Hi all,
I have a feeling that my Vibrant's colors are over saturated.
Is there any way of modifying the color settings to make them less saturated?\
Thanks
I think theyre not. Theyre just they way theyre supposed to be
Yes, Galaxy S colors are oversaturated by default.
I address this with current Voodoo color patches, restoring the saturation to its normal state.

So what, you're washing the screen out now? Awesome! I guess the next step is replacing it with a regular LCD so we can also miss out on those viewing angles and black levels.
The images you're looking at are probably oversaturated or have color distortion.
Yeah, they are definitely over saturated but I think its better like that. I would say that the iphone has a very good balance between normal and oversaturated colors but it just depends on choice.
I am a digital photographer by trade. I use pantone monitor calibration to get that perfect look then biuld printer profiles so what I see is what I print.
I ran the sensor on my vibrant it its up on all the primaries by 2-3 points. Many cameras add this, especially the point n shoots. We live in a high def oversaturated world. On the Vibrant to me this looks like an unscientific adjustment to fit the times. I can just see the Samsung tech guys with sliders and executives saying, "thats good, right there ". Yikes.
They did the same with the head phone output being inhanced and not transparent.
Not sure they thought they would run into us tech heads.
In all honesty it doesn't bother me a bit. I leave it as is.

If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the LG G6's display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The LCD is fairly color accurate all considering. This screen is very close to what I achieve using a hardware color calibrate with my work machines. The reds are not too red (faux saturation) and the cooler tones show up as prominently.
It's just a shame I can't hook up a hardware calibrator to it to test it.
Solid color accuracy
I am coming from a OnePlus 3T, so when first firing up the G6 I was a little disappointed. I couldn't believe how much more vivid the AMOLED screen was compared to the LCD. Well, now that I have been using the G6 exclusively for the past two days, I am growing quite fond of this screen. The colors are quite accurate and precise, just not as vivid/saturated as what I was looking at for the past 6 months. Liking this phone more and more each day.
The screen color temperature is definitely on the cool side, certainly higher than 6500K.
It is not pleasant at first for me. I've been using Nexus 6P on sRGB mode for more than a year, and the color saturation on the G6 under default, out of the box settings is disheartening.
To somehow mitigate this, what I did was to enable ComfortView, set at Low Setting. It's far from perfect, but that's better than nothing.
How is this compared to the S8/+ ?

From what I saw side by side compared to the S8+ at full brightness, I could see the whites having a more pinkish hue very slightly than the S8+. The S8+ having brighter highlights. Obviously, the S8+ also has deeper blacks, more saturated, and viewing angles are much better because of its AMOLED display. Other than that, the overall range of colours seemed fairly close between the G6 and S8+.
Not sure who will see this but I think the G6 LCD screen compared to an amoled like the one's on the oneplus 3/3t/5 and the s8/s8+ is just better in certain scenarios. There are some people who might be audiophile esque and want high fidelity and things like that. And there might be some people who like bass boosted beat headphones and other things like that which are not accurate at all but are enjoyable on a certain level. If you like big bass sound and you are that kind of person then you will like the amoled screen but I am personally not. I like knowing that what I see on my screen is what it is supposed to look like.
For instance the other day I was looking at a picture of the fifty shades of gray poster. It is supposed to be black and gray but it had a colored tint to it on the s8 compared to a g6 which looked as it should. All I am saying is that there are going to be times when the s8 because it pops colors so much will make what you see innacurate. And that might bother you or it might not. But it bothers me.
Exactly what Scape said. Tech people who know their stuff want accurate color reproduction and analytic sound. The wide mass wants flashy Colors and boomsound. Easy people rate phones by how saturated the phone looks. The more saturation = the better. This is complete BS for people who have knowledge about Electronics. Its like comparing people who buy a Classic car and put Chrome rims on it not caring for the paint because "CROME RIMZ M8". Where there are also people which buy a classic car, care to make it look as original as possible and know every part of their car.
The 2nd. Car may look boring to people, but its quality and worthwise extremely preferable. For example a natural Color reproduction can help when taking photos with the G6. If you take a photo on the Amoled Screen of a Galaxy, and then open it on your calibrated IPS, you will be flashed about how different it looks then on the phone. Thats not what you want.
Regarding the Bass... Well i like perfect color recreation but i hate neutral speakers or headphones, im quite a basshead but i still want a good clarity, deep stage and low noise.
Guys did anyone you tried screen color adjustment under settings-accessibility ?

Yeah, i kept my custom color setting enabled for a few weeks since the blue color looked way better. It is only when switching back to the default setting that i noticed how washed out the reds looked. I reverted back to the defaults.

True
I bought G6 after iP6S+ and I'm really disappointed from display over all. Blue is on G6 boosted as hell. At home I have calibrated displays and iPhone is much more closer. I can't watch photos (photographer) on G6 because of it. Even automatic brightness control is not ok for me. It's still dimmer than I want. LuxLite solved that but colors are terrible.
Why my phone is reporting me that I have screen resolution of 1440x2703 and PPI 544? https://imgur.com/a/lNXhw

This is bad news for me, I find the G6 screen beautiful (I am under 7.0) and I do not like at all the rendering amoled screens, precisely because of the saturated colors..
I found on 7.0 that the flesh tones on netflix and terrarium tv were way washed out.looked like everyone never saw the sun lol Na just saying I think LG just corrected the saturation a little bit to not make things so washed out looking.The reds are a little darker also instead of a orangey yellow tint.And like before the greens were not as dark .kinda reminded me of a mint or pastel green.Now on Oreo it is a true green and red.
Is there any app or any online guides to correct the LG G6 color accuracy and get true neutral white balance?
I have s8 and G6. I hate Amoled with that compotish colors. White is not white. Ever with pink or blue or yellow. Amoled is like woman with silicon tits. Far from reality. For me LG and Sony make most better displays.
Does anyone use this? I did for a while. I found it very good at adjusting the blues making them a bit darker FB looks much better IMO after I adjusted it
Hi !
I changed the display of the phone and the quality of it is not the same as the original (I had tianma)
I would like to know if there is option to calibrate the colors of the display, since they come very saturated and colors with little brightness or very dark
Thank you very much !
Hello RXT Users,
I bought a new Realme XT (6GB,64GB, Pearl White) Mobile, which works like a beast.
But within a week, I accidently noticed that the true deep blacks of Amoled display actually kills the surrounding Grey colour pixels especially in videos (or moving frames).
When I using Instagram, Samsung just posted some photos. when I try to swipe one photo horizontally, I noticed that the gradient colours (White to black) are like vanished some time and and a bluish shade is appearing btw the blacks and whites.
Then I started comparing this with other LCD panel, which is not doing these weird things. I also did a side by side comparison btw Realme XT and other LCD display by playing a dark horror movie. The results came was not expected.
First things first, the picture quality, colours, contrast and viewing angles are awesome in Amoled display, But the grey coloured details which are nearer to the black pixels are missing, they are completely gone.
Example:
• Original frame in the movie - A dark room with cupboards and interior.
• Picture shown in LCD display - white blushed dark room with cupboards and interior.
• Picture shown in Realme XT - A Deep Dark Black room with no interiors no cupboards or even no walls.
I can't understand why the Amoled display takes more time when pixels changes from black to grey colours, may it's because of low refresh rate.
Can anyone please tell the display refresh rate of Realme XT and try the above tests to clarify that I am not the only one who got these weird thing. Thanks in advance.
Note: I am using Amoled display for the first time.
This is quite disturbing to know. I was planning on buying XT and returning my Poco armoured, as it has ghost touch issues and I don't need that much processor power for daily usage.
Also, with XT getting started on development I hope I won't miss Poco. But with the above-mentioned issue, I'm getting skeptical because my primary reason to get XT was AMOLED display. I don't want to get disappointed by it.
Although it doesn't has ambient display and dark mode yet but I hope it'll be there in future updates.

After reading this post I checked my xt's display for the greys in dark scenes with my le 2 LCD display and I'm pretty satisfied. I was able to see most of the details of dark scenes that was visible on the other phone. Plus I found it's very vibrant as compared to the le 2 and brightness level is also much better.

Thats how amoled works.. Not problem phone.. Amoled screens are like that..
When viewing my S21 straight on colours are accurate but when viewing from an angle of about 30 degrees I have a strong blue tint.
I know AMOLED screens do get colour shift but this is stronger than I expected, do all S21s do this?

No issues on my S10 AMOLED display.
You can try to adjust colours in settings - display with several options. And there are color filters you can set in settings - accessibility - visibility enhancements.
Maybe it helps ... a little bit.
