Hello there, could you notice the display of 5x is yellow? From the unboxing and review videos, i can see all of them seems quite yellow when compared to other phones.
Could you give your comments on this? If there are photos provided would be appreciated.
That's just an illusion caused by the camera as mentioned in the Pocket Now review, my display looks fine.

I have two 5Xs one in quartz and one on carbon. My quartz has a much cooler screen than the carbon. My carbon's whites looks more of an off white and overall the screen appears more dull and not as bright as the quartz. Colors are not as saturated in my carbon as on my quartz one. My quartz one was made in Oct 2015 and my carbon in September

my first instinct upon powering up my phone and looking at the screen was "damn, this looks really yellow". at this point, I think it's combination of two things: the first being the different in color temperature between this screen and my HTC M8, and the second being tha tthe screen is just flat out a bit warm. After a couple days of use (i got my 5x on friday night), it doesnt feel nearly as yellow as at first, and i really being it's just a matter of what your eyes are used to, but it certianly does have a warmth to it that i was not expecting. there's also been a bit of chatter on teh tint to the screen, so it seems this just varies slightly from phone to phone. I'll say this, I certainly didnt buy this phone because of my faith in LG's build quality or QC. That (and, sadly, Sense) will be the two things I struggle most to move on from when leaving my M8 behind.

If you've ever had an lcd screen calibrated for color accuracy, you'd see that warmer colors are actually more "natural" and realistic than the cool/blue tones you're accustomed to seeing on most lcd's

Yeah you're right. I've had LCDs calibrated (TV, monitors, etc), but never a phone. Know of any good ways to do that? I know of apps that let you tweak the color temps and such, but never to truly calibrate it.
And I just realized I forgot to mention that now when I look back at my M8's screen, it looks quite blueish and sterile. I have no qualms with the 5X screen as I see it now.
It looks much better for the quartz one. It provides a little evident that the latter one produced in Oct is better. The unboxing videos are the first batch devices. Keep an eye on this to see if they really improved for the latest produced devices. Thanks for the sharing!

I just compared my N5X with an iPhone 6. The iPhone screen looked so bright and white/blue(cool). It hurts my eyes. But N5X is very warm. White and balance setting in cameras probably, making it a lot worse. It's much calmer to my eyes.
I have read that a higher kelvin white will keep you up at night, some are saying these new LED bulbs with the whiter whites are not good for the brain/sleeping. I noticed the whites are not as blue as another device, but compared to my Moto X it is not as yellow as the Moto X. When using the 5X and not looking at another device the whites seem very white to me.
I'm returning mine for a replacement or refund not liking the yellow hint to the display I have read Google have replaced handsets if purchased from the store due to yellow screen as I got mine from cpw im within my 14 day return as only got Sunday so shouldn't have any issue I came from a Galaxy A3 and screen was much better

Yes it is a tad warm when compared to my relatively high end Dell monitors that reviewers claim is about 6300k.
I'm no expert and I don't own a 5X but did any of you guys try turning off the adaptive brightness and seeing whether the screen went back to normal or not? Just a thought.

Yeah, sounded like there was a legit problem I just didn't see it mentioned so I thought I'd ask cause I was thinking of getting a 5X myself. Thx.
It's a good phone don't get me wrong but could of been better I think for price of the 32GB you can have a Moto X pure both are not perfect but X pure bit more bang for buck although I miss the lightness and fingerprint scanner of the 5x I do how ever love having a more premium device with decent screen and camera and turbo charging is awesome feature for me if the 5x had a better screen and extra GB of ram it would be a keeper I think

Ok here are some comparison pictures.. My original Quartz 5x, then the yellow tinted carbon 5x, with my replacement carbon 5x and a few shots comparing both the yellow tinted carbon and the replacement carbon with the 6P. Now seeing all 3 5x's side by side my quartz seems to have a redish tint compared.. odd.. I'm happy with the screen on my replacement carbon
http://imgur.com/a/1mHv4
Mine looks just fine. It may have a slightly warmer temp than my S6 edge screen, but that one almost looks too blue. The colors on my 5X look more natural. Maybe I have a good one?
Wait for custom kernels with color adjustments options. It's simpler...

someone here already mentioned that the GN screen isn't as black as the gs2 or nexus s. as in, a backlight is still visible on an all black background. can others confirm this? even better, can someone who owns both phones, or all 3, take a comparison pic? thanks

I have the Nexus and GSII side by side and there is no difference in the 'blackness' when the screens are switched off. AMOLED does not use a backlight; absolute black is represented by a switched off pixel.
One thing I have noticed is that in boot screen animation they use a grayish background rather than absolute black which is kind of stupid. Makes the screen look like a washed out LCD.
i should have been more clear. i was referring to the screen in a switched on position with lets say an all black wallpaper. i know how amoled screens use a switched off pixel for blacks but some people on these forums have claimed that they are noticing a slight backlight, especially visible in the dark

Galaxy nexus screen is pure black; however, it does seem to have more reflection when around light, and that light makes the pure blacks look not pure black.
But if you are in a dark area, blacks are pure black.

myself noticed this although I'm not really concerned for now ( I own a nexus s )
So are the pixels 'off' or not..that is the question!
On the Battery test thread the all Black and all White screens were comparable in battery life, which i wouldn't expect.

No, they are not off.
AMOLED screens have a minimum voltage applied when on. To turn a OLED pixel from fully off to fully on takes a lot more power. The contrast ratio of the sAMOLED screen is something like 100,000:1.

I guess the minimum voltage in GN has been increased at least compared to Nexus S. Here's comparison of my Nexus S (left) and GN (right). Pic is taken with 5 sec exposure. To be honest, the difference in that photo looks slightly bigger compared to what it is real life, probably because of that exposure time.
Black is from Dead Pixel Test apps black (second) screen. https://market.android.com/details?id=net.ujacha.deadpixel
aww that's kinda disappointing. I was really hoping for a pure black screen =/ you might be right about the minimum voltage increase being the cause of this
Well mine is BLACK and those pictures on my gn may look grey but the black around the phones show jet black (as viewed on my gn) Trust me blacks are black!
Disappointed, my Nexus S is really black.
Hope this is software issue and can be improved with future update.
you are correct the blackness is not pure black as my galaxy s, strange as it is using same screen technology
It is not pure black (as in a void of darkness) as it is like on my Nexus One. Very difficult to see... but seeable...

It is 100% a software issue. I've just done the same test using the same app (thanks for the link) and what I've noticed was the black wasn't pure black like Nexus S but software buttons were PURE BLACK. Because they are the part of the screen itself, it means Google changed it on purpose (or it's a bug)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Really hope this gets fixed
My screen is totally black when viewed when any light is around...like DAMN, black.
But I definitely agree when viewed in total blackness it looks like the screen has a (dim)backlight. Hopefully software and not hardware.
I think this could possible something that google have done on purpose to make the colours more "true to life" as with my S2 the blacks were gorgeous as the screen went off, but sometimes it didn't make the image very real as blacks were sometimes darker than they actually should of been
Any i don't know :/ - would be nice to have the option ie a switch on and off switch

Well they did put LCD as oppose to the AMOLED listing for the 6P. Aren't all LCD screens on phones pretty much IPS now? I could be wrong.

I certainly hope it is as good as the nexus 5 from 2013. If it isn't I think I will return it. It is a "midrange" device but it is still expensive and they cut a lot of other corners on this phone. The display better be good.
The display looks good, but could have been better on Nexus 5x. They also have compromised on other things and display is one of that.

I think the reason why it's expensive is Android Hub, camera, and fingerprint sensor. I read the display isn't spectacular. I have a feeling it'll be the same like the Nexus 5. Also, Google didn't take the time to calibrate it
I'm not worried about the LG LCD, they make great displays. Also I much prefer a LCD to amoled

Yeah I don't know exactly what it is about amoled, even on the best displays like the GS6. There definitely is image retention with all amoleds, some worse than others and dependent on use. They also tend to look "dirty" at lower light levels. LCDs look cleaner to my aging eyes.
This will be my first non-Samsung screen I'll be looking at in years. Galaxy S5 and S III were my last phones. Might be a welcomed change.

The Nexus 5 panel used was well calibrated and one of the more accurate mobile displays. I'm hoping LG and Google keep the same attention to detail with the 5x LCD calibration, so far hands on have said they were impressed with the screen quality and brightness.
I sent back my Nexus 5 three days after owning for bad light bleed at top edge. I can't stand light bleed, and that is my biggest quip with LCD's. That said my G2 LCD is awesome, with no such problems. From the quick hands-on vid's I've seen, haven't seen any bad light bleed yet.

Not as dirty as xperias. Whenever I take mine out of my pocket, it looks very dirty and a bunch of dust on it. Had the z1 and returning this z3c to amazon lol.
The OnePlus 3 has a crazy crisp display. Just kidding, this is automated text so who knows if this screen is any good. So, you be the judge! A higher rating indicates that it's extremely sharp and clear, and that you cannot see pixels with your naked eye.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The display is definitely better than what weve had on the previous OnePlus phones. I did find the color saturation a bit weird coming from the LCD of the OnePlus One to the OAMOLED of the OP3, but it's a pretty beautiful display to look at.
I haven't been able to compare with another AMOLED screen, but compared to my LG G3 at full brightness, the OnePlus 3 screen colours doesn't seem as vibrant as an AMOLED screen should be. One other thing is that I've been so used to QHD on the G3, I can really notice the drop back to HD. Nonetheless, the OnePlus 3 is bang for buck no matter which way you look at it.
I just have one word. Gorgeous.
The display is sharp enough, bright enough and the color saturation is good. And definetly better than previous OP screens

You notice because it has PenTile arrangement, not because it's FHD.
I've gotten used to it now, the screen is still quite amazing on the OP3. Tbh, I've always found it funny how phone manufacturers are sucked into the res race given some of the drawbacks of pushing a larger amount of pixels.
I'm moving from my Moto X (2014) to OP3, and trust me the white balance is WAY off towards the blue end. I read a review which did display tests on both the AMOLEDs of X and OP3, and apart from the white balance, OP3 has a slightly better screen and/or screen calibration than the X (which is 2 years old).
Overall I still find it blue after I switch from the X, but it's a beautiful screen nonetheless.

Just got mine, haven't even turned it on yet, but AFAIK (from reviews) white balance is adjustable in the settings. Play around with the slider if it looks too blueish to you.

That's a bummer. Didn't know it'd turn out this bad.
I really hope I had a defective piece though. Text looks really bad on it. It ruins the experience of using a premium phone.
Guess I'm really bothered by it because my previous phones were the 6P and Note 4 and I use a retina MacBook Pro; all three had/have excellent displays).
I was very worried about the display when I have heard many saying that it is not sharp due to the pentile arrangement.
Just got mine few hours ago, and here is my personal opinion:
The display looked sharp and crisp, the pentile matrix is hardly visible unless you look at the screen very closely, but under normal usage distance, the display is excellent.
It is true that true resolution on any pentile display is less than the ideal, and this artcile explains it: https://medium.com/@suyashsrijan/1080p-pentile-is-not-true-1080p-9951b9e5c2ee#.w8v3hh7vz
According to it, the effective resolution becomes 326ppi rather than 401ppi.
FYI, resolution of iphone 6s is also 326ppi.
To me the screen of OP3 is way better than the OP2. Everything just looks nice. My OP2 was calibrated with kcal and OP3 has similar calibration. Only the dark grey is a little on the blue/green side.
Disappointed with pixelation caused by the PenTile matrix. Sure, the display is great (much more vibrant and brighter than my outgoing iPhone 6 Plus) but with my perfect near vision small text and edges of icons etc all appear slightly jagged. From a normal distance it's not too bothersome but I can always see it. The 1080p RGB matrix panel on the iPhone appears instantly sharper in comparison but I still wouldn't say its a match as the colour, contrast and brightness are all far better on the OP3.
Resolution is too low for VR, but for everyday tasks is perfect.
I am hesitating to buy a 1+3 device mainly for the mixed comments about screen/display quality.
Can any owner of 1+3 post some pictures of any classical webpage (bbc, cnn, xda, ...) magnified gradually, up to the maximum (125%, 150%, ..., 300%, ..)?
Thanks
Ive been using the G3, and i dont care what anyone says, there is a huge difference between 1080 and 1440. The text looks smudged. However I cant stream Youtube nor Anime at 720p or higher anywas so it wont matter for me.

The problems you're describing are physically impossible on a Super AMOLED display... and to say that it has happened to both OP3s you received is just as absurd. The pre-applied screen protector is pretty crappy, but I mean c'mon... Are you one of those guys who returns things with the smallest imperfections, or perceived imperfections in this case?

Woah there, I have no idea how it is possible to have the problems I have, I know that with lcd sometimes the glue causes the device to be lit unevenly, don't know if that could be the case, but it seemed a little off. I tested this using this video on full brightness: https://youtu.be/vu0mQa2EpS4
While going from. Grey to black, the pixels should all turn of at the same time, or at least, that's how I think it should be on amoled. But this wasn't the case on both devices.
As for the different tint problem, that does bother me a lot more, reading Web with a changing color if you read from left to right isn't that good for the eyes or at least It bothered me.

Here are some pictures, it's quite difficult to recreate on camera like I see them but this gives a general idea of what my issues were with the first device. The first being the screen tint, on the left of the screen it seems to be more red and on the right more green, while this is a Grey background at about 50% brightness. The second is how the screen is unevenly lit while on a solid Grey low brightness background.

I just watched that LCD test video and firstly my eyes hurt from the bright white light secondly I am quite picky and having come from the g4 which I thought had a great screen (few bleed issues though) I am quite happy. I couldn't see anything at all on my unit like you have so maybe it's device specific?
I have noticed this weird thing though and it's when I use MX player pro to watch films. I have been watching the dark night for like the 20th time on th op3 but do notice the skin tones look a little warm and when i increase brightness it gets worst. I think this is a combination of the pentile display and the AMOLED screen with a lower resolution than we would like. I am sure I remember my galaxy note 3 and wife's s5 looking like this also but could be wrong.
Overall it is strange using g4 then using op3 it's hard to explain but they are just different not just LCD / AMOLED but the calibration also. Love the blacks though it's like the phone is off when the screen goes dark. Nice.

So the screen turned black fully at the same time, well there's a logo on screen, but apart from that all black?
I know what you mean by that, I think thats in all screens, not sure, but I had it in both screens but also the problems occurred on them too, maybe that's a feature, I at least won't mind at night when the screen is that low and a bit more warm toned. I saw it on a selfie I got on whatsapp, at night when I got it, I saw her face normal, but when I set the screen brighter, I also saw that the photo also had a background! which was invisible and dark on the lowest brightness.
no issues

I'm either going to buy the Pixel 2 or the Pixel 2 XL. Is the display on the XL really that bad? Should I stick with the Pixel 2, or is the issues with the XL over hyped. Those that have this phone, give me all the reasons to , or not buy this phone.
Display is just fine, and if you end up having problems Google has been RMAing them. I had burn in on my last one and no questions asked when I sent the picture of it they had one sent. Once they added the different color modes ( I Still use natural as Saturated looks horrible IMO) I think it fixed a lot of peoples "problems" with it. Yea there is blue shift but you only really notice it on a white screen when you turn the phone. Rarely am I using it on everyday use and be like "damn I really hate this blue" Go get it, try it for the 14 days or whatever the return period is and if you dont like the screen go ahead and return it for the little one. I dont think you can go wrong with either though.

I can live with blue tint. I don't look at my phone from odd angles, so I could care less. I'm more concerned with the burn in, and image retention. I'm coming from a OG Pixel, and I don't have any issues with it at all.

Yea I mean is it the best display out? No. I grab my wife's iPhone X and I really see how inferior it is to that. But is it a bad display? No. I think it's just luck of the draw on if you get one that is gonna burn in or not. The one I had did it in 4 days. This one I've had for 2 weeks and nothing yet. But like I said. Google seemed really good about returning it when I did say that it had it and just had to take pictures to prove it. Next email was the link to put the "purchase" on new one until they received old one back. If the smaller pixel didn't have the bezels I would have went with that because after using an s8 just for the couple months from when I had my OG pixel to this one I kinda grew on the size with a big screen. Like I said, go pick one up and just try it out. You will love it either way

Both the Pixel 2 and the 2 XL have burn in although the 2 XL is worse. You'll probably notice your Pixel 1 has it to if you look closely enough at grey backgrounds full screen.
The Pixel XL 2 screen in my book is a lot nicer than the 2 even with the burn in. It's got much nicer whites (a little bluer) than the slightly red Shamsung one in the pixel 2 and you hardly notice the burn once you realise the phone is just THAT good.

My OG Pixel doesn't have any burn in at all.
I think the screen problem would only be an issue if you are OCD. If you try to find faults and stress about it you will end up hating the device. However if you ignore the screen problem and make the most of the device then you will absolutely love it
display is great IMO
blue shift is the only issue i can actually reproduce, and the ridiculous angle at which it occurs means i literally never experience it during normal use
I personally love the screen. For me it's better than original Pixel. But must say that i wasn't very happy until i rooted and tuned it a bit.
Out of box the screen was too dark for my likings. I'm not talking about the brightness level. What i mean is that darks are very aggressive in most cases.
However, i wouldn't go back to the original Pixel.
Black smear is the only thing I've ever noticed that's meh to me but it was there on other OLED displays I've used too. IMO...shiz on the display was overblown.

Smearing is way worse on the 2XL I have than I had on any of the phones in my sig. Love OLEDs for a long time, but the smearing is something that I notice that I'm hoping an update will address.
Other than that, the display has been fine for me. Blue tint not an issue and no burn in for me.

Google need to tweak the gamma to make it better

The screen is good. The issues are over hyped. And just so you know I am OCD with my screens and hate any sort of uneven tints etc. It took me 4 oneplus 5t to get one with a reasonably uniform screen. My pixel has a more uniform screen than all 4 of them. I will break down the issues and give. my experience. But keep in mind each unit may differ but if you get one that's as Intended this is what you should experience too
1. Blue tint. This is no issue. You might notice it if you tilt the screen at angles...but during every day use you never notice it, after a few days you forget about it all together
2. graininess. I think they all have this to some degree. But I can only see a tiny bit of grain if I put the phone in low brightness and stare at it unnaturally close to my face. So again never an issue in every day use
3. Black smear/black crush. Yes this is a problem. But you will only notice it at very low brightness, late at night.
This is actually a software issue. So it's nice to know it can be potentially fixed through an update
4. Touch problems. I noticed having to tap things a couple times when I first had it. But since the last update I haven't noticed any touch sensitivity issues at all
I don't think it's even a case of ignore the screen problems and enjoy the phone...the screen is pleasant and the problems simply are not there's unless you get a dud of course
Hope this helps
Screen is just fine. Gorgeous really.

This.
The display is not good...unless you get a good one. QC is extremely inconsistent.
Other than the blue tint (which I don't really care about) mine is great. No complaints and thats coming from an S8 plus and Note FE which both have great screens
sent from my Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
My black XL 2 were terrible with blue tint but the Panda screens have been ok

I agree on the black smear point. That's really the only real issue I have with the phone but it only happens in low light situations. I was able to work around it by using lux, cflumen, and an app called screen balance. I agree that the whole blue shift thing was blown out of proportion because when are you not looking directly at your phone: perpendicular to your face lol. On the other hand I do understand why people are upset. Lots of money spent therefore expecting perfection.
I have no issues with my display. There's been zero burn in, and I never notice the blue shift. It's definitely there, but it's only at extreme angles and 99.9 percent of the time I'm looking at my screen head on. Now that the saturated color space has been added the screen looks just as good as my boyfriend's note 8.
I've also had issues with black smear, but it's not as much of a problem for me as the black crush. Watching darker videos on low to mid brightness can make it difficult to see the details in a scene.
I got my phone a week ago and haven't noticed any problems with my screen. The blue tint I never noticed because I don't look at it from an angle. The burn in I haven't noticed but will try to keep an eye on it
