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 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...

Stop peeing on your phone !!! Haha jk I don't notice a tint on my screen.
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 =/

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.

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 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.

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.

Blue got better colors than White..I was really confused.Also, I used same wallpaper on both phones and they didnt have same colors. Is it normal? Does anyone got same problem?
No GS3 will be exactly identical due to manufacturing process. Choose the best you found.

All S3 has a slightly different colour actually. Blue or white S3... You can find one Blue/White S3 that look nicer/uglier than yours actually.
Duhhhh....in terms of specs, they are absolutely, 100% identicle! So how the blue can be better than the white is beyond me....unless you've just created this thread to cause arguments....

- Similar , identical phones , just color variation , unless you're likely specific football team
If the color variation is so great that it warrants a discussion, the two phones - most likely - had different "screen modes" selected.
Settings > display > screen mode. The difference between Standard and Natural alone are relatively dramatic.
You're most welcome.

I dont think they have different hardware
Ever single phone has identical parts but the screens can differ. E.g there was big issues with blue/yellow tinted screens with the iPhone 4**** due to the glue etc used in the displays

It can be because of phone's color surrounding the screen i.e. in blue frames the colors looked better than in white frames (because your/my/somebody else's brains work that way - "correcting" the colors so you "can understand those").
Try removing the phone color or changing both to same color from video/image and then compare to see if there are differences.

I think the two S3s that you got just happens to have a different batch of screens.
One screen has a cool tone, one as a warm tone. The cool one, will tend to make whites a little blue, while the warm one will make whites q little yellow.
It's perfectly normal. In fact, both have their pros and cons.
Warm ones tend to display colours in a way pleasing to the eyes. Cold ones are not as pleasing, but are way more accurate.

Hardware built are totally the same. Just based on your preference. White looks clean, but blue looks cool...Match with different colors/types of casings will make your devices look even nicer.

Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
Do you mean across the notification bar? Or throughout the screen? I have seen burn in (in the notification bar) on two of the warranty replacements I received recently. They both had black vertical blotches on the screen visible on gray backgrounds, and one had a triangle of brighter color. There was a huge deal about this, very common issue with the early devices. Under normal circumstances it can't be seen, but I think a vast majority of i777's have the splotches. All 4 of the i777's I have used had at least the splotches when viewed on low brightness and gray images.
