iPhone X Combined | iPhone X Yellow / Blue shifted Display?

This thread has been successfully infiltrated by trolls, haters, and conspiracy theorists. I’ve seen what brigading has done to places like reddit and it’s not pretty.

Anyway, of course everyone wants that ‘perfect’ screen. Guess what? There’s nothing to worry about. Just move on with your life, OLED just takes some time getting used to, it’s a different technology than IPS LCD.

And also, I am an acolyte of The Church of TrueTone. You just need faith, you have to believe in the Superior Way of the TrueTone God. You won’t be able to turn back to those displays without it. It’s just a fact of life now :p

True Tone actually isn’t bad now that I made the hue settings. I can see the appeal.

Stupid question , does turning True Tone on completely cancel out the technarchy caliberatiin or does that come first ?

looks good enough to me too!

smart man, knowing when to call it quits. panel lottery / return hell can be a sour process rather quick

Hell yeah, I remember those lotteries with PC monitors. I swear if there was a dead pixel in existence, I would spot it! And whenever a manufacturer used different suppliers for their panels, I would always get the bad one!

Yeah I really am glad it’s samsung made only OLED in here

So just a standard lottery not a lottery on top of manufacture luck of the draw

To each his own I suppose

I have looked at it quite a bit and compared it to my excellent t screen 7plus and it smokes it.

After thinking about it, when I took a picture of my X’s screen, it looked “off”. In person, I got a great screen that I’m happy with and I’m very picky. Color shifting is an issue, but that’s not as much of a panel issue, as an issue with the technology. I’ve gotten used to it.

I assume your screen is great in person. I feel like pictures of this OLED don’t do it justice. It’s fantastic.

The hilarious thing is that now my darn 7 plus looks yellow! This white blue look is growing on me.

What I need to do is pack up the other phone , stop comparing and just have fun. The x actually shows more information on the screen on cnn and MR. but it’s narrow so my mind things it’s smaller. Once I start using it exclusively all the niggles will go away. For now I keep picking up the plus because my eyes and brain are used to the way it looks.

My 7 Plus leaned warm from day one. Was never a huge fan. I prefer cooler. Warm displays just look nasty to me.

My note 8 screen isn't yellow looking at it straight on. It's probably a defect. Do agree though but not in the OP's case.

Not a defect. Just calibrate your display.

My wide’s x was warmer now it looks more like my 8+ but sharper, more vibrant colors, and vastly better contrast, can all be attributed to OLED.

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

This! I noticed that inside (also Phillips Hue) the phone is way too warm and I turned off TT. Outdoors is a completely different story. Looks the same with TT on or off.
 
My eyes are very sensitive to color shifts, and from what I see in the pictures here, every phone has a shift. It’s the oled tech. So settle, or return.

Every iPhone I’ve had since the 4, and most iPads have had gradient issues, so I’ve learned to deal with it. Hell even my iMac had gradient issues, nothing is perfect.

My X display is fine. When I fired it up, it had a yellow tint but that was due to the True Tone. I turned that off and everything looks good on my end. The display is gorgeous.

How dramatic the shift appears in the photos I would say it is

But if you’re fine with it don’t tempt fate with possibly a worse unit I suppose

I’ve seen several X devices. They’re all “the same.” The closer the phone is to you when you tilt it, the worse the color shift is.

The odds must be bad then

Mine has no obvious color shift insofar as two toned

Maybe I’ll un box another just to compare at some point
 
I saw the Iphone X of my friend today. First thing I noticed was the whites looking yellow. Turned out "true tone" was turned on. When turned off the screen looked fine, whites were white again.

Of course it does. :) As you tilt the screen, parts of the screen are at different angles to others. So depending on how close the phone is to you, that color shift is going to change dramatically vary over the different positions the screen is in.

I have no reason to make things up I’m saying my OLED screen has tint when you shift it like all oleds

**But** staring down it at dramatic angles with the top closest to me and vice versa bottom to top it is a uniformity tint shift. No two tone. And definitely no two tone straight on which has historically been a thing with OLEDs both for tv with LG WOLED and these mobile OLED Samsung pumps out.

I’m familiar with characteristics of OLED that would bother me. This unit doesn’t have that tho. As far as I can tell and I’ve been looking for fault :)

I always go into panic mode relatively speaking with a new apple toy because it’s a new screen lottery. I’m good here
 
On mine white is blue or blue/gray. True Tone sort of turns it yellow, but it never gets white. Is white something oled never does, like lcd’s refusal to show black?

True Tone is like yellow acid on my eyes. Another one of those things that bewilders me in its acceptance and existence.

Maybe we're just looking at it differently... Not sure what to tell you. All I know is I've seen a bunch of X devices and they all do this.
 
I can't believe people have this conversation for a freaking flagship device, more expensive than it ever was...

We're here basically asking ourselves "should I get used to have such a screen, I miss my previous phone"...

Send it back to Apple ! Mine sure does next week.

I don’t think so thO


I picked up a demo X at apple store and it had some obvious different tint at the top even straight on. FWIW

Id play with a handful more you’re bound to see what I’m referring to with one that’s fault free

Here's another example - if you look at 5:05 in this video:


Can clearly see it's the same thing I experience.
