My friend had bought gs2 in june 2011 and ive bought it in december 2011 ..so his phone is almost 7 months old. the problem is when i compared my phone's display with his , his display looked yellowish whereas mine looks normal .. BY THE WAY ITS NOT THE YELLOWISH TINT AT LEFT SIDE THAT SOME USERS ARE SUFFERING FROM ,RATHER ITS THE ENTIRE SCREEN WHICH HAS BECOME YELLOW...... ive seen one more phone yellow compared to mine......WILL MY PHONE SUFFER FROM SAME ISSUE AFTER SOME MONTHS??
WHO KNOWS
Mine is almost a year old and no problems .
Of course your friend may have different settings to you .
jje
No he is using same settings as mine ...unrooted & stock ROM 2.3.3
No i don ' t think your screen should become yelloish . I think your friend has a problem with his screen .

ive read somewhere that blue subpixel is degraded faster than other two thats why it becomes yellow
Yeah cud be . But i think that pixels stay all ways the same .
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Amoled pixels slowly degrade, in a way that LCD screens don't.
Thats one of the trade offs we have to accept for the vivid colours and deep blacks.

had the same problem. downloaded screen adjuster and added more blue to the screen fixed.

Has anyone who tried out this phone tested it for the screen lines/blobs issue that the S2 had?
I would also like to know this too the yellow tint issue, and black blobs. I had the issue in both my SGS 2 black and White...though in galaxy nexus it was vey negligible but still there . I hope its not in SGS 3
There seems to be a pink tint rather than yellow tint.

Should probably wait a bit before buying this phone, who knows what the probability is.
Bump. People should know about this before buying the phone.
Most of the screen won't have tint problems . But still people can check the screen using lcd test code before taking it to home

What about black crush issues? Is it all pixellated when viewing dark videos or images?

I hate this on my S2. Hopefully in a few days when people start getting their phones we will have these questions answered.
LCD TEST CODE is *#0*#

Has any S3 owner checked the issue about the pixelization when viewing dark videos or images?

Yup! I received my SGS3 yesterday, and after seeing this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658601 I checked the Iron man Pepper Kiss video on Youtube and I did not notice any problems!
The pixelization is sometimes caused by poor encoding.
I received the phone yesterday.
Did the LCD tests.
All tests are crystal clear. RGB backgrounds look like glass and the black videos are deep blacks without pixalation of any form.
I also checked another thread talking about some kind of pixels that were appearing as different colour and this didn't occur either.
The screen works perfectly and it does look gorgeous despite that pentile screen debate.
If a phone doesn't perform as described by me (and many many others) then the phone is simply defective and will be covered by DOA.
Bumb:cyclops: sorry
I picked up a s 3 Sunday and noticed that that screen has a slight yellow tint to it. I've read it could be the glue not fully dried our whatnot. I notice that If I tilt the phone and view it from different angles, then the yellow tint disappears white backgrounds are "white"
Should I take the phone sand exchange it or will this go away?

Go to Settings>Display>Screen and un check auto adjust screen tone then reboot. The yellow tint should be gone.

Short answer NO, its not going to clear up, I have 2 of these phones one is " white" and other is yellowish, the yellow one is actually getting worse, only problem is it might take u 3-4 phones to find a " white " its a issue with Samsung screens it took me 4 galaxy nexus to.get one that finally had no yellow tint, I'm going take this gs3 back problem is finding another one ..... ur carrier might only have 30 day retun but Samsung has a year ( repair )so its not something u need rush on if u wanna wait it out ubhave more than enough time ...

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I have them too.
Black spots that are visible on black backgrounds are called ink spots. They are very common in AMOLED screens, since almost every AMOLED screen have them.
I have them too. Now I can't stare at a pure black screen in a dark room. Very upset

I am so happy I don't have any black spots on my sgs3 yet galaxy nexus and sgs2 had them
Believe me, you haven't noticed them yet. But they are there =)
Yeah I have them too. They are normal.
how bad is it?
I am about to buy the s3 tomorrow. Every night i watch series in bed on my galaxy s. I cannot have a screen with weird black spots. Are they easy to notice (mostly i use screen filter to dim my screen an extra 75%). I'm really afraid these will be very very visible.
I didn't notice them until I dropped my phone on its face and got a couple of mini-scratches on the screen... now they're very visible, but they appear only where the scratches are.
Black spots
I use S3 for 8 months and black spots on the screen increases ....
Do you have this on your screen guys? A

Yep there is a topic on it in general section I think. "ink marks" or something. Personally I think it is not a major problem. I have 2 or 3 tiny spots but most of the time we don't use the phone in a pitch black environment, nor are we looking at a pure black screen (how often do you spend in the homescreen?). It would however be an issue if it was noticable during movies, games etc, where the viewing experience is paramount

Yes true, it would be an issue if it was visible while watching movies and such.. but question is how long should this ink spot last compare to the other parts of the screen?
What does this ink indicate?
Yes I have them and it annoys me. And I don't understand why people defend it and say it's okay, we've all paid a lot of money for these phones how is it okay or acceptable to have black dots all over the screen? Yes it's only under very specific conditions but that's not the point, it is extremely annoying watching movies when they fade to black, when in the app launcher under dark conditions. And it's not just 1 or 2 small dots it's like someone broke a black pen and flicked it all over the screen.
It's just the way how the amoled is made. Every amoled has it. Don't worry. U won't notice that after while

I've only had the phone a few days now so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt since everything I've read is saying you get used to it but...... It's there..... There are dots on the screen every time there's black, how do you get used to that? I understand every AMOLED screen has it but don't you think that if it's that big a problem then the screens aren't ready for prime time and need to improved? I've found myself using white everywhere when black is what saves battery on an AMOLED screen and black looks good on an AMOLED screen but I can't stand the dots.

I have it too, annoying to know they're there but not that big of a deal in every day use. Still buggers me every once in awhile tho.
I always heard that Amoled displays have perfect blacks with no grey color, but when I use my phone in the dark the blacks still posses a soft grey tint with them. Why does that happen?
For pure black, the pixels are off. You're either not looking at pure black or what you're seeing is the colour and reflection of the screen

In theory , Yes, as RootSU mentioned, but the problem is there is something called "screen mode " or Color calibration, for easier understanding.
If you ever used Galaxy Nexus, then you know there is color calibration for the Super Amoled screen, but the problem is, it is very very very HARD to configure the pure black.
As far as I know, galaxy S3 doesn't have color calibration as I mentioned in Galaxy Nexus expect Perseus kernel but I don't think there is any one who is "boring " to do such configuration to display pure black as it may be useless through it could be interesting...

As you can read in screen tests, the GS3 has almost perfect blacks with a value of somewhere around 0,0010. So that's why you're noticing a greyish tint.

Also I forgot to tell you when I compared the amoled display to an LCD (iphone 5) I noticed at high brightness the s3 easily beats it up, but at low brightness the s3 display gets close to that of the iphone's or a bit worse (I'm not so sure about this I'm not too good when it comes to display tech).
