General The Display issue Thread....(color fade, flickering, tints)

[man1acc]

Hey guys,

I havent seen a thread related to display issues. In 2 german Forums I found threads about various issues. From Color fade, to overall greenish tint or flickering screens.
Sadly I am very picky with display stuff and my Display isnt perfect either. I mostly use relatively low brigthness settings (around 30-40%) and on dark mode especially the settings menu has a color fade from dark grey to dark blue. This cant be seen on any other color.
Its easy to see in a dark room, the brighter the room the lesser you will notice.
To easier check: use telegram, with its blueish theme its definitely way stronger fading there...

For a phone thats 649€ in germany thats unacceptable for me. My P5 has a slight warmish but perfectly even colored display and thats what I expect from a P6.


What about you? Can anyone check their display if thats a common issue?

Hi,
i have the same issue, also a device from germany.

Even when booting when everything is white, I always have multiple changes between white and blue in the display.

I'm at work, I try to take a picture when I get home.

 

[man1acc]

Please do, Id really be intersted. Sadly we cant do anything about it...

Anybody have the green ish tint on a black screen issue? Seen a few of those floating around as well...

Similar issues with my screen, also from Germany.
My first OLED screen had been with the Galaxy Note 1 and I hated it for its issues. Always bought devices with LCD screens afterwards.
The Pixel 6 is my first OLED phone since and it is having pretty much the same issues my Note had 10 years ago

Great phone so far (Android is still a bit buggy), but the display is quite a disappointment for me personally, at least for brightness levels below ~50%...

 

[Courtrick]

Is it just me or are most of these issues regarding the display coming from Germany? Please can people state what country the device was purchased from if they have this issue

 

[man1acc]

Wow @Abnovitas thats really really bad. Sadly till now everyone seems to be from Germany...

I just finished chatting with Google's support.
They are going to replace the phone, but I'm still waiting for their email with instructions.

But first they walked me through some superficial settings (disabling Dark Mode and some accessibility stuff, like Color Inversion...) and then tried to talk it off as a normal property of OLED displays, which I didn't accept to this extent. But hey, that's probably just Google's policy.

Let's see if this was just bad luck in the OLED lottery.

For me its too difficult to take a picture with dark screen. The color change is slightly less than the picture from @man1acc

But i have problems with white color, it is light grey and i have green stripes on white, this is also very very difficult to make a picture.
Here you can see it a bit, but in real life it is much stronger

This is how my display looks like. Quite disappointing, Google has the same problems for years. But the phone itself is very well built, so maybe I will keep it. Bought the phone in Germany.

I have some rainbow effect which is mostly noticeable on white backgrounds. Hard to capture but found it is quite noticeable with an external light source. In this case my monitor. Anyone else have this or more importantly for a RMA, don't have it?

Pixel 6 when on a black background the right side of the display has a green tint shadow effect kinda worrying as it's not present on the left side and seems to only appear on darker backgrounds like when pull notification tab down or in a app (like xda) with black background very noticeable , or is this just standard now for Oled displays it's not the first phone I've noticed this over the years just curious if any pixel 6 owners see similar or should I get it exchange ? Added pic not sure if shows that well though

Not normal. Each pixel is controlled individually.
It maybe hardware or firmware.
Sounds like the display control matrix wasn't designed properly or is defective.
Your screenshot isn't showing it so neither should the display!

...Your screenshot isn't showing it so neither should the display!

Unfortunately not true. If it's an issue with the display, a screenshot should never show it. But it can be visible when a picture of it is taken.

My Pixel 6 (right) was bought first day from the Google Store. I'm in the USA. It has a very strong dirty red tint at the bottom and a garish green at the top. Easily visible at 60-70% brightness and lower. Here it is compared to my Pixel 4a (left), shot on my 3a. Haven't had uniformity issues this bad since my OG Pixel (which got replaced).

Waited to chat with a support rep for an hour, chatted for another hour, and have an RMA device ordered and on the way.

 

[DoobyDroid]

Maybe are cross to dark side lol

 

[DoobyDroid]

That was a joke id never cross to the dark side lol and tint only seems visible when in certain dark mode apps and not actually navigating around the phone xda app is worse lol so don't think hardware issue tbh

Lol, read what I said again
At any rate... that's a dud.

Just for giggles and kicks, see if lowering the refresh rate effects that.

You're right, I misunderstood my bad

 

[blackhawk]

You're right, I misunderstood my bad

My bad too, it wasn't worded as concise as it could have been.

 

[Cydras]

who of you all has the problem with the green rainbow effect on a white background?
