And if anyone has, can you tell us A: what parameters it actually lets you change, B: do these changes apply universally or only in certain apps, and C: if this is actually supposed to affect the physical properties of the display in some way (in the way that the contrast control on an LCD TV might), or if it's just doing a Bravia-like trick and messing around with the pixel values?

I don't really need it, but since lots of people talk about it - i'm curious if it's real, because nobody provided any screenshot/details of this feature.

That's prolly the one and only screenshot that got out on the web. A real test would be great!
Like make a screenshot with unaltered settings then next is try to adjust it and let us see how big is the difference.
I repeat my earlier question: does anyone know what this software actually does? For example, suppose I'm looking at a screen full of white pixels (red 255, green 255, blue 255), and I've used the software to push the white balance towards red; what does that do? Does it actually change the physical display characteristics of the screen, so I'm now still looking at pixels that are red 255, green 255, blue 255, but the screen has changed the way those RGB values are displayed, (i.e. red 255 is now brighter than it was and blue 255 dimmer); or is it simply hacking what is sent to the screen so that what was originally r255g255b255 is now r255g240b220 (or whatever)? And does this apply universally, or is it a subset of Bravia? And is there anything that can be tweaked other than the three controls we've seen in the screenshot?

That seems unlikely, but it's just possible that it might allow you to tweak the display in the same way as you can tweak the red, green and blue "drive strength" on an LCD monitor.

it's like a mercedes sl...this car isn't the best car, but who wouldn't love to drive it?
but maybe i'm the wrong person to judge about the screen, because i'm upgrading from an htc hd2. and this screen is really old (but i like it, though).

Please help! I just bought the Bell galaxy s 2 today and realised that in low brightness settings screen has a pink tint.
Does anyone have this issue? Its more visible in grey colors. When i compare with my galaxy s, galaxy s' whites are true white and galaxy s 2's white are pinkish tint on it. When the brihhtness is at %100 its not that visible but once u set it %0 it becomes pinkish.
Is it what it suppose to be or its defective?
Note: yes i played with background effect but it didnt help. I am running KG2.
Edit: I compared with galaxy s again and if I make the brightness %100 on galaxy s 2 both screens almost identical (although SGS2 still has little warm whites) but at %0 brightness when I pull down the notification screen sgs2 has literally pink hue
Why not anyone comment on this? 100 something views and no comments?
U guys all have sgs2. pls at least share your phone's display colors so I can know if something is wrong with mine.

Are you saying your whole screen looks rather pinkish ? I've seen couple of devices that were pretty much reddish when showing white, but i think that's not normal. You should replace it.

Yes whole screen has a reddish tint. Especially grey colors. Instead of grey it displays reddish. If i compare Gmail app with Sgs side by side, my screen has ridiculously pink color.
I wonder if its a software issue or hardware? Cuz I remember in sgs hardcore's kernel he made an.option to change the colors.
This is my second sgs2. First one had a dead pixel. So I didnt wanna go right away and change it. I wanted to ask yours.
More input will appreciated.
I uploaded a pic SGS and SGS2 side by side displaying Grey Graident Colors. what do you think?

I'd take the lack or response to mean that it's not a problem experienced by many people. If your read the threads talking about the display, you'll see there's wide variations in color temperature. Cool/blue seems to be normal while there are reports of phones leaning toward warm/yellow. Pink hasn't been reported a lot so I'd exchange the phone.

Thanks a lot for that image. I have been wondering what people were talking about when they mentioned pinkish screen...
Luckily I don't seem to have that problem. It seems like there are a few defective screens out there.
perhaps supercurio will have a voodoo colour fix with the sgs2 whenever he releases it. It fixed the tinge on the original sgs. Look it up if u are unfamiliar with it
I changed the phone today and got a new one. Its better now and significany less pink color.
Also I discovered something that the pink tint is only visible when u look at the screen 90 degrees. If u tilt the phone a little (5-10 degrees) to left-right or up-down and view like that the color turns normal (like my year old sgs).
It made me realise that this is a screen coating issue (maybe coating causes polarisation). So do u think this will go away with the time of use?
When I turn off the screen and check it under light by tilting I can see a little purple glare.
What do u think?

The OLED screen on the GS3 is incredible because of it's intense contrast and instant refresh time, but there a many things wrong with it out of the box, and only because Samsung marketing is driving the settings for it....
The color gamut is too high. It looks good in the store but makes the colors look cartoony, and can decrease lifetime of the display. Is there something that can get it closer to the sRGB gamut used by Android? (90-110% of the gamut)
The autobrightness is very poor in this case, as it does not go low enough in the dark, and does not go high enough in the sun. Has anyone made a mod that has proper autobrightness values, with some middle values turned slightly lower for battery savings?
The white point is very very blue! This makes the display look more white, but this is actually very bad for the display. Since the reason why Samsung needed to have PenTile is because blue pixels die quickly, why is the white so blue? Is there some way to make it properly white (daylight, about 6500k?), in order for better color accuracy and to preserve display lifespan?
At some point, supercurio released a voodoo screen application, but since then I have not seen any sort of application that can properly calibrate the screen...

Samsung anything with a screen is this way. Just go look at this TV, they are bluer than anybody else's. They look good in the bright showroom but in your actual house? Not so much unless you just love blue.

As far as TV's go, those are way more easy to tweak display settings on than a phone display. I agree that a showroom Samsung is really really blue, but that is easily fixed in the color settings.

There is a forced level of blue in the service menu you cannot change without proper calibration equipment.
That is beside the point though. I know CM7 had a calibration setting. Does CM9/AOKP have this still? I haven't had a device that could run AOSP in a long time sadly.

I've noticed whenever the keyboard is toggled on or off the greys change their hue.
It's subtle but most noticeable when on low brightness and in a fairly dim room.
I noticed it the most in the Playstore when you click the search bar at the top it brings up a list of resent searches, now hit the back button to make the keyboard disappear and the whole screen changes hue, click search bar again and it changes back when keyboard reappears.
Can someone else please test this?
I'm just trying to work out if my screen is defective or if it is an 'issue' with all S4s.
Thank you
Yeah, mine changes hue a little as well. Strangely I had my screens changed four times but this is the first time I noticed it.

Thank you for checking. It is actually quite noticeable when you're in a dark room, it's really bugging me!
This is my third handset, the first had a serious pink tint on the bottom of the screen and the second had a light horizontal band across screen when viewing white or grey images.
This one also has 'banding' on light coloured or grey images but not half as bad as my second!
I have the banding issue too! But my problem was mostly dead pixels and stuff. My current set has one tiny spec of dust under the screen but they told me I couldn't change it anymore.

Screen Adjuster does the magic on Asus Memo Pad FHD too.
The screen is too "dirty" (brownish) even turn the Splendid to -10. However, with the combo with Splendid (-5 in white level and +3 on color depth) and Screen Adjuster (+2, 0, +12), problem fixed.
On top of that, you don't need root to make it work.
Frankly, Android should have RGB and Gamma tuning in Developers section (like Windows) to let users to fine tune white balance.

Actually, color temperature is more accurate on the gpad (6153k) than on the g2 (7092k). Your screen has to be calibrate close to 6500k to display a perfect white. 7000 is too cold as most lcd outhere, your eyes are accustomed to see bluish colors on your TV and your other devices.
The main issue on the gpad calibration is the gamma setting as shadows tends to be too dark. Set contrast on -25 with screen adjuster will reveals a lot of details in the dark areas of a picture.

That configuration gave me a real natural look and nice whitey whites.
I was using 0,0,14 before (as I thought red adds up to the yellow) and it gave me a too bluey look.
Now it's perfect!
Most of the gripes I've seen on xda with the non-GPE version are around a yellowish screen and the brightness is too low.
I haven't received the z3c yet but wanted to start theis thread early so everyone can post what display setting there using and any issue on the display. This is from the phone areana review.
" Color accuracy is way off on the Xperia Z3 Compact. Sony has gone purposefully with a colder, noticeably bluish display with color temperature reaching the whopping 10000K (while 6500K is the reference value, and everything above it is cold). Color balance in greyscale is noticeably skewed towards the blue across all brightness levels. Color purists have the option to adjust color balance with separate controls for red, green, and blue. With some fiddling (you’d need to add in a lot more red, and a bit more green to get to more balanced colors,*we tweaked it to the following values: red ~ 250, green ~ 190, blue ~ 0), you can get to the point where colors are not outrageously blue, but getting this right is no trivial task and requires either a trained eye, or a colorimeter."

It's great that we have white balance settings, but the only thing I don't like about it is that it decreases screen brightness when applied.
for me its Red 40, Green 75 and Blue 0
If anyone has a colorimeter at hand it would be greatly received if they could perform some tests and provide the optimum RGB values.

No - I'm no color purist, but the extreme blue tint was very obvious and off-putting. Very puzzling choice on Sony's part, it makes the screen look really bad.
I turned off X-Reality and put it side-by-side with my Moto G and adjusted the sliders until it more or less matched my Moto G. I'm still fiddling with it, but right now I have it set to Red 120, Green 145, Blue 0.
Doesn't the display get significantly darker when using high values for white balance?
Leaving XReality on - I like R:20, G:20, B:0. Just warms things up a tad without overdoing it.
So is everyone experiencing the same blueish tint?

A little bit, I guess? It's still more than readable for me in sunlight, and I'm using Red 120 + Green 145.
I've been using Red 40 + Green 73. No "Image Enhancements"... my reality is enhanced enough, thank you. It does *appear* dimmer, but I'm going to assume that's a physiological color perception issue. You can increase the brightness of the display while keeping the ambient light sensor on, which is a nice feature. Also, the screen can still get blisteringly, stupidly bright if you disable the sensor and crank it all the way up, even with those settings.
I have a colorimeter, and I know that the diagnostics menu lets you do a series of display tests (including flipping to red/green/blue). Does anybody know if those panels apply your color balance settings? Or, alternatively, a good (preferably free) Android app to help with calibration?
Also, seriously, WTF Sony. The displays look almost comically bad straight out of the box. I feel bad for every user who buys the phone and never delves into these settings. :|

As far as I'm aware, the reason why Sony's white balance option makes the screen appear dimmer is because it's not really a true white balance option, but rather a sort of workaround where it adds a coloured transparent overlay to the screen. Higher values mean that the overlay becomes less transparent so the colour overlay will appear more intense while making the screen appear dimmer consequently. There are third party white balance apps in the Play Store which have exactly the same effect, although those also add a bit of lagginess to everything. But the colour and dimming effect is the same.

Huh. I mean, I use Twilight (basically the Android version of f.lux) on my Nexus 5, and have never noticed lag issues. It is *definitely* an overlay, though. That's very surprising that Sony would use such a method, as they actually have access to the actual firmware. You would think, as such, that it would allow you to use ICC color profiles.

Ah, no, I meant apps to correct the white balance, not colour measuring apps. I used to try one of such apps on my old xperia tablet s because its display had a noticeable yellow hue. It did make the colours better, albeit a little dimmer, but everything seemed to be laggy/choppy when the effect was applied.
Oddly, according to my Spyder4, good settings are R:0, G: 137, B: 255.
