What carriers are you experiencing this with?

Second day with this new phone, ran AT&T update etc., and from first minute, no red tint on mine. I do note that on the Display settings, there's a "blue filter" option which will tint the screen reddish if it's turned on...

Heavy red tint on mine, in my case is uneven, it's very noticeable at the top right corner and the sides, since it's uneven calibration doesn't help since it turns green the areas not affected.

I have slight red/pink of the edges. It's only noticable when holding under certain angles. The red gamut is more prevalent in these new displays. But with any oled, its a roll of the dice. If I return mine I could get one that has even worse red like yours. I would exchange that one but still just luck from the manufacturing process.

Just brought home the midnight black tmo version today. No red tint whatsoever (even at angles)

Got two in Friday and one in today (one for myself and my two teenage kids), and two have the red tint issue. All through AT&T. Please ignore the safety warning film, the screen protectors and cases don't get here till tomorrow. I'm fairly livid.

Oh, and even with the red slider all the way to the left, the tint is still present.

I have the red tint issue too . Not sure if I am going to exchange it, using the slider seems to correct the issue. But using the slider to correct will I be getting the same whites as people without the issue?

If you hit *#15987# on the dialer, then pick 3 (-6), you can turn down the red even more. That's what fixed mine. After that, my slider at half was good enough.

I read they are going to try to fix this with a software update. My screen is perfect, I hope the update doesn't mess mine up! (make it less red?)

I called the Samsung Store. I'm going to exchange mine. Even after adjustment, i still have a pink hue on the navigation bar at the top, and the home/recent/back button area at the bottom. I have also had this thing black out on me randomly twice, and when it did, it took forever to turn back on again.

How is samsung;s replacement policy for those in the US? I bought mine through AT&T. Is the turn around time fast?
