I cant get definitive answers. some people say its normal, some people say its not. Some people seem to have this issue, some say theres is perfect. the problem is, nobody is posting pictures of their perfect, non pink screen. So, here is mine w/ a note 3 for comparison. the 6p has adaptive brightness on because that's how I like my phone.
so, picture one. Indoors under normal lighting conditions. The Note 3 is as dim as it can get, the 6p is at a comparable brightness, note 3 on right, 6p on left:

In the dark, note 3 as dim as it can get and the 6p at a comparable brightness, note 3 on left, 6p on right:
In the dark, Note 3 as dim as it can get and the 6p as dim as it can get, note 3 on left, 6p on right:
so, normal or not? If yours doesn't do that, can you post pics? comparison pics would be great if possible
My 6P does this too. in fact i think the Nexus 6 did the same thing.
also if you turn off adaptive brightness the pink hue is gone. but the screen won't go as dim
Far more important than default "white" screen color temp is whether it's even or has red/pink localized. Yours looks even so I'd call it acceptable. If the 6P is like the Nexus 6 then color temp will soon be changeable with Kernel Adiutor and a custom kernel.
If you RMA you'll risk getting a lesser device.

I was just wondering if any other owners noticed that the Nexus S has considerable more vertical banding than their previous handset.
My previous phone was a Vibrant and the Nexus seems much worse? Like when you pull the notification bar down you can see the vertical bands against the dark background or if you look at the background of the Gallery. It's very noticeable so I'm wondering if my phone is the only one like this or if it is a common issue with this phone?
Errr take a picture :S
Sounds like stuff related to pentile, and Nexus S not having the mDNIe part of the Super AMOLED screen, compared to other Galaxy S phones.
I saw the same thing...but its the touchwiz gallery has inhancements that make it look better.....watch on your vibrant pic an image side by side with your nexus....watch how when you click on the image it looks just like the nexus dose then it inhaces it where the ribbons dissopear....I've done it so I know...try it out

Noticed the same thing on my Samsung Focus.
It may just be the image quality of your picture, but mine is not nearly as bad as that. In fact mine is hardly even noticeable.
I exchanged mine with another one. The banding on my first one was more noticeable than the picture in this thread. The new has it a little bit but it is much clearer.
Have you noticed such thing on your G2 device: when looking at the screen from the RIGHT side, at an angle, there's a color shift, especially when looking at an uniform color background (red, blue). For example - when you look at the red pattern it becomes yellowish at the very high angle (almost flat), BUT this thing doesn't happen when you look at the screen from the opposite direction (left). I have a 16 GB version.
I have attached some pictures and would be glad if you could check it and confirm whether it's present on your device (display/dead pixel test software is helpful here to display one color on the whole screen - like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester). And also - which model you have - 16 or 32 GB?

This is also present on my device, but i really doesn't pay much attention to it. In real day-to-day use i don't see it. Many reviews stated that there is a color change on G2, so it is an issue for most of people on G2, just some people see it, some people don't.
If you wear polarized sunglasses it's actually impossible to see the screen when in landscape, this and lack of wireless charging are the only two things I can fault on this device and honestly the former is pretty minor imo.
Thanks for your answers, so unless anyone says he doesn't have this issue I think it's just specific to the LCD panel used in this phone.
I have a blue shift to the right and yellow shift or the left. Quirky panel.
Anyone having this problem with one side of the screen being brighter? Very noticeable on Grey's and some blues.

Not at all, are you using a custom launcher with a desktop shadowing? Maybe just return it for a new one.

yep mine is the like that..
in settings menu you can actually see that the top is darker "blue" and the bottom is much brighter "blue" tone...
the same problem was on the Note 3 just not so visible because the menues was black toned
Mines similar too. Brighter on left hand side in portrait mode.

I don't see a reason to return it for a new one, because it on all Galaxy amoled devices.. S4, Note 3 and S5... I've had 4 Note 3 not because of faults and the all had this problem some more and some less... but it was there...
In the store I work I've seen it on all Galaxy S4 and note 3 devices... it's especially easy to see on a grey color..
on the S5 its a bit easier to se because of the color they choose for the background color in settings menu, you can actually see that on all the S5 devices I've handled including my ovn. the settings background is darker in the top and brighter at the bottom.. they all had a bit of variation..
Using the dead pixels test app, mine is evenly shaded
However, on the settings menu, the top does seem darker than the bottom. It seems samsung intended it to shade it that way

Just picked up a new white S5 on Friday. Few days later, 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. Would love some opinions on this.

Burn-in (uneven wear to be more accurate) will still happen in any AMOLED device. the technology has improved so it should not appear until quite some time down the road, at least it's supposed to have improved.
Any app that might have kept an static image for a long time there?

Well before venturing ideas, I'd like to get a good idea of what you are seeing. I'm sure that it is glaringly obvious to you since you know it's there now.. but your photos are not close ups or high res.. and you didn't circle the area or describe it in detail. Can you point it out or describe it better?
It might be exactly as the poster above suggests or I can think of three or four other possible causes depending on what the artifact looks like.
I got a samsung 4 tab 8 as a part of a promo from comcast (well really I am paying for it in the form of a two year contract).
However, it has a decent amount of light bleed on the lower left side. About the size of a half a quarter. I noticed it when I was in my room with the lights off so it is dim, not dark and the display was only 50% brightness. I was watching a movie and it shows up on the black bar. Being pretty anal this really bugs me.
But is it worth trying to get a warranty repair for? If I had bought this from the store it would be going back, but warranty repair is a different animal.
What do you guys think?
Can you post a picture or a link to a picture of what it looks like? Thanks
What you're asking is pretty much a matter of your own opinion but I can tell you this is not an isolated thing as mine (that came from a major retailer ) and Im sure many others have this problem, so theres a chance youll just get the same thing again unless maybe you're really lucky and they manage to hand pick you one that dont, which may or may not be possible if all the displays from the manufacturer are like this. I can only tell on mine when the screen is all black, but yes its a bit irritating to get this with the Samsung name...

SO this is what I am dealing with. It is viewable from 30% and up in a poorly to dim lit environment. At 50% it is viewable with standard room lighting. It goes invisible if the lighting is good.
