All my blacks seem gray. Can't figure out how to adjust them, but my Note8 is way better
I agree my note 8 has better colors and black. And the white looks bright and clean.
Thinking to send it back.
Hey guys which version of the phone do you have?
Yes, Note 8 definitely has a brighter more colourful display.
I have the N20 Ultra Exynos version and the display is very underwhelming indeed.
I have the snapdragon version and the display is very disappointing to my eyes.
About to send it back, as I pass by a Samsung shop and the guy ran a test and said the screen is not defective and cannot be calibrated either
Snapdragon 512GB USA model here, Blacks look black(SuperAMOLED) but gray looks off, white looks dirty yellowish.
Not great. Its good, but only giving 3 stars because my OnePlus 8 Pro looks much better. Also others have said the contrast and colors are much better on their Note 10+ too. The vivid profile should be much better than it is for a $1300 phone.

Meh contrast. Blacks are kind of a dark gray.
Best black levels I've seen on an IPS display to date, ambient display looks practically like OLED on here.
True contrast ratio is about 1:1500 and looks amazing.
Huge improvement over the N5 which was no slouch in the display quality department itself.
Blacks are as good as I would ever expect on a LCD display.
EDIT: Just did a side by side comparison with my Nexus 5 and the blacks/contrast on the Nexus 5X is better than the Nexus 5. Also, screen uniformity on the Nexus 5X is better. The screen obviously can't do pure black like an AMOLED can but it's pretty good for a LCD with perfect uniformity(at least that I can tell) across the entire screen. On the Nexus 5X with a full black background in a totally dark room with the brightness at 100% and my Nexus 5X has ZERO light bleed from the edges of the display. I think this is the first time in my life that I can say that. Every LCD I have ever seen(smartphone, TV, computer monitor, etc) had some level of light bleed from the edges.
I still prefer AMOLED to LCD but as far as LCDs go I have 0 complaints for the Nexus 5X.

The screen is AMOLED, so blacks are perfect.

the screen is super amoled so it's really good for a budget phone
yes it gets perfectly black colors since it uses amoled screen, but after 2 years of using this phone, i noticed that the white colors on it aren't that white anymore and it shows a very light yellow color instead of pure white. probably amoled screens degrade overtime

Not super amoled. Only amoled...

Ultra deep blacks, almost Amoled-like, quiet impressive for an LCD screen.

Mine has a reddish tint. Setting the colour temperature to the coldest possible setting only minimizes the tint.

I think this isn't quite accurate. I came from an Amoled to the HTC U11 and it took me a week to get used to the colours. At first felt very washed out. However now it's fine now my eyes have adjusted.

Do you have a pink /reddish tint?

No, not at all.
There was on the firsts HTC 10, but not a single one on HTC U11
You can control color saturation with custom kernel to be closer to amoled, this is what I used to do with my previous HTC

Mine has a reddish tint as well when screen brightness is low. Did you solved this issue, or did it go away by itself like htc 10 users were reporting?
Thanks
Mine has a reddish tint too when the brightness is under 80-85%, and almost disappear at full brightness. Is there a fix for this?? I should sent it to warranty?
If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the Google Pixel 2's display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.

Some brief observations about Pixel 2's display (in Natural and Boosted color modes):
+ Max brightness is pretty bright, and should provide adequate visibility in most conditions.
+ Nice, deep, inky, and uniform black, just as you'd expect from an OLED.
- Pure green (#00FF00) renders considerably lighter and paler than reference. Using my eyes alone, I can't tell how much of this is due to undersaturation vs color inaccuracy. The result is that elements that are mostly green (e.g. Google Hangouts icon, plant life in photos) sometimes look noticeably less vibrant in comparison to other elements on the screen.
- Red is undersaturated relative to the other colors. This is evidenced by the green tint that is clearly visible when viewing yellow and orange colors. Deep reds skew slightly purple as well.
- The display's color temperature appears cool in all but the brightest of indoor viewing conditions. I'm sure it looks neutral (i.e. great) under the blaring fluorescent lights of an electronics store, but isn't as well suited for home or office viewing. Some people prefer cooler colors. I'm of the mind that neutral or very slightly warm color temperature displays are much easier on the eyes and more visually appealing.
Most 2017 OLED smartphone displays I've seen have the problems I've listed, albeit to varying degrees. I'd chalk it up to the difficulties inherent to OLED screens, but past experience suggests otherwise: I've owned OLED phones with better color accuracy all the way back to 2013. It seems like things really got worse this year. Not sure if its the displays themselves or the color profiles being applied.
Using the new Saturated color mode swings the color temperature to a more neutral position, but the resulting appearance is way too saturated in general for my liking, and it doesn't completely resolve the issue of inaccurate reds.
I'm disappointed, as the display's color issues cause it to fall short of what I expect to find on a phone in Pixel 2's price range. I haven't decided yet whether I'm going to keep it.
Yellow!
Receive mine today, and the colour calibration was way off... I thought it a little yellow at first, and perhaps the beach on the default wallpaper might be influencing my judgement. Installed a few aps, played around with the settings, and then compared it with my previous phone and oh dear - it was clearly very yellow. Greys in particular looked awful, and whites like aged paper rather than white. So disappointing.
I also compared the colours with my aging Nexus 7, and that looked much better too, as do my various monitors. I've RMA'd the device, and will give one more a go before deciding whether to keep it. Such a shame - one of the main reasons I went for a 2 rather than a 2 XL was the supposedly better display... And if only Google would allow us to calibrate the colours ourselves, I could probably have resolved the issue myself.
Color calibration is indeed terrible.
Comparing it to me previous phone, google pixel XL. It makes some colors fade in such a weird and ugly way.
I cant stand it
In low or dark ambient light the screen seems to have a pinkish or red tint when viewing the panel to the side. I don't remember seeing this on the N20U. Anyone else?
Very common in phones in the past year. Either green or red tint in low light. My 8pro has a green tint at low light levels and there's many reports from many makes and models of phones of this.
So probably normal. Just didn't seem to be a bright or white as the Note 20U.

Im not sure it's "normal" more that there's something going on with the latest Samsung panels. Is the N20U 120hz? I think it's something to do with the refresh rates because OLED TVs suffer from "raised blacks" at 120hz. I think high refresh rates mess up gamma levels in OLED.
Yes the Note was 120 but not qhd
Do you have a screen protector installed? it could make this tints worse, also don't forget this issue is only with "cheaper" displays, i don't think Samsung uses that kind of "cheaper" displays in flagships!
I did remove the factory protector and it did seem to make the panel slightly brighter. The pink only shows up in low ambient light with the screen at100% and really only then if viewing it at an angle. It's slight but haven't seen this on the Note 10, Note 20 or s20.
Are you using 120hz? On the note 20 ultra this cause slight colour shifts...
Yes 120 and qhd although not at the same time on the Note.
I don't see pink tint in my s21 ultra.
Exynos version
How does the white balance in a dark room with the screen cranked up seem? Warm or cool? It's not as bright as the Note so maybe that's what I'm picking up on.

This is the reason... Sadly every device with 120hz has either red or green tint issue :/
Well that is unfortunate then.
Yes to pink tint! Exynos
no pink for me USA model snapdragon
Same Pink tint problem. Exynos. Don’t need 100% brightness. Just at white screen and slightly tilt it. And pink tint appear.
Same as 13:20s in this video
So it sounds like it might be normal for these panels then and the 120 hz as mentioned above
I just turned the white balance one notch to cool and it seems to eliminate the pink and then into the advanced and then the red down a bit
