I got my galaxy note when it's out early.
And I compared it with my friend's note when he just got it recently, and I realise that the colours of our screen is different when all the settings & rom is the same. Anyone knows why?

i think they are just same.. i had mine on an early release (mid November) and my friend here at work just bought a new note (white). they're both identical.

I don't know aye, if both screen is on white, mine is slightly more yellow. O.O
I think there are different screen color calibrations and gradiations on each Note.
you checked the settings under display->screen mode if they're the same also?

Many have complained about problems with the GNote's Display. Does anyone here have the white version of the GNote? How's the display?

I have/had a white one... On mine there were no probz at all.
However, i didn´t test it that crazy... No banding and no abnormal pixelation of the blacks atleast.
Atm it´s in for service... Had a complete crash... Maybe that will be the white version faults
^ What about the issue of faint horizontal and vertical lines especially on a white background at minimum / maximum brightness?
I have a white one as well. no problems at all

Have a White G NOTE ... no problems with the display!
^What is the Month of Import?
the white ones suffer from the same problems as the "blue" ones! seen two of them, both had the "classic" faults: one had a very strong tint which got worser on the right side of the screen, the other one was considerably darker and had a yellowish tint over the whole screen! both had the black clipping issue and cut the gamma test at 4 (in standard mode)!
VERY IMPORTANT:
i had a LOT notes so far, all of the screens were faulty to some extent. only 2 out of 14 had a correct (or at least much better) gamma calibration/value, but both of them had other severe problems (one side tint, unevenness)!
also to notice the "blotch errors" you have to display a black picture, go into a complete dark room, let your eyes accommodate and see for yourself!
AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO COMPARE YOU WONT BE ABLE TO TELL IF YOU HAVE COLOR TINT (only if its really dramatic), I THOUGHT A FEW TIMES MY SCREEN IS NOW REALLY GOOD IN TERMS OF COLORATION, BUT EACH TIME I WAS ABLE TO OUTPERFORM IT DRAMATICALLY WITH AN OTHER DEVICE!!
SO: IF YOU THINK YOUR SCREEN IS FINE: DO NOT COMPARE!!!
otherwise you WILL get worried!!!
just my 2c...
have a white note from movistar in Spain and has the display and camera problems.

I think you are looking for a more objective reply rather than a subjective one, I recommend you stop your search for now and probably wait a few batches later.. Maybe 4-5 months from now? If the S2 was a sign of things to improve it really did after 6 months.
I'd figure since new models are set to release, Samsung must have already addressed the problems in the newer Note sooner than it did for the S2.

I was able to check 3 brand new white colored galaxy note from 3 different local shops and they have the video issues the same as mine which the store rep confirmed after we sent the file over and had them test in their storage room, which is my primary concern.
With just a quick glance, I can easily tell those units still show lines,dirty grey renderings and yellowish/greenish bottoms on the screen, this is with an objective result, subjectively the lines are not visible when viewing pictures of anything other then grey or browsing websites with brightness not lower than 2 notches.
I dont think they can or will address this as fast as the common screen issue everyone has is very subjective to the user and only those that are noticeable get returned, some insist on using a higher brightness just to cover it up.
Boycott Samsung 'till Further Notice, LOL
Sad to say, even the latest S2 display is better than the Note. The latest S2 batch corrects a lot of the problems that existed in prior batches. I've seen it myself; thats to easy to appreciate. Too bad Samsung doesn't give a damn about their own flagship products.
EDIT: @EarlZ, not a personal question, question to Samsung, Why would I want to conceal the problems that exist by decreasing the lifespan of my product; raising the display brightness will in turn reduce the lifespan of the AMOLED Screen, lol.
Its been like 3 months or less since it came out from the market so its a given that it will take a while to improve.. give it another 2-3 months more.

On a subjective side, you dont need to do anything special just use the phone how you would normally do and if you dont see anything that bothers you or any image abnormality then simply the issue does not exist on the phone, If your a new buyer just perform the things that you normally do and might do and from there draw your own conclusion, Like others I do not know the exact ratio of good to bad screens/phones but subjectively a majority of the phones should not have any issues on the screen.
If you want to perform something more objective you need to be more open to the methods, there like 3 active threads about it you can easily read up there.
I have a white note for the last 3 days, and due to a few threads about display and other problems, I have been especially looking out for them. but so far I cannot find a single problem with the display or any of the other problems that people have been complaining about.
It was bought from Amazon Germany and shows:
Android 2.3.6
baseband n7000xxla4
kernel 2.6.35.7-n7000xxla4-cl886827 [email protected] #2
build gingerbread.xxla4
If that is of any help to anybody.
But I'm not looking at it with one eye on the screen and one on a spectrometer
just my ol eyes, which to those it looks and works fantastic.
and also my 25 year old son, his eyes should be better than mine also says it looks fantastic to him, and will be getting one soon
seeya
It seems as if the German build quality / manufacturing process of the Galaxy Note is superb! Enjoy your Note.

Hi everyone. I did search the forum for Make of Samsung phones but the ones I could find were the V/S or differences etc between Made in Korea/Made in China.
I have read (here and on other forums too) some people praising Made in Vietnam Samsung phones and some bashing it with the color banding issues (and no other issue). Whereas couldn’t find much hate for Made in Korea. Although majority had Korean versions.
All I want to know is that which make out of the two is better, in terms of the one which doesn’t have many issues. I do understand that the company has strict policies and all factories have to adhere to it to make the products uniform. Having said that, but not to forget, Samsung has also mentioned that their Vietnam factory gets the least number of returned phones.
People who have owned and have experienced the two makes, please respond here.
I expect people who own neither of the two, not to respond, as bashing will do no good to anyone. Although positive criticism is always accepted.
Thanks.
Mine is Vietnam..no issues whatsoever other than the s pen lag and black pixelation issues which almost everyone has reported from all over the world.......
Samsung phones (korean version) >> everything are made in korea.
But international version i know that made in china but finished in korea

Sorry what I meant was there's this calibration issue with the pen , when I draw something it appears off by about 3 mm unless the pen is perfectly horizontal.
No colour banding issues for me...

I have tried the s-pen myself with 2 units. What I found was that you need to hold the s-pen in, say between 45-90 degree angles. If you hold it too low, say somewhere around 20-25 degree angle, the pen won't work properly. (As in it won't be accurate)
Hmm another thread like this. You will get good and bad phones from any factory.

go for the note made in Korea!!!
my mom has a note made in Korea and she doesn't have any problems except slight banding and clipping which can be fixed with future software updates..
i have a note made in Vietnam and it's loaded with issues!!
1)pink spot on center of screen visible in white or grey background
2)red colour bleeding from right side and bottom on grey background with low brightness
3)s-pen problem..the s-pen registers touch without actually touching the screen..it registers the touch even when the s-pen is 3cm away from screen.. :banghead:

Hi.
Thanks for ur response.
But no one has mentioned sooo many issues in vietnamese makes of their Notes.
Might ur unit is faulty :s
I live in Vietnam and would not buy anything made here. .
although im sure its just fine ..
i had the speaker on my (korean made note) fixed here .. it was quick and works fine now. .
but like others have said if ur buying Samsung i would always buy Korea. .
not important
Samsung phones are usually made in Korea but it does not matter
if it is made soemwhere else.
I am sure there is no difference

Like he said, they are both manufactured under strict standards with
pre made parts. It is just assembled in different countries.
So no differerence.
I have a 4 month old vietnamese made samsung (not a note) and its nothing but a lemon. Been giving problems from day 1. Got MB replaced once and now needs MB replacement again.
Morning all,
I've recently sent back two S6s due to the pink screen tints. In the meantime moved over to a Z3, but keen to get into a Note 5 or S6+.
Just wondering if anyone had suffered from the dreaded pinking that can plague these AMOLED screens.

I see, well I'm still interested on how does it looks though.
I'm wondering whether led burning is still a problem. What is your experience on your amoled device? Are the new ones burn-free? Even after 2 years of use?
I think, it doesn't exist now.
Amoled burn-in still exists, but advancements in both the technology and production process has made it occur less often for consumers.
There are still other issues to think of other than burn-in that still exists in amoled displays today. Right now, Samsung produce the best amoled displays.

The use of a pentile matrix (Samsung amoled) for brighter display and lower power usage at the cost of image clarity. Colours are usually over saturated but can be adjusted to your liking.

Its getting worse on my note 5. Like i said i can read the icons on fb on my wifes s5. I remeber a old s3 i had though was horrible screen burned. I dont even care any more i switch devices so much i got this note5 now but 2 weeks from now i may have something else
Hey everyone,
I just got an amazo renewed s10 plus, and the phone is in great condition (Everything works perfectly) except for the fact that the screen colors are awful (not well calibrated/saturated in my opinion) and when using a brightness lower than 50% I can definitely notice a greenish tint on my screen.
I am coming from an S9+ and the S9's screen looks MUCH better. I am using "Vivid" on both devices (the "saturated" config), which is the one I enjoy, and i've tried messing with the advanced colors, but there's no way to replicate on the s10 plus a similar image to the S9
I have read a lot of posts that the s20 ultra and s10 lite had some issues with green tints that were eventually corrected via software.
Do you reckon/think this could also be a software issue or it seems much more likely to be a hardware(screen) issue?
THe model is SM-G975U1, USA Unlocked version (Snapdragon)
THanks for your help!!!

Could be, but i'm deeply interested in finding out if any other s10+ users have been experiencing this lately (thinking it may be a software issue)
THanks and looking forward to more replies!
I know there's been green screen issues popping up since the s8 or older so it's not new
If it is a software issue, you can fix it by formatting it for sure. If it is hardware, then I believe Amazon renewed products have 6 months of warranty, so it should be either replaceable from Amazon, or you can get it fixed at samsung free of cost.
So I just updated to the latest July patch and the tint and bad colors are all still present, this is definitely a hardware and not software issue in this case.
Thanks a lot for the help!

Yes even I have got the same problem.
And it got worst today after at brightness level of 20-70% it shows the greenish tint as well as horizontal lines.
If you set brightness to 10% or 75% above everything is fine..
