My new Nexus has this bluish tint to the whites when not looking at the screen straight. I also noticed the same thing on a galaxy s2 over this weekend at the T-Mobile store. Is this a common thing on this phone and does anyone else have this?

Yes it is there since the original Galaxy S.
It's AMOLED, not LCD. I mean it's the screen technology that's producing that output, not the phone or something else. Google it, because it's a generic "problem".
OK, the reason why I asked thus is because I still have like 2 days to report anything defective with my phone.

It's normal. N1, SGS2 are like this too

It's a very common "issue", my GSII suffers from the same defect, but I can say that not all screens have the same degree of bluish when tilted (I've seen a few GSII that has quite no bluish at all).
Some says that it's the display coating, don't know for sure, I suggest you to check other GN (if you can, of course) and evaluate yourselt if your is more or less bluish that others
Is the display pitch black when viewing black photos or does it have a bit of grey color

So many youtube videos that will help you a lot ...
A video speaks more than a thousand words.

can't tell because i'm looking at the screen almost flat, at a 70+ degree angle
I'm looking at my one x right now and in my opinion it makes a perfect black, I can't tell the difference between the black and when the screen is off
How is it compared to the amoled?

Not quite as black, but very good for a LCD in my opinion. I hardly notice it unless I compare side by side with my GSII.

Is it worth buying it or just wait for the next htc phone with amoled?

HTC I doubt will release their next flagship phone with an AMOLED panel.
besides I wouldn't wait for that, it's a downgrade essentially, and the IPS SLCD2 Panel in the One X is definitely superior to Amoled displays currently.
^^^ what they said x 2.

Blacks won’t be 100% black on conventional backlit LCD panels due to the use of large backlights. But on AMOLED screens black pixels can be completely turned off making that area pitch black (since they are individually illuminated).
Advantages of AMOLED :
Deeper blacks
high contrast ratios
low power consumption
Disadvantages :
unrealistic colors due to manufacturers oversaturating blue pixels to make them last longer
screen burning
fuzzy images if sub pixels are shared (pentile displays)
Advantages of IPS/LCD :
More accurate color reproduction
Has anyone recently gotten a new Nexus without the problems with the screen such as the purple tint, banding, inaccurate colors and grainy whites? I just got an S3 and the screen is definitely better than that of my old Nexus but I'm thinking of going back to the Nexus but I prefer the phone with a better screen lol.

If ur question is if they made a gnex with a SLCD2 than the answer is No.

People who just got their Nexus immediately after the ban have been receiving theirs today and all of them had great screens, based on their feedback on the thread

My replacement phone from January is perfect. I am aware thats the luck of the draw though, considering my wife's phone is definitely NOT perfect.
My replacement Nexus (2 weeks old) is perfect. I can't believe I went that long with a bad nexus.

Lol funny guy
So basically the screens they are using in the recent Nexus phones are better? No purple tint? Banding? Grainy whites on low brightness?

Apparently if you get one with a serial number of C5 or higher there is a very good chance you will get one with a goof screen.

I just got mine yesterday and I have mad ghosting (usually from the keyboard). I was at the at&t store yesterday and the screen in the display GS3 looked nicer. I don't have any banding issues. The color temperature is closer to that of my Lumia 800 (slightly yellow whites, very vibrant blues) than my finally retired Nexus One (first gen AMOLED, very high K whites, almost blue, washed out reds).
Where can I check the serial number?

Hard to draw a conclusion
We have 4 Gnexes, and two of them have gone back to Samsung for new screens, so I guess we've had 6 screens all told. I don't think I can draw a conclusion based on build date...
My son has the oldest of the 4, and his screen is nice.
Mine is the next oldest, and the screen was good from day-1, and the newly installed (dropped it) screen is really good.
My daughter's is 2nd newest, and her screen is OK, but not as good as mine. Hers got a new screen before my wife got her phone, and that one is OK, too.
My wife's phone is the newest (march or April?) (with the exception of my replaced screen), and has looked dreadful the whole time, but she doesn't seem to mind it.
My phone is 3 weeks old now. I have no 'grainy' things going on. I do have banding with the color 'grey'. I tested it with the app called 'LCD TEST' free from Google Play. I tested every color and I only got banding with the color 'grey'. The rest looks ridicilously good!
I do have to say that my Old Omnia II with an Amoled screen was good. I could see the pixels easily. (3.7", 800x480)
I can also see the pixels on my Galaxy NEXUS with ease. But these pixels are way smaller but still noticeable. Because of that the screen does not look as sharp as I thought it'd be. But still it looks WAY better than my Omnia II's Amoled screen. Also blows the Galaxy S' screen away (which I've compared my Galaxy NEXUS to)
So it seems the screens issues are really just a hit and miss. I wish they would use the same screen tech they use in the S3 :/ I'm missing jelly bean but I don't want to go from a better screen to one with problems ...decisions decisions lol

I received my Nexus on July 6th from the playstore. The screen looks fantastic to me. Blacks are black, as for whites I'm not sure what grainy is really supposed to mean. I don't think there's any graininess.
I was playing with my friends gs3 today. And the colors look so much better. But after looking at specs on gsmarena.com and it shows the same screen technology. Is it just a color gamma setting that can be corrected or are they actually different screens ? I love my nexus and want to holds off until the next nexus bit the screen on that phone is amazing

It's as if the colors and the screen pops more up while ours looks great but not as popped up and more in depth and concave sort of way. As if there is a grainy screen that's all like gauss covering the screen. Why did they opt for a cheaper crappier screen on the GNex?

Natural looking colors on gnex. Think it's better.

I love the sgs3s screen better. Due to it being more vibrant and bright!

Yes, the SGS3's screen is also pentile, note the lack of plus at the end of Super AMOLED HD.
Different colour profile, different Q/A requirements (Have you noticed that there is very little black in touchwizz UX, maybe to avoid the low brightness blacks become purple issue).
Tweaks made to the panels and manufacturing process after doing them in blunk for the gnexus?
All of the above?
Your guess is as good as mine

You do realize this link is irrelevant to the topic at hand, right?
Anyway, I have had my phone next to my friends S3 and with the color tweaks on the GNEX I did not notice any difference. Stock GNEX screen, sure it looks horrible. My GNEX looks 10x better then any stock GNEX screen as well.
I would say quality control. Samsung took the time to perfect the S3's colors. I love my screen and it's vibrant and all that. Granted I've never compared the two.

What tweak are you using? Trinity or franco kernel with color profiles?

Trinity colors FTW!
Try it. Screen of GNex looks way better than SGS3!
SGS screens are poorly calibrated. Over saturated, over sharpened, etc.
Some people apparently like that.

Agreed.
Believe it or not there is a point where too much saturation is bad. It starts to look entirely unnatural. I'm happy where the saturation levels are at with my Nexus currently, still more vibrant than any LCD screen, but not to the point where everything looks like someone took the saturation dial and cranked it to max.
