my z1 looks the same as yours. the whitest the screen the worst are the viewing angles. :\

My Z1 is nowhere near as bad as yours. Warmer colours tend to be a bit washed out, but you can still easily read both grey and black text from about the same angles as in your photos. My screen is much colder than yours too, not as much blue as with your ultra though.

[Q] Stuck pixel, worth returning?

It's very tiny and the it's in the top left corner in case you can't see it. Since it's only visible on a black screen at certain angles, I don't know if it's worth returning the device, especially since I'm on CM10.1 now. What do you guys think?

I have one in the upper left on the tool bar.. I only see it when I did a dead pixel test.. I never notice it in games or apps.. I have to go looking for it to see it so it's no big deal to me at this point.

Thats pretty much how I feel. There's actually a second one in the middle but both don't seem to bother me much. Hooray for such a high PPI I guess.

Is this image retention?

I am noticing a burned in bar on the lower half of the screen. I am not sure what to make of this? Could this just be an issue with AMOLED panels? It's not very noticeable unless you look for it, but it is definitely there. Look very hard and you'll see a bar. Would love some opinions on this.

I can't really see anything. Pictures are distorted.
Warranty it
My Galaxy S2 has the same thing.

If it is image retention you need to warranty it. Phones shouldn't get that (even amoleds) until they're a few years old (or you've had the screen turned on from the moment you got it till now on the same image lol)

[Q] Display issue

Just got this phone today and notice an area where there is a reddish tint. It is a 2 inch horizontal band in the center of the display most noticeable on white backgrounds. Is this something that might go away after a break in period? Has anyone seen this before?
I am having a similar issue to the one you describe. Mine has a bit more of a pinkish hue, and it is at the bottom of 1-2 inches of the screen. Shows up more on white backgrounds. Trying to decide if I should get a replacement or not. It's very subtle, but I can definitely see it.
From another thread:

Well, now I don't know if I should get this replaced. Took a picture with it on an all white screen...

EDIT: I will say, while I notice it on white webpages or in gmail when looking from top to bottom, that pic looks WAY worse than in person, lol.

I'm thinking about returning as well, but afraid that I'll get one that is worse.

Is this a problem with my screen L23 ?

In a way yes, this is the first generation of plastic OLED, and no it isn't exactly perfect. My screen is also a bit grainy.

Thank you , this is frustrating ..

I've gotten used to it. It is what it is. The overall speed and, for the lack of better description, joy, of using this phone, imho far outweighs the paper-like graininess of the display.
And I actually have come to enjoy the more 'natural feeling' it has. I look at my note 2 and it almost seems 'plastic' looking, if that's understandable at all.

Ooooh es file explorer material

Just got the update.. Looking nice

It was available since a month on apkmirror.com
It got slower then before.....
And yeah I also get a menu with black text on a grey background
Not exactly material design, but I'll take it. At least it's better than the previous UI.
If this the material design they have got .. then I rather switch old look or switch over to iOS... damn!!!!
