I was a little dubious at first when people said "it improves with use" but I have found the screen is less yellow after a couple of weeks.

However, I now have a slight issue that because I mainly use my phone for surfing the web in portrait orientation, the bottom of the screen is normally kept black by the on-screen software keys. This has resulted in this bottom section of the screen remaining with a yellowish glow when looking at a white webpage in landscape (for example). Has anyone else noticed this?

I'm hoping it's just going to take a little longer for that bottom area to "whiten up"...

I have the exact same issue. Although my phone is only 2 days old :D

My screen is way too warm, looks great until you see it next to another phone then you realise just how far out the white really is.

    After a couple of days the display is actually starting to look better.

    The nexus 4 whites are actually starting to look a little crappy and blue at the side of the nexus 5.

    Maybe I'm just getting used to it now. It still doesn't look like matrix_19 screen

    heres some pictures from day one to now.

    If you look at the last picture of it on its own on google chrome it looks fine its only when at the side of another device you really see the difference

    This is day one


    This is today


    This is today on its own in chrome


    What do you guys think

    I bought my 1st Nexus 5 on the day it was released back in October.

    I just received my 5th RMA device all have either had this yellow screen issue or the gap at the bottom of the front screen issue or a blown speaker issue...

    I can confirm that this one too has a yellow screen.... and its a 402K

    Zolah, did yours come right?

    The yellowish tint goes away after a week to 10 days of usage. Many users have reported the same. :cyclops:

    Hope your's goes away as well!
