I assure you there is on many of the X phones. Not the display models, those are largely perfect, but this first batch definitely has yellow fever.

Not seeing any yellow tint with my screen. I think you're better off just laying low on this one and not being so salty about it. Technology improves, did you honestly not think the X would best every other OLED out there? It will happen again next year, Samsung will best the X, then Apple will best the 2018 Samsung.
there are? with true tone off? don't buy that. If there is then those are defected units.
good job mine is fine.
Welp this thread makes it really easy to weed out the samsung apologists. They have been saying all this time "You cant trust toms guide wait for the displaymate review" when dealing with brightness.
Now displaymate is out and they are like "Obviously been paid off by apple"
It would be funny if it werent so sad.

Apple has too much of a cult following....im out of here everyone. Thanks for all the great debates.
You can't just accept facts, DisplayMate clearly stated its the best display at the moment. But guess what? Next year, the Galaxy S9 and Note 9 will have better displays, and then the next iPhone will have even better display and so on. Displays keep getting better, and we all benefit from it.
You should properly read the review, I bet you didn't even read it from start to finish.
What you think doesn't even matter anyway, as we have the facts from one of the most reputed display comparison and testing company and the facts say the X has the best smartphone display! Your feelings and opinions is irrelevant. But ok feel free to leave!
See the yellow/blue shift thread for many examples. Good panels are rare but do exist. Confrats on winning the lottery. Hope you dont get migraines from the oled tech like some others. Im returning mine and going with an 8 plus.
I have seen that thread but many are what comes out the box with true tone on. Mine was the same but with true tone off there are no issues. I'm sure if this was a big issue it would of been made more public by now.
So far I have pretty written off every tech journo. And so-called respected outlets like Consumer Reports and now DisplayMate have earned my ire for their lies and worse still, their venality. Completely understandable and 100% logical that Apple would would engage in bribery as Apple is one of the most corrupt companies in the free market—of course everyone forgets Steve Jobs was involved in stock manipulation. But pundits have an obligation to hold Apple to task for their deception. The iPhone X marks the day when greed and avarice has completely taken over the tech world. With Apple's marketing war chest, there doesn't seem to be a SINGLE entity that is willing to claim Samsung works-of-modern-art are superior to Apple's garbagePhone.
With a beautiful and elegant display as such as Samsung's, this dynasty doesn't need a software portfolio like Apple's. No iWork. No iLife. No iOS. No APFS. No Swift. No Metal. No stupid software kits. Who the hell uses Clips? Who the hell uses GarageBand? Who the hell uses Activity? Who the hell uses iBooks? Who the hell uses News? Who the hell uses Apple Music? Who the hell uses Music Memos? Who the hell uses FaceTime?
If Apple is king of anything, it's bloatware. Samsung phones don't come preloaded with such trifling productivity/creativity apps.
Samsung's patented Infinity Display is all one needs to enjoy their mobile endeavors.

I been telling people i like the X display better then my S8 display...Then they rattle off specs and call me crazy. Glad to see DM agree with me
I wouldnt count on that. People are too apathetic these days. And the other thread was not about true tone. If yours is really bad with true tone on you probably have one of the yellow ones. Pull up settings and compare to an older iphone or a display phone X, both with true tone off. See if yours looks gray or yellow-gray. Warning: once you see it, if you have it,you cant unsee.
as I said with true tone off it's not an issue. With both off the x destroys my 7 plus with screen quality
true tone is bound to look different on a OLED display compared to LCD. Which is why I turned it off on my x.

Samsung phones don't come with bloatware? haha
think I've heard it all now. Bloatware has been the thing people moan about with Samsung for years
I found the review a bit lacking. I would like to see tests on screen uniformity, both color and brightness, panel variation, say between 3-5 different retail units since Apple is known for being inconsistent, PWM behavior and frequency throughout the entire brightness range, tests for ghosting, blur and other artifacts etc. These are things I look for in monitor reviews, so I’d love to see that in a smartphone panel review as well.
Samsung wins: oh ya this guy got a PHD and super reliable, best source in the world
Apple wins: PAYCHECKS FROM APPLE ARE OBVIOUS
kinda sucks when your favoritest source that you liked to use all the time suddenly goes against your agenda, doesn't it? Sorry champ, maybe next year
you're the perfect samsung customer. programmed to love 'torch mode'
Never have owned a samsung, but if I could get imessage and facetime on one I'd get it. They are winning the hardware wars for sure.
But but but you told us to wait for the displaymate review. Hmmmm.

Well they manufactured it. Apple designed and calibrated it. I'd actually be a little pissed if I were Samsung. They allowed Apple to come in and produce a display better than their own offerings. Either way though, Samsung gets a cut so I am sure they aren't too upset about it. I am just happy to see the X OLED as the best out there.
And that plainly ridiculous statement that the iPhone X uses a s6 generation OLED display.
So you didn't read the article?
They specifically mentioned that it was apples part that pushed the display over the edge Samsung just manufactured it.
I’m not sure why so many were banking on Apple buying some off the shelf panel that is 3 years old.
Can we finally put that myth to rest.
