I've seen a lot of youtube videos of the galaxy s II and from what I can tell, the screen is still oversaturated like the original galaxy s, with the same blue tint on white backgrounds. Any chance this would be adjusted, or even have a user-adjustable option, by release? I'm guessing a majority of people outside of forums don't care and prefer the gaudy colors, like how they crank up the color on new TVs and everyone's face looks red, because buyers prefer it. But an option would be much needed for those not so inclined to the heavy colors. Another thing I would want is a lower brightness setting. LCDs get washed out but AMOLEDs can handle lower settings and still have good contrast. With that, the ability to adjust the minimum and maximum threshold for the auto-brightness instead of one predefined setting, as well.
I doubt Samsung (or any other manufacturer) would let you modify that much in the settings. The phone is not a monitor, however I certainly see the possibilty of changing those options (or at least some) once some kind souls will start messing with the firmwares and kernels.
*cough* supercurio voodoo color *cough*
If it involves *cough* hacking *cough* I think I will have to pass. And yes, there are less industrious people around here as well.
i am pretty sure that the sgs 2 will have the same same over saturated colours and the tint(looking at review videos).i am not a fan of amoled i do like its blacks but the over saturation does my headache i prefer ips to amoled any day. if it was not their Soc's i'd never have bought sgs.

Or the Nexus S general forum. Fingers crossed.
A challenging task for the devs here ...........
I only see a blue tint when I tilt the angle of the screen. It doesn't take much to see it and becomes more extreme the more it's tilted. Looking straight on is fine. I didn't expect there to be perfect viewing angles but tilting just a little the blue tint is really prominent. Easily viewed on a pure white screen.
Great phone, though I want to use the device to watch videos and two things bother me: the blue tint when not viewed straight on and the over saturated colours. The colour green is very oversaturated much to the point where I think there's green in the videos showing up that shouldn't be there! I know you can adjust the colour tones, that include warm, cold and natural. If the image looks too yellow/green then the cold setting looks a bit more natural on some videos. I would have preferred a proper configuration for adjusting the complete colour balance.
The screen is wonderful but is let down by these two things. If it's something that can't be helped then that's the way it is, but it would be great to have more control over the colour settings and if the blue tint is really a limitation of the type of screen/glass, or the first batch of phones have an inherent fault with the screen?
On thing that is also off is the gamma curve!
greys become dark too fast, shadow details are crushed, even though the screen has the potential not to do this. On the contrary, with such black levels, the panel should be able to show more shadow details.
I suspect this is a battery saving choice, rather than a screen limitation. I'd rather have an accurate gamma though.
Google will need to allow custom color profiles in Android soon!
My Galaxy S has much more natural colors than the S2 that I just bought. I can't stand the disney colors! Hope some developer will be able to fix that soon!
Is it just me?
How come you guys say that the SGS2 has bluish tint? While when I compare it to my SGS(speedmod) and my friends SGS(voodoo) my SGS2 has a yellowish tint to it? I'm a bit confused. Anyway I've bought it and my only complaint is the sound. Voodoo control plus please!
There is some degree of control (not much though) over the saturation in Settings > Display > Background effect.

The easiest way to see this is to view a white page/screen. Look straight on and then begin tilting the phone in any direction. The blue tint becomes noticeable and more extreme the more you tilt it. I wouldn't have a problem if it was only noticeable at extreme angles, but I do see it if the viewing angle isn't straight on. For phone use this is fine, not so bothered. Not so good when watching media.
Regarding the tint,
Also when i purchased the phone in may the gray was going into pink!
On later updates colors seem better! aswell i rember i posted a request in chainfires 3d drivers tread were i ask the guy kindly to add support for custom rgb mode nightmode tones...
So from his application if u play with nightmode function you can tilt your color as u like!

There is actually a post/study about this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124669
I downloaded Soft Screen tuner, some app in the apps/themes section but i can't seem to fix the blueish tint, when im able to remove it my screen turns yellow.. is there any way to remove it? Thanks~
I want it to look like iPhone 4S's color.. more natural..
Bump~ Anyone?
Appearantly not all sgs2 screens are calibrated equally ,but the bluesh tint does seem common.
my phone doesn't have a blue tint at all ,but two of my friends weren't so lucky ,their screens looks badly tinted when compared next to mine .
well actually mine has a a very slight yellow tint so it's not all perfect either ,but at least it looks way better than their phones.
blue tinted screens also looks abit dimmer than non tinted ones.
however I'm not sure if there is a solution to your problem ,as I have not tested this app on my friend's phones.
but still you have one of the finest screens available on the market today so cheer up and enjoy it.
cheers

Download that app. And then choose between the 3 gamma sets to your liking.
Hi guys. First of all let me tell this is far the best Android phone ever had.
But....
This is the second GS3 I have, and both of them have that annoying yellow tint on whites. You can see clearly on whatsapp, web, mailing, whites plain backgrounds.
It's also hard to forget, because when I move the screen 15-20 degrees using it the whites magically became real white, perfect white.
A friend has the same issue with his GS3 but he told me he saw in a shop a GS3 with perfetc whites with no tint at all, white as ice.
With my previous GS2's had some very light blue tint that didn't annoyed me at all (insted, I liked that cold whites temperature).
Tried screen adjuster but dind't help
Any of you guys experienced that?
Cheers.
No yellow tint here. Mine is bluish tint. Love the blue tint though.

Try the yellow tint post same question last month .

Let's just say that the type of lighting you are under have a big impact on how you perceive the color temperatures on your phones. Under lighting in my local phone store my phone looks to have neutral white. Under fluorescent lights in my office it looks slightly pinkish. In indirect sunlight it looks yellowish. Under low evening sun it looks bluish.

Supercurio is working on the app DisplayExpert which makes it possible to calibrate the screen.
He has it running on his S III according to his Twitter.
But the app is not finished yet.

Hi. Thank you for your reply.
I don'n know much about supercurio's works...
Is it much more or less like "Screen Adjuster" (link) that lets you correct using blue, red, green?
Because I've used it but it didn't help. :crying:

I think it is more advanced than Screen Adjuster after reading his Twitter..
But you could ask him if DisplayExpert is better at fixing yellow tint than Screen Adjuster.
Here is a link to his Twitter: https://twitter.com/supercurio
Try flashing Franco kernel r10, it had colour fixes, my whites are now really white, and screen is clearer. You could also try changing screen mode, I use natural

Check in Display Settings if "Auto adjust screen tone" is on.
I read that some got pure white after deactivating it.
Hi guys, really thanx to all for your hints. :good:
Unfortunately unchecking "Auto adjust screen tone" and changing screen modes didn't help changing the whites gradient/temperature.
Are you whites a bit yellow or I am the only one (but with 2 GS3 ).
TNX.

Every S3 I've seen so far has this yellow tint.
Other problems of this display are (software related):
black crush
oversharpening artifacts (fixed with Hardcore's kernel)

I have my warranty and the entire box at hand and I need to reassure myself before I head to the service center and request for a replacement. If not, I'll just sell it off.
I'm too, disappointed by the yellow tint that comes with this high res screen. As with others, tilting 20 deg will make the whites cooler. I did a bit of digging and found that there are many different shades of white. The usual white, or at least the one that I'm used to, on my Desire HD, is reddish/pinkish white.
You can do a bit of experimenting by looking at a blank page on SIII for half a minute, then look at another phone. If the white is different, it maybe due to different color casting. This will be particularly annoying still if you have to stare at screen tuned to a different temp at your workplace, and when you are ready to relax and use your phone, wham, you hate your S3 again.
I read a lot of 'black text on white background' and this annoy me as hell. I think that yellowish white make me think I'm reading off a piece of wash out toilet paper.
What do you guys think?
The Gs3 screen is actually 7900 Kelvin color temp which is quite blue! http://www.displaymate.com/OLED_Galaxy_S123_ShootOut_1.htm

Sorry for double post that was a screen shoot out I linked...the screen should be down a bit to 6500k for accurate color temp. I can't wait for supercurios screen app it will improve battery life. Maybe op should exchange his phone.big was at Verizon store today the display model was quite blue as well no yellow here.

In browser go to menu, colors and select level 1. That will make it less yellowish.

Mine not for sure. I wish it was bluish like most samoled I had, like GS2.
It's just yellowish instead, and a can see true whites only if I tilt the screen 20 degrees. Seems like a old paper, non beatiful to see.
Gonna return for the second time, but I'm not really confident I will find a GS3 with real whites display like gs2, like I want, like a 600€ 4,8" is supposed to.
Same story for me. Second SGS3 with a yellow tint. If I tilt the phone up or down slightly the whites look right.

Exactly. Nobody that got GS3 with whites real white without tilting the phone up or down?
I've noticed that the color on my Prime is a bit flat, nothing like my Samsung Galaxy SII phone. Is there an app or a tweak so I can punch up the color a bit, make it more vivid? I'm unlocked, rooted, and all that fun stuff, any ideas?

You will never achieve the same vivid colors cuz the gs2 has an OLED screen and the prime just has an LCD. OLED screens produce more saturated color and blacker blacks. Sorry if I told you something you already know.

No you make a good point, I hadn't thought about that. However I'm still curious if there's an process by which I can tweak the overall contrast. Again while my SGII may be better tech than LCD, it's got a option to switch between three distinct color palates. I dunno, maybe I'm asking too much.
I guess I know what you mean. The colors of the prime are a bit under saturated. Some more than others, it seems to be a bigger problem with the green, the others are more or less acceptable. But because of the green the screen as a whole looks a bit dull.
The best way to see this is to download the app display tester. Set it to a color and compare it to for example to your computer screen when it's displaying the brightest version of a color in paint.
I'm certain that the prime needs some sort of gamma fix, but I haven't found out how to do it.

Default, it's more than good enough.

Compared to z5 the display seems a bit more on the yellow side. Ive increased the blue level.

I think increasing the blue color will damage the screen in long term use if I'm not wrong
sRGB profile is more realistic and "white color is white color". On standard color looks very pleasing but the white color is broken to kind of yellow tune. which is very visible on Settings for example.

I have read in somewhere that in IPS LCD yellowish screen work better than blue one to show black color.
maybe this is the secret behind the crisp looking screen of the XZ1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
iPhone 4 had the same issue !
now it is Sony turn to tell us about the yellow screen ?!
