Entire screen is yellow or just the left side?
Try to check if your screen mode is set to standard instead of movie, this is found under display.

[Q] yellow tint on i9100 screen ??? help

Hi,
I just got my i9100, but when I adjust the screen brightness to 0-20%,
the white color will become yellow tint obviously.
Does anyone have the same problem??
or it just happens on my i9100 ???
If it is common, any apps can fix it??
Please help.
Thanks.
Mine is whites are pure white at any angle even at the lowest brightness.
Can anybody else see the yellow tint, if they can it must be a faulty display or maybe you need a firmware upgrade, I dont know.
Hi.
Good luck reading this:

It could be a defective screen. There are some settings that effect the color temperature of the screen. Play with those to see if it helps.
Under Settings>Display>Background Effect, see what's checked and play with the different choices to see if it helps.
Under Settings>Display, see if Auto adjust screen power is checked. Toggle it back and forth and see what that does.
If it still yellow, exchange the phone. If anything, whites tend to run toward a blueish not yellow tint.

I think s/he's saying its the entire screen. That's been reported a few times. Sadly, there seems to be big variations in the color temperatures of the screen from phone to phone.

yes, that is the entire screen, not just part / a section of it.....
the color tone become quite yellow for the whole screen when the brightness is set to 0-20%, but when I set it to >20% brightness, seems there is no such problem.
I think the quality of Samsung screen is very various ....>.<
So i better to exchange for another one?

You should know that it may even be worse...
Do you have the possibility to get another phone for comparison?
I'm returning a SG2 because of it's low brightness and slightly over the top blue hue from viewing angles.
I compared it to my SG2 and it's solid whites from all viewing angles and twice the brightness of the faulty one on the lowest brightness setting.
Checked the settings, made no difference. Compare to a number of SG2, and then you'll know if your phone has a problem with its display.

Blue hue when viewing at any angle

I have a new GS9+ (SD, unlocked) which I love.
BUT, does anyone else notice that when viewing the screen anywhere greater than ~10 degrees from perpendicular, the screen turns blue-ish?
The blue-filter option does not seem to affect this effect.
Color shift is a inherent issue with AMOLED displays.

Perhaps, but on my GS7e it's unnoticeable. When doing a side by side with the GS9+ and GS7e the older screen keeps it color at an angle... the new screen does not. :-|
First world problems.

Is it just me or has the BOE screen a really huge amount of grain?

Just got the replacement for my first Mate 20 Pro, which suffered from the green screen issue and luckily it's a BOE screen that doesn't have this issue.
However it appears to me that surfaces have a slight sandpaper-like texture to them instead of being smooth (especially noticeable when using gboard or on grey and white areas).
By the way smart resolution is of course turned off, thought at first that this could be the reason.
what do you mean by sandpaper-like ? Is it the feeling of the screen or is it what it looks like to you when you look at green images?

It's nothing you can feel. It's a visible grainy structure especially noticeable on single coloured surfaces. Kinda reminds me of the issues with the pixel 2 back in the days.
I have a BOE display and have looked tirelessly to see if I could notice this and nope it's just not there for me....
I've just had a replacement BOE phone delivered today, can't see any graininess to it, but the screen is not as bright as the LG one. Side by side the BOE whites are noticeably greyer. Suppose its a trade off, greyer screen vs green bleed

Ok thanks for the info. So it seems like I have to return m mate again and hope for either a working lg (getting hit by a lightning on a sunny day seems more likely) or a boe panel that ism affected (luckily my issue seems to be isolated).

Strangest thing, I checked last night the white on BOE seems definitely more greyish but this morning in the sunlight its the other way round. Maybe I'm just being too picky. If I didn't have the next to each other to compare I would never had notice the difference. My wife has the same phone and her screen seems to be a different shade on the white too.
I think I would keep the BOE if I have to choose. I always think about the resale

Same here, got a BOE screen and the whites are indeed greyish (not as bright as my previous LG screen) and the screen is not as sharp.

My screen is BOE and what I can note in comparation with my S9 is that in the Mate i can see the digitalizer... in the S9 no...
Sometimes if I try to see it very hard...i can see little points from the digitalizer.
don´t know if in the LG screen is the same thing...
But my screen is brighter then my S9. Colors are very good too and resolution...
but i definitely can see the digitalizer..
Some comparations between bu Samsung S9 and the BOE screen of Mate:

the screen again...

And you have LG screen or BOE?
Display smearing is normal for OLED displays. And you can't show this by capturing your screen as this is a mechanical problem.

As you can see on the video it's clear.. Like it's not a mecanical problem
Its clear in my mobile lol. You have to record it with another phone to us can see it.
It is an OLED problem in general.

GlueGate or just a OLED Uniformity Issue (with test images)

Including here a couple of test images you can use to check for the Gluegate screen issue.
Test1.jpg -- Display this image with the brightness at full ina a dark room and check for green hues on the side
Test2.jpg - This image contains a combination of gray and really dark gray patterns which you can use to verify if its a gluegate issue or an oled uniformity quality issue on rendering certain colors. Display this image with the phone at full brightness in a dark room and try to swipe/move the image and see if the the green light also bleeds on the image dark bars.
Preferably download the images first and preview it fullscreen with your gallery/image viewer app.
Post your results.
Glue gate test
Hi,
Here are some screenshot of my display, with picture posted by you at 100% back-light. On other full black pics there is no problem but in test 1 pic. I can see some green light. What is your opinion. The device is an mate 20 pro lya-l29 with LG display.
I realy apreciate your reply.

I will let you think about it for a minute why it might be pointless to screenshot your phone when looking at display uniformity issues.

My bad.
You are right, I figured out just after I made the post. I have already post an answer, with some pics of the screen.
Here are some pics made with other phone to the screen

Some green light appears only on the pics posted by you. Any other black background for different display test apps stay complete black at different back-light levels.
I don't know what to do (to return the phone ore not?)
I have tried.
I have tried test1. Jpg
Result: there is green around the screen. At both sides and top and bottom.
Test2. Jpg
Result: the green is only visible in the light gray but not in the dark grey color.
What can you say? Thanks.

LG sir.
Is the result of my phone gluegate or oled uniformity? Thanks
All this is too much hyped up i guess.
Lets not assume or generalise. There are huge number of batches and too many variations to pass such judgement
