What are some of your white balance settings? Seen someone post red 20 and blue 60. is that going to be the best?
Currently have Crizal Prevencia non glare coating on my glasses and it gives everything a yellow hue due to the blue violet light blocker in the coating. It's giving me a bit of trouble dialing it in. thanks in advance.

I have tweaked mine again and rgb around 5,20, 30 is better. But off course different people different taste. Mine obviously prefer bluish white. But generally the blue is the weak spot and the red one is quite strong. The green is in the middle, but very sensitive to the red value (red and green as yellow). So in the end try it yourself

But i am still tinkering with it
Just a headsup, yesterday when i was originally setup the balance of rgb to 5,20, and 45, my girlfriend (which is a graphic designer and she usually uses a Mac in her work) said that it's bluish to her liking when she handled it, so we tinkered with it and she said that when rgb was set to 0,0,0 it is truer to a real white. So.. I don't know bout you guys but after that comment i can say that this whole white balance thing is really for personal preference only. One setting does not mean much to other's preferences.

Yep I found 0,0,0 just fine, maybe 0,0,5.
Also remember perception of white will differ with differing ambient light

Some prefer more red and some more blue. But for it to be "correct" it should be on the warmer side.

Hi guys, I have a really general question. What color do your buttons light up? The ones on the bottom, the menu, home, back, search buttons. I just bought a refurbished I777 and they are this off white, kind of yellow color.
Every other version of the S2, the skyrocket, the Tmobile version, has this really nice white/blue color. Went to an AT&T store today but they said they have never had a display model of the S2 for me to compare.
I even got a replacement refurb today thinking mine was defective, but its the same color! This ugly yellow color can't be right...can it?
Yes they're an off white/yellowish color. I agree the white/ bluish color would be way nicer. I've compared mine, store display and friends. They're all he same color.

Now that is a weird color combination lol.
But that is sad to hear, I will be the first to admit that I am probably too picky and that to most people it will just appear as white, but it's a bit lame when comparing to every other GS2 model
I keep mine off. Once you learn where they are, no point in having them using battery.
I leave them on all the time, its still nice to see them in the dark, and they take very little battery. (Like emptying your glove box to save mileage in your car)
I would say mine are white. A "warm" white. Towards the yellow side, but I don't see yellow. I had a Thrill that were not only much brighter they were "cool" white, towards blue. I like the warm white better.
It doesn't surprise me to see a variation. My wife and I had captivates for a year, each got one replacement. All 4 were slightly different. It was the brightness more than the color on them. One of them you could not tell when they were on, unless it was dark. One of them was uneven, the menu was brightest, search less bright, it took me a few months to notice, but after that I always noticed.

Yep, the at&t SG2 has an off-white light illumination. Compared to the Sprint, T-Mobile version and Skyrocket, you can definitely tell a difference. In my opinion though, it's more subtle. The T-mobile, Sprint and Skyrocket versions are a bright white and I find it a bit distracting.
Agreed, I like the color. Its soft, and doesn't distract

They should be white. I don't think any other color would look nice on our phones.

It's an off white, "warm white" color. It's not obvious until you compare it side by side with the Infuse, which has more typical "cool white" LEDs. The "warm white" LEDs are more consistent with incandescent lamps in terms of color temperature.

When I ran MIUI they stayed on all the time automatically. I wouldn't have used miui for so long if they didn't. I don't remember there being a setting for it, and I can't imagine the setting carrying over from stock ROM that was installed before. I'm running ICScreweD now, so I can't verify in the settings. IIRC there was a few posts in the MIUI thread asking how to not have them on all the time, but no way to change that.

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.

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.

Hi. Thank you for your reply.

I think it is more advanced than Screen Adjuster after reading his Twitter..

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?

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.

I'm extremely disappointed with the yellow (or pink) tint issue on my newly purchased S3. Seems that not all the handsets affected. Let's see how many.
Mine had it, got my replacement today and my replacement doesn't suffer from any tint. I recommend to whoever has this issue to get a replacement ASAP.
My pebble blue sg3 has no tint.
I have been through 3 of these phones because of this "issue". I am on the third and i turned off that setting just now to turn off the automatic tone adjustment. At first it didn't make any difference but i rebooted the phone and WOW. what a difference!!! Whites are white now haha at low brightness its not perfect but that's a limitation of AMOLED technology but at higher brightness settings all whites are amazing now!!

for the first combined two hours or so of usage, there was definitely a yellow tint to my S3. especially when compared to my housing (i have a white S3) or my case (bright white, whiter than the housing). open up the gmail app for instance, and the background white was tinted for sure.
that has changed however.
after the two or three hour (total) mark of usage, the screen colours changed. the white of the screen lost the yellow tint, and is cooler now, and matches the whiteness of my case. overall, very pleased with the screen, don't even care about PenTile.
i wonder if you guys are jumping the gun ... or if i'm just lucky?
any problem here ; )

I'm starting to think this is a coating or something on the display. Every single one I've had has it and it only shows in certain lighting. At work it's so apparent. In the store I couldn't see it. Also at max brightness it's barely noticeable.

I doubt very much that there's going to be a set of numbers that will apply universally in any meaningful way, because the displays are bound to vary widely in terms of their actual calibration.

Yeah, every display is different and every display changes over time.
You need to do an actual calibration to get it right and periodically recalibrate to keep it accurate.

Its hard to find two identical devices. Sony uses 2 or more screen manufacurers, thats why you cant use another person's settings.
White balance settings with color control is sweet
Try color control if you have root.
How is the screen uniformity on your Note 8 (outside of Adaptive display) I avoided the S8/S8Plus due to the red tints that affected portions of the screen, Ive seen a total of 20 display units for the Note 8 and only 7 had good screens the rest had 'dirty' screens when the display mode was changed to Basic/Amoled Photo, its a combination if either partial red tints or yellowish tints on sections of the screens and the demo units were just installed.
I check the screen with Basic mode, brightness under 50%, fire up chrome and check in landscape, also i use the stock sms app in landscape and i check if its grey background is 100% even from left to right.
I am just curious if Samsung has upped the quality control or its still all about panel lottery ?
EDIT:
Im more interested on feedback that is using Amoled Photo or Basic, as Adaptive mode drowns the screen with a more blue.

When say edges is it on the curved edge or even on the flat part at the top ? as I've noticed most of the red tint is from the top part.
Im also very sensitive to this, other things I have accepted like the grey full screen uniformity on AMOLED is just terrible compared to LCD.
I was hoping that this issue would be fixed. I had an S3 with bad color uniformity issues. My Note 4 is darker along the left edge.
Can't stand the tinting issues that these seem to have. Also dislike brightness uniformity. A lot. I understand that each panel is different from the next, but what is it that causes these issues?
this is why
It's better than my previous note, which was a 4 but still the white isn't as white as some lcd panels out there. I didn't notice any uneven red tint on the N8 either for mine or the wife's. Tilting and viewing and looking out for it I see it a little around the curves of the screen, nothing that concerns me. But there is some red tint in there but not as bad as some note 4 or 3.
Good thing is , there is an adjustment that can be made in the display setting to reduce the red hue should you feel the need. I'm liking it as it is in Reading mode.
My ZTE Zmax whites look better.

So to summarize, it's relatively uniform but I can still see a pink red crush/hue is present when white is being displayed. Using AMOLED adaptive reduces the red pink hue but looks like trash elsewhere.
So,yes it's still pink. Not much has changed since my Note 3 or 4 days. Then again those were pink or red in parts of the screen. Least the N8 is uniform pink.

I would also like to know the technical reason on whats causing it other than "manufacturing variance" and up until now samsung has not addressed such issues and some customers even struggle to have the devices exchanged.

I had a really good screen with my Note 3 and it was the reason why I skipped 4 and 5 due to the lottery.

Same here, but with my Note 4 one lower area was pink. T Mobile exchanged it and it was fine after the first replacement. The N8 is uniformly pink. LOL

No, I dont have the resolve to go through that exchanging bull**** anymore, too old for that. Ill either live with it, or send it back .
Last iphone I had owned was the the 3gs and 4s, yellow tint bull**** on those also.
I've had so many iDevices and Macs and never have I seen a screen that I'd even consider good, especially in the area of uniformity. Always darker on one side or the other. Always a bit more yellow here, than there. I've exchanged so many iDevices over the years because of screen issues. Every iPhone release is loaded with crap screens. At least according to all of the threads on various internet forums and groups. That is one of the reasons why I've never tried an iPhone.
FedEx lost my Note 8 and I might just say screw it and stick with the Note 4. My wife's Note 8 has the best screen that I've ever seen on any device with a screen. The brightness is completely uniform. I'd say that it does favor red a bit, but I'd hardly call it pink. Very nice screen.

Indeed, mines not pink like some of the S8 images posted. but there is some hue all over it especially as I normally run "basic" screen mode. Turned the red bar down a little and or use adaptive and makes it ice blue, I can live with it.
Another observation I noticed, if the screen is in Basic mode and I turn on Blue light filter setting, but turn down the bar for the filter to min, the slight pink hue on Basic mode goes away.
Can you adjust the colors independently in all modes or just adaptive display?
Just curious, isn't "warm" supposed be somewhat yellow color in tone ? It seems like when you make the screen warmer it goes pinker.

Seems just in adaptive mode.

I have a professionally calibrated workstation display at my office. Whites look like paper and I adjust everything to mimic it.
I was able to get really close by adjusting in adaptive mode.
Problem is with our devices we take them everywhere and the environment changes dramatically, bright, dark, pitch dark, etc.
This plays tricks on our eyes big time! So what may look perfectly fine in one scenario may take on a very blue or very reddish hue in another.
You will drive yourself absolutely crazy trying to adjust all the time!
Like an EQ on a stereo, you adjust contour for flat response and leave it alone! (but most people constantly tweak it!)
Find a reference point and you will be good.
My panel is very consistent.
You want to see a bad display look at the Surface Pro! They may have decent color when calibrated but when the lights go out HOLY BACKLIGHT BLEED!
I am so done with LCD and just want AMOLED on everything NOW!

While what you're saying is generally accurate, that's not what people who have the red tint or purple tint are complaining about. I've seen many amoled screens from Samsung flagships that I consider defective due to extreme hues that can't be "adjusted" to normal. In addition, only adaptive mode can be adjusted, so when the screen is bad, you cannot use any other screen mode without the tint ruining the quality of the display.
