yes for sure!The red in Whackman's avatar does look different between the screenshot and my screen. Here's the difference illustrated in Photoshop (the two circles on the left are the two shades):

Can anyone else see it?
Yikes. I have a 2014 rMBP that I love the display of. Will be doing a side by side as well.Wait this is actually a thing? Multiple people say the 16" has worse color than the 15"?
That's really disappointing.
I'll do a side-by-side when I get mine. If the 2016 model has better color, I'm returning the 16" for sure.
Every time Apple releases something new that is shiny people will look for excuses with the machine. Usually it has to do with the screenI swear to God if this starts colorgate... the first gate spelled differently across English speaking countries.
It's good that you mentioned it. Now we can be aware of it and now we also know we can change it and have better luck. Thanx!I honestly think it is because apple owners of these high end products have extreme expectations.... but I tried all settings on my model from yesterday and nothing helped! it was a faulty machine for sure... swaped out no issues, the box looked ruffed up too... strange....
I just swapped out my MacBook Pro and received a newer build date and the screen is much better.I had a similar conclusion about the screen. I purchased the 16" 2799 model today and compared it to my early 2019 15" 2799 model and felt the 16" had a warmer screen and the colors appeared to be more washed out. Considering returning the 16" MacBook Pro.
It could be possible they use lcd panels from different manufacturers, so maybe your second unit had different brand panel. Or the panel was from different batch. There tend to be differencies from panel to panel and you will likely notice more or less differencies when you put two same model machines side by side.I honestly think it is because apple owners of these high end it was a faulty machine for sure... swaped out no issues, the box looked ruffed up too... strange....
According to the release news, the display on 16" MBP is factory calibrated. Was this the case with previous models? I don't remember that being mentioned anywhere. It might suggest that your old display is just over-saturating. And the new one is showing the correct colors.
What was the differences in dates ?I just swapped out my MacBook Pro and received a newer build date and the screen is much better.

How 16" panel white/gray uniformity on solid color full screen patterns looks like? Any backlight bleeding with black image?
LG Display. They are the sole supplier.Probably just panel lottery. Any idea what companies made panels for the 16" model?
OK. Then it could be simple variation between batches and/or calibration adjustments made at the factory.LG Display is the sole supplier for the 16" MacBook Pro.
Assuming your screen shot was accurate, that was a matter settings or something, not the screen itself. Screen shots don't capture what the screen colors are, only what colors the screen is being told to show.this new unit however, is much better - just amazing how washed out the other one looked almost like an air!...lol
nope I tried re-setting all settings, it was the screen I am sure... was dull as he**.... very odd...Assuming your screen shot was accurate, that was a matter settings or something, not the screen itself.

Yep, definitely not a display issue. Not saying there wasn't an issue with the original unit, but a screen shot will not show a fault with the display. Its not how screenshots work.Assuming your screen shot was accurate, that was a matter settings or something, not the screen itself.

That makes your screen shot a great mystery, because it can only show the colors the screen is told to show. Even if you disconnected the screen (and knew how to take a screen shot with keyboard shortcuts) you could take a screen shot, and it would look the same as if the screen were working. Something was telling it to show washed out colors.nope I tried re-setting all settings, it was the screen I am sure... was dull as he**.... very odd...
well, not sure I'd return it to keep the 15", keyboard alone is enough for me... oh and the speed...
The fact that this needs to be explained shows the level (or the lack of) of some threads...A screen grab or print screen is showing us what your computer is telling your screen to display, not what you are seeing. Think of it like this. You have a computer > display/screen > then your eyes. A screen grab shows us between computer and display/screen. For us to determine if your screen is messed up, you would need to take a photo of your screen, so we seen between display/screen and your eyes. Does that make sense?

Yeah, sometimes the same thing worries me when I read these forums.The fact that this needs to be explained shows the level (or the lack of) of some threads...
