Moto g 4 plus: screen is much yellowish (warm)

I've started using this phone yesterday. There seems to be a yellowish tint on the screen. Also, the brightness fluctuates at times while browsing. The Screen in its entirety has a warm color to it. The whites don't appear truly white, they have a yellowish tint to them.
Anyone facing similar issues/ knows how to resolve them?

Go to settings, then display and then change the color mode to Vibrant. It serves its purpose in Moto G4 Plus! If your yellowish tint is still not gone, then it must be the screen guard which you might have applied. Always go for Tempered Glass protector or even the Glossy to get that pure vibrant experience on the phone. Never go for Matte as it makes the view dull and pale. Good luck!

Dude, yellowish tint on LCD displays is not exclusive for a Moto G4 line. It´s a manufacturing process and could came yellowish or blue tint on it...
If you want a non yellowish display, go for amoled display phones and u be safe.
If you don´t like yellow tint, try to call a replacement, and maybe, next time u get a non yellow tint display...
Or try to use an app called screen adjuster free avaiable for free on playstore. With the app, u can adjust colors on display at your own taste...

thank you for the tips! I have reviewed and agree with you : the amoled displays are sharper !
I have researched this problem and the amount of posts and videos on youtube about this issue is amazing !!
I installed the recommended program for you but did not get a good fit. I'll keep trying !!

Below I share one video found on youtube about the problem:

Yellow Screen Tint

I've my XT1572 purchased in July, 2016. I notice a yellowish tint on screen. However, my other friend who has XT1572 too doesn't has any yellow tint and the whites look truely white instead of any other color's tint. So is my display defective? Is there anyone else who is having the same issue? My phone as well as his phone isn't rooted nor any modifications are done to any. I've started this thread because most of the threads on yellowish screen tint in Moto X Style are from countries other than India. So if any Indian XT1572 user has faced the same issue, please help with the same.

I had it... But i replaced my device.. Now it's bright and beautiful.. There's no solution for it. You can either replace the handset ( if possible ) or can change the display from service center

My replacement period is already gone. So changing the display would do I guess. Do you have any idea how long it could take to change the display?

It depends on your location. Go and check

My screen felt slightly yellow too from what I was used to on a Oneplus one. So I installed frankenkernel and KCAL color control, now my display has pure whites and colors almost look like an amoled screen.
But if its super yellow and you think its a hardware issue and not calibration you should exchange it.

Good to know that. I checked it with another MXPE and a OnePlus Two, both had pure white, mine instantly looked yellow on bring the devices close to each other for comparison. Also my XPE has a bit of screen bleeding on left side beezel.

Screen burn

Ever since nougat update I can see screen burn in top right where time is displayed. What do you guys recommend? Should I use warranty? Will it increase?

Me too have this problem

I've once replaced. The replacement screen started burn-in after one month.

It is a common problem with every LCD hd displays and amoled displays

The software puts a lot of brightness in the screen, and the screen can't handle this. Use the Bluelight Filter app with the black filter in 5%. The LCD of this phone is not designed to support super white-brightness screen.

Has anyone who used the application had any problems again?

I've used it. Almost no burn in but you can see some if you observe closely. Now i just use color calibration in custom roms.

LG G6 light bleed?

Anyone else have this on the AOD? Not a huge deal, just curious. Sorry for the low quality photo...

I do! Only on AOD though. Any other black screen I have no bleed at all, but for some reason AOD likes to give off some.

Got the same bleeding on mine as well

Very common on LCD panel screen. My first two V20 got it, just different corner.

Don't have it there but I have it along the top side of the screen but it doesn't look that bad.

I believe that is just the nature of design. I've read elsewhere that light bleed is almost impossible to avoid 100% with IPS displays.

Mine doesn't have that but it does have a screen that isn't uniform. The bottom of the screen right above the navigation bar has a warm tint to it making it look sort of yellow compared to the rest of the screen. I'm returning it. I can't look at a screen that isn't uniform. The AOD looks fine though. If the replacement I get has the light bleed on the AOD I'll be returning it.

It's not a light bleed.
It's a special LED only lightning up, when AOD display is enabled.
When seen at 0 LUX your eyes will see it lightning up from bottom. This way the phone won't use the full backlight of the display to only light up at night. It's a side effect from not having AMOLED display.

It is as duckstardeluxe says

I am not sure if this is from the lighting zones on HDR displays, or if LG implemented extra leds at the bottom of the display just for the AOD. Pretty nifty trick to get low light and power consumption on an IPS panel.
The light streak effect that looks like light bleed is due to light falloff as it moves from the bottom LED through the diffuser behind the LCD. So nothing wrong with your displays.
If you want to test light bleed; open a full screen black image in a very dark room. My screen lighting was perfectly even.

mine is exact the same. glad that im not the only one i was ready to send it back lol

Same thing here

Nothing wrong with your phone, it's normal behavior for LCD displays. It's not AMOLED.

My G6 has it at the same place. I think it's the way AOD is implemented.

Screen ghosting/ image Retention

So, I am 1 unlucky in 1000 who has a tianma lcd panel and facing screen ghosting since one month after buying the Note 7. Is there any software fix for this? I heard Redmi note 4x has similar issue. It doesn't affect performence but unpleasing to the eyes. I am not looking forward to replace the lcd as the phone us still brand new. It is imported, so there’s no way to return it. Thanks in advance.

Same thing is happening to me, sadly... Don't think there's a way to solve this through software, as it's a hardware issue

Bought Redmi Note 7S (Lavander) Onyx Black 4GB/64GB Yesterday , Faced Touch Ghosting.
Edit : Requested For Replacement * From Flipkart.

Actually, I did a little goof. Turns out I have a BOE panel instead of Tianma which is good, but even on that panel, I still get some ghosting... so I can't imagine how bad it must be for the worst panels Guess that's what you get when you cheap out on a phone

Why not get a replacement? They would've replaced/fix it anyways

Wouldn't I need to pay for the replacement? Or if covered under warranty as it's a manufacturing issue?

So basicly even if you replace the phone under warranty, you will get the same panel and the ghost screen will be there again after some use?

you can use this tips to modify the display color a little, to minimize the ghosting effect.
I have tianma with pretty nasty retention, and modifying the display kcal does the job.
**You need use custom kernel with kernel manager or simply a LOS-based ROM to apply this mod.

I have tianma, everything just looked fine, this is only "things" , not she or he , so for me just use it

Fix for now
I thought I was the only one. Bought this device from China and started having this issue after around 4 months.
The problem does not occur with pitch black wallpaper.
I did some research and found this app (Ghost screen).
It's not in play store.
https://apkhome.net/ghostscreen-1-0-1-4/
I do not face the problem anymore.
Try it. And let us know.

Image retention is gone when you do this. Its a must to do this if you are facing the issue.

Pls what Los ROM in particular

Image retention
Solution in Pixel Experience Rom
I found a workaround in the pixel experience rom without any apps .
Go to Settings > Display > Live display > Colour Calibration > and set all 3 values to 92.

Weird. I have a Tianma display, yet I am not experiencing any noticeable ghosting. Maybe your screen is faulty.
