I traded my yellow screen EVO for a new white one and after using it for a few days it looks like my new one is turning yellow. The only thing I can think of is its the sun and heat turning it yellow since I do put it on a dash mount where the sun shines on it...

If that is true I bet it's the parallax barrier...
...though I have my doubts.
Direct sunlight will always **** a phone screen up if left in the heat just don't leave the face in direct heat
Can you post a pic if this so called yellow screen

The smudges are getting annoying because they look ao bad. Does anyone know how I could show it to the AT&T person, so I could get a new one?

It's a common thing with the phone, and it actually does not ruin the quality of the screen at all. Just don't look at a black screen in a very dark room...
I've only run into one case where I ever see it: feeding my baby daughter in the middle of the night while waiting for a netflix movie to load. Once anything else comes on the screen, my eyes adjust and I can't even tell it's there.
My Captivate had the same thing and even after more than a year the display looks fantastic. I don't think it's anything to worry about unless it frequently bothers you during normal use.
I exchanged my SGS2 today because of screen issues. they exchanged it no questions asked. the screen looks better on this one
Like most phones there are two types of LCDs used. Some having cool temperature displays with a more blueish tint to the screen (my preference) and some with warm temperature with a more yellow tint to the screen. This is more noticeable when viewing a white screen. Anyways, trying to see which one in more prevelant in the HTC rezound. The phone on the left is the blue tint display and the phone on the right is the yellow tint display.
Mine looks white when on a white screen lol. Maybe once you upload the pics I can tell!!!

Mine is warm for sure, which is good in my opinion. Warm always looks closer to "real life" colors to me.

Also just so you know, it's almost impossible to tell which one you have unless you are comparing it to the opposite one right in front of your face.

I can personally tell as soon as I turn the device on.
question
For the people that are claiming to have a cool display. Are you also having the problem with the bottom four buttons lighting up pinkish instead of red? Kind of curious because I have seen this as a pattern with a couple of different rezounds. On the rezounds that I have seen with the Warm display, they do not have the pink button issue, that I have seen. This could just be a coincidence with all of the rezounds that I have seen. Just wondering.
Nope. I have beautiful red buttons and what I believe to be a cool display.

Same here! I have nice red buttons and a cool display. I have been checking all day and have never seen a hint of yellow!
Interesting. I would definitely say mine is warm. I noticed my old hTC EVO 4G was much bluer/cooler like the phone on the left in the OP picture.
I know I've seen this topic become but I can't remember where so I'll ask here.
Which do you prefer for your screen (mostly noticeable on the whites) the "cool blue" or the "warm yellows"
I'm seeing this differentiation more and more with these new phone specifically in the past year. Before that I never noticed the difference.
I have two phones and ironically they are one of each. I have to send one back but can't decide =/
Looking for some opinions

Ditto, my white is white... doesn't have blue or yellow tint on it. I hate screens with a color temperature that is way off... if I can notice either yellow or blue tinting to whites, I am annoyed.
Saw a g nexus at best buy that looked like it had jaundice.

Prefer the slightly warmer picture. Looks more natural than a blue tinted picture.

I didn't mean it looks blue or yellow I should have just said warm or cool
Edit: well the warmer one does have a yellow tint. Maybe I'll add pics when I can find a camera

Ooops yeah i forgot to put AMOLED. Early adopters. somehow that phone is still a best compared to my Rezound. Minus the bigger screen.
I'm just curious whether this is just the way the phone is made or if there actually is leakage. If I have my phone laying flat and off to the side, you can plainly see a bright band across the top. I didn't have this on my Evo 3D, and at work the phone tends to be in this position quite often. It may just be the light source that I'm seeing, does anyone else see this? It is most noticeable when scrolling pages in the browser.
I just noticed this today after getting the phone on Tuesday, and now I see it all the time.

We've always known of light leakage in all of the EVO Gens, however from the top of the screen is rarely the complaint. It's normally near the home keys row. If its bothering you, take it in and say you want a replacement. Just be straightforward and demand it.

Trust me, if you had light leakage you would know. I think what you have is a mild case of OCD.

Maybe, but when you look at your phone and there is a bright strip at the top, your attention -is- going to get pulled towards it. I'll just stop in a repair store and look at their demo unit to see if it is the same or not.

I have that strip too. That is normal and it doesn't leak on to the screen.
I really want to exchange this phone for a white one when they are available - I paid almost $700 and do not want to pay the $75 restocking fee to exchange it. I ran Dead Pixel Tester and found 2 dead or stuck pixels. Will they let me exchange it for a NEW white phone if I complain to retention? Any ideas?
Damn that sucks.

They should. It's a manufacturing defect.

There will exchange it but not for another color.

I was mad when I found out the white s3 wouldn't ship till later. I bit the bullet and bought the blue one and I was surprised because the blue ain't bad at all, I actually like it and it looks like the whole phone is brushed metal.

I actually like the blue...it's much better looking in real life than the pictures made out to look...its kinda got a gunmetal look to it that I am digging...but definitely a finger print magnet for the back cover though.

That's exactly what I thought. I went into the store telling myself I wouldn't buy it if they didn't have the white one because I'd seen the promo pictures and didn't like it as much. Then I saw a guy with a blue one outside the store and it totally changed my mind. It's much more reserved than what I expect the white one to look like. The blue isn't overwhelming and blends nicely with the lighter blue on the edges.

Cause you could be mistaken for this with a white one
The white on plastic phones has a tendency to turn blue if you wear jeans. Just a warning.
Also, my Blue one looks AMAZING! It isn't near as blue as pictures make it look, more of a titanium.
Yeah I didn't like the blue at first, but now that I have it, it's beautiful.
been drinking whiskey for the last hour...so i'm sorry. but i'm also not sorry.
either way....enjoy this piece i just made:
