The South Korean made devices have been flawless. The devices made elsewhere can be hit or miss like one of my Galaxy Tab S2 that had a few specs of dust under screen but replacement was flawless. My personal policy is if I notice it then it goes back.
Mine was made in Korea and has a screen with a pink border in Adaptive mode and iridescent sort of blotchy hue for the entire screen in the other modes. I feel like I'm in the land of butterflies and unicorns. I could ignore the pink frame, and indeed am trying to ignore it but on the lower right corner it's too wide and intrudes onto the viewing area too much. And I do believe it is spreading somehow, as the whole center of the viewing area today is now an off color. And it was not yesterday morning. I do wish this issue could be photographed so I could track it more accurately to determine if it has spread.
I don't think it's a malfunction within the pixels themselves but I'm suspecting, since the phenomenon looks and acts like a function of light reflection and refraction within the glass, that there is some underlying issue with how the display is laminated or attached to all of its underlying parts.
Because this pink hue is also present along the extreme edges of my S7 Edge. And I remember a tiny bit of iridescent tint on the extreme edges of my Note 7s. I've never seen such a thing on a flat AMOLED display. That's why I think it's a matter of how light is playing around inside the display. And why I think adjusting hue sliders isn't fixing it, just sort of masking it.
In the words of my people "I expect the danged thing ain't wrapped too tight".

I am guessing. Just to be clear on that point.
At some point I will have to make time to view JerryRig Everything's tear down. But not today...got a school event followed by a birthday party to prep for.
I would happily exchange but I know I could get worse at this point. I also don't want to give up my preorder goodies. My particular phone is doing quite well in most other respects so far. I am unable to thoroughly test it but if I uncover something else, it will go back. However, looking at complaints on Samsung's website, I could be in for a 3 or 4 hour wait on the phone, only to be hung up on.
Lesson learned...buy through my local AT&T store or Best Buy.

I have the pink hue around the edges. If I look at it straight I don't see any pink over the screen but if I tilt it in an angle I can see some pink like a rainbow effect. It does not bother me as it's really negligible. I saw others online mine is no where as bad as those.
I thought about exchanging mine but I don't want to run the risk of getting another bad unit or one that has more issues. From what I've read on Reddit, users have been reporting some issues and I have none of those either such as screen gap from frame, random reboots, crashing and terrible battery life
. Aside from the slight pink tint around the sxreen, the phone is perfect.
You actually have a normal phone I think. As long as the pink is not on the top and bottom edges and your display in the other modes beside Adaptive are not overly pink. It's normal for the Edge displays to have a little bit of color on the edges, from what I've noticed of the past couple of years of looking at ones in stores and more recently, the ones I got last year. Some have a blue tint or aqua, now we are seeing pink.
Just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get worse. If it gets worse I'd wonder if something is going on internally with how the display is held together. I believe refraction should not change if all the parts are properly attached.
