Hello, I'm new to XDA. So excuse me if I may be a little 'nooby'. I've noticed that the colors on my new Nexus 6P shift when I view it from an angle. Generally, the viewing angles are bad. At extreme angles, the colors pretty much go rainbow on me. I thought that's how AMOLED displays are, until I checked my S6 edge. The viewing angles were perfect, no color distortion on it. Is it a problem with just my device? A quick Google search let me know that there are others with the same issue too. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
(PS: Upon regular usage, the display is perfect, no problems. Only when I tilt the phone I see the color shifting).
Yeah lots of people seeing this. My screen was fine if I looked at it from an angle but awful looking straight on. I don't have much advice for you. I returned mine for a refund. But there is quite a few threads in here already about this, have a look through them
It's the nature of amoled screens. Just depends to what extent there like it and how much you notice it

Mine is the same, perfect when looking at it straight on, all kinds of colour shifts at angles, it doesn't bother me one bit as I don't use my phone at an angle anyway.

Oh. Thanks for the answers. The display is fine. It's only extreme viewing angles that rainbow out. Anyway, I probably won't use the phone at those angles anyway!
Precisely.

Has anyone noticed that the warm colors are only available when looking at the display head on?
Tilting just a few degrees does keep the image sharp, but the colors are much colder...
What im asking is - is this normal, or should i get another?
Well - i just spoke to supercurio, he says its to do with crappy glass treatment, not the panel itself.
Will go and see what else they have at the store tomorrow...
Only a slight change in color for me. Nothing that I would say is an "issue". But, of course, it depends on your personal perception...
What more annoys me is the banding (gradient) and the oversaturated, unnatural colors that I experienced with all AMOLED displays until now. I prefer LC displays...

Seems to be common in Samsung devices but not all exhibit such a bad viewing angle, my Galaxy S and S8500 didnt have any color temperature changes when tilted even at extreme angles while my Galaxy S2 had a slight shift to green, while my note's first screen didnt have any hint of temperature change but after the screen replacement I had a blue tint with really bad viewing angles.
I havent seen how bad it is on the Tab7.7 but im guessing its gonna be similar.
EDIT:
Found this show case video on the Galaxy Note about the viewing angles, their unit doesnt seem to exhibit any color changes.

Don't let me stop you, just letting you know that its common among samsung devices but not all of them exhibit the same issue, a friend dropped by after getting his tab 7.7 about 2hrs ago and there is no color change at an angle, so yours might be faulty.

Man I don't post too often but you've gotta relax a little bit, take a chill pill.
The other guy does have a point in saying that its common to all Samsung devices especially the Galaxy S line of devices. I've had a Galaxy S2 that had color temperature change when viewed from an angle and even my current nexus does it.
I got my galaxy tab 7.7 2 weeks ago and I'm very happy to say that it does not have any temperature color change even viewed at an extreme angle.
And this guy did an unboxing and also mentioned that he has no color changes when viewed from an angle as well

That you notice.
This would be the first OLED or any screen (LCD obviously is bad for this) that doesn't change a bit when viewed off axis then. I have seen the Note, the Infuse, and even Zune HD screens and they all shift a bit when viewed at an angle. I would be very suprised if this did't shift at all but I suppose it may be possible.

Look at the video posted above on the note, it does not have any color temperature change as far as I can tell. Before I had my screen replacement it was similar to that.
Just bought three more for the office, all with perfect screens. The first was a dud, store took it back after some cajoling.
Thanks for the help.
No colour change with mine. Best screen I've have ever looked at.

I also took mine back because it turned blue when i looked at it at a small angle. New one is not perfect either, still distorting way more than screen on my lcd 8.9 though.
I wonder how many people just dont realise that small color distorion is normal and never complain and how many actually haver crappy screens (since i assume they are pretty much the same manufacture date)?

I also wonder what you're doing with your tablets... When I'm using mine I'm holding in front of me, I don't tilt it at 78.5 degrees only to see that physics does its job with the glass filtering/separating colours at certain angles through reflections between the two glass surfaces.
You can't just have everything: a super-tough screen glass, brilliant colours, high resolution, crisp sharpness, 180 degrees viewing angles in every direction.... Be happy with the best screen in a tablet so far!

Actually you can. My very first 7500 was PERFECT. As was an excellent Incredible S i owned.
Ive now seen 4 of these and none had what i would call a good screen compared to the LCD in my first 7500. Changing up to 170 degrees on it only affects the brightness not the pixels visible color temperatures.
I've owned this tablet for over a week now and I really love the screen when viewed head on. The colours, contrast and brightness are great. However, I've seen a lot of reviews say that the viewing angles are good and that hasn't been my experience. If you're only talking about its horizontal or vertical vertical viewing angles individually it's not too bad (just a loss in brightness), but viewing the tablet diagonally results in blacks becoming a washed out mess.
It doesn't seem like a problem that would come up often, but the use cases for a tablet make it a fairly common occurrence. No one seems to have mentioned this so I was wondering what others thought. Does this not bother anyone else, or is this just standard for a 10" tablet?

Just noticed it. Don't view the screen diagonally. So not a concern
I suspect that Sony sacrificed the diagonal view angles for better horizontal and vertical ones. If you look *very* closely as the screen you'll see a bunch of diagonal lines — at least I see them on mine.
To answer your question, I've not seen this on any of the other 10 inch tablet screens I've beheld, but I have seen much poorer horizontal and vertical viewing angles
That said those diagonal lines do annoy me.

My tablet actually has really good viewing angles. The only thing is the black go a little lighter when viewing diagonally. This is pretty common on IPS panels, even my Dell monitors.

If I look extremely close at the screen (to the point of hurting my eyes) I can see very faint lines which do look just like pixels. It's only apparent on whites.

A little lighter? You must have a far better panel than me if the shift can reasonably be described as "little". On mine blacks become bright Grey. :-/
I didn't realise this was common to IPS panels, however at least I know it's not just me. I recently had a chance to play with a Galaxy Tab 2 and while it exhibited some of the same behavior it was nowhere near as bad as the XTZ.

Yeah it might be hit or miss. The blacks kind of go grey-ish, but definitely not a bright grey. And it's not really an IPS thing, but it is common enough on them. Also, I honestly don't think it's much of a problem or issue at all. It's only the blacks viewed diagonally and at a very skewed viewing angle that change a bit. At least at most common viewing angles it doesn't change at all for me and probably the biggest thing, there's no colour shift. Colour shift is probably the biggest annoyance about my Nexus 4, so I'm glad my XTZ has absolutely none of it.
Also, the GTab2 uses PLS instead of IPS. It's Samsung's similar tech to IPS, but it is different of course, so it may be better.
I've just compared this screen to the Xperia Tablet S, and whilst the viewing angles are the sane on both diagonally, the faint lines across the screen are not exhibited on the Tablet S.
are barely noticeable, in fact, I'm surprised you noticed them!
Are you sure it's not the individual pixels?

I Received my 6p and Iove everything except the viewing angles. when I view whites at any angle other than straight on it has a blue tint.

It is not normal to view the screen the way you do. Yeah look for any kinds of defects and let us know. Or search may be.
Almost all AMOLED screens have this color shift. I had it on my Lumia Icon/930 and now on the Nexus 6P.
Yes unfortunately it seems to be normal. It happens on mine as well. I RMA'd one unit because it was bothering me so much. The replacement isn't much better and probably wasn't worth the trouble of resetting up my phone. But if you search the Internet about this issue it varies screen to screen and there are apparently some that don't do this except for at extreme angles. I wasn't lucky twice and I'm not about to try a 3rd time.. I'll just hopefully get used to it. This is literally the only thing that bothers me about this phone. I absolutely love it otherwise.
It is weird I don't remember noticing this when I had a Galaxy S3 back a few years ago though...
It's pretty distracting especially when posting on forums which the majority use a white theme. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't color shift so easily. It literally changed colors the entire time I wrote this because of the slight angle changes my fingers caused while typing

Mine is fine. Yours is defective probably.
Ugh... I wish there was a place to see other 6pp in person to compare. I've seen my friends S6 and his screen only shifts at extreme angles.
Maybe I'm being too picky. I wish there was a store where I could compare another 6p in person.

If you are noticing it that much then you probably have a defective panel. Mine doesn't do this, in fact I think the panel is a thing of beauty. Sure next to my calibrated Z3 and iPhone 6 Plus, the hue is off white the whole time, even straight on. Move the other two phones aside and you don't notice it at all! Bring the other two in and suddenly, in the Fallout trailer, I can see more vibrant colors, crisper details and a larger picture with better sound than both. I reckon your's is a defective unit since just typing is showing color shifts that are glaringly annoying you.
Hello guys...I think my nexus 6P has pretty bad viweing angles. It is exactly...and I mean exactly like in this video.
http ://youtu.be/XhEC4dE5XHg
Is it normal for amoled screens? Is yours the same? What should I do? I love this phone...but this is concerning me. I am waiting for your answers as I do not know if I should Return this one and ask for a new one.
Update 1: do you think a tempered glass protector will make a difference? I am about to apply one but if my unit is defective Ivwill wait until I exchange it
The viewing angles for me are crap. If I tilt it upwards the screen goes completely pink/purple. Left and right give a rainbow tint. I don't notice it 95% of the time though

Do you think this is like a common thing? Or are we unlucky and most of the screens are better? It also pisses me off a little...otherwise i love the phone...but idk if I should ask for a replacement or not. I might also get a screen with a worst effect so that is why I am scard.
I think all screens are the same. Samsung kept the 100% ones and gave Huawei the 2. choice samples. If you use a higher brightness, it´s not really that bad. I´ve seen worse screens eg. in a Samsung Galaxy SIII where you could spot the glue marks..

Funny enough i am coming from an s3 and had no problems with the screen on that one. I had to choose between the 6P and the s6 edge plus....and i chose the 6P cuz I saw that the edge plus had a really loose home button and I didn't want that. I still want the 6P more...i just really fell in love with it...but I do not know if I should try and rma it...
Is your also the same?
It's very common. There are several threads on here about it, lots of people affected and some having to return their phones 4 or 5 times to get one they are reasonable happy with.
Mine was really bad especially at angles. I returned for a refund. I couldn't be bothered to return it multiple times. Also I was annoyed that Google was ignoring my emails about it.

I really do not know what to do...also...if I should try another 6P or not...I am kinda afraid cuz at over 60% brighteness...my whites are actually whites instead of the pinkish whites i saw on this forum...at 100% even with adaptive they look really good. I am afraid I will get a unit with really bad uneven screen. I will try and post some pictures in a bit
It's frustrating. Like you I had an s3 and the screen on that was great. It didn't have bad whites or bad viewing angles and that was years ago

You might get used to the screen, don´t worry The Nexus 5 ( 2013 ) had a different type of screen where you could see the digitizer matrix if you looked close enough I´m happy with my Nexus 6p though it´s slightly warped now. The phone is great but not very sturdy from a mechanical point of view.

What do you mean when you say "warped" ?
I will post shortly some photos of the screen. Please let me know what you think
Okay....so here are my photos
It's an amoled. I've 4 s6. 2 10.5 tab s . 8.4 tab s and now a 9.7 tab s2 and there all the same. So it's not a defect . It's only wrong if it has a very noticeable hue or is uneven in colour. if it's even and has nice whites don't risk it
It's a shame because I love this damn device besides the crappy screen angles. Any slight deviation from straight on give me a bluish hue. Sad because the colors are so vibrant. I have played a bit with the saturation settings in Franco's kernel, but the color temp doesn't go high enough to tame the warm whites as much as I want. Just got my phone this past Monday and am still on the fence about an RMA. I just got the phone running where I want on CATA with Franco.

Okay guys...this is my screen. The brighteness was at less than 50 and more than 70. Most of the shots were taken with adaptive brighteness on. The photos where the screen is really bright were taken with adaptive off and brighteness at around 90%
What do you think, should I try to replace it with a new one or do you think the screen is good enaugh? Would you keep it?

That's looks like a good screen to me. Very uniform. Keep it . I would be chuffed if mine was like that. I think we become obsessed when first coming from Lcd or Ips screens but our eyes adjust and we end up realising that we have a good amoled or not. that comparable to the whites on my Samsung S6. And it took me 4 s6 phones to get a screen this good
Thanks a lot for your reply! You made me smile a little and feel better about it . When you say "that comparable to the whites on my Samsung S6." you mean that you compared my screen to your s6 or? I also think the screen looks kinda okay...getting just a little pink when I change the viewing angle...and then green if I move it a bit more. That's why I am saying I think the viewing angles are the ones bothering me. my screen also gets kinda pink...but when I get the brightenes all the way down and I am in adaptive mode. does that also happen on yours?
Hey guys!
I neead some pieces of advice really fast!
My nexus 6P seems to have really really bad viewing angles..basically even if i move it a little while i am typing, the keyboard color gets bluish.
Please watch this video (also please forgive the backround noise). This is my 6P. I know that the video is not of a very high quality (it was taken with my ipad 2) but you can still see the problem when i use the keyboard. It can also be seen when i try to reach the notification bar.
Here is the video:
http://youtu.be/164m5oQu9yQ
Is yours doing the same? Is it normal? Should I ask for a replacement? I am really curious if your 6P is doing the the same.
Best regards!
Anyone?

Does it happen on yours as well? or on your devices with amoled sreen? I am really interested if you guys have the Nexus 6P. Also, isn't the angle when the colors shift appears too narrow?
I mean..for me it happens at the slightest angle. if I hold the phone with the keyboard open..and I shake it a bit i can see the color getting bluish..like..immediately.

I'd say mine looks and acts the same way yours does, it just doesn't bother me in my regular usage.
AMOLED screens generally have narrowing viewing angles than IPS LCD screens before you start seeing color shifts like that. It's the tradeoff -- along with off-color whites - that you get for having more vibrant colors/real blacks and the ability to activate only certain portions of the screen (not really explored on the 6p, but Active Display on Moto X is an example). AMOLED is considered better for videos etc because of the vibrancy/deeper blacks but LCD tends to be brighter/easier to read outdoors.
I don't consider one better than the other, just a matter of taste.
Did you come from a phone that didn't have an AMOLED display or a Samsung (anecdotal theories that the better panels get binned for them, not by me but in other threads I've read)?

Did you come from a phone that didn't have an AMOLED display or a Samsung (anecdotal theories that the better panels get binned for them, not by me but in other threads I've read)?

I'm not saying it's "normal" but rather, it seems like the panels used on the 6P vary on this issue (color shift) quite a bit. I do not know if this would be considered a manufacturing defect but there have been other threads of people exchanging their phones with the same issue; they would be better equipped to advise you re: returning this particular phone.
One thing to note is that in a Reddit AMA the Nexus team confirmed that they were using the latest generation panel from Samsung, so I would expect the panels to be of the same quality as the same one in a Samsung phone.
If you are still within the return window it's up to you to exchange if it is really bothering you. Someone on Reddit was in a similar position here. Note the first reply and the two images linked angle #1 and angle #2, where one of the phones had a much more obvious shift in color when tilted.

I am 100% sure that the shop I bought it from will replace it for me if I ask for it. If i choose to exchange directly on their shop should they let me compare both of them and keep the one that is better?
