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

[blackhawk]

There isn’t really wait see if Google fix (doubtful) return it for refund or live with it or don’t use dark mode ,

Not use dark mode? Damn... what's the point than? That sucks.

Yikes. I have a pixel 6 Pro and I don't have these color shifting, tint, crush, flickering, or rainbow effect issues.

What I DO have though -- out of the box - the screen looked like a disgusting piss yellow with faded colors. And that's on Adaptive Color settings. Of course, I tried Vivid and Boosted modes..... and it looks, even more sickly, faded, and 'pissy' yellow. With a few third-party apps. I fixed all this and the screen looks perfect now. Now I have perfect white point, and vibrant colors .

But I was very disappointed initially.

Androids use multiple ICC profiles depending of the image being view. The screen must be calibrated at multiple points as well. It's impossible to do accurately by eye.
The color rendering changes by display brightness and likely display frequency, these variables must by compensated for as well.

Even Samsung is having color rendering issues since the N20U. For the lay person it's impossible to fully calibrate these displays even with the most sophisticated Android app.
This is a major defect... unacceptable.

Turn on dark mode, go into display settings and switch smooth display on and off. You don't see the color shift? It's very subtle. But once you see it you can't unsee it. Mine is more noticable on the right edge of the screen.

What did you do to make the colors accurate? What app did you use?

My provider said they will receive a new batch around 5th of november. I ordered another one and hope it will arrive next week. I can update if the issue is still there with the new batch of phones or if it was just with the initial ones.

So I got my new Pixel 6 today and the issue is still there but 90 % less noticable than the provided imgur link. So I have to look very closely to notice it. Which tells me that this seems to be a display problem. I will keep the phone, other than that I really like it. Thats my final update. Good luck to all.

 

[Polyterative]

I'm having this issue as well
Purple tinting, especially notiecable at 90hz

I ordered from Germany but I'm in Italy now, do you think asking for a replacement would help?
It would be a bit of a hassle for me. Also: where do I ask for a RMA???

EDIT:
Reached to them through the chat, said they're gonna send me a new one even if I'm in italy but the snipment label is wrong and rma link is broken
Will update this

I call bllsht. What apps? Nothing I try does anything. My display is piss yellow, probably going to return it.

 

[Solitario88]

anche io ho questo problema
Colorazione viola, particolarmente evidente a 90hz

Ho ordinato dalla Germania ma ora sono in Italia, pensi che chiedere una sostituzione sarebbe d'aiuto?
Sarebbe un po' una seccatura per me. Inoltre: dove posso chiedere un RMA???

MODIFICARE:
Li ho raggiunti tramite la chat, mi hanno detto che me ne invieranno uno nuovo anche se sono in italia ma l'etichetta dello snipment è sbagliata e il collegamento rma è interrotto
Aggiornerò questo

Same here.... me P6 purchased in Germany but now I'm in Italy. Google support told me that he would send me a new terminal but after two days not received any confirmation email.

Pixel 6 seafoam green

Replacement on the left, original on the right. Big improvement

 

[Migush]

My pixel 6 screen also has a green tint in the (top) right. It's extremely noticable when:
- lowest brightness
- blue light filter on
- extra dimming on

If I go to the extra dimming settings page and move the slider, I can see a moving giant halo around top right corner.

simple solution then. don't turn the blue light filter on

Right. I just meant that it is especially visible with those three things on. But yeah, my screen is looking way better than the ones in some of the pictures here, so I'm a bit reluctant to RMA and end getting multiple other (more) defective units.

Edit: RIP, my screen is flashing

One more thing.. my original device had a very noticeable color shift when interacting with the screen (when the screen went from idle 60Hz to 90Hz). The transition is much more subtle on the replacement (and yes, I have frame rate toggled in dev options).

 

[bs3pro]

Google needs to implement rgb controls to fix the piss yellow tint

Was this the end of your pixel? Did you return it or talk to Google support? Do you think it was inevitable? I thought I had a fine screen, better than most, but now I'm worried.

Haha, Sorry, didn't mean to scare you or anything. That edit was a bit exaggerated .
I don't remember actually saving the edit.

Anyway, what I wanted to say is that the screen flickers a bit (the tint of the screen changes in the affected corners) when it switches from 90Hz to 60Hz mode. So when something updates I can see the tint change. Also happens when the screen is static and I touch it.

Again, it's nothing like most other affected people here, nor does it get worse.

I'll just keep mine for now, because a) I can live with it, b) I can return it anytime, c) I'd like to wait for most of the defective units to no longer be in circulation

Whew! What a relief! Lol
