Hey xda forum!
I just bought the awesome phone, desire, but i noticed that my screen is blue-greenish tint, compared to my friends Desire. I think i can live with it, but is there anything to do? i've searched for this problem and found that the samsung vibrant also has this problem.
what can i do, is there any way u can change the setting of ur display? turning brightness up helps, but outside, my friends desire is easier to see/read compared to mine.
You may have it set so that brightness is Auto,
Settings > Display > Brightness
It was set to auto but that really look awful
So it is on full brightness now

the amoled screen does have a blue tint, from what i beleve blue led's die out really quickly, Samsung on purpose made the screen to over display blue, and as time goes on, the blue will die to a yellow. So if your phone is more blue today, it will last longer tomorrow. also Samsung tunes all of their displays (TVs and all) towards the bluer end of the spectrum because it gives the display a higher apparent brightness because our eyes perceive bluish white as being brighter than yellowish white even with no actual brightness difference.

thanks for the info, that actually good news followed up on ur info and read about it on wiki.
i guess thats the only way they can expand the life time of old amoled displays.
back to auto brightness
I just bought my desire and have same problem ad u guys. I accepted the fact that blue had a low lifespan, but was still trying to hunt for a solution. After dl many brightness apps I found, Brightness profiles. I started playing around to change the brightness and notice some weird flickness. Example at 74 % it was more "yellow" than on 75%. At 96 % had less blue tint than 100 %. I could see it clear under no light before I went to sleep. So I guess they are defect but Ye, that's my workaround cuz I'm too lazy to return the phone and I like the cool tint now, or well it got better
So I got a Galaxy S lying around and decided to compare their screens. Note 2 screen is not as bright as Galaxy S and the colour is not exactly white:
Both screens are at maximum brightness and I've tried all 4 Tone settings of Note 2 under Display settings.
Do you think that is a defect and a good reason to return the phone?
I did some testing and concluded that it's only the white colour that looks washed out and with a hint of pink. I've tested with Galaxy S, iPhone 4 & Nokia 5800 and Note 2 looks the best in my eyes. What do you think?
100% Brightness. Note 2 Screen Mode = Standard. Auto Adjust screen tone = OFF

No I don't, maybe those brightness & color differences are sort of tweaks to reduce battery consumption

I would be happy if anyone can post comparison shots, so I don't feel bad about my phone
You'll see a big improvement in the Note 2 screen if you go to Settings>Display>Auto Adjust Screen Tone and then uncheck the box
Already done that - still not as bright and white as Galaxy S.
Your pics didn't show up earlier, but looking at them now that's a massive difference!
My suggestion would be to take it to a shop and compare with a few others.
I don't have any other Samsung phones to compare mine too but I do think it goes brighter than that, and looks less pink.

Well pal, I don't have good camera atm to take a shot of my screen and my iP 5's. But I can surely say that the 'white' colour in Note II is NOT white, while it is perfectly fine on my iP 5. My previous Samsung was a Galaxy S II and it wasn't white too. But I had a Samsung Wave S8500, which had perfectly fine 'white'. I don't know what's Samsung is doing lately but whatever it is I don't like it.
PS: Just one thing you could do, just tilt the phone screen at 45º angle with your eyes and see, you will see the max white from your Note 2, which isn't the case if you look at it from a 90º angle, like you did on those photos.
This is why I use Screen Adjuster and Blue to +7, I like bluish white lot more than yellowish or pinkish white.

I'm going to a shopping mall tomorrow to compare it with 2-3 other Notes and if I see a difference I'll just get a new one from my operator - they were more than happy to exchange.

Yeah I noticed that too - watching it at an angle makes the white look better. maybe it's just how the screen was designed. Who knows. One thing is sure - in one month I won't notice anything, cause I'll just get used to the colour representation.
Something odd iv noticed , when i turn up the brightness.. it does not feel like the brightness is being turned up it feels like extreme contrast the colors get deeper and the whites are just painfull to see(too bright).. sure the colors look great but it seems wrong while playing games as if im lacking gamma.
Iv tried changing screen mode it doesnt help too much, everything seems too dark in games (compared too xpeira z ultra and ipad mini retina)with glaring white contrast and unnaturally deep colors. (iv used amoled on the s4 so its not the saturation thats bothering me)

im experenceing the same, if i turn up the brightness it starts look look washed out. it is as you said, its like its playing with the contrast. its more noticable when playing a video that has dark scenes in it, blacks start to look dark grey
more users on a thread in the general section have noticed this, as some have pointed its an issue with the gamma not being calibrated properly and samsung using a non traditional method of back lighting as per anandtechs review.

I read that the screen has a white pixel next to the rgb pixels. Could it be be the white pixel is used for brightness and now results in a black screen looking grey? Haven't noticed it being a problem as I set it on auto.

yes that could be it, i only notice it in a dark environment, however its not an ideal way to do brightness. Auto does not work for me at all its always too dim.
Hey guys I noticed that the A50 screen has this weird thing with its red and green colour , it is too bright and saturated which makes objects with these colours look fake, I have tried changing the display settings but it doesn't help that much. Also , the white colour on this screen has this yellow tinge to it, I have been comparing this screen phone to cheaper lcd panels and found that the colours on the LCD panels are more accurate , I also compared it to other phones with oled screens and got the same results . Do you guys have this issue or is it just a hardware issue with my phone
Welcome to the world of amoled adaptive display.
So are you saying this is normal for Samsung amoled screens? Because I don't see the issue in other brands of oled
You can change screen mode to basic in setting menu

Just go and check in the Samsung store if the other a50 are the same. No one will be able to help you if you don't send a picture of the display or anything.

I also had very vibrant colors but now I am using basic profile and all is good.
Users on average prefer the "fake" HDR feeling of the colors(over saturation). that's why samsung keeps that as the default mode

But if I change to the other 3 colour profiles other than adaptive display , the screen will have an even more noticeable yellowish tint
i don't know why i seem to be the only one, i always wanted a note because it's been praised as the best display of all time i finally got a note 10+ and the display disappoints me to no end, first off the colors are dull, my xperia xz1 on super vivid mode has more vibrant colors, second off the brightness it's not amazing if i compare my note 10+ to my huawei mate 10 pro the huawei appears more vibrant and bright, the huawei is running a custom rom, my note 10 + has custom white balance settings with green and red turned down to 0 and it's still too yellow for my taste the screen mode is itensive and yes bluelight filter is off, when i use the note 10+ on it's own i get used too it and i see no issues with the display but then i start up my mate 10 pro and get a much whiter better white and overall brighter image, my note 10+ is set to +10 brightness and high performance mode all auto brightness off and max brightness, white still appears dull colors appear dull, why am i the only one who feels this way?
Was gonna ask if your blue light filter thing was on. The white seers into my brain unless I have the filter on. This seems to be the best display I've ever used. And you're saying other phones are brighter? I haven't found a single phone brighter than this one. Maybe a defective screen?

which white looks best to you in your honest opinion? the note 10 is as mentioned on the highest brightness possible with intensive mode turned on with the coldest possible setting and high performance mode with brightness 10+ adaptive brightness off blue light filter off brightness slider max

Not every note is that yellowish u have to win the Display lottery
I changed the Screen mode from Natural to Vibrant and the colors are a lot brighter and vibrant.

You must have a dud. the screen on my Exynos N10+ is freaking amazing!
As zzcool said, my screen is absolutely gorgeous, now I see netflix in its full splendor, but you have to tweak the display settings to suit your taste
The display is what everyone who see's my Note 10+ mentions first. They are amazed at how good it is...
Maybe a side to side comparison to another phone might show it up but everyone who's seen it goes gaga over it...

it's set to high performance which forces max resolution and max brightness, the images i posted earlier show the difference between my note 10+ and my mate 10 pro you see how the color of the white has a red tint despite being as cold as it possibly can get

my tweaks are the following
max performance with brightness 10+ enabled and brightness slider to the highest possible settingm, intensive with the temp slider to the far left as in coldest as it gets then advanced white balance both red and green turned down to 0 blue turned to max meaning the screen should have an extreme blue tint it doesn't, i tried the google books method and blue light is always off when i launch the app so it's not that, i even tried calibrating colors under accessability where you have to rearrange colored balls result are almost identical to what i had with a slight yellow tint to the white so worse than before i turned that off again
i had this issue with the original display and now the replacement one when i havenothing to compare to white looks great colors pop screen looks good white feels slightly dull but it's hard to tell, but then i go back to my xperia xz1 or mate 10 pro and feel a huge difference in white and overall color performance, both displays pop a lot more than the note 10+
might i add i am ultra sensitive to warm displays so what looks great to someone else might look like a yellow mess to me i always increase blue on all displays i have my sony af9 is set to cold with all color enhancers to max i need colors that pop with no yellow tint what so ever, i am not a fan of accurate colors at all
Being the most accurate display of colors doesn't mean it'll be your favorite. Maybe you prefer less accurate (seriously, no snark here). But brightness should be pretty clear cut... No idea why yours wouldn't be as bright.

well i already know i hate accurate colors i want bright vibrant cold colors anything accurate to me looks dull and yellow the surface pro i have which is known for it's accurate calibration almost looked black and white to me until i got it decent by forcing intel control panel and increasing color intensity but the screen was so terrible on it i stopped using it i just couldn't deal with that display so it's been collecting dust ever since, my xperia xz1 is using super vivid mode with blue turned up to 171 the screen becomes complete trash without super vivid mode and it becomes the best display i have ever seen with super vivid mode turned on, i wasn't a huge fan of the display on the xperia 1 either that phone has no super vivid mode and the display was rather dull to me but the brightness and white was miles better than the note 10+ especially when it forced the brightness to max on apps like youtube (it dimmed outside of certain apps which i could not handle so i sent it back but on youtube the brightness was just mindblowing the white was so perfect and clear then it wen't gray as soon as it would dim when i exited the youtube app)

I would say the Mate looks slightly brighter and whiter. Not sure what could be happening. My screen looks great. I have to tone it down quite a bit so the images don't seer into my retinas. Simply turning off the blue light filter makes my eyes hurt.
Remove your sunglasses.
thank me later

I believe that the Note interface is more greyish than white. This is why even without the blue filter, if you do not increase backlight alot, it is not quite white.
It can be seen on the Home screen, when you group-up some apps icons in a folder, have a look at the white of the icons and compare it to the white of the folder itself. Not same white. The surrounding white of the folder is grey, not white.
Same goes for the google search on home screen, it is not white compared to the the white of say, the Google Apps icon.
Maybe try another theme if you do not like it ?
