Hi there,
The Galaxy Note is my first phone with a LED screen, I had a Desire HD before.
Since I got my Galaxy Note, the screen seems a bit yellowish to me.
When you tilt it a little bit to the side, you see the while colors becomes more white, but when you tilt it back, so the screen is right in front of you, then the white colors looks a bit yellowish again.
Is this normal for a LED screen?
I don't like the yellowish tint at all, but for the rest the screen looks amazing.
Thanks for your answers
Hmm I don't really notice any sort of yellow tint on my screen but then again I'm not the most color observant person . What you can try is go int settings==>display==>screen mode and change it from standard to dynamic or movie. I have it on dynamic and love it.

Yea I already tried dynamic mode, it makes the yellowish tint a little less, but it's still there.
You can notice it by yourself by tilting the phone.
Just put something on your screen that has a white color, and watch the screen from the side, it looks much nicer then.
Ohyea, by the way.
You can also notice the yellowish very good if you put the screen mode on movie
Just got my Galaxy Note N7000 today and noticed the same issue on mine. Tilting the screen slightly makes the whites look pure white while in its normal position the screen looks kinda yellow. I am not being able to understand if this is a faulty set or not
SAMOLED screens are supposed to have superior viewing angles, it is believed that the Oleophobic coating is causing the green/blue/yellow tinting that you see when the phone is tilted ( well in your case its a direct view ) my first screen had absolutely no color shift even at the most extreme angles, the new one I have now has a blue tint unless directly viewed.
The norm is supposed to have great viewing angles and only shift in really extreme and non usable angles.

So what you are saying here is that we should use our phone while we keep it tilted? LOL

Well, you don't have to be upset like that.
What I'm trying to say is that if you tilt the phone, it has great colors.
But when you look straight onto the screen, you see a yellowish screen.
Your conclusion is that the viewing angle are very good, and only shift in really extreme and non usable angles.
Looking straight onto the screen should not be a non usable angle.
And Im not the only one who's saying it, but when you tilt the phone, the colors looks much nicer.
Im not upset, I just found it amusing why it was not understood right off the bat.
Have your screen/phone replaced, thats clearly a quality control issue.

But I just got it new, and more people are complaining about it (also some outside xda).
So I am wondering if it worths it to replace it, because it can happen again.

Interesting.
Actually I'm not a whiner, so I can live with the tint for 2 years, but still...
If I will be in the center of my city, I will ask the phone store what they think, and what they will do to solve it.

True.
But I don't expect a device to be defect when it is just new.
Still there are also some people that say it is normal.
I also got a friend, he's a designer, and works with photoshop etc, and colors are very important to him.
I also told him about this issue, he said it happens more with screen, and it is seen as normal for these screens where it appears with.

He does have a point normally a screen comes in warm,cool and neutral depending on the factory calibration. These things can be normal as long as the user accepts them to be.

No problem, Keep us posted on whatever you decide.
I've had four blue Galaxy Notes and one white and they all exhibit varying degrees of tint with some less noticeable than others. Some have a more warmish yellow tint while others are cooler with more of a blue tint. It was the same way on the Galaxy S2. The best you can hope for in getting a replacement is one that has a tint that's less noticeable or if you prefer a cooler tint to the warmer tint.

What are these screens supposed to look like? Mine seems OK except the touchscreen goes unresponsive at times. Also, colors are pretty dull and this thing has greys and gamma like a much inferior screen. Didn't reviews say the screen had great blacks, etc? I font have the ghost white hue glitch but it just seems generally washed out to me. Can others chime in?
Also, I know its a great deal so please don't flame, I want to just find out if others have a better experience or that mine is on the more defective end.

Everything you just said is highly subjective. I love my screen. I think it's great. You may look at it and say its washed out and generally inferior. If you can't post pictures, there's nothing anyone here can do to help you sir. Some people undoubtedly are coming from ultra-high-end screens and will find this one lacking. Most, I think, do not.
My camera doesn't pick it up well but the Black's are not all that dark. I just thought the colors would be a little more saturated. This screen really doesn't look much better than a nook tablet. Its got higher resolution but the color and gamma and blacks are about the same. I guess I will find out once the replacement comes due to the touch issues.

I've owned many different devices and my n7 is a bit washed out but not bad given the price. Hoping nice more dev builds up we can start playing around with fine tuning the screen
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
The screen is easily the Nexus 7's weakest link, but considering the price... it's awesome. It took a little bit to get used to coming from the iPad 3 and its absolutely glorious screen, but I couldn't be happier with my N7.
Glad I'm not the only one that noticed the screen. My biggest problem though is the occasional unresponsiveness of the touchscreen. I'll check on the differences when I get a replacement sent to me. Thanks all for the replies

I only notice the screen not looking great when I turn down the brightness to about 10-20%. On full brightness it looks amazing though...but I can deal with a little less than vibrant colors on my day-to-day use in order to extend the battery life.
Just glad we have 1280 vs the 1024 the Galaxy Tab 2 7 is using which is just a no go.

Have you played the Transformers movie at 30% to 50% brightness because I was blown away by the display when I did that?
The washed out screen was too much for me. I own the galaxy nexus and going from a super AMOLED screen to IPS was very jarring. The light bleeding on the Nexus 7 was pretty bad too, and when you touch the screen you get the 'air pocket' effect. The panel is definitely the worst thing about the device. I got the Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 instead and put CM9 on it, so much happier that I get deep deep blacks and can use it in landscape mode as well. Overall it is a much better tablet, I actually prefer watching movies on it than my 46inch Bravia TV :laugh: Its a very surreal experience, you have to see it to truly understand how amazing it looks

Same for me, if I didn't own a HTC One X, this would be the best screen I've owned on an android device.
But the fact I have a Motorola Xoom too, my Nexus 7 screen is much better!

N7 screen is in fact a bit dull and washed out, especially on lower brightness (the fact that automatic backlight is calibrated as pretty dim does not help either).
The colours are much, much less vibrant as on my One X (but this phone has really got a top-end gorgeous screen).
However, screen on N7 is noticeably better than on Motorola Xoom in terms of color reproduction and viewing angles.

Ok, I'll agree here on auto brightness.
It was also too dull & washed out for me.
However, 50% fixed brightness is actually very bright and makes the colours great in my opinion.

Are colors better on tab 2 7.0?
Nexus 7 has no green
Two things I've noticed about my screen so far, that makes me wonder if we're dealing with defective screens rather than just plain poor quality ones.
First, load an app or picture onto the device that just displays pure 0,0,255 green (if you search for 'dead pixel' I think the first or second app has options to display a solid colour). I find my Nexus is completely unable to display the green properly, instead showing an extremely washed out pastel shade. I've tested this with red and blue and neither of those suffer anything like the same issue as green does. This might be what is contributing to the weird washed out/off-colour look.
Second, this is purely anecdotal, but it seems like the brightness setting of the Nexus is purely software after around the halfway mark. You can easily see the backlight ramping up from 0-50% but beyond that just seems to be a gamma change, which doesn't brighten the screen at all and instead just washes it out further.
If anyone could follow up on these and post their own tests we might be able to get a better idea of where the real issues with this tablet lie. Or whether mine is just a little bit more broken than everyone else's.

I didn't have a bad device, I had a problem with the IPS technology used in the Nexus 7. If you compare a Super AMOLED plus screen to IPS it looks washed out, and the blacks are pretty poor...Also, you will always get a little bit of light bleeding because of the technology.

That's normal.
Im very picky so first I notice a tiny chip in the surrounding metal and I can feel it by hand, but I thought oh well this is ok if the screen is perfect. but then when I turned the brightness to max, I noticed light bleed at the upper corner. It's also noticeable at 50%. RMA asap.. shame I just got it today, the replacement could take up to 3-5 weeks. Actually I ordered this for my bro who is oversea so I need to get the replacement before the last week of january for my uncle to bring it oversea to him, and this makes me worried if it takes till february. I don't wanna send a defected one to my bro and he's really looking forward to this.

This is the extent of my light bleed (pic below).
I've decided to keep it regardless; I don't invest much time looking at a blank screen when using my phone but if your brother does, godspeed and good luck.

Turn any LCD to full brightness and you get it, the only reason you don't see it from the media is they all have auto brightness on which solely exists to hide this IMO..
If it bothers you then use OLED.

Wao... actually mine is better than this (only 1 at the top right corner). But consider this is a phone ..light bleed is not acceptable whatsoever. On a tablet it might be ok. I can keep this N4 till I het the replacement. Hopefully the replacement will be better.

You might be right... I have a S3 and there's zero light bleed on every unit ive seen (3 total) since its amoled. Ive never owned a lcd phone so I dont know. But if this is a common issue for lcd screen then im ok with that. I just dont wanna buy a defected one.

Auto brightness exists to save battery and increase brightness only when necessary, not hide light bleed

My HTC ReZound had no light bleed, and neither did my LG Spectrum... both of which use 720p LCD panels, though slightly smaller ones. So, I'm a little frustrated.

any amoled cannot have light bleeding because the technology works differently.
LCD screens have a light behind a liquid display the display cannot emit light and requires an alternative light source to be behind it to shine through so think of it as a sandwich (backlight) / LCD / (glass)
ideally there should be material that prevents most of the light from escaping around the LCD itself however its not a 100% seal hence you get light on the edges; small devices like phones its more noticeable cause the light does not need to travel as far making the issue seem worse. generally this is a normal part of LCD technology however if it is EXTREME you should RMA some light bleeding is normal extreme light bleed is not.
AMOLED Does not have a back light so there is no external light source that can leak out around the screen itself instead the individual pixels emit the light hence AMOLED will never have light bleeding.
so if you have a little light bleed dont RMA you might get something worse and yours is most likely fine; your just complaining about a normal and acceptable flaw in LCD tech.
I've owned 3 different n4's and they all had light bleed. Noticed all had them in the right top corner, with one unit having more bleed at the bottom left. Don't rma it unless it's pretty bad
Picked up my HTC One today and loving it so far, except I've noticed one thing - faint grey lines running across the screen, most notable against a white background (my attention was drawn to them in 'settings').

Yeah on a white background I have the feint grey-ish lines. I think it's the digitiser.
Huh, interesting! I've never seen that before specifically looking for it but yeah, there they are. Boy are they faint though... Like you have to really look for them and have a PURE white background (for mine at least)
They do indeed correspond perfectly to the digitizer lines I was looking at on my phone earlier today ironically! If you tilt the phone on an angle under bright sun light you'll see the horizontal lines of the digitizer under the glass which match the locations. I can't imagine them being related to the backlight though because you can't see the physical structure behind the LEDs when they're on. Try seeing the back inside of a light bulb when it's on ).
Worry not I'd say.

Basically it's nothing to worry about. It's a small disturbance which is needed for your touch screen. If only they could intergrade this better like AMOLED screens do .
Definitely NOT a deal breaker!

It's definitely a deal breaker for me, I never had this kind of problem with my past phones that I used, including Iphone 4, iphone 5, GS2, GS3 and Galaxy note 1. They all have beautiful perfect screen, no smudge like brownish or grayish line and never have any problem on hardware side whatsoever.
Only with HTC One that I exchanged 3 time and still have the same problem and come with an addition of stuck pixel. Don't get me wrong, I truly love this phone, but this is too much for me, I feel like going backward if I were to use this phone daily and pretend that it's normal. they need to do something with their QA until then I'm done with HTC.
For those who are seeing these grey lines, how are they oriented on your screens? Mine has diagonal lines across the entire screen, which seems really odd to me. They're especially visible on white and light backgrounds. They almost look like fingerprints, excpet that they're under the screen surface...
The thing is, this is my second One (returned the first due to stuck pixels) and I never noticed lines like these on the first one, even though I scoured the screen very closely looking for dead/stuck pixels.

The are horizontal lines. The thing is when you are looking for a dead pixel you will not notice the lines. Look under a bright light you will see the touch sensor under the glass .
I can't see any lines on a white background. Digitiser lines are visible, barely, in bright sunlight at really harsh angles. I'd take this over the burn in and ghosting present on all AMOLED screens including the GS4 , any day of the week.

It's definitely a deal breaker for me, I never had this kind of problem with my past phones that I used, including Iphone 4, iphone 5, GS2, GS3 and Galaxy note 1. They all have beautiful perfect screen, no smudge like brownish or grayish line and never have any problem on hardware side whatsoever.
Only with HTC One that I exchanged 3 time and still have the same problem and come with an addition of stuck pixel. Don't get me wrong, I truly love this phone, but this is too much for me, I feel like going backward if I were to use this phone daily and pretend that it's normal. they need to do something with their QA until then I'm done with HTC.

If you never had screen issues on SGS2 and SGS3, as well as galaxy note 1, then you are extremely lucky, and now you are extremely unlucky to have issues with the ONE. Burn in and ghosting is present on all samsung amoled displays.

Yeah, that's different from the issue I'm having then. The lines I'm seeing on my screen are visible on bright backgrounds and like I said, they're diagonal.
Anyone else's display seem to have a yellowish tint? Mine seems very yellow looking at it straight on. But when I look at it angled either from the bottom or top it looks perfectly white with just a slight bluish tint. Either way it looks much better than yellow.
So what I'm trying to figure out is of I got a bad unit and if I should go get a new one. Only reason I am even considering not exchanging is the whole "scratchgate" bs.
Anyone care to weigh in?
BTW I have the 64gb black.

Comparing mine next to my LG g3 I noticed a yellow tint as well. Not a deal breaker for me as I rarely compare screen to screen but I've owned a gs2,gs3, and gs4 and there is always some yellowish tint discussion that pops up. You can keep exchanging until you get a more bluish tone but I don't have the energy any more lol. Screen still looks great to me!!
Blame AMOLED tech. Your options right now are a slightly yellow screen with generally more accurate color reproduction or a slightly blue screen with less accurate overall color reproduction but mildly more pleasant whites (to most people).
It wouldn't be a big deal but its really bad because its centered. By that I mean when I look at all the different sides from straight on I can tell they are more blueish and it makes the center look even more yellowed. I realize the amoleds generally run warmer in tone but it seems to me that the whole screen should at least carry the same tone from the same angle. Obviously because of the curved nature the color will shift on the actual edges of the screen but everything else ought to be the same color/tone.
Or am I totally off base here?

Return your phone and get a different brand?

Doesn't really answer the question which is...
A: is it possible that my display is defective since it really only shows a warm yellow tone in the center most portion of the screen?
B: is this going to be true for all sgs6e's or is there a chance of having one where the tone is the same throughout the entire display face.
I understand color shifting and how is inevitable, but I would at least like my screen to have the same tone from top to bottom (obviously the edges will have a different tone done they are being seen at an angle when viewing the phone head on) rather than Top:Cold Middle:Warm Bottom:Cold

Just turned on Adaptive Display which seems to make the whole screen more uniform in tone temperature however angles are still a bit of a..... well..... bi*** because they remind me of the pure white coloring I've grown to know so well. But I suppose this is far more livable than before which was almost unbearable (thanks OCD).
May still try to swap for a new unit in a week or so just to see if anything has changed.

I have s6 edge too (32gigs black) (Indian Variant) and I also have the same problem. Coming from note 4 so this yellowish tint really is deal breaker for me!
you sure it isnt the adaptive screen setting?
what I found is if you are using the adaptive screen mode and reading a webpage w/ lots of text, it sometimes will change the tint to warmer which ends up with a yellowish screen instead of white, which may cause you to think that the screen is yellow (thats what I thought the first time I saw it)
try to change the screen type to some other settings and see if that get you the white color?
I am having the same problem. I know it's a defective screen because I have two S6 Edges here.
My black sapphire 32 gb has a white screen
My new gold platinum 64 gb has a yellow screen and its very annoying. I'm probably gonna exchange it

Hello . Please do tell if you use a screen protector film or glass . Cause i have the exact same problem and everybody saye it's the protector but i dont think so . It happend after a bootloop and because the phone turned too hot before i download the stock rom i decided to put it in refrigerator. Battey ran out and when It realized it the phone was too cold maybe next to 0 degree . After the flash was done I noticed the color has changed . So I'm kinda unsure
