The colors are little too saturated like in samsung phones in the past. Yup, there are color calibration modes....but one turns white into yellow and the other very dull.
In short, the default one is the best but be prepared for getting stunned with those over bright and punchy colors.

I use the adaptive Mode.
Its a good Mixture from sRGB and default.

Just for info, not all OP6's displays are the same. I ordered 2 devices,and test it both. I keep one with better display, more crisper, white is more cleaner, less yellowish like on other. The other one has more dirty washed color in comaprasion, and the one I keeped is more on white red balance. So, this is not secret, all displays are little different in all manufacturers. It is just lottery.

I have the issue that the white is warm/yellowish if I look at it really straight. As soon as I tilt it even the slightest bit, it all gets colder/blueish. No matter if I chose SRGB etc. It is not a big change in color, but it is quite irritating. Does anyone else face this issue?

I'm surprised at everyone on here, my display is overly blue by a good amount, I have the custom temperature setting set most of the way to warm.

Anyone agree with this?

Even if it's true. Not a dealbreaker. It can be bright af outside on a clear sky summer day and you can still see everything clear and sharp on this display. Plus I personally don't mind the color warmth being set a bit "colder" per general.
That article just needed something to bash this exceptional phone with.

I think the screen is excellent much whiter than my yellowy HTC 10 and absolutely slaughters it on brightness.

Contrast (true blacks)

How well do you know your fifty shades of grey? Rate this thread to express how good the Nokia 7 Plus's display contrast is. A higher rating indicates that black is true black, rather than a very dark gray.

Hello. I would like to ask about the deep blacks on low brightness in an environment without a light. I read before sleep, and I set my nexus 6p amoled to black with white text. Knowing that LCD cannot block all the light for blacks, I want to know how strong the gray shade is. I searched for an image taken from the display during night with no luck. Though considering the variable exposure of photos I guess it is useless to see that. Unfortunately the same can be said about human perception, but anyway I really appreciate any thought on the matter.
So couple of days later and I have the phone. I will post my opinion on the screen here for anyone wondering.
First about the thread topic: The blacks do look grayish in a very dark environment, so compared to an amoled the backlight is visible, however, if the brightness is brought all the way down to minimum, it is bearable.
According to this statistics the Nokia 7 plus screen gets a top score in contrast among LCDs. According to Nokia their screens have an additional polarizing layer which filters more backlight for darks. I confirm that even with an ambient light the grayish tone of blacks is not visible.
Now before discussing the cons of the screen, I have to say that I consider it a good screen. The contrast is good, colors pop out (not as much as amoleds), the sunlight reading is good (not excellent, 3.5 out of 5, amoleds capped at 3), and I enjoy watching movies, peculiarly even more than my nexus 7 amoled, I think it has to do with that faint grayish blacks! Since if I increase the amoled brightness the contrast will increase to an unnatural level for movies (just my opinion).
Now the shortcoming is the absence of white balance adjustment, on software side. This absence is problematic in this case because it is a very cold screen, which means the colors are a little toward blue tones. On the same website if you look at the "Color Temperature" you see it scores 8105, compared to 6863 of Pixel 2. How important this is? It is personal preference! I found turning on the night mode with a very light intensity fixes the problem; Yet we need more color control like in Oxygen OS from Oneplus. Will be happy to see it included in pure android since the needed filters exist as core android libraries.

Minimum brightness

I came from a phone that was like having a light bulb on in your face at night so maybe my opinion is affected a bit but the minimum brightness on this phone is GREAT.
To me it seems exactly the same as with the 3t.
i always activate nightmode as well as battery saver (makes the display a bit dimmer)
The minimum brightness feels about the same as my op3 was. Just got my op6 today. This thing is pretty nice.
Does anyone else get a weird fairly obvious blue tint when you're on minimum brightness? It's especially terrible in dark grey themed apps.
I believe this is just the price you pay with current OLED technology, my Nexus 6 had a very obvious purple tint on minimum brightness.
I also have the purple tint at minimum brightness, guess the oled need some time to warm up from black/off to color. Color to color on low brightness is fine.
the display can get very low which is excellent for my needs

Contrast (true blacks)

Not OLED competitive
Black level and true blacks are mediocre, hard to compare it to the V30 which looks amazing on hdr content.
However in bright sunny situations nothing touches this display, the S9+ was close but the G7 is unbelievably clear in the sun.
As above, side by side with the V30 it's not as good at blacks, but it is by far the best display of any in bright sunshine
Black levels below 50 % brightness seems fine but I would describe bad at high brightness (but majority of media content is seen at high brightness). Another majot flaw is viewing anglebof black is very steep. Slight tilt to anu direction turns screen blueish instead (very noticeable and annoying).
Awesome Color vibrancy and No Bending (also very annoying time to time on 8 bit OLED) makes me feel better though. So it comes down to the personal preference.
You guys are comparing 2 different kinds of tech LCD vs OLED. OLED can achieve true black because when it displays black, the LEDs are off where for the LCD you have a backlight that's always on when the display is. This means its black will never be true black. It's like having a black cloth covering a bright light, the black cloth can't absorb all the white light

It's a 10 IMO. No tinting, grays are nice and neutral, deep blacks and colors are perfect.
I have a Note 9 and I had to install an app (Scrern Balance) to get rid of the greenish tint. All of my Samsungs across the board I perceive as greenies.
This phone had none of that. I love it!
Beautiful screen... Easily one of the best I've ever ran across on a phone, period. Happy to see that live display has profiles for adobe and sRGB (warm).
My screen had a Grey, that was a little off, because you can see with your sole eye how the dark grey is composed out of black and light Grey particles, which i find kinda weird. This got better tho with time, and I hope it'll disappear completely in a while as I intend to use the phone until I break it. I'd rate it an 8/10, since I have seen far better, but then again at a completely different price point.
