As we can see here, Hong Kong user faced 2 models of screen and 2 modes of touch panel

Truly got better contrast adjustment, but poor viewing angle
Innolux got poor contrast adjustment, but better viewing angle relative to Truly

how about you? Are you within this 2 models? Is there 3rd screen & panel?

is Sony gonna get this better in the later batch of phone or update? Such as tuning Innoux back to normal contrast

I just got mine today. Contrast seems on the lower side but viewing angle is good. From Singapore.

Where's the option to see the screen manufacturer? I can't find it in the service menu..

I just visited the sony store again to do an exchange for my C5 ultra. I saw a live green one on display and the red colours had turned brown! I tried to play around with the white balance but couldn't save it.. I just hope that if this happen to me, it better happen during the warranty period......

I have no idea what mine is, I only know that it ****. Brutal yellow tint that I cannot get rid no matter any calibration, and light leaks all around the frame edges. Absolutely pathetic..

Mine is an innolux too and I got a bit disappointed when I turned it on the first time, you know.. that yellowish tint it's absolutely a turn off, especially switching from Moto X devices then to Z3C (that I dropped and screen popped out) and now C5 Ultra...

... but if you try to calibrate it, add just 68 of blue, my screen is also white and I have to say that to be an Innolux - blacks are black, contrast is good so assuming that all Innolux are the same can be a false statement. I bought mine in a Sony store and when I went to see for some cases and a dock I tried to play with the settings of 2 C5 that were on display, both with Innolux, but 2 different displays. Compared with mine only one of them was having the same blacks and in the other one the yellowish tint was not going away adding 68 of blue.

Yeah, baffled. Probably some are defective and need to be replaced.

just same ****
bought it yesterday and will sell it now
You should go to any center/service and give them the phone and tell them iat not your fault and the device is half done. They must give you another new device. In Turkey, most of the people had your issue and they gave their phones to the service. They got their phones like 2 3 weeks later. According to their comments, the service took the old device and gave a new one.(with last update) it happened in a forum called donanim haber. Device is fine and has no problem except firmware. Go give your device sir.

I also have Innolux on my phone, purchased from Wind in Canada. No issues with yellow tint or light leak. Subjectively, and I know the specs say otherwise, it looks better than the screen from my old Xperia Z Ultra.

Is the WIND model same as what is sold by Sony? Or is the LTE disabled?

I got a replacement because the first one failed to read memory card.
This time I got a black one, and the screen looks more even on white (Truly), plus the battery is better.
It's recommended to get black model (all variations) because the hardware is better.
