Hi there folks! So over the years I have picked up some samsung devices like the note and S2, and I have had a problem with green tint on both. When watching an image containing a lot of whites or black, you see a strong green layer on the screen. Is this issue getting any better with the S3, or was I just unlucky on my devices? I am looking for a new cell phone, and would love to get an S3 but I don't know what to expect of the screen. If I get a S3 with a green tinted screen, is that enough to ask for a replacement?

Hi everyone,
I am a newbie of Android and I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 at the virgin mobile this morning.
I didn't realize it at first but when I got home I found some disappointing camera shots............
Instead of the red spot that people are talking about elsewhere, my pictures shows some yellowish spot at the middle under the auto white balance...........
I checked the back of the phone and it says it is made in Korea, does that make a difference? Would that be a software problem or a hardware problem. Is there anyway to fix the problem?
I like this phone a lot and I don't wanna exchange it because it has an awesome screen.........but if the yellowish spot is a hardware problem then I have no choice...............
Welcome to the club, but that seems more like green to me. I envy you for being special, everybody else has a pink spot
It depends on lighting and white balance, sometimes I get a pink spot, sometimes a green one, just choose a different setting and see which one gives you the best result

Thanks! but neither of them wouldn't be a "good result", I am just wondering if it is a software issue since I have no problem of taking black and white photos...........if it could be fixed with new firmware release then I can wait...........if not then I will just exchange for a new one.
I wanted to test the super amoled screen of our sgs3 and see that black black its display can show !
Since i came from an HD2 , i thought for a while that the sgs3 had the blackest black i've ever seen.. but then curiosity came in and after some tests, it turned out that e.g the galaxy s 2 has a better black and that on sgs3 it is still a bit grey !
Also cheched a black photo to compare it with Nokia's N8 clear black display ..and got beaten as well >_>
I use Multitouch Visible Test to test the black of the devices along with the contrast of the colors when i touch the screen.
All tests have been done at night or at a very dark environment since at day there seems to be no difference.
My question here is :
Can you please confirm that this is a common thing among all of sgs3 users and not a display problem of my display ?
The gs3 lacks the true blacks that are possible with oled tech. I presume it was a compromise Samsung is making for some technical reason.
At first the grey tinge bothered me at night. Now, I don't care; the screen still looks gorgeous.
That said, when you first power on the screen, there is a brief moment where the blacks are truly off - ala gorgeous true black. The tinge might be modifiable in firmware or drivers, but I bet Samsung is lighting all the pixels for a reason.

Exactly my observations and thoughts ! Thank you my friend at least it is not only me
of course it is still a great display .
I really feel its to reduce the black clipping in dark images and videos which are prevalent on the Galaxy Note and the galaxy nexus.
There was a software solution to reduce the clipping with an app called "Screen Adjuster" which, basically reduces the contrast and makes black "grey". The plus point was that, there is no clipping then.
So I guess samsung has done the same to the S3's screen as maybe they realized that the clipping us a Pentile HD AMOLED limitation.
This maybe helps?

Surely if rooted it's possible to set up a toggle for the standard 'true black'? I used to use the s2 to read white text on a black background and it was very satisfying to see only the white text with absolutely no glow. This was one of the reasons I went for the s3 over the one x.
Hello.
I bought Salaxy S4 here in Europe but I have one problem from the beginning. When I look directly to the screen white and other colors looks great. But when I look to the screen just a very little more from the side white color get blue color in it. I know that viewing angles gives you different colors to the screen but on my S4 specially white color changes too quickly to my taste. I tested two S4 in two different shops and one have the same problem or even worst but second one looks a lot better. Anyone has this problem too? I am really disapointed and angry because this phone is expensive and colors of the screen looks different from the phone to the phone. It is like a lottery. I had S3 but I don't have this problem.
Hi there.
I think most of you know the problem with the "peeling" of the ink of the grey bezzel that surrounds the screen of any S3 that usually comes off.
What I would like to know is...has anyone found a good and solid solution?
I have a "almost perfect" Pebble Blue S3, if not considering the bezzel and would like to do something that would not make me change the screen.
I've bought new galaxy s3 and i have this problem. When looking straight on it has yellowish tint, when i tilt the phone just a little bit in any direction yellow becomes white and it looks normal. I never had amoled phone before so I don't know if this is normal.
I already saw phones with greenish tint
My mother's S III mini is like this...
It's the problem for AMOLED screens, you can end up buying one of them that lacks color accuracy and mostly it can be noticed on the tiles of android 4.1.2 from Samsung!!!
