Maybe bad sets? Maybe they need warming up?

Anyone got a link to a picture that should show purple hues on my screen?

+ one for a picture.
I can't tell a difference on mine, but I don't have a T-Mob one to compare with.

On second thought - maybe I'd rather not see a pic and smash my rose-colored perception of the phone? lol

Don't know if this is the best pic or not, but I find that the reference photos they use on dpreview.com for their camera reviews have a lot of good color references in them:

Thank you so much for this. Upon loading this image up on my computer, and then loading it via the phone browser I can confirm that my ATT nexus one's screen is SPOT on for color balance [and I was a little afraid of what I'd find]. This is compared to a highly calibrated monitor used from print ad creation. Kudos HTC

super helpful post, thanks akgrown

be interesting to see what tmobile nexus one users might yeild from a similar test?

Try the test image posted in this thread:

see which units are "closer" to true color? My ATT unit is spot on with its calibration.

No problem - glad you found it helpful! I'm going to try the same test myself, once I get home, against my calibrated PC monitor.

Well, there's still the possibility that some units have a skewed color temp/saturation. I'm hoping my results will align with strongergodzilla's, tho.

Also, the tint is definitely most noticeable at the lowest brightness setting, so it might take a little tweaking of monitor brightness to compare apples to apples. However, if the colors match up at "normal" brightness levels, that's good enough for me.

here you go (from some angles), on the bottom is the atnt:

Actually in the past with the numerous iphones i had, there were many times when SERIAL numbers were passed around about which iphone series had a better screen and so on. Which turned out to be fairly true, it was merely a hardware change or different screen manufacturer source who knows. But i for some reason DOUBT its a quality control problem that me though
