Hey all!
I've noticed that when my screen is a bit dimmer and I'm viewing whites like on Facebook or even in the xda app the coloring seems "dirty" and it isn't a clear white. Does anyone else notice this too? Is this expected?

I have noticed this as well and keep my brightness manually at about 35% to prevent it. From what I understand it is normal for this screen technology to display whites like that when the screen brightness is low.

Is the screen of GN really annoying when the brightness is set to low, is it normal? Its like theres stripes on it. But on full brightness no problem at all. The only problem is battery

Yes, it is how the screen is.
I just picked up a Galaxy Nexus from WIND Mobile.
I have to say, the one thing I dread the most about AMOLED is the black/bright contrast. My eyes are very sensitive, and whenever I see something bright against an intensely dark background I get halos and it's very difficult to focus. For this reason I prefer LCD screens where the blacks are slightly grey. Nonetheless I decided to make the leap to the GNex because I like a lot of other things about it.
Do you think there is any sort of hack that could make the AMOLED look a bit more like an LCD? I realize this would affect battery life but basically what I'd like is to hack the colour space so that black becomes maybe 1-5% grey. I remember on CM7 there were hacks that could apply filters to make white into a more salmon-pinkish hue, a warmer white, etc. What I'm looking for is the reverse - leave the white alone but make the blacks greyer.
Anyone think this might be possible?
I don't know a specific solution, but here are some options:
If you're rooted, francois kernel and app can adjust the Gama levels, affecting all colors, but may help.
App Log graph can adjust your auto brightness levels.
Yes I am rooted.
Does increasing the gamma change the black levels? If so that could help.

It seems to depend on the app. Some apps have a gentle dark grey gradient in the background. But the stock taskbar, even at full brightness, is just as black as the same part of the screen is when the screen is off.
Not trying to be a comedian here, but have you gotten your eyes checked lately?
Seeing halos is linked to several severe eyediseases or wearing wrong/none correction.
+1. Yup.

Fair enough. Optometrist says my eyes are healthy but I have large pupils that don't contract very efficiently. As a result I get halo effects at high contrast even when using proper vision correction. It's not something that poses a health threat otherwise. But he did advise me strongly against laser eye surgery as there would be a high risk of halos getting worse.
So that's me in a nutshell.

Super dim is a root app and it can lower the brightness below the normal values

I'm not looking to lower the brightness - I know how to do that already. I'm looking to decrease the contrast by making the black levels greyer.

Whenever my screen displays a black color in a certain few spots,you can see a weird black spot underneath that looks like oil leaking into the screen. You can only see this when the screen is dark and everything else works fine. Do you think this will be a big problem?

All amoled phones have that. It looks like an ink spots or blotches. You can only see it in a pitch black room. Its not a problem and shouldn't be noticeable during regular use. You can get an app called LCD screen test if you really want to see the blotches in a dark room
..but I wouldn't worry about it!

Thanks, I was a bit worried that it might cause hardware problems in the future

I'm not sure if this is just my phone or its like this on everyone else's phone.
The screen has a general yellow tint throughout the entire screen when viewed in portrait mode. This generally is ok with me if it's even throughout.. However when I turn the screen clockwise to the landscape mode, and there is a clear white band without any yellow tint approximately a quarter of an inch wide on the left side of the screen. If I reverse the orientation such that I turn the phone 180 degrees to the other landscape mode there is another white band but this time only an eighth of an inch or less.
You can test this out opening up the browser to Google since there is a lot of white in that Web page.
Please let me know if it's just my phone or an issue with the nexus in general. I've also tried different rooms and kernels without any differences.

It's defective. Some color misrepresentation is normal, but white bands are not.
Thanks for the reply, I'm not sure if it's a software issue as the band is not there in portrait mode, and only in landscape. And that also changes from landscape in one orientation as compared to 180 degrees in the other direction.

In my eyes yellow tint is what you want. Blue tint means the display is of poor quality,

Preference. Cooler displays and warmer displays. I prefer cooler.
Problem isn't cooler or warmer display. It the fact that when I turn the screen to landscape there is a section on the left that is pure white without the tint.. And it not there when it's turned back to portrait mode.

I see. Well it sure sounds messed up.
Understand it could be a software issue but any sort of banding can't be good might be better if you just sent it to the service centre

You can fix the yellow tint with franco's kernel.

I was also having this issue but after I flashed MiNCO ROM this issue disappeared.
I suggest you to try this ROM it comes with Franco kernel.

I noticed on my new note on dark backgrounds some screen issues. I noticed a purpleish smear when i scroll on some dark background pages. Especially when i was scrolling thru a page here on xda on gray images a purple color smear would appear. Did anybody else come across this issue? Im exchanging it for another one tomorrow.

It won't matter if you exchange it or not. The new screen technology makes the pixels actually turn off so blacks are true blacks. When they turn back on it causes that purple smear, or at least that's the theory prior are saying in other threads about this issue.

Interesting thank you for the info...i just read that the s4 experiences the same problem. A 700 dollar phone i dont think this should be an issue.

I'm noticing this on Tapatalk right now - the purple smear with the brightness all the way down. I don't know about the color, but the squish blurred effect is surely intentional. I'll try messing with some of the color settings to see if it's affected.
