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.

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.
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?

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.

Hi I've recently got my s3 perhaps 4 months ago and I want to kill myself now that this beast is released. Just asking those Who have moved over from the s3, is the screen really that less clear compared to s3? I've heard that alot from many readings, and really hope to hear some feedback from you guys!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I ditched my S3 three days ago. Note 2 has by far a better screen. Both great phones, but I prefer the Note 2. The battery life is ridiculous. I swear, it's powered by a fusion reactor.

I came from the s3 last week and the difference of performance is like night and day. It must be the ram and optimized software. I like the screen is this note better because the colors are nicer and there is no tinting. True, it might be a bit less sharp than the s3 but you'll only notice it if you have both devices side by side.

Go for the gray one! My s3 was white and I loved it, decided to try something different this time. I love titanium gray as it looks really classy but it's kinda hard to match cases with it. The white one is easier to pair in that aspect but the gray one looks more professional.

forget about those biased reviews, you'll never go wrong with Note 2
Hello guys i'm planing to buy a Note II this week. I've heard that the display of Note II is almost awful. So I Google'd it a little and found some comparisons between One X, S3 and some others and yes Note II was the worst (the source: http://gizmodo.com/5960289/htc-droid-dna-vs-iphone-5-and-everyone-else-whos-got-the-best-display) I know next years phones will come with 1080p and high ppi but Note II is great too. I've a Galaxy S and i'm pretty bored of it.. so should i wait for something like Galaxy S4 to come out or should i buy a Note II right away? Thanks..
when s4 is released, note3 will be around the corner............so no matter what you wait for, something more superlative will be announced.........
right now, note2 is the best phone out there..you want it or not is your choice
I don't care. I'm going for it no matter what. You in or not?

The article is stupid.
Note 2 has the same resolution as OneX, so if you rescale the dpi (or the font size inside the browser), the sharpness will be no difference compared to OneX, and texts are bigger. With smaller texts, a little bit paying off in sharpness and you have more words in a page, and still pretty readable.
OK, DNA is perfect, but "worst" here is like comparing an core i7 computer to a core i5 computer running Super Mario Bros.

Really!! Side by side with my iphone 4 on the same web page at normal veiwing distance and the text looks practically as sharp as each other. The only difference is the colour tones. Oh, and the fact that I dont have to squint to see everything on my note 2 screen
How about going into a shop and looking for yourself. The note 2 screen is far from awful.

Thank you guys some of you were very kind some of not so much anyways i've decided to get Note II. I compared Note II with Galaxy S3 and the screen of Note II was much better and brighter than Galaxy S3. Thanks to all.
awful?
try dropping by Samsung stores and carrier outlets so you can try the units. from where I am, they have 1080p movie clips which you can try, and be amazed by its awfulness..
as for S4, it could take another quarter or two until Samsung releases it given the still very successful run of their S3 now sporting 2GB Ram and LTE. which would be spec'd out by the Note III... next thing you know, it's this time of the year 2013!
Buy the Note II and start enjoying it NOW. :good:
Back on topic, I have had the note 1 previously and currently own the one x and the note 2. Yes one x screen is superior but I also absolutely love the note 2 screen. It's extremely good.
Anyone saying otherwise is talking out of their "behind".
P. S I also had the s3 (albeit for a week) , and the note 2 screen blows it out of the water.

Back to OP, as you can see I've had the Note II, the SIII and the One X. The Note II has a goodish screen but very washed out in viewing angles. The best screen I have had is the One X as it has the true HD screen.

I love One X. My friend have one and i've had it for 1 week i must say it was the best screen i've seen on a phone. It's very powerful too but 1gb of ram is just not enough for a heavy ui such as Sense.

Note 2 display is the best in terms of overall quality. HTC is the best in sharpness.
Now, at >10cm, both are the same in sharpness, unless you look at it through a microscope. Now, in terms of color representation, the Note 2 has the crown.
So, TLDR? Same sharpness if at >10cm from the phone, and better color reproduction in the Note 2.

Mine gets washed out, pink tinge on a white background and a blue tint but i wouldnt say thats a flaw as thats a AMOLED think like you said. I had the N7105 EE LTE version. maybe a faulty model? but i had 3 of them and all had this problem
The note screen is good, but you can see the pixels from normal viewing whereas the one x or s3 they're hardly noticeable. But its still a good phone

Is there any way to adjust the contrast, color, tint to maybe make it a little more vibrant or do I just need to let my eyes adjust to the difference in the two models?
