This screen is Samsungs M12 screen, their newest generation. To my eyes it’s a pretty significant improvement. Not only brighter but the white balance is almost perfect. Everything appears sharper and there’s no color shift. The greys are especially impressive, extremely uniform with no shifting of any kind.
This was the same observation between the Samsung fold 3 and 4. (M11 vs M12)

My 14 pm has an uneven panel. A bit more red to the right side, the screen as a whole is more red than my previous 13 pm. Turned True Tone off etc, it just has a color shift to the right side, especially at lower brightness. Not sure how I could exchange it at this point, no inventory. It’s a 128, I’m regretting to the lower storage anyways, so when a 256 comes up I’ll take that.
I think it's a subjective judgement whether you find a given display flawed. At the very least they are flawed in that there's substantial variation between actual displays of the same model.
If people’s subjective perception varies greatly, I don’t think we can conclusively say the screens vary wildly from the calibrated standard they are praised for. Unless I’m missing the reason the calibration test sites don’t mention high variance across iPhones that forum users report.
I’m personally observing a significant variance between screens of the same iPhone model. It’s become a routine for me when upgrading to order two or three iPhones of the same model from different retailers to pick the one with the screen I find most acceptable. All of those screens, when measured, are in the ballpark of the spec (color balance, whitepoint). But within that ballpark, and subjectively, they still vary significantly. That fact, by itself, can be seen as a flaw. For me personally, it’s about picking the least flawed display. I haven’t seen a display yet that I would call “perfect”.
My 14PM screen is uniform but has more of a red tint to it than my 13PM. I’m sure I’ll get used to it once I stop comparing and just use it!
Yeah just going by the pic, it actually looks a little worse than mine. Here’s another one I took with the brightness at 100% with night shift on and off. I’m going to Disney this week so I’m going to decide.

This is exactly what mine looks like, only I describe it as more red on the right side… but yeah other way around, yellow on left works too lol it’s the fact that it is uneven that annoys me.
I wouldn’t worry about that at all, most people can’t see it, apple even defines it as a customer sensory issue, as in you’re the issue, not the phone lol If that’s your only concern, and it doesn’t personally bother you, you’re good, and you’ll be good when trading in or selling.
is the red tint something you see on the grey in dark mode in settings app (the horizontal cells that outline the setting options), out of curiosity?
that would be difficult for me to unsee.
I wonder if regular Pro is more of a lotto than Pro max this time (or in general)
Yeah! It drives me crazy… in light mode became obvious… so I need to turn on dark mode to tolerate it…
Last OLED panel this good I’ve experienced was from a Note 10 +. Even the S22 U had slight green tint low half of screen lolz
It doesn’t show up on max bright, it’s lower/lowest brightness where it is an annoyance, and agreed, it gets bright!
I won’t be tolerating it forever, when some inventory comes in, it’s an exchange. I’ve compared to 8 pro max’s (display models and friends) they were all about the same and mine (ours) is the outlier.
I do see it in the cells in the settings app in dark mode, noticed the other day actually. But light mode is where it’s most annoying.
