Is it just me or does the iPhone 6 screen have a washed out look!

Turn the brightness up!
I'm not saying her phone is brighter, I'm saying it's got a higher color saturation. Her screen's colors have a richer color than mine do.
Perhaps something is wrong with your phone. You might want to take your phone to an Apple store and compare it side by side with one of their display units.
The iPhone 6 screen is anything but washed out. It has full 100% (or slightly over) Rec.709 color support. In plain English this means that the iPhone 6 is perfectly calibrated to the current HDTV color standard. In fact, there are many HDTVs that can't accurately show 100% of this color gamut.
For now, this is probably one of the best LCD displays on the market.

You must have a bad 6. My 6 looks better than any previous generation. The blacks are definitely better, and the colors looks much more saturated. Without a case, the screen looks absolutely wet/gooey. I'm not saying it's the best mobile phone screen, but it's definitely the best iPhone screen.
I agree that something must be wrong with the 6 display you are looking at.
Every 6 I have seen has a very bright display with excellent contrast ratio (even slightly superior to the 6+).

You have one of the infamous "yellow" screens.
Its a defect. Happens with every release. It wont get better. Get it replaced.
I agree completely.
My iPhone 6 Plus and the iPhone 6 I bought for a family member have stunningly beautiful displays.
Go to the store and compare it side by side with all of the models on display to see if there's a noticeable difference. It might just be you but it might not be.
Agree. If you compare the home screen icons with another phone it does look faded. For example, the bottom of the app store icon should be a deeper shade of blue. Also the settings icon shouldn't appear yellow. LCD screens aren't perfect though. Those who deny there is any issue are fortunate.
Screen is awesome when it's not yellow!
Thanks for your awesome input. You've added nothing of worth to this conversation why even bother saying anything?
Exactly- the iPhone 6 screen is fantastic.
Now the retina iPad mini screen is another story.
Yeah, I never have any issues with Apple's genius bar. They actually gave me a whole new device & box, etc. - not just a exchanged device.
