Hi, has anyone noticed that the half bottom of the mate 20 display has yellow tint compared to the half top? A Huawei warranty agent had already checked my mate 20. And he said that i could exchange for a new one if it does not have the same problem as my old mate 20 had. I have watched some Youtube mate 20 unboxing clips and I thought some of them had that yellow tint issue too. My two previous LCD phones have light bleeding but not the yellow tint like this. How about yours? I'm a little worried right now!

sr but it's very hard to notice that yellow tint by looking at the pictures, in spite of seeing it very clearly with bare eyes at top and bottom of the screen with all-white apps or pictures. And I have exchanged it for the new one already.:fingers-crossed:

In the first picture the defect is exagerated , the second one is a iphone XR wich seems to have the same problem and the third is the mate 20 original picture.

I think huawei lcd screen technology is bad, the new exchange phone of me still has that yellow tint just not that much like before. Do you know why is that happen?

Yes, same goes to me. I visit service center once and talk with the technician. Seem the problem occur is quite rare in my country. (malaysia). But, he ask me to keep update if the yellow tint become worst.

I have the same a slight warm white on the bottom, and a slight bleed, sometimes is difficult to see, it depends of light and brightness conditions.
So I was thinking in exchange it, so what is the odds of getting one better?

Why didn't you go for replacement, if is uncommon the odds would be great to get one perfect.
This is what I'm asking my self is it common this issues or very random.

That is what im thinking but currently they still fixing mate 20 pro bleeding issue. So, i don't think its a good time to replace due to waiting period will be longer than it should. ???

apparently the phone panel has a strong yellowish tint and to remedy that choose vivid cool .. this will make whites whiter not yellowish .. with colors set to vivid cool i still do notice the yellow tint in the lower screen and bleeding light but they are very minimal and i am called a pixel peeper .. at least this will make whites whiter not yellowish
but the other problem is the over-saturated red color .. not only that when you tilt the screen and videos is full screen contrast is enhanced and colors becomes over-saturated automatically and this makes a lot of videos looks overly saturated in landscape mode

I haven't noticed that. Seems perfect to me.

Little update, I'm in a second unity, and the screen is more uniform, but white is more a warm them the first, even trying to compensate with vivid setting and adding more blue, the color temperature is diferent.
Regarding the backlight bleeding is less visible also than the first unity.
So I think is kind of lottery having a perfect screen.

Yesterday i got a mi 8 6/128 and i found for now 2 issues till now the first one is that when i want to take slow motion video it flickers a red light like hell, the second one is the screen itself when holding the phone and looking at it straight in front the color of the screen seems a bit yellowish also the colors are a bit under saturated when i see the screen from a side view even from bottom or from any side the colors pops out and the white backround is white as it should be i think it has something to do with the front glass that covers the panel and i don't know if there is a way to fix that, i use cool color reproduction on settings but it still annoys me.

I haven't noticed any screen issues on mine, but i have taken a lot of slow motion videos (both in 120/240fps and in 1080/720p) and i've not seen a red light at all.

I just received my Mate 20 Pro today from Carphone Warehouse.
What can I say.
The colours are very washed out and "Cold". I know you can adjust the colour temperature in the settings, however even the warmest colours doesn't match the colours of my S8 Plus.
I'm not too sure what to say but I'm a bit disappointed that the colour options are so limited.
You compare this screen to the screen of the S8 Plus and you'll understand exactly what I mean.
A bit disappointed to be honest.

Just dont compare it... use it for 3 days without comparing and you will adjust... i had the same with my old nexus 6p and i realised the screen was worn out. „White“ looked like bluelightfilter on.... i had never noticed before.... its all a matter of adjustment s8 is not the holy grail of screens especially when over a year old... oled screens contain organic material and it ages/wears out
Amazing, go and watch some HDR content on youtube, you will see the screen come to life! I think they were conservative with the display profile, not too much saturation until you fire up HDR content.
I think I'm having problems with my display.

Im having some darker bars across the screen (horizontal /portrait) top is brighter than button.
It is visible in a dark room/at night only with a dark grey wallpaper.
I compared S9 plus with and on s9 plus the grey wallpaper looks even.
The mate 20 pro screen is a touch dimmer than s9 plus.
The screen otherwise looks great

It seems most are suffering with this. Unless it's really severe I'm not sure Its worth getting in a panic over. Only seen in a dark room, lowest brightness on a grey background. So not something that's gonna crop up often imo

To be honest, there's no way i will ever use the screen so dim, its barely visible in dark. My only fear is not to get worse after a while, but again there is a warranty.
How can i upload a photo?
Just for the record, I used Display Calibration by Apps Ladder app and I think it improved the overall Mate 20 Pro experience.

Hello, Please test for black crush or shadow clipping. Thank you
Having the same issue with my mate 20 pro. Came from an S8 plus and I'm highly dissapointed about the screen, colors too white and washed out. Anybody else know's how to fix this? Is it a real problem or just a matter of personal preference?

Clarity/resolution

The Xiaomi Mi 9 SE has a crazy crisp display. Just kidding, this is automated text so who knows if this screen is any good. So, you be the judge! A higher rating indicates that it's extremely sharp and clear, and that you cannot see pixels with your naked eye.

This is the first time I use a phone that has Amoled screen. I heard about color shifting which happens to Amoled screen but I still curious. Does color shifting happen to your devices ?
For mine, when I tilt the phone, even a little bit, I see the blocks of color turn from blue (cool) to pink (warm) and backward. This only happens on white background. If the view angle is 90 degree, its fine. But if it greater or smaller than that, about 60 degree, it's just like a rainbow is moving. Kind of annoying

Please post some pictures of the display at different viewing angles.
Ive been using OLED screens for the last couple of years, mostly from Samsung, as is the one on the Mi 9 SE. They have never had any issue of the sort. I have however seen such a thing on the panels used in Blackberry phones.
The SE seems like the only device out this year that ticks my boxes as far as size and display quality, i would dearly like to know if sammy is delivering sub par screens here.
I have to say i am skeptical, so some proof would be appreciated.
Incat said:
Interesting. I've never used a phone with an amoled screen, but sounds like this would put me off.
Not sure if any stores here in the UK have the mi9se that I could try out before purchasing.
Pocophone I've just bought is lovely, but just a little too big for me coming from a mi6,which is why I'm considering the mi9 se.
No headphone socket though.!

Lets see if its actually true first. Here is a very detailed review that includes many angles on the display, none show any color shifting:

That review also has some interesting info about the notification handling and the state of the currently available ROMs.

Sorry about vid quality, I recorded it by RMN 3
You can see the color turn into warm and cool blocks when I change view angle vertically

it's hard to see much wrong with that.

Honestly I'm not seeing a big problem there... But the resolution isn't great. Someone below said the A50 display at the store was better but it too has an original Sammy screen, also manufactures in Vietnam.
Mb a good quality photo?
Also, what about the issue with the notifications? Ant solution for it other than AOD?

1 month used and I think I get use to it. Maybe after I checked Mi 8, it also has the same issue. So I guess this is actually not an issue anymore
I also hope for solution replacing notification light. Heard alot about "the dot" but after many attemps with many apps, the choosen one is still missing I guess.
I have a Pixel 3. The Mi 9 SE, despite technically having a lower PPI value, is noticeably sharper. I imagine this is because it's not using the Pentile layout that the Pixel 3 screen has.

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:

I bought the phone a few days ago and it had awful yellow/orange tint on white color compared to my Redmi Note 4 Global, and it was worse with lower brightness... therefore entire color palette was off, tried to make it to be more blue in Android display color settings but no success, actually returned the phone, not this for such money. (Europe market)
I don't know why but I can't look at the screen for too long, I get a terrible headache. Also the white is not white but red. I wonder if xiaomi will acknowledge the problem and fix it via warranty
I don't consider this to be normal though ...

That's exactly how mine looked as well.
Good thing I was not alone with this...
I noticed it changed at night time. I disabled reading mode but it still changed to this colour. Same with when you watching HDR quality video in youtube.
For me it's has the same tint on all possible color settings when the brightness is low, which is driving me nuts. Too bad since it was a decent phone for the money. I cannot return it though.
I have a reddish tint on white when the color scheme is set to original.
On Auto, white is pretty much ok.

This is happening to me aswell. European version having a yellowish/red tinted screen, which doesn't get fixed with the adb commands linked by getaceres, and I also get heavy eye strain and I even feel dizzy after a while staring to the screen. I'm in the process to try to get a refund

Pulse width modulation vs current modulation. The pulse width modulation is irritating to some especially in low light. Some devices allow you to choose between the two.
This seems to have become as issue with the variable frequency displays.
What is 'DC dimming,' and why are phone screens getting it?
www.androidpolice.com
That's only available for OLED screens. My problem is not PWM, it's just the red tint. Compare it with another phone on a white background and you can see the difference right away
