Seems you need to get a handle on that rage of yours. I asked (someone else) a simple, sincere question.
Got a tip for us?

It sounds like some shift way more than others and are warmer. The warm/shifty panels are the bad ones. The cooler, not so shifty panels are the good ones. Go for a cooler panel.
Okay, sounds good. It sounds like you need to exchange your phone, for sure.
Serial I really think doesn’t matter it’s still a gamble but just threw it out there
Quite yellow under Phillips hue LED
But outdoors , etc pretty white with TT on
I’m silly happy with my silver 64 and display but may crack my SG open just for fun in coming days if it doesn’t sell
What’s that?
I guaranteee it’s irreevant
Especially since my otter box blocks the bling chrome and this display is still a beaut
I think you might be more likely to get a beauty of a screen with silver devices.
Even having a beaut of a Silva I would discredit that IMMEDIately
I’ll let ya know if my anecdotal crack open of SG proves that but I would say even so anecdotal
Color and factory irrelevant but interesting same with capacity
I’d say week more than anything
I had an OG I cherry picked as a Genius Bar replacement 4 and 5 serial no and it was a beaut after multiple duds
Even then anecdotal but it solved my negative black OG Issue
look it up. I’m sure I’ve posted in some of the negative black threads
I have a beaut. And silver is epic but not

Something! I’m observant af
I feel like if u have a good display that’s resilient as long as you
Don’t keep a static 20+ your image you’ll be ok
I always feel like “that guy” when I go to exchange an iPhone. No one else there sees what I see, lol. The color shift on mine isn’t drastic like my Pixel 2, it probably is me being overly sensitive. And the in store displays were all like mine, 1 was much worse. No idea what to do.
I see people posting about yellow screens but I have to say that my screen is perfect, certainly not yellow and this is with the True Tone turned on - When I turn it off it goes to the blue white side. I am a color matcher by trade and have a trained eye for color and this screen with the true tone on is dead on.
LOOK guys
I have an opened brilliant 64 silver in hand
If family members/friends don’t want a 64 SG and Silver I’ll return unopened
Pls don’t PM me with offers don’t want it but im prepared to crack other two open in name
Of science if no one else wants it prior to returning if things heat up enough to want some hands on 3 unit comparisons. I’d settle for top of 3 but I have a BEAUT and will not lose lottery or build or anything this go around since this is a special release and it’s a lot of money.
But my screen is EPIC and this iPhone is a pure joy so far.
I don’t expect
To change my mind
I was concerned of quality and brightness. Not anymore
OLED is king if you get a good unit

Lots of people getting good panels. You have 14 days. Dont genius exchange it whatever you do, simply do a retail return then rebuy. If you genius swap you cant return the phone anymore and now are stuck with potential refurbs.
OMG!!!!
you guys im freaking out
the two unopened iPhone X 64 (SG and silver) I have are VZW unlocked. QUALCOMM!
my ATT GSM unlocked silver 64 has a beautiful screen but now im THAT much more tempted to try one or two of the others to compare RF and resell/compare screens woowwww
what do I do
--

Same shift with mine. About 10 degrees and it's already noticeable. First experience with an OLED phone, so I was pretty surprised by this - it's shifting well within the angle range you'd comfortably use the phone in. Disappointing, but the screen is simply fantastic straight on, so I can sort of forgive it. As a photographer, I'm guessing I'm just a lot more sensitive to this than most people would be - it'll be mostly fine except for viewing photos.
Yeah, that's what I'd do if I decide to swap. I compared my X to my laptop screen that I calibrated with a colorimeter to 6500K, and with TT off it is pretty much the same as my laptop. So that's promising at least. The damn TT when turned on is just way too yellow compared to that Verge video. Not sure this is a defect, but just a software instruction from TT. Basically when I enable TT at half brightness or less it looks the same as having night shift enabled, which is pretty damn warm.
For those wondering what viewing-angle color shift looks like on a 2017 LG OLED 65" C7 TV looks like, here you go. It's unfortunately a normal characteristic of these screens. You either like it or you don't (well, you either DEAL with it or you don't), but they all shift. Again, with iOS using a bright palette of whites for most of the time - it's unfortunate that this sticks out like a sore thumb...
I have noticed that True Tone REALLY exacerbates you noticing the color shift because True Tone tinges toward the warmer/yellower part of the spectrum whereas the viewing angle issues on the OLED tinge toward cooler/bluer part. So having True Tone off masks the blue tinge off-axis.
Ignore the streaks of light reflected from the windows.

Dang your c7 has a hot left vertical strip
My 9600 65 is wayyyy less intense
My c6 is flawless tint wise
No, my C7 does not have a hot left vertical strip. It has a hot right vertical strip. And a hot left vertical strip. And that ALL depends on the viewing angle! And all of the 2017 OLEDs are like this (since LG manufactures them all).
sorry to break it to ya but its panel lottery too, not "an LG thing"
my 2016 built 2017 c6 55 has a PERFECT uniformity and minimal near grey banding
my 2015 built 2016 9600 65 has a really subtle hot yellow side but otherwise good, and uniform consistent banding in near grey that I cope wit for the price I got the tv at
I can tell you for sure it's an LG thing this year. The 6 series didn't have this issue (they had other issues, like poor reflectivity issues where you end up with purple on the screen due to reflections) I've tested 6 or 7 2017 LG OLED C7s/G7s, and W7s at the store. I've also tested a couple of Sony A1E as well. ALL have EXACTLY the same thing going on with the viewing angle tints. It's not "variations." It's (for lack of a better word) EXACTLY the same on the sides due to viewing angle.
I've never seen a perfectly uniformly white OLED screen, fwiw, and that IS a panel lottery. But that's not what I showed pictures of.
I believe ya
Have no c7 or a1e hands on experience
And I know ur a screen stickler like moi
