I’ve honestly watched so many YouTube X vids they’ve all sort of blurred together in my memory.
Hi Guys,
Really don't want to start a big issue or a long debate. Just want some feedback to ensure that my screen isn't defective.
I found that even with true tone turner off in new X which I received this morning there is a yellow hue on the whole screen. Its even more prominent when compared to my 7 Plus.
I know this can be adjusted via accessibility, colour tints etc but I don't want a dud screen out of the box after spending £1149!
Any feedback from X owners across the world would be appreciated.
Thanks

That's probably partially correct. Most LCD panels tend towards cooler color temperatures. However, iPhone screens have always gotten very high marks for color accuracy in independent testing.
The real proof will be when the iPhone X screen gets benchmarked.
When I started calibrating my own televisions with a colorimeter I thought the color temperature was far too warm because I was used to cooler out of the box TV presets.
After getting experience calibrating and seeing just how good a properly adjusted display looks, which will look warm, I can't even stand to look at a blue tinted screen any longer.
Here it is ladies and gentlemen, our official annual "yellow screen" thread of the year. The grand tradition continues. See you all next year!
Just got my iPhone X. When I powered it on and set it up, I too saw a yellow tint on my display. However, I turned off True Tone, and everything looks great now. Try turning off True Tone!
P.S. This phone is ridiculously nice. I am beyond happy with it.

If that is truly fixing it then it's just a software tweak that they need to do.
I just tried it again at my desk. I turned true tone on, the screen immediately got much more yellow. It almost looked like night shift to be honest. With true tone of it looks fantastic, very happy with it.
This issue is still present with True Tone off. Mine definitely has a yellow hue and is not as crisp as the 7 plus.
My screen uniformity is a little off. Top is a little more blue and the rest is very warm. It’s kinda bugging me for how much money I spent. I may give it a day and see if it changes at all
It's pretty much the most expensive mainstream smart phone yet released, so if you're not completely happy with it you should definitely return it or demand an exchange.
I want to turn off auto-brightness, but in reading that “display performance” line, I’m assuming this has to do with preventing burn-in?
The yellow has gone in settings where you go
From my experience don’t think it matters having auto on or off in terms of screen burn in. Never had any issue personally
Received my iPhone X today and the color of the screen shifts from "yellow" to blue quite a bit when holiding it ever so slightly different.
Maybe its only my unit... I will check it out tomorrow but I have to say right now Im very disappointed!

It's called OLED, if you had done any research before buying a 1000 dollar phone you would have known that that's the big disadvantage of OLED vs LCD.
Could you take another photo from the same angle, but flip the phone so the notch is at the bottom?
