£350 Apple Watch has better quality screen than £1000 smartphone....
It has actually been demonstrated that the X has a brighter screen than the plus.
If English is your native language you should be very embarrassed. Get your own house in order before trying to insult other people.
Haha. I remember when I worked at a grocery store. For Thanksgiving we were supposed to have fresh (never frozen) turkeys. Well, shipping to our store from the home location is 11 hours, they came frozen. For some we left them thaw out and others when they came to pick up, we told them they weren't frozen but they were CO2 blasted on the outside to keep them cold. 
People believed us. lol. The "let the glue dry" reminds me of this

This is the effect I’ve been experiencing. It’s very subtle.
Like this?

Apple watch has exactly the same problem on a light background. Though most Apple watch apps are black/dark so the problem is less. As does every other OLED phone.

mine has a noticeable pinkish hue around the edges. only really noticeable when the screen is all white, though. i haven't looked at anyone else's iPhone X with my own eyes to compare.
i'm going to wait a few days and see if it's still there before bringing it back. i should also take a look at display phones in the apple store.

As mentioned it's not Glue and never was
It is manufacturer variance. Thats it.
In The Verge review you can see Nilays phone is clearly cooler:

In most photos I've seen the screen is cooler. This is great as I prefer cool screens.
There is no intentional Apple color calibration. The screens are whatever the vendor picks. Samsung leans cool, thus the X is cool. Cheap ass Japan Display leans yellow, so the 7 and 8 are mostly yellow.
The end.

Yep... I work in cookbook publishing (full color printing) as well as movies and calibrated displays are always shockingly warm right after calibrating. Just because they were too blue out of the box. Also because we are surrounded by blue shifted screens. My iPhone 7 has damn near perfect calibration in every way EXCEPT that the white point is shifted slightly toward blue. It’s noticeable when switching between my phone and calibrated work computers.
Personally, I do prefer the slight blue shift aesthetically as our brains really do see it as more white. But if I edited food photographs on a screen with that slight shift, I’d end up making the photos warmer and then they’d print super warm and look off.
Now, these gradient screens with two temps at once. That scares me for my X coming any minute.
As long as Apple keeps up the poor QC with manufacturer variance in color temps, there will be these threads every year. Apple isn't calibrating screens warmer or cooler, and there is no glue. The screens are whatever predominant color temp the vendor picks/provides. Thats it.
Return it. There are plenty of cool screen devices in the wild. Nilay at the Verge has one and puts it side by side with an 8 in the review. Clearly superior. You deserve that level of quality.

Yeah, thanks. Just wanted to see if it was primarily a viewing angle issue or a uniformity issue. It appears to be a uniformity issue, since the notch side is more pink regardless of the direction the phone is tilted.
I plan on returning it tonight and just sticking with the 8 Plus.
The X clearly has less screen area than the Plus sized phones. Total screen area means the most to me.
X is clearly a new type of device, which has first gen issues. Others can be the testers. I'll wait for the X2 in 2018.
Paid $1,264 for this and that's not cool.
you don't need to return it
you just got into the display settings and put white tint down to the lowest level and fixes the issue.
Is this new to the X? Or the same old color filter options that dont really work?
