I do notice some discoloration near the bottom when I tilt the phone toward me, but when looking straight on, the main issue is that the bottom half of the screen appears slightly warmer than the top. Tilting the phone makes it less noticeable, and turning off True Tone and Night Shift helps a bit too. I might request another express replacement down the road, but I have a feeling they’d probably send me another unit from the same batch as before.
This is my third and final Pro Max, and it has a GVC display. I had to replace the first two due to color and storage size. I am already past the 14 day return window and not chasing a particular serial range just because some people think one panel is better than another.
This is the best display I have seen on any iPhone I have owned. The colors are accurate, the tone is pleasing, and the uniformity looks perfect to me.
I do not notice any green tint at reasonable viewing angles. If I have to push the angle to an unrealistic degree to reveal something, I find it unreasonable to call that a real issue since it is well outside a normal use case. It is genuinely a pleasure to look at this display. Photos do not even come close to showing how good it looks.
As a note, please excuse the environment in the photos. Also FYI True Tone and auto brightness were active, since that reflects my normal use.

I guess you all read the verdict of the gsmarena review regarding the screen brightness test :
m.gsmarena.com
Cons
- No dedicated telephoto camera.
- Gets hot and throttles under sustained load; no vapor-chamber cooling.
- USB-C still limited to USB 2.0 data speeds.
- Display's peak brightness boost is very short-lived; sustained auto brightness ~1,000 nits, below iPhone 16, let alone class leaders.
Apple iPhone 17 review
The base Apple iPhone 17, which now comes with 256 GB of storage and 8 GB of RAM, costs USD 799/EUR 949/GBP 799/INR 82,900/CNY 5,999/JPY 129,800. That's...
It is fine. It is just that a G9N, your last photo, the whole screen will still remains clear of green tint.
Samsung tuned their screen for more contrast and overcompensates Red and Blue here https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-pro-17-pro-max-and-air.2466900/post-34218828
On iPhone: Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Turn on Assistive Touch.
Just below that turn on Customise Top Level Menu and press + and search for Analytics.
Go back to Home Screen and use the Assistive Touch and press Analytics. This will generate a report that will be stored under Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements > Analytics Data > search for sysdiagnose. It may take a few minutes to generate so you will need to keep checking. It should be the only sysdiagnose file with the current date in the file name.
Clic into it and Save to Files.
Go to Files and extract it
Open the folder called ioreg and the txt file called IODeviceTree.txt
Search for raw-panel
Thank you! It says this:

How do I read this? G9P?
I hate to be the bearer of bad news... But the green/blue tint in the bottom 1/4 was the very first thing I noticed in these photos. Including the ones not at an angle. Which would personally drive me absolutely ****ing INSANE.
But if YOU are happy with it, and it doesn't bother you in real world usage, then that's all that matters!

No worries at all. I do not consider anything about my display bad news because I simply do not see a problem on my side.
I have come to realization that this topic is very subjective and strongly tied to expectations. As an example; I am the type of person who have preferred accurate calibration for my main TVs for years now rather than the factory tuned profiles that push saturation and artificially boosted colors. I know many people (also can be seen in this thread) enjoy that look and manufacturers tune to match those preferences. Perception and preference vary from person to person, so the optimal result is always subjective.
For my taste this screen performs extremely well and I am very satisfied with it in all real world use.

I see blue/green tint at the bottom and some rainbow effect on the top right hand corner.
