I dont know why my tablet screen isnt like my g2 and i mean white areas and colours... Not the ppi
When im putting the G2 near to my tablet screen it looks like crap especially the white areas. Is that a cheap display?
You are right, the G Pad's screen color's are way off, too yellowish...
You can try screen adjuster to fix it, and I think Infected's version of CM 11 had corrected screen values that look good (you can change the screen values by yourself in CM 11 anyway)

Certain kernels do adjust things as well
I flashed aic 6.0 with red kernel and it seems waaay better
RedKernel does make quite a difference.

I dont understand why these newer screens just look worse in coloration to me. It seems like all these new phones have a blue or green tint to the screens. I went to look at a Epic 4g touch in the store today because I love the form factor but the screen doesnt look as good to me. Is this fixable with some sort of calibration? Or is the hue always there? I want a new phone but I dont know what to do! I like the screen of my old one more!
What say you XDA experts! Looking forward to your responses!
I think you're 100% right. I remember comparing my old G2x screen to the display unit at the sprint store and being quite turned off by it. It even took me a few weeks to get used to the "bluish" color of the Epic... however.. I do so love that deep black. Wow.
Aagghh! So there's just no way to fix it? Seems like the only neutral screen these days is the 4gs

Check out "Screen Adjuster" by Netman in the market. It let's you adjust the RGB values of the screen, as well as the contrast.
Watching videos on the GS2 is very hard on the eyes if there are a lot of dark scenes... Most of the detail gets lost because of the deep black, even with the brightness turned up to 100%. This app lets me crank up the contrast as well so I can actually see detail in dark scenes.
Essential free app, in my opinion. It can be set to autorun at system startup, or you can run it on demand (that's how I use it).
Any way someone could post comparison screen shots? Would be interested to see how neutral one can get it. Also does using that program cause more battery drain?

There's a setting to adjust the colors to make it less saturated. Lighter colors especially white will never be pure white, then again there is no true black on an LCD

So it wont ever look as white as my evo 4g? Agh. I think I'll just wait for a Tegra 3 phone.

Before I used the program, I could watch 2 full-length movies streaming 3G via Netflix and still be at 45-50% battery. After I started using the program, my battery usage didn't seem to change, at least not that I've noticed.
Does your optimus g has blue white screen or yellow white screen ?
Can u see the striped touch panels when u turn off screen and view in some angels ?

I went to the AT&T store to check out the Optimus G. To my dismay, this phone has the same display issue that made me pass on the LG Nitro HD. It has a weird dithering or color banding issue. The LG Optimus 4G LTE had this issue, and it was written about here:
http://mobilesyrup.com/2011/11/23/bell-lg-optimus-4g-lte-review-video/
If you want to see the effect yourself, view this image on your Optimus G as well as another display.

On most displays you will see a smooth transition between colors. Not so on the Optimus G. If you're doing this comparison in the AT&T store, I suggest you compare the image using an iPhone 5. That display is almost perfect for sRGB colorspace. This may be an issue that will make me pass on the Optimus G also.
UPDATE - 2012-11-30
Several people said they did not see the banding/dithering issue on this thread. So I went back to the AT&T store and looked again at the phone. I'm not sure if this was the same unit or not, because this time I could not see the same dithering issue I saw before. This makes me very happy because that means this will probably be my next phone! I just wanted to publicly post the update, lest I besmirch the good name of LG displays.
How about finding a display above 4.5" to use as a comparison. I'll wager that you can't find one that's better. I'll deal with a trivial color distortion to have a display that's 4.5" or larger.

I don't have a issue with my screen, its beautiful, no banding or anything:good:
I was just using one of these guys last night and I didn't notice any of the banding issue at all and it was something that I did actively look for.
No banding , no yellow or blue tint on mine. Screen is top notch imo.

All phones should have an IPS display this is the most beautiful screen on any phone perfect touch responsiveness... and it's perfectly visible in direct sunlight at 100% brightness

Agreed. Screen really is nice.

I've had my Sprint LGOG since Friday and the screen has remained amazing. I held it side-by-side with my friends iphone5 and even at 50% brightness the screen looked 100x better than his at 70%.
I updated my earlier post with an updated impression. I went back to the AT&T store, but this time I could see no banding on the same image. I'm not sure what changed since then, because there was a definite issue with the phone I saw last time. This time I compared the same photograph between the iPhone 5 (nearly a reference display), my HTC Vivid, the Samsung Galaxy Note II, and the LG Optimus G.
The Samsung had terrible color reproduction, typical of AMOLED displays. Maximum brightness was low, some black crush issues, and a image was too warm and too much green tint. Saturation was okay using the Movie Screen mode. I was shocked AT&T left this in, as they've been stripping this function from their Samsung phones.
My HTC Vivid was also a bit too warm and over saturated. Brightness was better than the Samsung though.
The LG Optimus G was the closest to the accurate colors of the iPhone 5. I daresay it's the possibly the best display I've seen yet on an Android device. I guess I should have also compared to the HTC One X+, which is also known for a good display. But I was short on time.
Definitely the nicest screen I have seen on a phone.. the iphone screen is nice but this screen to me is just as nice. I use I generally at less than 50% brightness and its sharp as a tack even when viewing up close.
Two thumbs up she's a beaute
F160's display do have bands from up to the end.especially in white background
but F180 has a great display,it looks pretty good
forget about it, just enjoy your phone.

Doesn't LG make the retina display? Lol. And from what I know, IPS is an LG tech. Also the i5 has no ips plus. I have both, my LG is nicer, to my eyes anyway. Maybe its because I feel Im looking at a matchbox with the iPhone screen.
Also just note I have no yellow at all. Maybe a touch blue. The i5 is much more yellow.
I may be wrong on lg making retina, it might be sharp. Regardless the G has a fantastic LCD. Its way up there.

I have the Sprint variant. And my screen is absolutely. Horrible. I went to the store to compare it to the demo both with full brightness and. Can confirm that my screen has faint lines and pixelation...nothing representative of an ips screen...im sort of disappointed
The colors are actually really washed out on the screen as well. Vs the demo had a slight tint but it looked more natural, also the lines didnt show up as much on the demo as well. To bad sprint repair centers are like pulling teeth, most their employees aren't the brightest people

I just bought the Sprint version yesterday and mine has the dreaded yellow screen tint on the bottom. I noticed it right away. It almost looks like they are using warmer leds on the last quarter of the screen. Its very annoying and distracting when I'm on a page with a white background.
With that said, the screen is not washed out. Its probably the nicest looking screen out there. Everything is sharp and contrasty. There is some slight banding on greys but its not a big deal.
I also have other issues with the build quality. For example the camera rattles inside the phone when I place it down on a table. I'm wondering if Sprint got the $hit end of stick with quality control here.
Don't get me wrong, the phone is still really nice. Just frustrated with these small issues.

Hi
I have just received my 32GB european G3, stunning phone in hand, speakers seems really good, but out of everything that I am let down by it is surprisingly the screen I wanted to be blown away and unfortunately I'm not.
I have the Z2 at the moment and I am in no way sticking up for the Z2 it's horrible, uncomfortable in hand, slippy, the vibrate is annoying, the camera isn't overly impressive on auto mode, BUT the screen seems a lot better than the G3 the whites are a lot cooler and the blacks look blacker
So is there anyway to adjust the screen colours on the G3? And I'd there a mod to disable that 90% brightness cap?
Thanks

Here's one for the brightness http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2790759 but no way to change the whites yet but I'm sure someone will port it with a custom kernel
Maybe its the glue that you have to let settle in? I've seen some g3 on video and I like the warmth of the whites. But that's how white looks naturally lol
According to is certification it's 100% RGB accurate http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-5-5-inch-quad-hd-378056/

Hello,
I've seen a lot of people complain about the screen brightness but the X8.3 seems to be bright enough but the auto-brightness is just too low. It's like it is calibrated wrong and I have to switch it to 50% manually or it's just too dark. Any tips on how to fix it?
I noticed mine is real dark too. I have a nexus 7 2013 which is the brightest. It has a really red hue to mine too. I played around with a temp app and had blue turned up to 33% and green to 20% to make the whites look normal, but it makes all the other elements look a little out of place. Still looked worlds better but the app always had to run and I think just put a transparent layer over everything which caused missed touches and unresponsiveness.
A kernel level app would be much better to adjust the actual levels. The LG x8.3 was still the darkest device I owned. The G4 and GPad 7 both looked better.
I am half tempted to replace it because it looks so crappy compared to its G4 companion.
Am i the only who has noticed like this grainy effect on the display if you really focus on it. Its more noticeable on white backgrounds
? You're not alone, my screen is the same- full of very faint horizontal banding. I thought at first it was due to the cheap plastic screen protector I had on it. While I need to look closely to see it, it is quite annoying. In the BBC news app the red section at the top of the screen is where I first noticed it. I love the phone but for all the shouting LG has made about the screen, this is not acceptable. Personally I'm not sure it's a fault, rather LG's inability to produce a half decent phone screen- look at the issues people had with the v30/Pixel 2XL's screens and my G4 was a hot mess of image retention after 6 months. ?
Can you try to check it with a different wallpaper to see if it is due to the app or background
My screen is perfectly fine and crisp.

Man, you have the eyes of a Spiderman so you able to see the pixels with 550PPI. I bet when you'll see Note 9 display your eyes will just pop out.
It's just pixels on G7

LG G7 has slightly higher resolution than the overrated Galaxy S9/Note 9. LG G7 is better anyday.
