lol. is my screen has 2 colors ? " lower half is greenish/blue while top is pink? lol
is this normal ?
when i view gray wallpaper for example. or a white background during reading whatever, i noticed my screen has 2 colors. the lower is half is greenish while the top is pinkish
however, my screen doesnt have umm. any blotches " is this the correct word ? " you know.. when you put a black wallpaper on a dark room.. you dont see those deep black spots... i have none... i have them on my vita though lol.
oh yeah and no grid matrix or weird lines visible either.
just the screen kinda has 2 colors. or pink smearing on top. not sure ^_^

what is the workaround for the pink ?
the green isnt really green. its like... normal i guess. but it look greenish /blueish compared to the top one.
also. i just wanted to know if the pinkish top is a normal thing.
you never see an amoled screen without blotches. and those kill me as i am a very OCD " i mean hey, one of the reasons i bought the damn thing is because of its screen. so no blotches is a very wow lucky me kinda thing
it was a screen program i don't remember by playing with the settings it made the pink a little green so it was better but since u already have green it would pop up more so i think a replacement would be better

um.. no . lol i guess you are missing my point. what i am trying to say is when i am viewing a solid gray wallpaper for example. the upper corner seems different in color than say.. the second half. like the upper part of the screen is lil darker / pinkish while the lower part is brighter / bluer ?

and i am saying it's the screen's fault anyway you do what you want
I had the same problem, except the pink on mine is on the bottom, and it's not much of a fade, so it is very noticeable. On program apps like gmail, it is annoying. I took it back to my barrier and got a replacement, and the new one is fine.
If you can take it back, take it back. Or it'll bug you for a long while

hey guys so i have this phone and i like it, not awsome all the way, but its great so far, astonish performance and an OK camera, anyways heres what ive noticed and i dont wanna send it back before im sure its a problem:
-When i view its screen turned on from different angles the color hue slightly changes a bit to blue, this is most noticeable in bright images with alot of white level for example, is such thing normal?
Also is there any particular thing i should look for to know if its working properly or not? ive heard alot of ppl had problems with the screen, what are the steps that i need to take to check if mine has or does not have the same problems.
Thanks in advance!

True ... when screen are turned and seen from different angles, the color hue slightly changes a bit to blue and that's normal.
But on my SGS2 no yellowish colors or black spots.
OP, the slight bluish hint is normal.
Also normal is some moderate banding on plain gray background.
Also normal is moderate yellowish left side. To check how severely your screen is effected, switch OFF orientation sensor, display a full screen gray image on about 25-50% brightness, look at it in portrait orientation, than flip the phone 180 degrees, so it is upside down. Do a few flips, you will notice the difference in colors on the left and the right sides. Most people do not see it by just looking at the image, they need a real precise side by side comparison like what I just described.
All these issues in moderation are normal for Amoled. What is not normal is dead pixels or damaged screens underneath the glass, but these issues are rare.
Pity you dont have a search button .

My display had purple tint and I changed the phone today and got a new one. Its better now and significany less pink color.
Also I now 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?
Do you have this on your phones?
My sgs, when the screen is off if you look the screen under light has a bluish color/glare.
However sgs2 when I look under light,screen turned off has a purple glare.

he didn't need to taken it off
mine was without screen protector and there was purple glare on screen
now I'm really happy because it's not just me who has this purple glare on screen
this does not matter I like this phone
I find the problem when it is directly under bright light only...even when bright sunlight, it doesn't give me the glare...so it is not really a problem, I don't have a bright light in my room lol
Purple glare is not a problem but it causes phone to display purplish whites and greys when the screen brightness at low. At night, If I look 90 degrees to phone whites are creamy greys have a pink hue however when I view the screen from a little different angle (if i tilt like 5 degrees) whites are cool and greys are perfect.
Well maybe my sgs has a blue tint and cool colors that's why I feel a huge difference. Cuz when I compared my iPod touch 2nd Gen. IPod's color is more pinkish tthan my sgs2.
I don't have screen protector yet but I was hoping putting one would fix that purplish tint issue. So it doesn't.

OK. They are awesome but do you have anything to say about the issue that I am having? If u share with us will be appreciated. I wanna know if there are perfect screens wwithout this issue or all phones have?
I meant that I do not see any tint on my screen.
I have a Bell version, made in China.
The only thing that is bothering me is grease fingerprints marks.
Otherwise this is the best screen on market right now.

I have bell too. Where did you get your phone? I would like to go to the store that u bought to compare mine. Phones in the store that i got mine all have the same issue. This is my 3rd phone from the same store and they are already sick of me going there to change everyday. Maybe it's a batch problem. Are u in Toronto? If u are could u tell me the store name?
I've bought it in the TBooth in Eaton center
I checked all the phones in eaton center and they all have different screens. Mostly they have yellowish tint. One phone in future shop was worst than mine(purple)
One of the 6 display phones in bell had a perfect screen. Which made me hesitate about changing my phone. What are the odds to get a perfect screen?
The phones which have yellow tint their colors look pale to me. Only problem is mine, certain grays look purplish. Such as the status bar buttons. In a dark room with 0 brightness they have a purple tint.
when I tilt the phone that purplish color goes away.
What color the pull down status bar buttons should look like? What is your color?
Dude there are always will be some imperfection in any device.
Stop nitpicking, enjoy your phone.
I recently purchased galaxy note and had dead pixel issue with it. So I got it replaced, and now the second one I ve got has this strange light greyish blemish visible on grey backgrounds. Also when I see the screen with grey color on it the screen doesn`t look uniform where as in all rest of the colors it looks uniform. Please have a look at the attached pictures and let me know if its normal ?
Also please set your brightness to 15% or below to check your devices.
Heres the video for better view:
Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzFA2f05Rr8&feature=youtu.be
Honestly, I don't see any blemishes at all. However, I do see a lot of air bubbles trapped under a screen protector. Are you using one?

Yes I am using a screen protector with lots of bubbles. But do check out the video, in images its not much visible !
No issues on my Note
No issues with the screen, no grey spots no bubbles, no screen protector.
My screen is great.
Also please set your brightness to 15% or below to check.
My god that CPU is loud!
Btw, i can't see anything.

Same thing happened to me. The 1st note I got had dead pixels and dust moving behind the screen. The second one had those dark lines on grey and white color... the first one had those too but not as much as the second one. I sent them both back for a refund. Don't know if I should try my luck on a third one..
Here are some photos:
(The one to the left is the first one with dead pixels)

Mine looks somewhat like the second one but with very less of artifacts !
I see a distinct pinkish/purplish hue at the top of the display. This is very visible on webpages with white background and black text (or in e-reader apps which black text on white background). The white balance at the bottom of the screen is very different than the white balance at the top of the screen.
I tried putting display in various different mode but the hue stays there consistently.
Does anyone else see this? If not, I may just have a defective piece and need to take it back.
Thanks,
Osho

I did see that - but thought that was only for the issue that when one scrolls up and down - there is a tint/hue. In my case, even on plain white background, I can see purplish/pinkish white at the top and the "real white" at the bottom.

IMO faulty device and not related to smear or red tint issues
Oshogg, that sounds like faulty hardware. I have the same thing, except my tint is at the bottom of the screen.
I'm returning it to my provide for a replacement next Tuesday, when they get new stock in.
One thing to check, is the metal rim in relation to the glass... Someone I know who has the same problem as me noticed a slight "lip" raised at the bottom of the phone (I have this as well). Do you have this at the top? He suggested that it might be that the glass was pushed in too far at the bottom / top during manufacturing.
Thanks everyone for the responses. I went to the AT&T store back today and to their credit, they did an exchange right away without any hassle. I compared the new and the old phone displays side-by-side : it was a day and night difference. So, there definitely seems to be very low quality control (at least on the displays) at Samsung manufacturing.

i hope this help for people whos yelling in the screen because of display ..
Download the Screen adjuster to play store ..
And set to Red 3 green 12 Blue 24 .. now it looks bright ,, but i cant promise that this will fix the yellow tint . because we have different Phones ..
Im just helping you all out .. and i hope you'll appreciate .. this is for the meantime ..
and by the way ,, you will notice the difference color between the screen and navigation Bar ! ..
It makes the screen more cool than warm. It's a nice workaround until rgb and gamma comes.

so did you test it ?? is it good ?? also I noticed when you tilt your phone ?you'll see the the true brightness . but when the screen is in front of you .. it becomes tint .
I tried it but I'm still not satisfied with the screen I'm starting to think its just the type of screen that they used..if you tilt the phone to the right or the left the screen looks a lot better but soon as you look at the screen straight forward you see the ugly yellow tint on the screen.I have seen this on 4 different phones.. Thinking of going back to my G3...very disappointed with screen they used on this phone..
I don't think its the screen but rather the screen setting they used

Correct... and the viewing is subjective depending on what phones we've came from. Coming from IPS, were used to whites being whites whereas AMOLED it isnt that case since AMOLED has richer blacks.
The N6 is just a "warm" temperature when it comes to screens.

yeah . this is just for a meantime .. I hate it too .. also the nav bar .. youl notice the difference .. I might return this and go for g3 .. the g3 is great qd . I like the note 4 but I hate touchwizz.
Looks horrible on my screen. You lose "true blacks" with this color temp and looks washed out, which is funny because that's what IPS displays usually look like when compared to OLED tech.
I guess it's all what your accustomed to already, anything else just looks wrong after awhile.
It'll be nice when we get kernels with gamma controls.
