looks like mine.
Currently i'm using the TT on with the accomodation filters...
PS: when you say "white is white during the boot", do you mean the apple logo?
I’m assuming you mean 11.2 beta 3. Not seeing any difference on my X. Who is they?
So I decided to order a 2nd one for comparison, and WOW huge difference. The 2nd unit I had, had a very strong purple hue with 1 degree movement which wasn't present on my original. The 2nd unit also exhibited a more yellow white balance but appeared slightly brighter. This really is a lottery. I'll be keeping my original, heh. Now I know what people are referring to now.
Was at the Apple Store yesterday comparing my phone X to 3 others. 2 were display models, and one was the Genius helping me new X. All 4 phones had totally different color screens. From pink to blue to yellow. The 2 display models had the least amount of color shift, but still very noticeable. Mine and the Genius had almost the exact same extreme shift to blue. He didnt seem annoyed by his, but I think I got him to start thinking about it 
I left though, as they didnt have any of my phone in stock. He took my name and will be holding one for me this week, but it doesnt really matter....I just bought an 8 plus The X is getting returned. The OLED just does not agree with me (I've had many other OLED phones with no issue, however). I'm hoping the latest rumor of an LCD in a slightly bigger X is true. I'll happily buy one next year.

Right, from the pics but what about in real life?

Any picture please?
No I don’t. I have been using the new one for the last few days and the difference is amazing. In my office at work my original one would look really dull and yellow under the lights (yet looked fantastic and cool under the lights at the Apple store). This one isn’t nearly as bad. It does still change under different lighting but all my previous iPhones have done that. There is hardly any shift which is good so I am still happy. If it matters the other phones had serial numbers starting with F1 or F2. This one stars with DNP
Mine is also DNP and it has a bright uniform screen. There is a small blue shift though which is characteristic of OLED. Overall, I’m really happy with mine.
Left looks yellowish and right looks reddish. In this pics I'd pick the right one as it seems to suffer less shift and more uniform.
I have one starting with DNP But I have been looking closely at the screen and compared it with different display units at the Apple Store + compared to my previous iPhone 7 + (All the below with TT off and NS off):
1st and without any comparison, I saw my screen warm and then coming slightly pinkish and then gradually blueish when turning the phone on the right or on the left looking at it via those different angles.
2nd when comparing my iPhone X to my previous iPhone 7+ then I can see clearly my iPhone 7+ much whiter when looking at white background or by looking at the setting screen. Also before that I have never thought that my iPhone7+ has really a cool color since it has warmer color than wife one. Note that I feel my iPhone X brighter than my previous iPhone 7+
3rd when I have compared my iPhone X with a couple of iPhone X from the Apple Store display then mine looks much brighter for sure (for checking I had always turned off true tone and set brightness to max but they were less bright than mine). At the same time the display models were less warm than mine. I have indeed noticed that the color shifting is almost always slightly different from one iPhone X to another.
So the good is that my screen is really bright... OK but in another hand my screen is warm and I would need to play with the colour Filters to set it closer to what I would expect.
4nd I have noticed another issue with my sim tray which is popping up on the bottom. I have tried to do everything even pushing very hard but it can't go deeper on the bottom side while the top of the sim tray is fine.
My conclusion is that I don't think that the serial number will really make any difference on the phone production quality.
