I’ve noticed the same thing over the years: when I’ve compared my current iPhone with the demo units in store and with the display settings the same, mine always looks much brighter and better. Maybe because the demos are attached to wireless charging and heating up, the software dims the screen a bit, idk 🤷♂️, but my iPhone display always looks brighter than the demos.
There might be the occasional GVC that isn’t perfectly uniform, but the vast majority of users who own one (myself included) have reported very good panel uniformity and no tint or hue issues when viewed head-on.
I honestly don’t understand your constant posts here pushing this weird agenda. It all sounds like you’re looking for some type of validation here, which is weird. You’re either happy and satisfied with something or you’re not. Some randos on the Internet wouldn’t change that.
True! I was just hoping for some real-world examples, not pure philosophy 😄
No weird agenda, quite the opposite. I’m just pointing out what I see in this thread: more and more users are reporting uniformity issues with their Samsung panels.
They’ll have to take it from your cold dead hands without tilting the phone, lol.
I have a Base 17 with a G9P panel. This is a replacement Base 17 from Verizon (original panel unknown). My first one had a pink-ish hue towards the bottom 1/3rd of the display. I called them right away and they overnighted this replacement free of charge and no restocking fee.
Yes I agree. I didn’t know this about Samsung panels but I do now and I have experienced it first hand twice. Obviously because I have had 2 GVCs and both have been fine I like them. I don’t care that if I point my phone at the floor I see blue tint. What matters to me is I look at my screen at a normal angle at it looks perfect. I don’t mind if it warm or cool so long as the whole thing is uniform that’s literally all I ask. However after deep research it appears whatever than panel it’s a lottery so really it doesn’t matter what panel you get.
Yea I think nearly all iPhones have some kinda quirk at this point. It whether it’s an issue to yourself and if you notice. It’s got to the point I would rather have an lcd
That doesn’t look bad at all. My G9Q is pretty similar when it is like that. If you look hard enough if my be slightly different at the top and in 95% grey test you can see it slightly as well. However turn True Tone & night shift on its whole different ball game the top of the screen is the nice warm orange hue that it gives. Bottom is almost normal. Was going to exchange but I could be doing this 10 times
So yeah, it seems like my G9Q panel is tolerable — not perfect, but definitely not bad either.
I could play the panel lottery — maybe I’d get a slightly better one right away, or maybe I’d end up with something worse.
No real point in chasing a G9N, since it looks like those have the same issues anyway.
Also, neither my wife nor my sister could see any problems on my screen at all, which probably means there’s nothing truly noticeable or critical going on.
By the way, the photo was taken with a professional camera and properly calibrated settings, so it accurately shows how the screen actually looks in real life.
