[Q] One-sided color shift when looking at the screen at an angle

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.

LIght Bleed

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.

Pink screen issue with Note 3 for comparison. is this a problem or not?

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.

Clarity/resolution

The Samsung Galaxy S10 has a crazy crisp display. Just kidding, this is automated text so who knows if this screen is any good. So, you be the judge! A higher rating indicates that it's extremely sharp and clear, and that you cannot see pixels with your naked eye.

Outstanding

I'm getting a pretty noticeable shift in white balance when I tilt the phone. Becomes notably pinker when not looking straight on. TMobile snapdragon s10+. Anyone else seeing this?
Comparing against my Note 9 which has no noticeable shift

Got the s10e and have same pink shift. Im thinking the preinstalled screen protector is causing it... do you still have the preinstalled screen protector on your s10?

Definitely see screen tilt pink shift

I have the same - S10+, Exynos. It had all phones in Samsung store.

Best display.

Hello to all, are these waves on my screen normal; I am not talking about the reflections but the little bumps that the screen itselfs makes, like wrinkles. They are only appeared in a certain sharp angle and under the direct sunlight, also, the screen must be off.
I don't have any protection on the screen (films, etc)

Color saturation & accuracy

Some people aren't liking the 6610k or 6640k color temperature but I'm fine with it. Especially after seeing this video, I take the Pixel 4 XL color temperature over the S10. Way too blue for my liking.

I find colours really don't pop very well compared to my 2XL in boosted mode.. Are there any tricks to play with the screen temperature/saturation for those who are rooted or do we have to wait on more development ?

Yeah it's just too dull... I used iPhone 11 (not the Pro) which is 720p for couple of weeks and I like that screen way better than my Pixel 4 XL... My Pixel 4 XL display looks so pale...

Very nicely calibrated display.
