I'm also the proud owner of a samsung galaxy s2. However, when it comes to new devices, everything i buy, i want to know if everything is correct!
Now i came across these pics on another forum i visit. But I appreciate this forum more(was only reading untill now), as I can see alot of the people are like me here. Exploring every little thing that could be wrong with the phone and not saying it's annoying to ask a lot of questions.
Now this is the problem i came across, haven't seen it anywhere else here, tough i read somewhere else abouth a blue-ish tint on the screen.
These next pictures have the same brightness, and all the same display settings too! So no lcd automatic power management(i don't know the right english word).

As you can see here the right picture has slightly "harder" colours. But it seems like the left had more contrast. The yellow lines stay yellow on the left one, on the right it's orange allready.
Left one clearly blue ish shine.
Now as I hold my own phone in the same positions as the picture standpoints, i can see mine is also like the blue-ish one with whole white screens.
Can anybody check this on their phone, as I now am worrying wich one is the one Samsung intended it to be?
Also a little other question, does this "automatic screenpower adapting" also changes the whites more to grey on your phones? When i turned it off it changed alot.
I've also seen those pics on Tweakers and checked my screen but I don't see any blueish hue on my screen. However it's hard to check because I don't know how the "other" screen looks like in real life.
Most people won't be able to notice the blue-ish hint on their screens without having another non blueish screen for reference. But I've had 4 Galaxy S2's pass through my ownership, and all of them have this blue-ish tint.

Yeah i know, wouldn't have noticed it myself. But just by comparing my phone to the blue ish one, i could see mine was like the blue ish one immediatly.
The other one has more of the pink hue like more of the lcd screens is guess...
What causses the difference, is it just some little layer?
Do you think we can talk abouth one of them being broken?
very large keyboard which one is it .
One on the left looks like wrong display settings from the pictures .
But the pictures are not good enough to clarify .

I can tell you that, in real life, mine looks like like the blue-ish one from those angles. However when i look straight on to the phone it's not like that, it's pretty white, like the 3rd picture but without the blue in the left corner.
It's taken with a good camera.
It's not broken. I'm convinced it's a software problem. The colour temperature is set incorrectly, it's too 'cold'.
If you load up a video in the stock video player app, then go into the settings menu, and make a mental note of the white colour of the menu, then go into colour tone, and set it to 'warm', notice the menu now has a much more neutral white and isn't as blue? Unfortunately the colour tone settings set in the video player isn't saved for else where on the phone.

Thanks, but doesn't change much. It's just a sort of coating. When i just turn it to idle, and i reflect in in outdoor light, I can see some sort off the same blue ish hue on it... You can test it like this...
So very strange what it is...
Ah yeah I see.
Well my other theory is that due to the way AMOLED displays work, as we all know they die out over time, getting increasingly dull with age. But with AMOLEDs, blue pixels have a much shorter lifetime than the Red/Green pixels.
SO my theory is that either there is blue 'cast/coating' over the screen or that the blue pixels have simply much boosted 'intensity', so that over time as the blue pixels age quicker than the other pixels over time, this blue cast/coating/boosted intensity will mean that the blues will still match the other pixels as they age much slower.
Didn't Supercurio release a color fix in his Voodoo kernel for SGS ? I guess you'll need to wait for a similar fix for the SGS 2 series .

Theres supposed to be a setting called Background Effect where you can choose between dynamic, standard and movie. Maybe thats the difference

I tried that personally, changing it from Standard to Movie helped the problem a fair bit, but it's still there. Dynamic didn't seem to make much difference.
Hmm. Could it be a software problem? Have you tried reflashing it? Or maybe its the problem with the Gorilla Glass.
Does anyone know if the phones in those comparison pictures are both retail? Maybe one is a proto

Phones from a couple from holland. Posted on tweakers.net.
Anybody compared their phone from those viewing points? And see if the blue ish hue is visible?
Hmm it seems the difference is there. My phone is with my friend and his phone is less brighter than mine. This maybe because he has used his phone while mine is new.
Gutted...
I hadn't heard about this but my SGS2 is definitely Blue-ish compared to a white screen on my laptop LCD :-(
Can you take them back and get replaced on this? (I have also put a small but deep scratch in mine, so hoping this would be basis for a replacement)
boch501
Well I brought mine back to the store for a refund, it's just too annoying for me.
Especially when you put it to an angle. The screen of my galaxy s 1 is far superior in this respect
I will wait for a newer batch to see if the problems are solved. I do read very little about this problem, does that mean it's just a problem with few devices or most people just don't care/notice it?
Any news about not-blueish displays?
Is there any possibility to find a near white perfect display, or all display suffers of the same bluish issue? (yesterday I've checked a pair of samples here in Italy, and both were quite blu in my opinion)
I've read that blu oled pixel lifetime is lower than other colors, so Samsung could intentionally push blu pixel in order to compensate color balance in the long term.
Also Gorilla Glass is a bit bluish, so it could contribute to increase the overall blue dominant.

No news anymore.
But I am deffinatly sure that my blue tint is not coming from the screen. When i turn my screen off and reflect it in some light and play with it, i can clearly see that it still is blue...
Here are some pictures taken from engadget... You can see it here.
This one shows it....
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
This one does not. So look carefully.
Hi everyone, I had a rather odd issue (if you can call it that) and would love to see if a few of you could maybe try to replicate it.
It's on my recently obtained Galaxy S6 Edge. Whenever I tilt the phone up, down, left, or right, I get this blue tint that appears, it's most noticeable when displaying a white screen.
Also, do the whites on anyone's GS6 or GS6E look a tad yellowish? I upgraded from a One M8 so maybe it's just me still adjusting to 'truer' and less blue whites compared to LCD, but they definitely look a little 'dingy' compared to my M8
Anyways, does anyone else experience either of these things? Should I get a replacement, or am I just nitpicking? (It's probably the last one)
I would recommend downloading a burn in/stuck pixel checker from the play store, and put it on a solid white to check.
Thanks
I've got the black one and my display looks exactly the same way. Coming from an iPhone it could just be that I'm also not use to Amoled displays, but idk for sure. Kind of irritating.
Yeah, from what I've read, what we find to be kind of a dingy white is actually more accurate.
But I'm sure we'll get used to it. You're right though, for the time being it is a little annoying.
I could live with it if I didn't see how crystal white it can be when not looking at it from dead on. I may try to swap for a unit that doesn't suffer from the color shifting so badly.

My thoughts exactly.
I've asked a few people what they thought, and they all seemed to think that the color shift had a more discolored grey/blue color compared to how it looked straight on, and that it looked better straight ahead.
I have minor colorblindness so to me, it looks like a more pure white from a bit of an angle, and more dingy straight on.
Idk, I'll go in to my carrier and compare against the display units when I can.
I will say though, I was in best buy the other day and the display units they had there had the same issue.
Well I got mine at best buy and I don't seem to remember the display units having that but to be fair when I first saw their display units all was thinking was "DAMN!!!!!" it was so beautiful.

Yeah, I very well could be mistaken.
To be honest, I'm wondering if the display on the standard S6 may be better.
Mine has the same exact effect. T-mobile, 32gb, black edge- Display shows warm, yellowish-white straight on and shifts to cooler blueish-white (preferred) at the slightest of tilts. Love the phone despite some of its quirks but I found this issue to be quite annoying- enough to return it today. My configuration is now on back order via phone support. I'll take that as a sign and keep monitoring if the new batch presents the same issue.
Yeah, I think I decided after a few minutes of pondering in the shower, that I'm going to return my S6 Edge tomorrow, and go for it's standard sibling. it's just to much money to spend for something that not exactly the way I want it, and from what I've heard, the standard S6 has the most well calibrated, accurate display there is.
Anyone know if at&t will charge a restocking fee after 2 days?
Yeah they probably will, cheap bastards, I'm gonna try exchanging for a new one in two weeks. Hopefully by then there will be all new batches without any issues that exist in the current ones. If not then oh well, I like the wrap around display too much to consider the regular s6

On your phone are the top and bottom cooler in tone than the middle. I could easily live with it if it stayed the same tone from top to bottom but mine really only send warmer in the middle area.

Just turned on Adaptive Display which seems to make the whole screen more uniform in tone temperature however angles are still a bit of a..... well..... bi*** because they remind me of the pure white coloring I've grown to know so well. But I suppose this is far more livable than before which was almost unbearable (thanks OCD).
May still try to swap for a new unit in a week or so just to see if anything has changed.
Sent from my Samsung GS6edge
Yeah, I just ran by my carrier (at&t unfortunately ) to compare against the display units there, all of them (including the standard s6) had it just as bad if not worse than mine.
To be totally honest, the whites look most accurate from dead on the more I use the phone. At different angles they look to washed out with blue and unrealistic.
Personally, if I were you, I would just keep your phone, maybe go in to a carrier to see for yourself if you spot any difference in the display models.
No two AMOLED panels are alike, but at least in my case, the one I got is just as good, if not better, than the in store units I saw.
So we bought a few iPhones and an S6E, and held them side by side with max-brightness.

It was definitely more yellow, guess it got color-corrected, point of the matter is there's a pretty significant color difference. Also found another color difference in the back LED's.
S6 is distinctly yellow.

At least your edge's screen looks uniform in tone from top to bottom. I have to use Amoled photo mode for get rid of the difference at the top and bottom and even then there is still some. Plus in this mode colors aren't quite as vibrant.

From what I've read, the S6 and S6 Edge have the most accurate white balance on a mobile display to date based on an sRBG color gamut.
Could it be that the iphone white balance is simply set much higher (less accurate, but what people are used to)?

But if it's a purely white image (that is to say, an image solely comprised of the hex code #FFFFFF), should it not display as close to a true white as possible, rather than a blue/yellow tinged colour?

I'm saying that from a sRGB perspective, true white is a little warmer than what the iphone (or most LCDs) show.
If I recall correctly, I think the iPhone is set at a white color temperature of around 7800k, whereas the galaxy S6 is set at 6450k (with basic screen setting). 6500 is perfect white on an sRGB gamut.

Sounds about right, although I'm actually starting to think my particular display might be a bit off. Definitely getting reddish hues on my whites, whereas I'd imagine a warmer white would be yellow. Way too much variance between each unit.

Yeah, I recommend going into a store and compare
ring against the display units.
I did that today and found that they were all pretty similar in appearance, but if yours is defective you'll definitely know from comparison.
I figured I'd create this thread to discuss the build quality if the Nexus 6p and have it all in one thread instead of every issue having its own thread.
I got mine on Wed and noticed a pink hue right away. I know this is common with amoled but I have seen cases of it where it's worse than others so I chat in today to get a replacement but I just noticed something else on my unit. The back is creaking when I press it. It makes a very audible sound and I can feel it give a little bit. I made a video showing it. Another thing I noticed is when my hand was along the seem where the display meets the body and I would press, I would feel the display dip down a little bit. Like there was a little give. Anyway, I'm glad I have a replacement coming

My screen is really good. I was worried about that because it can be a total crapshoot and I wasn't going to accept a piss yellow screen. My whites are very white. I might tweak it every so slightly but overall my screen is excellent.
My body is perfect as well. No clicks, noises or anything when pressed and my screen is properly flush around the entire device. Pushing on the corners does nothing, there is no screen movement. The back camera glass is also perfect.
Really my only beef with the device physically is design not quality issue. I wish the volume and power were higher and preferably on different sides. They are too low and where my hands go for holding the device. I'm not having issues with them, just something I'g change if I were king at Gtown.
Overall I'm very happy with my unit. I would certainly of filed for exchange if there was something that bugged me.
how is the vibrator? quiet? rattling like nexus 6?
As Aridon said no issues here,I have the Pinky blue hue if you turn the phone Flat looking down it ,but that's just amoled,using at it should be no screen issues

*waits for the smutty jokes :angel:
My build came pretty good, screen is flush, haven't noticed any pink or blue or yellow hue, no rattling, the only small thing is the bottom back antenna cover isn't very flush only on one side though, not too big of a deal I guess. Probably wouldn't have noticed it if I wasn't looking for it. Kind of off topic but I've only been getting about 3 1/2 hours of screen on time. Kinda curious how other people get more...
I've already had 2 devices.
Both came with imperfections on the ali, the raised plastic bit at the bottom on the back like almost everyone seems to have, "wobbles" on the screen where its not flush all the way round, screen is crap compared to my HTC one m7, its yellow and pink/blue when you tilt it any angle, I've only had them a few days....
I waited a long time for this device and I'm seriously disappointed and don't know what to do now, I expected a perfect solid phone, I can get over things as they are I think but I'm worried that over a month or two it'll have more issues due to the soft ali etc. Yes I will buy a case but after 6months I'll want to use it naked. My m7 didn't get any scratches on the metal but this will 100%
Build quality seems good to me, no rattling buttons, scratches, raised screen etc, the aluminium to plastic join at the bottom seems fairly smooth, you can feel there is a change but it's not bigger on one side. Personally though the screen is a bit weird. Face on its great but even tilting the device a few degrees you can see whites change to pink or blue depending on the angle. It's whiter than my Nexus 6 head on but the colours change at less of an angle.

Seems like you got real lucky having none of the issues posted around (of which the 2 devices i've received have all!)
What about this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/rattling-inside-phone-t3237500
I don't know if i can be bothered trying a 3rd time, its back in stock on GPS i could order another one and return this RMA (if they let me). Chances are they will be exactly the same, my 2nd one even turned up with finger prints on the plastic cover, call it petty but it says a lot about the factory to me.
Build quality on my unit seems nearly perfect. No clicking or rattling. Rear lower plastic cap isn't raised. Out of the box there was some very slight smudging just below the rear visor glass. I was afraid it was scratched aluminum but a little moisture and friction rubbed it out.
My display however does seem to shift colors at angles. And it's also a muddy yellow compared to the One M8 LCD panel. Could just be that that's true white and I'm used to a cooler blueish white but when comparing side to side the LCD panel is actually preferable to my eyes. Shifting the screen seems to make a pinkish cast, on the nexus 6 I previously owned I would see a sort of greenish cast.
It seems this is just a property of oled panels.
Am I right in thinking that the only problematic units have been those shipped to the UK?
My build was good, but my screen is yellowish and my phone keeps random rebooting. I have an idea RMA coming, and I ordered an aluminium 6p coming as well. I've already scratched some of the paint off the graphite

This is what is troubling me switching from a Oneplus One. The 6p is my first AMOLED phone and the color shift at different angles and the off white color has me worried. This is normal for OLED?

Plinkous, compared to the one which I'm gathering has a more cool (blue) tone, is the color that much worse... I have the one also and have become accustom to the whiter whites.... I have had the g2 and the galaxy nexus... The nexus was an amoled screen and i can say that screen had a more warm tone... Whites seemed warmer (less blue, more yellow if you will) than the one.. A note to point out is i was at my friends house and he has a galaxy s6.. I looked at his phone which is bone stock and thought, wow this screen is super white and bright... Then i put the one next to it and was blown away.. The One was brighter at full brightness and also way more whiter than the s6.. So im not sure with the "yellow tint" if that is a product of amoled screens, a better color calibration or what... One note as everyone sees and may be a way of perspective...... The sun is a kelvin rating of 5900... This in itself has a slight yellow tone when compared to say 7500 when comparing whites

No issues here. Everything is just perfectly assembled on my Aluminium 64. The screen is neutral, the back panels are flush, the screen and aluminum unibody do not have any gaps, there are no creaks that I have notices, and I haven't forced it to, but does not bend. I know Huawei is being called out as having bad QC around here, but I am satisfied. Much more so than I was with the old LG Nexus 5, which while a beast of a phone, has developed stress cracks in the black plastic frame over time, and nexus and LG letters have all fallen out. I stayed away from Nexus 5X, partly because these durability issues.
Must be lucky. I have no issues with my phone. It is perfect.

From the several nexus 6 units I went through yes the color shift is normal but to varying degrees. Each unit I had showed a different behavior interestingly, and I went through 4-5 (long story).
I did use a custom kernel and color calibrator to make the nexus 6 'true' white which I believe is 6500k (?) and compared to the LCD one m8 it was still a little yellow. However I know the m8 isn't tuned to be completely true to life, the colors have a bit more pop and were on the cooler side which I preferred.
On my T-Mobile h901, about a month ago I started noticing transparent images being left on screen from apps I use and from a notification bar. What I mean is for example when I use instagram then go to main screen, I can see transparent images of it on dark/grey colors. It kinda hard to see with a photo but it's is very obvious when looking at it. So I set blank grey image on screen to show you an example.

It is not just in some part of a screen, sometimes it's all over it. Can someone tell me what kind of problem is this and can I fix it? Or is this manufacturer defect?
Thanks in advance
I had this same issue. I cant say it was the cause but it started after I upgraded to Marshmallow which was when it became it available. I was stock MM. I reset the phone a couple of times but it always came back. I did a warranty swap.
Its called Image burn, when an image/icon stays on for a lengthy period of time, it causes a burn effect into the lcd screen. This use to be common for plasma tvs and older lcd tvs. To prevent this from happening, the image/icon has to change ie exit the app, open another app, turn off screen. Also the brighter the display, the quicker this burn effect takes place. I use lux lite to auto change my brightness settings and I set my display to turn off after 2 minutes.
The other day my phone was powered off but plugged in. I could see the google plus web page I had been on behind the large battery charging symbol.
Yesterday I have same problem on mine v10..any suggestions?

This is not image burn, or else the icons in the notification bar would be permanent. I get it too a lot, but the icons that are there change a lot. They disappear on their own. Not sure why or what the cause is.
I noticed this image retention issue a few days ago and observed that the G4 also has this issue with similar effect. I believe that LG's Quantum Display technology is the cause of this, considering the high contrast ratio and brighter brightness levels that it offers compared to regular LCD. Pretty much all LCD's are affected by image retention but I've only owned my V10 for around 4 months so I don't see how this could be happening so relatively soon besides the V10's and G4's amazing display being the Achilles's heel of both phones. I considered the fact that heat could be causing the issue for me since I live in Texas where it's almost always hot in the summer but I haven't tested yet to see if retention occurs in a cold environment.
For anyone else perusing this thread for this issue, best way to check for it is looking at the top area of your phone and pulling down the notification shade due to its grey hue. Downloading or making your own image with a pure grey background and viewing it in the gallery is a better method since the navbar buttons can be affected as well. Normally retention wouldn't be a problem beyond those areas if it wasn't for the fact that the entire screen is also affected by retention, simply reinforcing my previous statement about Quantum Display so look out for that too, especially in apps with constant UI elements and bright contrasting colors such as Hangouts, Google+, Snapchat, etc.
Best method of fixing this at the moment is replacing the display which warrants a $100+ purchase if you don't want to deal with removing the old LCD and gluing the new one in and that's assuming you can find a good display provider for the V10 with the same color bumpers as your V10, getting your phone replaced by your carrier or phone insurance provider if applicable or simply, moving on to a new phone. You can otherwise deal with the issue though it's pretty sad considering the V10 is the 1st phone I've had with the shortest lifetime behind it before I noticed flaws which were screen related.
I'll be checking on this issue with my own V10 throughout the coming days and months to see if the problem escalates any further beyond what we can all see already or not. Fingers crossed. :fingers-crossed:
EDIT 1(?): the retention in my case occurs along the status bar and navbar w/buttons pretty quickly, even at the lowest brightness and certain apps like Skype or Hangouts make retention more apparent, especially when you're watching a YouTube video with plenty of dark elements. In enough cases, the entire screen is ghosted, elements of previously used apps and even the keyboard visible in certain conditions. It doesn't really become noticeable in low light at the lowest setting but is a bit easy to spot with my normal brightness levels at 30-40% in dark colors. The ghosted images go away relatively quickly though only when the screen is off or screen is subjected to fullscreen activity like a game: white background 'washing' will take a bit longer and sometimes not work and image retention fading seems to take longer when the phone is charging.
Turn your brightness all the way up and use this on your phone whenever you have image retention. Best thing to do is leave it on overnight.

Turning the screen off is a more effective fix than the method you've given, and I've already tried this beforehand to no avail. Thanks anyways though.
Yea it does go away after a minute or 2
This is beginning to happen on my device. I run full bright (personal preference), but I have some serious ghosting, every now and then
I've had the same. It goes away on it's own. Normally affected me when I was on full brightness and switched to auto or phone fully died and plugged in the charger.
On LCDs it's not as aggressive to burn in forever like a plasma or AMOLEDs. Shut the phone off for a few minutes or use a flicking app that cycles through colors for a minute or two. I have one of those burn in apps and rarely use it because it tends to go away.
I had the same issue... had to replace the phone. It's a known issue. T-mobile will replace it for free.
But won't it just keep happening?

I had to exchange my v10 for a bad Mic. Anyway my first v10 did retain images. You could only see it when on a Grey screen, and of course it went away after the screen was off for a few minutes. Anyway, I've had the replacement for a couple months now and there is no image retention at all.
Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA Free mobile app
it goes away on its own, but there's a app called screen burn fixer and it can't be setup by timer and it works like a charm
So is the phone eligible for screen replacement under warranty for such image retention even if it disappears after some time . I asked the service guy. He said its normal.
I'm also seeing this effect but only in the soft keys area. There are ghost images of soft keys, noticeable only of course when the soft keys are hidden (e.g playing video in mx player with soft keys hide option, etc.) The problem goes away when the screen is turned off for a few minutes. I think it's normal as I have seen this issue in G4 and Note 4 as well.
the screen gets bluish when viewing at an angle like those cheap old tv's that you have to watch directly in front. Anybody else notice this? is this normal?

Never had this bluish tint on any phone before. Is there a setting for this? Im gonna wait for more replies to see if this is normal. I have 13 more days to return.
Mine has it but I don't find it to be extreme. I prefer the slight blue hue to some other devices that are slightly pink or yellow at an angle. I have to put my device at an angle I'd rarely (if ever) use to see the blue tint.

Actually is "normal".
All reviewers I read in my country (Italy) said something about blueshing whites with different angles, so I think that it's a common issue with the P-OLED technology ATM, so if it's a problem for you change phone and avoid the Pixel XL2 and the V30.

No, looking at your phone from an angle is not normal. Most people look at their phones head on.
Settings-Display-Screen Color. If it's on Normal you will see more blue hue. I changed mine to Photo and that reduced the blue significantly. There is a custom setting. Don't know if you tried this yet. If you did and still have an issue, then I don't know what to add...
Take Care!!

i guess u never had an amoled screen phone. galaxy s6 and s7 suffer from color shifting but samsung has better quality control over their screen since only a few devices has this. LG probably didnt care much about this issue and my guess is that most v30 have this problem. is lg first attempt on oled screen since the flex serious but they really need to work on their panel issue. dont bother exchanging.l since u probably going to get anothe device with same or even worse color shifting. if u cant live with it and want an lg phone, wait for lg g7 and wait for review to pops up.
this issue does not bother me and i already own a s8, s8 plus and note 8. v30 screen might not be good compare to those but to me it still a beautifull screen
on the side note. lg gave us 2 year warranty. maybe a new batch a few month ahead fix this issue and we can do a warranty replacement
This seems relatively widespread, although may be to differing extents, as there are reports of the same blue tint on angle for the pixel 2 xl which also have oled panels by lg
having the phone lying on a table makes me look at it at an angle all the time. this is an issue. Samsungs display are quite advanced over the LG displays it seems.
But I don't change the angle all the time while looking at the screen, so I don't notice it too much.
Also, whenever I don't have a uniform or white background, I hardly notice (although the tint is strong).
e.g. when holding looking from the bottom, which I do often (when it is laying in the table)
Any Ideas, if this will be fixed next year, or is this technology based and remains? (samsung has redish tint, e.g. IphoneX)
You can try these color settings. It seems to help lessen the blue tint. https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/v30-screen-colors-achieving-d65-white-t3695617
"Screen Color:*
Select Custom and hit the gear icon
Color Temperature: Cooler (slider all the way to the left).
RGB Levels:
Red: maximum
Green: maximum
Blue: MINimum
Result: x=.285, y=.325
If this is too green for you and you're ok with a little more blueness, decrease green until you're happy."

hardware limitation. Samsung's have it too just much less. i notice it sitting on a table also, so try to angle it right. aside from that it's a nice clean panel. it's 1 of only 2 complaints i have, this and no led. no big deal over here. nicer than my htc10 display, that's for sure. better phone, too.

Non-issue.
I look at my display straight on, when it's unlocked.
If I'm not actually holding my phone -- if it's on a table or on tilted Qi wireless charging pad -- then the display is LOCKED and the black & white "Always On Display" is showing me notifications. There's NO blue tint on AOD.
But if I'm holding my own phone and looking at it, reading emails, I couldn't care less about OTHER people not being able to read my screen due to some off-angle, slightly blueish tint. It's none of their business.
Maybe someone will yell at me, "Hey, tell LG to get rid of that off-angle blue tint so I can read YOUR emails better!"

I actually like that other people standing to the side probably can't read my emails or texts...
When my display is unlocked, I don't hold my phone sideways with the volume buttons pointing towards my eyes. So, I never see any blueish tint...

Agreed. It can be pretty severe but doesn't affect me at all as there's no need (for me at least) to look at such a small, handheld device from an angle. Would be an issue if it was a TV obviously. I guess some people might disagree if they need to look at their screen from an angle often for whatever reason, but if that's the case they should definitely go with another model.
Don't call a bug/quality issue a feature... that is just too lame. Of course Samsung has the issue, it tints red, but at a way lower rate. IPS is greater in many ways. Of course not in rich blacks.
Does anybody know if there are any display revisions within the V30? Some reports about the pixel (TheVerge) say that newer phones may be less affected.
The blue tint bothers me, but I really like the phone. Just wish there was a litte less tint.
Anybody know if there are different display versions? qualityise?

So the Pixels are now equal to the V30? Because theirs was even bluer than the V30.
I don't see it because I don't look sideways at either of my LG V39/V30+. phone. My wife hasn't said a word about hers either.

take 5 pixel2xl and 5 v30, they are all different in screen quality... that is what bothers me.
maybe they come from several production batches, but technically they are the same.
does anybody know if there are any screen hw revisions on either pixel2xl or v30?
I know that different people have different opinion about quality. some use pc monitors with TN panels... not because they are so nice to look at, but because they are gamers and the panels switch fast.
oled is a promising technology, but LCD is way more mature... If you don't see the tint or if it does not bother you, that is ok for me. but I see it alot, and it bothers me. because I use several devices all day long; and if my personal device looks inferior/different, then I don't like that for the price paid...
