I just got my refurbed Tab yesterday. I've owned many tablets over the last year, but I've never experienced a soft kind of glowing effect on dark parts of the screen (like in a dark scene in a video, or even the bottom control bar) when viewed at any angle at all. The image almost becomes difficult to see unless you're looking straight ahead. I only notice this when there's little to no ambient light in the room (which is when 90% of my tablet usage is- reading or watching a movie in bed).
I compared with my touchpad in the same scenario and while there was a *very* slight glow, it wasn't nearly as bad as on the gt 10.1.
I found next to nothing on Google about this. Does anyone else get this, or do I possibly have a bad refurb? It's a shame because I'm completely in love with it otherwise...

Is it coming from the sides? If so, it's LCD screen bleed. It unfortunately happens with backlit LCD panels. It doesn't appear to be too common with the Tab as I haven't seen it mentioned before. I'd send it in for repair while it's under warranty. They changed the screen design in October and you'll get it back with a better display then it has currently.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
No, it's not from the sides. There's no bleeding. It's on the screen itself. It's almost like kind of a ghostly white glow on top of the dark colors on the screen. A shimmering effect, maybe? I'm not sure how else to describe it.

if possbile post the screenshot.
Hm. I guess i'm not explaining it well.
While it is on the screen itself, it's only when you tilt the device to the viewing angle isn't straight on.
Here's a thread from a different forum discussing it:

I just compared my G-Tab with an ASUS Transformer, and it was still there on the Transformer, but not as bad as the G-Tab.
Having played with my S III for a day now, I've been mighty impressed by the vibrancy and contrast of the screen, however, during the evening, when the lights were off, I couldn't help but notice something peculiar.
To be clear, I have no clear dead or stuck pixels and the issue occurs when the device is on, displaying a black screen (though I first noticed it in video playback that had black borders). I'm unable to capture a shot so I'll explain this as best I can.
When on a black screen, there is a faint glow, when looking closely, there are patches of very dark segments throughout the screen that are true black, as opposed to the general glow of the device.
Does anyone else experience this? Is it normal?
Many thanks
Do they look like black splotches that can only be seen when viewing a black screen.in the dark? That sounds like the same problem all vitas have, something that is unfortunately a side effect of oled screens. My current phone, a samsung wave, doesn't have this issue though I've read that some other phones like previous galaxy s models produce the same problems. Bummer if that's it since I hated it in the vita

Yup its on all amoled devices starting from sgs 2 but its less on some and more on others but still I don't think it hinders usage of the mobile
I have this too and find it quite annoying (even though you barely see it, only when displaying a black picture and in dark environment).
Would be interesting to know whether really all S3s have that.
Arg, curses! Yeah I didn't notice it on my SII which is why it was such a shock on the SIII. It's only noticeable in a pitch black room but sadly now I know it's there I fear I'm going to be picky
I hope it's not the same problem existed on all galaxy tab 7.7 models which you could see circles and spots on a dark background in a very dark room. My nexus s and sgs2 didn't have it but it was so annoying (for me) on tab 7.7 which I returned it and never got another one. Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1463622
I hope it's not on all models of sgs3,I'm planning to get the 64gb model...

had this uneven black and white patches in my sgs2. it didnt bothered me much frankly
I'm wondering if this is due d
To the difference between amoled plus and amoled(pentile)....pentile screens can look blotchy, more so than the amoled plus screen

What is so annoying about it ? I bet that no one is looking at a black screen for more than a few seconds in a completely dark environment.
Try this: light up a few pixels on the screen and tell me if you still see the patterns. I bet you don't! S2 has the same "problem" and the thing is that if you switch to landscape the patterns dissapear and re-align. I guess it's how the amoleds work.

If you check the pics in the thread I posted you can see many pics of the problem on tab 7.7. It needs a DSLR with good exposure abilities to make the problem viewable on a pic ( though it is noticeable with the eye in the aforementioned situation ). If the problem is as widespread as it was on tab 7.7 this thread will be explode with pictures and complaints. *fingers crossed* that's not gonna happen hopefully.

If the issue is as bad as it was on tab 7.7 it is noticeable on any "dark" background, not only completely black backgrounds, like when you're viewing a dark pic or during dark scenes in a video or movie, I could even notice it in TW Settings.

so your exchanged model doesn't have this issue? See at least we can be sure that it's not effected all the models like it was on tab 7.7?

It's impossible to see in the light/day time.
You need a pitch black room, with screen test app turn to black screen,,,slowly the wriggly lines and patches will show up. It is annoying yes - 2 phones were exactly the same defects. Each phone had it's own wriggly lines etc.
Tried to take a picture but it's nearly impossible.
A few days ago me and my girlfriend both bought a Pebble Blue S3. Unfortunately mine has a yellow tint to the screen, as a lot of other users seem to have too looking at the various threads about this issue. This is clearly visible when displaying white, but also the greys are affected. The whites appear to be more yellow when brightness is at its lowest. The whites are less yellow at maximum brightness. In direct comparison to the S3 of my girlfriend all this is easily noticible. In addition, in direct comparison between both phones the front cover of my S3 looks darker than hers. So I was wondering: could it be that this yellow tint which is noticible and which is already reported by lots of people, is due to some kind of coating of the front cover? So in fact it isn't due the AMOLED screen itself, but due to the tint of the cover, which thus functions like some kind of filter?
I hope I have some time this week to return to the shop, and see if I can exchange my phone for another one...

Can you check the batch/date/country of your phone and let us know? It might be the new batch and can be the glass glue which is still not fully dried. I remember my iphone 4 32gb had this issue and i waited a week or 2 and it disappeared. Due to high demand the phones are shipped out much quicker and may take sometime for things like these to dry out.

Yep, if you tell me where I can find this information?
Yesterday evening I've been to another shop, and I've seen two other Pebble Blue devices. Both the front covers were lighter blue than mine SGS3, and the screens were more white as well...
It's on the back after you remove the battery. Also there is date/country on battery.

Same here and also Pebble Blue model...and it sucks! It literally ruins my day when you realize you shed 660 euro for...this crap of a display! Already installed Screed Adjuster from the Market (hate the new "Play store" name!!) but it's of little consolation. I think Samsung SCREWED UP big time this time and i'm toying with an idea of changing the model and, for that matter, getting out of Samsung followers as i've bee all these years. It's a shame 'cause I've been on all Galaxies ever and now they let me down.

I went back to the store and showed the problem. They agreed on me, and said it looked like someone threw coffee over it. They gave me a new phone without further discussion. The new one has a nice white screen.
Unfortunately this one has another issue; when I push the capacitive back button (and the phone is in silent/vibrating mode) I can hear a noise/static hiss coming from the speaker, which dissappears after 4 - 5 seconds...
However, the screen is way better, and looks rather nice. I suggest you go back as well and ask for a replacement.
I have the Indian version/ exynos version of the S9 plus, and the screen seems to be overtly warm or yellow throughout. The whites are mildly yellow instead of white.
I tried everything. Changed the screen mode from adaptive to basic to cinema to photos. Still warm. I tried reducing the reds also. Still a bit yellow. Is this a problem with other users as well? Anyone can help me with this? Do I need to send it for replacement?
I've seen a lot of devices in stores (UK) and most of them -but not all- have a cool white temperature.
As with all panels, unfortunately this boils down to a lottery. I'd suggest you try to replace your phone if you're not happy with it and hope for a better white balance on the next one.
My first S9+ had cool whites but uniformity issues (left side cooler than right side) along with black crush. My 2nd unit has good uniformity, cool whites but sadly still black crush.
Actually it might be worth checking the thread about the colour blending https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/help/colour-blending-blacks-problem-t3765385 and see if your device has this problem before you make a decision. If you like watching video on your device, it is a much more serious issue than white balance.

Thanks for the suggestion. I went through it and posted it there as well. I don't have the black crush problem (lucky me i guess?), but this yellow tint is unbearable. I think I'll go to the store and show it to them.
Hi,
This is a stupid question (maybe): don't you have the blue light filter on, have you?

I have the same exact issue. I have the blue light filter off, maximum brightness on, and basic display rather than adaptive, and still yellowish. When it initially starts up the screen is white, and then the Samsung software loads and it turns yellow. I factor reset it, same thing happens. Did you find a fix? I have been spending hours trying to fix this issue with zero luck.
same problem here exynos variant. yellowish when facing directly on screen but when viewed from different angle i got better color. hope we will get an answer to this problem of ours.
I have some problem, got it from Dubai.
i think mine is more serious. Whole screen is Yellowish
So this is on the Snapdragon models?
Here's an example of an unlocked US S9+ that I posted in the black crush thred.
The top of the screen was significantly brighter / warmer than the bottom even during the day. I ended up exchanging this device for another with the same problem. I gamble in the amoled lottery through a different retailer.

Hi Guys
I was Having exactly the same problem, but then I start thinking backwards and I realize that he problem start happening after I Activate night light for google ebooks, then I when there and deactivate night light and it fix my problem, and that is the reason why it affects your phone even if you reset the phone to fabric because the ebook night light is on google not on the phone inself.
Mine seems to be cool white, compared it to my s8
YELLOW TINT SAMSUNG S9+ EXYNOS 128gb Titanium Grey
Hey guys im living in saudi arabia we have the samsung exynos version
first and foremost the display is frighgin amazing nothing to say about that, next the whites, allthe background with white screen (csetting chrome youtube all bckgrnds ) everywhere its like a coffe dipped ( maybe a bit too much) but in general the white does not feel like its supposed to
its like the warm setting comes in default but
they had the same issues with s8 & s8+ last year the store guy told me "samsung had fixed it" :::::bull****.
there really is this yellow tint problem this is exactly what happened to me:
1. 13/04/18 bought the s9+ 128gb titanium grey from store
2.opened the box two days later (i know) was busy.
3.the moment i switched on it started troubling me going through the initial settings in mid brightness , i said to myself might be ready after setting up. Then when the phone swtiched on i forgot about it all coz the screen is beautiful you gotta admit that
anyways after sometime going through the ssetting i found the yellow tint i was friggin irritating.
4.i played a lot with the display settings
adpative display
WQHD+
yelloww tint
then went into the advanced made some rgb changes it is possible to get somewhat of a pure white screen but stilll it is not perfect
so on
5.18/04/18 i went back to the store showed em the problem u know what they said
"I'm the first one reporting such a complaint" anyways he said hell compare it with a piece , they got a s9 at first switched on and fish it had the same yellow tint. i had lost all hope
i told em compare it with the same model so they got another one black s9+ switched it on and "hurray" the screen was pure white( cool setting white) and they wer dumbstruck he called the supervisors they all saw the problem, they reset both the phones nothing anyway i got a replacement by closing time. took home the new s9+ grey
6. opened it " fish" it was the same yellow tint . anyways the store told me if i was facing the same issue again to come back.
so will update you guys after
But this is manufacturing issue i think go at once claim the warranty
we gotta shed come light on this topic becoz this being a new phone everyone isnt aware of it samsung should at once rectify this **** if a problem.
I am not an international user, but I would have to agree with the people in this thread who say that screen balance really is a lottery with the way that Samsung manufacturers AMOLED displays. The displays are produced in big sheets that some refer to as 'wafers' with each individual display punched out of that sheet. The closer your display was punched from the center of the sheet. The better quality/balance it will have. The displays punched out from the edges of the sheets are more likely to have discoloration, and other anomalies. With that being said, there is truly no such thing as a 'perfect' AMOLED display. The most you can hope for is one that is more or less within the tolerable limits of your expectations. I have a T-Mobile Snapdragon S9+ with a manufacture date placing it closer to what was probably the beginning of the second production wave after the initial pre-release wave and my display is pretty good. Little warmer than I am comfortable with but uniform in balance, very little shift, no crushing.
i have an international DUOS (dual sim) version of the G965F Exynos, and when compared with demo phones here in uk and a friends s9+ from o2 (all same settings) its more yellow ... a bit annoyed but its still a nice screen ...
same thing here in my country, all of the display units have cooler displays than my retail s9+ and i don't consider that to be an issue
i'm almost completely sure they tweak those display units, so they look better than the retail version.. after all, they need something to show off with, something that will attract the customers and what's better than the display? i mean, that's the first thing users see and interact the most with, so it kinda makes sense.. moreover, you cannot even open the display settings, because it crashes immediately after you tap on it

S9 + yellow tint on screen FIX
Hello! I found a solution to your problem! I also have s9 +.. and every time i was recording in QHD or UHD.. and then try to see what i had recorded..my screen was turning yellow with no reason.. like the blue light filter was on..even if this one is allways OFF. . . So i found out how to fix that and have no more problems after. Go to Settings - ACCESSIBILITY - VISION - And then close to the buttom you will see : COLOR ADJUSTMENT... You click o that, then turn this ON, and then go and choose :TRITAN ( blue and yellow ) or PERSONAL ... and this is it!
I think this problem is a software bug. I had done a hard reset etc.. but my problem wasn't fixed until i had done those settings on color adjustment!
HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF YOU FOUND THIS USEFULL! THANK YOU

Thanks for this tip, it fixed my yellowish screen instantly. I had turned night light on in Google Play books a week or so ago and forgot about it, but ever since my screen has been too warm and yellow and general Android Settings did not help. Problem solved as soon as I turned night light off in Play Books. Turning off blue light in general settings does not work.
Hey guys,
I havent seen a thread related to display issues. In 2 german Forums I found threads about various issues. From Color fade, to overall greenish tint or flickering screens.
Sadly I am very picky with display stuff and my Display isnt perfect either. I mostly use relatively low brigthness settings (around 30-40%) and on dark mode especially the settings menu has a color fade from dark grey to dark blue. This cant be seen on any other color.
Its easy to see in a dark room, the brighter the room the lesser you will notice.
To easier check: use telegram, with its blueish theme its definitely way stronger fading there...
For a phone thats 649€ in germany thats unacceptable for me. My P5 has a slight warmish but perfectly even colored display and thats what I expect from a P6.
What about you? Can anyone check their display if thats a common issue?
Hi,
i have the same issue, also a device from germany.
Even when booting when everything is white, I always have multiple changes between white and blue in the display.
I'm at work, I try to take a picture when I get home.
Please do, Id really be intersted. Sadly we cant do anything about it...
Anybody have the green ish tint on a black screen issue? Seen a few of those floating around as well...
Similar issues with my screen, also from Germany.
My first OLED screen had been with the Galaxy Note 1 and I hated it for its issues. Always bought devices with LCD screens afterwards.
The Pixel 6 is my first OLED phone since and it is having pretty much the same issues my Note had 10 years ago
Great phone so far (Android is still a bit buggy), but the display is quite a disappointment for me personally, at least for brightness levels below ~50%...
Is it just me or are most of these issues regarding the display coming from Germany? Please can people state what country the device was purchased from if they have this issue
Wow @Abnovitas thats really really bad. Sadly till now everyone seems to be from Germany...
I just finished chatting with Google's support.
They are going to replace the phone, but I'm still waiting for their email with instructions.
But first they walked me through some superficial settings (disabling Dark Mode and some accessibility stuff, like Color Inversion...) and then tried to talk it off as a normal property of OLED displays, which I didn't accept to this extent. But hey, that's probably just Google's policy.
Let's see if this was just bad luck in the OLED lottery.
For me its too difficult to take a picture with dark screen. The color change is slightly less than the picture from @man1acc
But i have problems with white color, it is light grey and i have green stripes on white, this is also very very difficult to make a picture.
Here you can see it a bit, but in real life it is much stronger
This is how my display looks like. Quite disappointing, Google has the same problems for years. But the phone itself is very well built, so maybe I will keep it. Bought the phone in Germany.
I have some rainbow effect which is mostly noticeable on white backgrounds. Hard to capture but found it is quite noticeable with an external light source. In this case my monitor. Anyone else have this or more importantly for a RMA, don't have it?
Pixel 6 when on a black background the right side of the display has a green tint shadow effect kinda worrying as it's not present on the left side and seems to only appear on darker backgrounds like when pull notification tab down or in a app (like xda) with black background very noticeable , or is this just standard now for Oled displays it's not the first phone I've noticed this over the years just curious if any pixel 6 owners see similar or should I get it exchange ? Added pic not sure if shows that well though

Not normal. Each pixel is controlled individually.
It maybe hardware or firmware.
Sounds like the display control matrix wasn't designed properly or is defective.
Your screenshot isn't showing it so neither should the display!

Unfortunately not true. If it's an issue with the display, a screenshot should never show it. But it can be visible when a picture of it is taken.
My Pixel 6 (right) was bought first day from the Google Store. I'm in the USA. It has a very strong dirty red tint at the bottom and a garish green at the top. Easily visible at 60-70% brightness and lower. Here it is compared to my Pixel 4a (left), shot on my 3a. Haven't had uniformity issues this bad since my OG Pixel (which got replaced).
Waited to chat with a support rep for an hour, chatted for another hour, and have an RMA device ordered and on the way.
Maybe are cross to dark side lol
That was a joke id never cross to the dark side lol and tint only seems visible when in certain dark mode apps and not actually navigating around the phone xda app is worse lol so don't think hardware issue tbh

Lol, read what I said again
At any rate... that's a dud.
Just for giggles and kicks, see if lowering the refresh rate effects that.

My bad too, it wasn't worded as concise as it could have been.
who of you all has the problem with the green rainbow effect on a white background?
