So I have the phone for two days already and I must say I'm a bit disappointed with the screen calibration.
The white has a grey greenish tint to it and even after playing with the advanced setting in the display mode moving all the way to cool color and taking the green bar all the way down to get a decent white.
In the cost of making everything look washed out.
Either I have a defective panel or it's the built in bule light filter Samsung are adding (even when blue light filter is off)
Any suggestions would be great

I have a thread about this. Many other people are reporting their Note 20 Ultra display is not as bright as their previous Samsung display.
Check out the thread with all the pictures from me and other people here...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...o/note-20-ultra-vivid-bright-note-20-t4144727

512GB Black Unlocked Snapdragon USA Made in Korea model with yellowish tint making whites look yellow and colors are noticeably less vivid when compared to my Note 10+. Brightness is fine.

Despite what displaymate said, its not great. Especially
the white balance. It looks very grayish and a little yellowish. Even with brightness cranked up all the way and vivid color profile. My OnePlus 8 Pro looks much better. Also others have said the contrast and colors are much better on their Note 10+ too. The vivid profile should be much better than it is for a $1300 phone.

Screen tint
Do you see any screen tint when you looking at white or light grey background ? On about 40% brightness.

My first ultra snapdragon was yellowish second is fine. It's oled. That's what happens. There's variences

[Q] Screen contrast too high/Too much white

Hello fellow One users!
I'm loving the device so far, but there's just too much white for my eyes.
The contrast is over all too high so that light colours are displayed less saturated.
I noticed that the contrast is changed dynamically but it's just overall too high, especially under direct sunlight.
Is there any solution to this apart from dimming apps that have to run all the time?
Does anyone have the same problem?
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Color saturation & accuracy

Colors are a bit dull
Colours pop more more than the N5 and they seem fairly accurate.
Fairly accurate but a bit warm. Some people might like it though, I prefer a sharp white but it's good on the eye anyway.
Good color representation and enough color punch
I am satisfied with the color saturation and accuracy. I wouldn't want the color to be more saturated compared to amoled screen. The screen on my 5X is relaxing, there is no pressure/strain to the eyes(auto brightness is on) it just feels right!
According to Anandtech the colors and white point are spot on as far accuracy goes...
http://www.anandtech.com/show/9742/the-google-nexus-5x-review/2
Years of over saturated colors and much too blue white points have conditioned us to think that displays should look like that
Colors seem accurate, EXCEPT for when viewing videos. Colors seem extremely muted when in a video, for instance in youtube, you might see a screenshot of a video when choosing what video to watch, but if you click it and get to the same scene, the colors will be muted in video.

I'm seeing similar behaviour. Gamma looks out of whack in youtube. Blacks are totally washed out. Everything looks overexposed. Not sure if it's a software/driver issue. The display looks great otherwise. Need to try out some other video apps (kodi, mxplayer etc.) to confirm.
Edit: It is indeed a software issue. It's the difference between 16-235 vs 0-255. See this thread for more details https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3r9ftg/defective_6p_screen_vs_normal/

The youtube test fails on my n5x, but not on my n5
I'm pretty happy with it. Improved compared to the Nexus 5(which was good too). Some owners have reported a very warm/yellowish screen but luckily I'm not having that issue. I rated it a 4/5 for saturation and accuracy which is as good as possible for a LCD.
EDIT: So I just did a side by side comparison between my Nexus 5 and Nexus 5X. Side by side the Nexus 5X is noticeably warmer but it's not overly warm and honestly, coming from someone who prefers displays on the cooler side because they look more life like, I actually would give the slight edge to the Nexus 5X. But like I said that is only side by side. With each phone on its own I can't really tell either one being too warm or too cool. As far as saturation goes the Nexus 5X is better. The colors on the Nexus 5 were noticeably more washed out compared to the Nexus 5X(although not that bad). I really see it in the red of the Chrome icon, the green of the Hangouts icon and the blue of the Facebook icon. It's still not AMOLED colors but closer than the Nexus 5.

Does anyone know if any of the custom ROMs fix this issue? I don't see it mentioned as a feature in any of the first posts of the ROMs posted in this forum...

No, but this is a kernel bug. Someone identified the commit in the reddit thread. So you wouldn't even need an entire ROM for a fix. A kernel fix should do it. I don't have enough posts to post in the kernel forums, but you should post in the elementalx kernel thread. The dev seems to be active in developing kernels for all the nexus phones.

Nexus 5 has a white point of just over 7000k, the 5X is almost bang on 6500k.
Like many have said, we are just used to seeing "cooler" colours in our phones. Nexus 5X is really accurate as far as colours go.

That is true though some 5x are arriving with extreme yellow tints which make them look like 5000k or even warmer. Anyone who gets one of these would be 100% correct in saying the device is too yellow, unfortunately since most people are so used to cold blue screens they might not even be able to tell which they received as compared to their old device even a proper 5x panel will probably look warm.
For example this was a replacement 5x device I received on the right which went straight back to Google.

Im fairly certain its addressed by kernels not roms... Personally i use Flar2's elemental kernel and have since the Original N5. With his app (which im happy to support) you have full colour controls including gamma. Which you can flash over stock or custom rom depending on your preference his kernel is in the Original Development section.
Nice colours
My last phone (lg g2) was ruining my eyes. Too cool blue with strong contrast. Overtime a screen with false colors and contrast can ruin your vision - making the real world seem dull.
The Nexus 5X is correct and easier on the eyes.
Well, it seems to me that default color is pumped, like vivid, almost neonic a bit and warm. Which is good I guess for the phone. Im not planning to do any color balancing and adjustments on my phone, I would use the PC for that kind of work of course.
Unbelievable nice!

Mine is generally not too bluish as other display floor models even under daylight (5000-6500 Kelvin).
Color is just right.
The screen is perfect, just have mine set up like this for a little bit of more contrast.

I just bought this phone Saturday and I love the whole big screen and 2nd screen but one question is making me doubtful about it. the images are so pixel or some what very contrast that it makes it look very contrast and some kind of blurriness not sharp. Can you help me with this.

Search for "screen color adjustment" in settings.
I like how natural the images are, they're not over saturated ... they appear sharp and natural.
Go to google playstore download display calibration its an excellent app it akes a huge difference at any brightness level also download v10 hidden settings another great app no root required for either v10 is an awesome device had mine just under a year no equal in the camera dept. And just as quick to load apps games etc as my wifes s7

Screen gamma and black levels!

Hello everyone ,i recently got a z3+ and i noticed that the black levels of the screen are pretty bad...coming from an oled display i was expecting some diffrence but not that bad...I watched some movies and in the dark scenes it is very difficult to see the picture ,everything looks the same and you cant really see the characters or the background ..its a mess especially in daylight conditions its almost unviewable.Cranking the brightness all the way up helps a lot -again in very good lighting enviroments/outside/daylight i cant see a thing in dark scenes- but then the black levels are too bad almost grey not black..
I also had a z1 compact which i dont think it was that bad, i'll try to test them side by side...
So i was wondering if a have faulty screen or something but i would like to hear your experience ...
Overall its nice screen bright with nice colours etc..but the black levels are a dissapointment in movies/videos..
Also i have disabled all screen enchanments (x-reality etc) and my white calibration is 178/162/37 RGB
Based on this review i was expecting more...
Blacks are pretty good in my opinion contrast ratio is brilliant for a ips. But this may come from you're eyes trained to a OLED screen. It's like my TV I have a lg OLED in the living room but a led in the bedroom and now I'm seeing grey instead of black :silly:

Here are some photos of my screen's blacks ...taken at 100% brightness in a 100% dark room ,all screen enchanments off, showing the same black level block picture in all 4 photos...i tried to adjust the camera exposure to make it look as close as what i was seeing ...as you can see it actualy can lit the desk under it and there is massive light bleed (if thats the correct term) out of the 4 corners in low viewing angles ,it actually creates a shape of X of light in a surface...Thats all please try it too to check out your results so as to know if i have problematic screen...

Contrast (true blacks)

How well do you know your fifty shades of grey? Rate this thread to express how good the Lenovo P2's display contrast is. A higher rating indicates that black is true black, rather than a very dark gray.

The super amoled screen is excellent in this domain.
It is an AMOLED display. What do you expect? Black is pure no light. The screen is switched off a the dark areas. It is excellent for inverted text reading (grey text on a black screen) with very low power consumtion..
I cant really distinguish the bezels and dark background of soft nav keys.wow
i use sustratum with swift black theme....
it is PERFECT.... awesome too see each app with black theme.
i comparedside by side the black of other phones of my friends and everyone now noticed HOW MUCH COOL is to have an amoled display eheheheh ( my first amoled phone and i am on love , i won't turn back to ips)

Sooo , I was thinking if we can get Kcal color settings or something it would be fantastic.

Yeah will try when in 3 days my bootloader is unlocked.my white colour is currently yellowish at normal settings in stock s244
The screen is unbelievable for the price point . But the pure Red gets blown away though , eg., see the youtube app logo
I set my green value to 96, now it's perfect!!
Pitch black for sustratum is the best.U save a of energy as well and it looks awesome.
