Thumbs down [Q] Xperia Pro -White color temperature / yellow tint

So yesterday I got a brand new Xperia Pro. It's a great phone, but it seems there may be a problem with the screen.

It has a very annoying yellow tint to it. This becomes especially bothersome on white webpages, where whites look yellowish.

Compared to my Motorola Milestone and my sister's Xperia Pro Mini, the screen of my Pro is definitely a lot warmer as far as white color temp is concerned. I'd say its around 5500-5800K.

This is really annoying, because every other monitor I use has colder whites, thus making the Pro's whites look even worse to my eyes.

I'm planning on having the phone replaced, but I won't do so until I know this is a problem and not a feature.

Any other users experience this?

Thanks in advance!

When you say 'gamma' plugin, do you mean the nightmode function?

Default on live with walkman too

I am seeing this on the live with walkman too, did you find out if this is a problem with the screen (like the Xperia S issue) or if its a 'feature'?
and did you endup replacing it?

Cool What about a flickering?

I haven't noticed it, but then maybe I'm not paying that much attention to the color hues anyway.

What bothers me at times is a slight flickering that I seem to notice randomly for a fraction of a second.

Has anyone seen these or are my eyes failing me?
