compare it to another N900 unit, or an N9005.
As mentioned above, this is a problem that occurs on the Exynos version, but not the Snapdragon.

Xiaomi mi note 2 oled screen issue ( Yellow Tint with Horizontal Lines )

I just recently bought mi note 2 ( Black 128gb , 6gb ) , i am very disappointed that i got it with defective screen i think, there is a yellow tint on the bottom and the screen shows some horizontal lines whenever the brightness is low, also the screen is not sharp compared to my 5.5 inch oneplus3 . however when i increase the brightness , i dont see those lines and yellow tint becomes much less . is that hardware or software issue ? is there a way to fix it without changing the screen ?

Any pictures?

Hi.
For the first step, you should do a factory reset.
If the problem still available, At the second step, flash the latest official ROM.
if the problem do not solved by this treatment. then yo have a hardware failure and the device should be send for replacement hardware product .
good luck.

Hello, I have the same issue, when the bright is low I can appreciate these horizontal lines. Could you fix it????? Thankss

Any solution? New flashing does not work - the issue is also at the fastboot mode... I thought it is a hardware problem...

Sorry for offtopic but may I ask which case/brand (link if possible ) you use? Looks like its protecting the phone nicely with the raised borders around the screen :good:

Sorry to dig up this old thread. Here to share my experience. I have the same problem as well. Faint, grainy grey lines become more obvious as the brightness becomes lower. Went to xiaomi's service centre and they offered to replace my screen as it is deem as a hardware failure.

Latest batch of Pixel 2 XL's still have screen issues

Here is my two hour old Pixel 2 XL VS Huawei Mate 9. My pixel has a build date of 10/12/2017.
Dead on:
[Pictures took a dump]
Slight tilt:
[Pictures took a dump]
Google RMAed my phone after I sent them those pictures.
UPDATE:
1. All OLED have some sort of color shift.
2. Not all OLED screens have a strong color shift
3. Not all Pixel Two XL's are created equal. Some have more color shift than others.
4. This is the only good phone on Verizon that will have custom ROM support.
5. Anyone on a GSM carrier should learn to live with the color shift or buy a OnePlus device.
6. LG still has QC issues on ever phone they make.
My replacement device still has a blue tint but it is better than my original device.
Overall this is the best phone on the market currently with Verizon support. I got to use my dad's iPhone X today and iOS is not ready for a phone without a home button.
Update 12/17/17:
I am on my third device and all three had noticable blue shift. The second device had screen burn in.

Dead on???

Viewing angle.

Sorry for dumb question. What differences am I looking for between the pictures?

I just got mine today in US. I honestly don't have any complaints with mine. I downloaded Oreo Colorizer to give the display a wider range of colors, which works for now. I'm sure Google will address the colors with an update. As for the tint, maybe I'm just not seeing it, but this screen looks gorgeous to me at all angles.

The pixel two XL has a blue tint notably on the top of the screen when looking at an angle. The mate 9 has no such tint.

My V30 has the same blue tint issue. It won't change unless Google decides to switch display partners

The blue tint is from the polarizer. If you want a new screen, let it be for another reason - you have a few to chose from, potentially.

Got my phone today. The display looks great!

we need everyone to start posting the hardware version that are having issues. Under About Phone -> Model. Mine shows hardware revision 10. I have no issues so far.

I'm also hardware revision 10. The blue tint is there, but it's much more subtle in person than what I was expecting based upon the videos and pictures I saw before getting the phone. I don't know if it means I have an updated version with the display issue toned down, however. But I thought it was worth mentioning.

Right. I figure at least we can track revisions this way and can determine when its changed and if its better.

If the blue tint was from the polarizer, wouldn't all LCD screens suffer this? LG has plenty of experience making LCD screens, the majority of which polarizers do not cause this blue shift.
Could blue tint also come from using plastic as substrate and potentially being less transparent to longer wavelengths than glass? Viewing at a less than 90° angle increasing the amount of plastic the light has to travel through and thus potentially filtering out more of the lower energy (longer, red-er) wavelengths?

Mine is rev 10 as well. I'm starting to get use to the blue tint. I am very curious to see what differences the replacement device will have. The one I have now is a Canadian model even though I am in the US.

That makes sense to me. I had heard about the polarizer and wondered what if anything that would do to the look of the screen.

It would take awhile before anyone starts seeing revised versions and that's even if Google does anything about it. I have a feeling they probably won't do any major hardware revisions and just push a software update out for screen saturation.

It would be good to mention build date as well. Fixes in production quality (both display plant and phone assembly) will not increase hw version. HW-version increases when the hw-design is changed by R&D (new PCB, changed components etc).

But these issues are not new to Google, of course they have seen these issues during normal internal testing and beta test.
And some issues might be basic production issues solved in the next batches.
Regardless, it is very difficult to predict what happens and when.
Also sad to see that Google does not respond at all so far.

Might be dumb question but we're do I find my build date.My XL 2 has the screen burn in ,the blue tint , and now while on phone call loud pitch and phone reboots 2 to 3 times a day .Google shipped me a new replacement arriving today see if there's any difference.Google has been very accommodating but still in denial there's a real problem

Pretty much all screens use a standard polarizer, the Pixel 2 phones use circular polarization, however if it was the polarizer you would expect it on the Pixel 2 non-XL model as well, so I don't think it is the polarizer, but who knows, maybe it is an interaction between the circular polarizer and the POLED vs the SAMOLED.

Why are the Pixel 4 screens so poor in terms of uniformity?

So I got my.hands on a pixel 3 earlier this year and had nothing but problems with the screen in terms of overall uniformity. Pink splotches or top half pink bottom half normal.
Fast forward 9 months I thought I'd give the Pixel 4 a go. Newer tech, thought these issues would have been ironed out, but obviously not.
My Pixel 4 - https://ibb.co/cCHHrRg
- Brightness around 20%
- Smooth display on
- Night light off.
Top left looks pink whilst the bottom right almost looks greeny?
I can't surely be the only one who has these issues?
Really not sure whether to return the phone for a refund or to take a gamble and get a replacement. The thought of playing the lottery again and constantly losing is a major put off.
I do miss the Pixel Line and the S10e just doesn't feel the same!
Has anyone experienced any similar issues?

Sure! mine looks similar especially at night with low brightness it even has bleeding and flashes light (try to do it yourself, go to gallery on a totally black picture, put the brightness at maximum and see yourself, pixel should be off, and they are on instead and they even flash white sometimes)
hope next batches of products will not have these issues

Why accept that thought on a product that cost as much as it did!?

I'm such a big fan of Google, I had pixel 2 and 3xl, I bought the pixel 4 hoping that the camera and the whole hardware would be great, but for the price we paid it..
Not so worth imo
Thinking about moving to iPhone 11 pro, the camera so really good and is overpriced just like the pixel 4.

I love the Pixel line for the software but the hardware is trash.
Another photo I took earlier.
https://pasteboard.co/IMVRgiI.jpg

I can not reproduce this to the extent your photograph is showing.
While I can discern the border between the 'forehead' and the screen, it's only there if I look at it a lot closer and more intently than I would during normal use.
I've not seen any pixels flashing, perhaps you have a faulty display/connector, I'd be looking into that before using your screen as an example of all Pixel 4's having issues with their display.
I'd like to add that I think it's odd that your screenshot shows a darker black behind the legacy software buttons you've enabled at the bottom of the screen than the rest of your screen shows - odd because both areas are displayed by the screen, they should be equally black.
Finally, perhaps you should look into taking a new picture where your highlights aren't blown / your image isn't overexposed, I think it's likely there's something wrong with your RGB channels.
I'm rather enjoying my Pixel 4, while it might not be a huge upgrade from the Pixel 3 you seem to come from, I come from a Moto G3 (2015), which means it's a world of difference for me. The only drawback I can think of is the battery life, but both during and outside of work hours I'm near chargers often enough for it to matter little. I'd say calling the hardware "trash" is a bit of an exaggeration, as much of an exaggeration as your photographed proof appears to me
Merry Christmas!

The smaller Pixel 4 uses an LG OLED panel (which has gotten better year after year of Google using them on their Pixel devices, but have notoriously exhibited uniformity issues across the screen -much more so than the Samsung panel the 4XL uses). That said, thankfully I don't have that red/magenta tint that seems to be fairly common for this panel (search reddit). I do however have the green tint that seems to come from the bottom of the panel up (that is a software issue caused by bad calibration of the 90hz display -regardless of whether you have 90hz on or not). It is more prominent on some screens than others, but it seems that most/all Pixel 4s suffer from that.
Anyway, I agree that Google just can't get their hardware right and, frankly, it's because they don't care. They just want people to focus on all their software innovations and since no one makes Google Play Edition phones anymore, we're stuck with their poor design and implementation.
