Just picked up this phone a few days ago.
Overall love the build. Am coming from s7 edge.

Concerned about the screen though.
The s7 edge seemed yellowish in basic mode but the other modes were not. Adaptive display was very nice and adjustable too.

Note 8 screen temperature is very warm. Whites look yellow brownish. They don't change between the different modes.

Adaptive display is the only fixand even there it requires several adjustments.
For me they best whites are with temp set to warm and then the green dialed down to about 20-25% of max. That gives me best colors.
However feel like I should have better whites on the other screen modes.
I find if I look at the screen about 20*of axis then the screen whitens up.

Do others find the same our is mine defective? Trying to decide if I should keep this or wait for the LG V30 which night be better to manage size wise.

Take it to the store and compare side by side, make sure the settings and brightness are the same and decide from there. Sending mine back.

Florida unfortunately.
Is Warm supposed to be a slight yellow hue? I thought.
Warm on my Note 8 is pink hue .I have mine set to adaptive, with *#15987# reddish tint set to minus 9 and it looks good. Also, the Basic mode in display does nothing for the color saturation like it did in previous Galaxy devices. Still looks over saturated. I assume this is their new red oled panels LOL

OP , try and post some pics of your issue.

The color balance test helped mine. Wife's Note 8 was already set at -3 ,mine was zero and changed it to -9 which lessened the pink hue. That with adaptive display and it's settings also reduced pink to an extent where mine looks good to my fussy eyes now.

How does*#15987# work? Seems it is a test. How dots this change any values and for which mode?

Can one did this to reduce green and if so which number combo to bring it up

It's not a test, you press a number and it in turn changes the red tint value on the display. Just the red.

I pressed the number and saw no difference. Does one bed to be in adapt display? If so how is this different than using the slider for the colors?

I'm a home theatre enthusiast so I've done a few basic measurements with my calibration equipment. I'm not terribly interested in doing anymore testing than this until we get system wide color management controls/options as there is no point. Any critical grading will be done with other programs and almost always on a computer via programs like BlackMagic Resolve and the like.


***PRE-Post edit, lol***
I decided I'll make a separate thread with everything I was going to post regarding the display modes. I wasn't planing on making a big post but my OCD got the better of me :p
I figured it would be more useful to others in general as a separate thread, rather than being in a thread about screen tinting.
I'll reply back in here when I finish making it (it'll take a bit).
