Other True Tone on or off?

I have true tone on for my iPad 10.5 and it looks great, not so much on the X. I have true tone off on the X and Night a shift on with it just a couple notches up from the left. Looks just like my iPad now.
It is the nature of OLED, one display can look slightly different from the next. An example is I have had every Note since the 1 and I have had to adjust the screen colors differently on every one. Apple should have a wizard at setup so the user can adjust the color profile as they see fit.

On on my iPad Pro 10.5, off on my 8 Plus.
Seems to go far too warm on the 8 Plus compared to the iPad.

I don't think true tone has anything to do with HDR... True Tone is meant to adjust to ambient light to give you an accurate colour profile no matter what the light around you is doing. It was around before HDR.
Why all the talk about True Tone now? It debuted on the 7?
HDR has absolutely nothing to do with True Tone except to say that with True Tone enabled you will obviously get a subtly different colour temperature. HDR simply refers to the colour gamut of the device and the difference in low-peak contrast (not brightness, as people misunderstand).
Now the phone looks like the calibrated screens in the studio and are color accurate to the printer.
Well at least my sample. There are screen out there with blue, read, yellow color casts in their while point settings.
With true tone off it looks like an old tv set, electric blue - always -
Some prefer that look an Apple obliges

True Tone is off for me. It makes my screen look piss yellow.
Weird thing I don’t mind it on the iPad Pro but hate it on iPhone X.

yes! it's noticeably warmer than the 7 screens... I turned it off for the first time today. true tone was a bit weird for me... especially since my laptop and other devices don't have it, going from the warmer phone screen to any other screen that was cooler threw me off.
Still playing around with it, but TT on and the hue intensity about 1/5th away from the far left (minimum) is actually looking pretty good on mine, anyway.
Surprised me, since I like a cool screen and never thought I’d use TT. (TT without the hue correction still does look awful, at least to me.)

people without a clue turn it off cause they think that blue is actually white
I’ve been using True Tone on iPP 9.7 and now 10.5 and quite like it, and have left it on on my X. I do agree though that it does seem to work better on the larger screen.
I posted this the other day, was mainly comparing max brightness. True Tone is turned off and all 3 phones on max brightness. The white balance is off a bit - they are much more cool (bluer) in person. My 7 (on right) is very cool, and the X is even cooler, but my galaxy s8+ is freezing cold in comparison lol.

I haaaated True Tone when I first got my X a couple days ago. So yellow, I didn’t understand the point!
However, I wanted to experiment so I kept it switched on for a couple days to see if I adjusted to it. Well, not only have I gotten used to it, now when I switch it off, it is EXTREMELY and painfully blue! Worst is that I now hate the screen of my Mini 4. Its so harsh and blue. How did I ever find that acceptable??!
So yeah, I do indeed like True Tone. If you had asked me this a couple of days ago I would have answered quite oppositely. Apple knows what they are doing. I don’t know how, but my True Tone screen has magically gone from a dingy yellow to beautifully white and rich.
