Is my screen supposed to be reddish in tint??? - LG G8 Questions & Answers

I just received a brand new LG G8 (Sprint) and noticed even at it's brightest it just felt a bit... dark. I put it side by side with my LG G6 and the G6 has a WAYYYY more true White color while the G8 has this slightly reddish tint to it. I did literally everything in settings, and the best I could get for a truer white color is putting it in Sports mode display. I don't know what's going on but it is perfect besides that. Is my screen defective or is that just how the phone is?

My g8 does have a redish\pinkish tint when I rotate to a certain angle, straight on and beyond that particular angle it looks great. A little disappointing but don't know of it is normal

Thanks for responding. I actually was so annoyed that I went to a local sprint store to compare with a G8 there, but none were in stock. Instead I compared it with a V60+ and to my surprise it looks the same way. Also, the S20 was similar, but a little brighter. I can only assume that new phones are dimmer like this because of whatever filtering they are doing to lessen eyestrain (even though I prefer the brighter screen personally). I did everything I could in the Settings, and the best I could get it to look was by toying with settings in Expert Mode or by just putting it in Sports mode. I can live with it once I get used to it I guess... I'm just spoiled by how much brighter my LG G6 is.

I just switched from g6 to g8s. The whites on g6 are much much better. I don't think g6 is brighter. But the better whites might give that impression. I'm gonna miss that white.

Display white warmth

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/

F400S vs D850 LCD Quality/Color

I currently own both models because I am a US AT&T user and was thinking about switching from a white f400S (korean variant) to the black AT&T D850 model but the lcd looks yellow compared and not as bright on the AT&T version and this is consistent with all of them, not just mine (I work in a store so I have been comparing as I sell them).
Any guesses as to why? And does anyone else notice a very small but definitely noticeable checkerboard look on these phones when looking at a blank screen or over the flat colors? the quality seems poor for a 2k display and I have been satisfied with my f400. It doesn't make sense being that LG wouldn't outsource their displays to different manufacturers.
I bought 2 Sprint g3's and they have different displays. One is more yellowish but seems to have a bit better contrast and the other is cooler or bluer looking and seems to be a little brighter. Its really odd since I bought both at the same time on launch day but one is gold and the other is black.

lg g3 display color

Hey guys i got a new lg g3 from orange. I just remarked something in strange. At first the phone display look so nice in the shoop having a little darkies tone and the photos where in a way a little more darkies in compared with lets say a note 4 or even htc one m8. It was nice not in a bad way by any means. So i order one and got it i was very happy about the phone but i noticed that the darker accents are not there, well i didnt knew if the light from the store was the problem so i went to the store and compared the 2 phones and its was a difference in the contrast of the display.
My question is can i make my display darker in a way. Its not about the brightness becouse both phones where using 100% of it.
Or do you think that the phone from the store has some problem or even mine.

Clarity/resolution

The OnePlus 3T 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!
How do you find the sRGB-mode? I dont like it at all. The colours are not colourful any more in that mode. I find custom mode full warm the best though...
What about you?

Same, custom mode with full warm is my fav so far. Whites in other modes looks little blueish to me.
At first I thought S-RGB mode to be very bland in comparison with the default's vibrant colours. But after trying out the S-RGB for a day straight I don't want the default anymore xD
Everything seems much more realistic, accurate, not overly saturated, and even soothing/calmer with S-RGB. Default now gives off a wacky vibe, like I'm high or something
Edit: Tried custom full warm like the posts above, but I don't like it during the day. At night it is good, but still prefer the S-RGB for most of the day.
I really dislike the screen of the OP3T and I'm probably going to return mine because of it.
Unfortauntely I can't post an image comparison I made but you can probably see it for yourself: get some app with sharp edges in the UI and black on white text (Now for reddit, for example), you'll notice a bit of color fringing around the text, typically some green above and purple below the characters' lines. This makes text look somewhat out of focus and uncomfortable to read.
It really sucks compared to my Nexus 5's IPS screen, sure more vibrant colors but what use is that if it can't display text in a readable form?
Too bad, I really like the rest of the phone. Now I'll have to go back and look for another affordable dual sim high-spec phone.
(This is my second OP3T after I returned the first one believing this was a manufacturing defect, after some looking around it seems to be a result of the screen being a PenTile AMOLED display at a too low resolution for the size)
i now have a huawei p9 with 1080p ips lcd and 5,2". i like the uniformity and the "sharp edges" (no pentile matrix) of the display.
anyone in the same boat and did a "downgrade" to the OP3T amoled screen?
i`m a little bit afraid of uneven gray level (yellow on one side) and fuzzy fonts which are not so comfortable readable as on a lcd display.
l like the phone specs but worried about the low resolution screen - anyone have this and the s7 edge and can compare the screens ?
sRGB mode is really great in my opinion --> the calibration in this mode is great, so you can be sure, that everything on the web and in apps looks as the creator intended, as sRGB is for the time being the "standard" color profile.
I have no problem with the pentile matrix and 1080p resolution --> while I can notice a difference in sharpness compared to the OPO with its 1080p IPS display, the display of the OP3T is all around great. I would put the sharpness of the OP3T around the sharpness of the iPhone7 (non plus) with its 326ppi.
The sRGB mode on the OP3 is way better.. The OP3T sRGB mode is definitely pretty washed out with a lot more yellow tint..
I'm sure one plus can tweak that.. Nothing inherently wrong with the screen coz I think they're the same..

I'm calling BS on this one. Smells like a troll...
I just got OnePlus 3t for a week. The screen sharpness look okay to me, I have s6 and s7 edge to compare and I can't see any pixel in these phone except both samsungs look sharper. The only complaint here is that the screen panel doesn't look very black when see in daylight and not as vivid/warm, compare to my iPhone 6s. But custom setting to nearly full warm help a lot.
I use to be afraid of the pentile 1080p too, but now I can say it look very great.
I'm disappointed in the clarity of the screen, it looks quite pixelated and grainy to me. I can't understand why OP didn't go for a QHD in the 3T
I preffer 1920x1080 in my 3T, the screen has a lot of quality in my opinion, I don't want anymore.
I don't like the screen at all, it just isn't as sharp as other phones compared to today's standards its not great. Im quite let down by it.

It's decent in my opinion
I came from Galaxy S6 and its (well, let's face it) outstanding quad HD display and actually the downgrade in resolution is in fact noticeable for me. Not a big deal though, it may be just me being crazy about some minor details

Agreed, I'm used to using 2k screen phones and I'm perhaps being a bit OCD about it. The 3T screen isn't bad by any means, I can just see the difference from my old 2k phones which is annoying me. I'm also noticing the PWM on the screen and that's something I've not noticed in phones since I had my old Note 4.

Exactly, I totally agree with you
Such an amazing phone but the 1080 pentile is ugly, you're only getting an effective resolution of around 900p because of it. I feel the phone is spoiled a lot because of this.
sRGB mode is a must also on this panel.
Coming from a Moto X Pure, which has a 1440p display, I can definitely tell the difference, especially when I resize my desktop icons using Nova Launcher, with the display set to small on Nougat. This phone however is blazing fast compared to the Pure, so I'll be getting used to the display and set my icons to a somewhat smaller size (120% instead of 130%.)
I have no reason to root this thing either, except for a custom kernel with KCAL support and using Kernel Adiutor-Mod. None of the sRGB settings are good enough for me. I need Samsung-like bleeding color settings.
EDIT: Solved the blurry icons with Nova by disabling the "Normalize icon size" option.

LG G7 Screen Grainy effect???

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.
