Yellowish tint, should I replace it? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

I received my phone from flipkart today. It is the 3/32gb model. There's a yellowish tint to the phone, Should I get it replaced as it's within the 10 days replacement period. Is this a defect?

Check display settings. Can't remember the exact option heading but I set mine to "cool" and it's perfect

Dont replace
That is not a problem. Xiaomi got those full HD displays from three different manufacturers. One looks white and the other give an yellow tint output.
So this is not a display issue.

Mi a1 to set in yellow display
I have bluesh white I need to set in yellow mode how to get it, explain the setting please

Yellow tint in the lower half of screen?

Does anyone else have the same problem? Particularly obvious when you're using apps with white bg, such as the default email/contacts app...any way of resolving?
No yellow tint at all on mine.

It seems you got a defective screen.
It is unfair that you can't return the phone.
Is it in warranty? Send it to sony customer support for repair.

warranty yes...yup, guess i'll bring it in and hope for good news.
Yes, I had the yellow / red hue on the screen on my Z2. I can confirm that there are different screens on the market. I have seen two Z2 with completely normal neutral greys and two with the yellow/red hue. I returned mine and searching for a better unit...
Here is a example picture of a bad and good Z2 displays. The one on the right looks right against any other LCD.
check --> settings - display - white balance make red , green and blue "0"
i have yellow tint on mine as well, just got it yesterday.
White balance was at default 0,0,0
set red > 0
green > 100-110
blue > max 255
and youll get a cool white display without yellow tint
In all honesty if you have to set blue to maximum to get white, something's wrong surely.

Yeah just out of curiosity i set mine to the numbers provided, it looks horrible, your display must be defective

In my example picture above, both screen are at 100% manual brightness, and RGB white balance settings are 0,0,0.
If it is normal that two screens are so different, the tolerances in manufacturing are horribly large. Not at all acceptable for this price level of products. I returned my yellow screen to the store and we tried to find a unit with a normal screen but it looked like all their stock was with the yellow screen. Annoying, as I have seen two perfectly good neutral screens on my friends' Z2 units.
Not sure if I should continue buying and returning in a different place or just throw in the towel and get another brand and model phone entirely.
Same here, set to quoted values screen looks dimmer and very blue.

i guess it is a subjective thing...i swore i could see certain parts of the screen having yellow from time to time, but the technician at the service center said no, and my friend said no either. i must be getting old

My screen is a bit yellow by default, but changing the white balance sorts it (nice of Sony to pop that in). To be honest I don't really notice it unless I put it next to another phone anyway. My phone was made in China and is the black model. I believe it's Phones4u stock, for what it's worth.
What is annoying though is that my screen appears to be a tiny bit askew... I noticed straight away that the front glass is, but now I'm sure the screen itself is. Will have to find the measuring tape to know for sure.

and the funny thing is, the technician told me that it was really about luck - he has TWO Z2s, one pre-prod and one post-prod, and both are perfect(he was kind enough to let me play around with em - i suppose he uses it as his personal phones)
Oh well...did a water test and my phone survived, so i guess i'll live with it(gaps,SLIGHTLY off centered camera, overheat)

Yellow Tint

Hello,
I was just wondering if this is a hardware error or software error but my screen seems to have a slight yellowish tint, but the very bottom seems more white.

I'd guess it's because of glue which is used to hold screen and glass panel together. Probably it haven't dried yet. Wait couple of days and screen should lose it's yellowish tint. If not then RMA the phone.

So I ordered a OPX on 8th Nov and got it on 10th Nov, What an awesome device with brilliant Display !!!!
Then my cousin saw it and wanted on for himself, so I ordered another one for him on 11th and got it on 14th ...
But when I saw compared both the phones, I realized that my OPX's display has a Yellow Tint
So after the Moto X(gen 2), Nexus 5X ... The OPX also has the same problem ...
I wonder what might be the reason behind this and why none of the company ever commented on this issue before ????
I want all of you to check your device and see what type of display you have, so that we may be able to conclude which one is defective, and if a particular batch is affected .
Here is the information of my 2 OPX :
1.
Month and Year of Manufacture: Oct 2015
Month and Year of Import : Nov 2015
QC: 2003D
Date : 2015.10.21
Yellow Display : YES

I've read about a slight blue tint when looking at the display from an angle, in several video reviews.
I've came here to rant as well, bought the OPX and have used it for a few days, mine also has the yellow tint issue on the top half of the screen (bottom half is a nice white). It is visible on day to day use which makes it annoying. Would've been able to live with it if the whole display was slightly yellow but the fact that part of it is and part of it isn't bugs me.
I've seen possible solutions like using a hairdryer of leaving it on the car dashboard but this issue is not my fault-I shouldn't have to go through **** to fix it. OnePlus better do something about it or I want my money back.
I've opened a ticket/RMA hopefully they get back to me early next week.
On a side note camera isn't as good as it could be, sd card bug is annoying, battery isn't great. My LG Spirit served me better to be honest.

Yeah, once the kernels implement colour correction it will be fixable.
Think back to Nexus 4, so many people were running different colour profiles lol
I don't know if it's plcaebo or it really happened. I stay in Mumbai which has a hot and humid climate (40degree is normal for us) and went to a cold place with temperature around -5 degree. I noticed that the screen got a yellow tint but it got back to normal once I got to warmer place. Now it could just be my illusion. Could anyone with some knowledge on this opine on this??

Redmi note 3 yellowish display

I have ordered 2 redmi note 3 32 gb gold one from mi last month and 2nd from amazon 10 days ago.
1st phone showing white disply its ok but 2nd phone showing slightly yellowish disply..
anybody facing same problem?should i replace the phone? or its commen? See the images..
Have you tried disabling automatic contrast (i.e. setting contrast to "standard") on both phones and comparing again? The only other think I can think of is maybe there is more than one manufacturer for the screens and this might be normal?
mine also yellowish

There's another thread on the miui forums pretty identical to this. As the others have said, it's due to the display provider, none of your units is faulty. Most of us have the colder looking display. You can send back the other unit if it's really an issue for you.
Recently I replaced my screen and the new one had a terrible yellowish tint compared to the older one. It was like the phone was on night mode all the time and the white colours where more like yellow than white. I tried to mess with colours in kernel adiutor and by reducing the green value things got a little better, not like the old screen but colours where bearable. Today I took the decision to move from miui to cm and when I booted to twrp colours seemed very normal but I thought that maybe it was in my imagination. But after flashing and booting in cm I see now that colours are perfectly normal like my old screen. So I'm starting to think that the yellowish tint has more to do about miui's settings than the different screen models. Maybe whoever has that yellow tint could try to switch to cm and if the problem does not exitst any more it is definitely a miui problem.

POCO F1 image retention or LCD burnout on MIUI stock ROM please help.

Hi there, I am using 6/64 GB variant POCO F1 for one and a half years recently I noticed problem like screen burning, on my display. If I use any app for 5 to 10 mins I see a shadow of the same app for 20-30 mins behind the screen. It is more clearly visible in dark mode or dark grey background.
Is there, anyone facing the same issue or knows whether it is a software issue or there is something wrong with the LCD panel? And if its a hardware issue where in India can I change my LCD panel for a good price with good quality?
I posting the Pictures of Screen shadow below, please check it out.

It's a hardware issue. Have an issue like that too. It happens intermittently, but isn't really an issue for me anyway because when I switch to another app it's not too noticeable. Usually happens when I read manga since the screen is mostly white, then there's artifacts for a while then is barely noticeable.
As to where you can get it fixed in your country, sorry I'm not from India so I don't know. But if there's a Xiaomi store/service center they should be able to help you
You can greatly reduce that effect on stock MIUI by going to Display > Color Scheme and change it from Automatic to Standard. Been having the same issue for about 8 months (my device is 18 months old), other than that, haven't had any other display problems, so there isn't much of a reason to replace the lcd pannel (unless you're still under warranty).
Had the same issue with a replacement screen, but after some time i decided that it bothered me too much, so i decided to replace the screen again, and now everything is fine.

what was the cost of screen replacement and did you replace the screen in MI service center or in a local shop?
Well i was able to fix it by using lawrun oc build i implemented the amoled color option and i don't have to suffer from this problem anymore.

Display woes

So i swapped my first device kinda wish i hadent as the screen was great.
New device has green tint anything below 10% (this i can just about live with as i just raise brightness). However i recently noticed in direct sunlight yesterday that i can barely see screen and it tints purple (yes i have adaptive brightness on)
Now something really strange in bright sunlight when a shadow casts across a white screen , the shadow against screen is green has anyone else noticed this ......?
.
hard to capture properly as spare phone is an old iphone but the green shadow is from my hand which can be observed above , also notice how the white tints to purple.

Well the green tint below 10% i don't experience with my phone.
The other notion/complaint, is just natural properties of an OLED panel, all my previous phones had the purple in sunlight tint.
probably the brighter sunlight reflecting in one of the physical layers of the panel. Nothing you can get rid off unless you want LCD.

Look, the picture you took in sunlight is normal behavior and physics.
The low light low brightness pictures are indeed not normal, indeed should be exchanged for another device!

exactly the same as on mine.. will probably send it back
Just got new phone July batch , first impressions are a lot less green tint ..... thank god June panel was a joke July panel I think its still there just a lot less this time ... will see later this evening and post picture back.
black bar across top i can see but not to bothered about this in all honesty.
Colours have to admit whites are cleaner as a result but rest look to be calibrated identical to last panel.
I think my first panel dated May was the best colours just seemed to wow instantly , everyone who saw phone commented on display in a positive manner.

Here, this is how mine looks like at min brightness: green tint and horizontal bar

Might that be because your device is prior to May on build?
I think it’s pointless replacing now I’ve had three models and it seems inherent now from my own experiences.
Do you use dark mode?
Sorry for the questions just trying to get some feedback
I’m only speculating but my latest device also has it my only device which didn’t have it was built in May , I’m wondering if the early batches had good panels for reviews etc and they cheaped out after that to bring production costs down (speculation as I say) but seen this before with other companies.
One thing I’ve noticed on my latest device is it goes a lot brighter than my previous June model. I’m thinking if I want to keep this device, I’m going to have use light mode which is a shame, if we had root we could just black out all the grey parts like status bar notifications etc and mask issue.

not sure about your theory abt early batches; my device's QC date is April 22 and yet I have display issues
seems this type of issues are pretty common with this panel which is used by both Oppo and OnePlus

yep, seems so.. a lottery
the thing is that I can see this issue only at very low brightness, somewhere below ~15%
and in everyday use the display is perfect (I anyway always use light theme)
but then again it bothers me knowing it is there
on the fence now:
send the Oppo back (already have return label) and try luck again with OP8 Pro (order placed, should be dispatched tomorrow; I sent back my first OP 8 for a refund due to same display issues)
or just live with it, keep Oppo and cancel OP 8 order...
