how's everyone's screen color uniformity?

jayochs · Mar 11, 2016

I'll never in my life get a perfect phone.. ever. out of every android I've had, none have ever been perfect.

either way, how's everyone's screen uniformity? I just realized that my screen is brighter towards the bottom left and much darker as it goes to the top left. so annoying. only really notice it on gray backgrounds ugh but you can kinda even see it on white too. pretty annoying but i really dont know if it's even worth swapping it out, because i know with my crap luck I'll get another one that's even worse.

so how's yours?

My flat S7 has a bad screen too : Pink / Green color shift from top to bottom...

I already had this problem with 3 different S6 so I'm really disappointed the issue is still present with the S7. Got a RMA but it may takes 3 weeks for a replacement thanks to the ****ty consumer service in my country

.

Here is a shot of the problem (the 2 shots are the same I have just augmented contrast on the second one to clearly see the problem).

damn, thats definitely worse than mine. the bottom of mine is just brighter and the top is darker, which can be a bit annoying. I notice it if I go landscape and pull down the drop down bar if I'm using a theme that has a darker color.. or if the status bar is colored like hangouts, the left side (top) will be a darker green than the right (bottom) which just looks brighter.

Yup...same on my new S7. Green tint on the bottom, pinkish tint on top. Not as pronounced as on my previous S6, but still noticable. Have to use the phone a bit the upcoming days to find out how much it will annoy me, and whether I will return the phone.

Same ol' same ol' Samsung

damn! widespread issue huh. guess that one website that said it was the best screen ever must have gotten lucky with a good unit! hah

oh yeah, S6 story all over again.

"that website" gets cherry picked units and never ever reports on physical defects like discoloration or gray uniformity.

it's a great screen otherwise, ha!

jayochs · Mar 11, 2016

haha damn! oh well. I mean I can kinda notice it even on white now where the bottom of the screen just seems slightly brighter. meh, I'll learn to live with it sadly lol

hmm. well, gray is the WORST culprit for AMOLED screens to show fault. man, i remember the galaxy s3 days when I worked for verizon..when i was ready to buy mine, i checked each phone before picking the one i wanted because no lie, i saw so many amoled issues with splotchy screens and just lines in the screen that you can see on gray. remember hte days of blotchy ink looking on a black screen too? man, this is kinda reminding me of the S3 days haha nostalgia i guess..

if anyone has a screen with perfect gray uniformity (and without pink / green discoloration), please post.

freehead · Mar 12, 2016

My got this problem too. I'll send it back to service on Monday, don't want to ignore this issue.
On bright screen it is difficult to see but on lower screen in dark rooms it's an disturbing effect.

notice the pink / darker bottom of the S7E (and i bet the gray test will show that part to be darker too) against the perfect Note 5 screen in this video:

This is a common problem since the Galaxy S2 days, a lot of consumers have accepted this as a norm which leads me to believe that samsung is just slacking on the quality control. Im getting an S7 soon I have high hopes on the screen lottery..

Very weird

An amoled screen should be pitch black, for it does not activate black pixels, i havent see this before, you should go back with your S7.

jayochs · Mar 13, 2016

those are gray images not black.

so here's some anecdotal evidence. went through 3 Edge and 4 regular display models and only 1 regular (gold) variant had perfect grey uniformity and pretty even whites. the rest showed very pronounced gradient effect with the grey background on either top or bottom.

how's everyone's screen color uniformity?
