When increasing brightness from 30 to roughly 50% (the control does not show percentage #s), the issue on mine pretty much disappeared. Will try 40% and others to see where it's minimal but, at least for my needs, I don't think it's going to be an issue as it's only visible at a certain angle and at certain brightness, though in a venue where one needs only 20% brightness it could easily be bothersome. But it seems like this might just be an OLED thing, like how old TN panels had massive hue shift problems from angles and I'll take OLED's nitpicks over TN's any day.
From a manual search, it looks like OLED technology can emit this as a normal artifact and may not be of concern, quality control notwithstanding. And yet, if the same model screen can be more pronounced at the same brightness settings for some more than others...
Another possible cause might be the anti-reflective coating on the screen OOTB being the culprit, and adding a privacy or clear screen protector with its own antireflective properties likely won't counter that either. (Side note, apparently, LG has better control over PWM, which might mean that more LGs will be in the new phones.)
I then asked an AI engine about this, so here's what it told me and I'm not making this up:
A pink or green tint on an OLED screen is often a normal characteristic of the panel, especially at low brightness, or it can be a sign of a bad panel. Solutions range from adjusting software settings like color modes and brightness to exchanging the device if it's a severe panel defect.
For a mild tint that you want to minimize:

For a mild tint that you want to minimize:
- Adjust screen settings:
- Brightness: Lowering the brightness can make the tint less noticeable, as it's often more apparent at low levels.
- Color Mode: Change the screen color mode in settings to "Vivid" or "Natural" to balance the colors.
- Night Light/Warmth: Turning on a night mode or increasing the warmth setting can counteract the green or pink tint.
- Update software:
Ensure your device's operating system is up to date, as manufacturers often release software updates to address these issues.
- Exchange the device:
If the tint is severe or appears on a new device, it could be a panel defect. Contact the manufacturer or seller to see if you can exchange it for a new one. - Contact support:
If you are unable to exchange the device, reach out to customer support for assistance. - Watch from a different angle:
If the tint appears to shift with your viewing angle, it's likely a characteristic of the panel. Try adjusting your viewing position to find an angle where the tint is less noticeable.
