No I had not.
I still haven’t understood, though, what the point is for you to write in this discussion, if you have the right eye to know how a screen should be and you own the best screens on the market.
Is the tinting (yellow, red) only visible from certain angles, or can you also see it when looking at the screen straight on? Consider that in the end most displays can have things like that (tinting), including the much-praised Samsung displays. So, if this yellow tint doesn’t particularly bother you, keep it.
A picture taken with a cell phone is not even going to come close to capturing the exact white balance of a display.
The thing is, in my opinion most displays on the market have some degree of tinting, which can be more or less annoying. That’s why I don’t really see the point in playing the “panel lottery” in the long run. Some people here describe LG displays as terrible and praise Samsung ones. I get that not having color shift is a plus, but if, when looking at the screen straight on, I have to see half of it looking yellowish or reddish… I wouldn’t be too happy about that either.
People care about what their own eyes see, not the technical analyses of those who think to know everything.
On the pro that my friend has is visible from every angle. But online 17 pro max and my wife’s only on certain brightness level at 50% or so and with tru tone on. If is of is very difficult to see it at any brightness level. I am afraid going to exchange it consider that 3 iPhones and all of them has some level of uniformity issues.i just read that G9N is one of the superior display that Samsung makes and it am afraid how bad the other displays maybe are.
We've already established in this thread that there are no perfect displays, or rather, that they're all different. So it's simply a matter of finding one that YOU like!
Definitely return it if the display doesn't look uniform when looking directly at it! Keep it if the color shifts only appear when tilting it; that's relatively normal for OLED displays.
Someone just made up the idea that Samsung's G9N displays are the best. There are no reliable sources or evidence to support this claim. On the contrary, this thread refutes that theory.
I totally agree. I am starting to believe that the problem maybe is with the os and the way True Tone works on newer iPhones. If a screen has a bad uniformity or light bleed it would be noticed on any circumstances. But in my case at least the problem with the yellow tint is not there on night shift or without True Tone. Only when True Tone is on. The same with my wife’s iPhone. On the other hand the third iPhone that I saw with the pink tint on the bottom of the screen told me the opposite. Lastly I am the only who noticed this on my iPhone and that because my OCD kicked in the moment I read about screen lottery and I looked to find the problem. Other people didn’t saw it and after I told them where to look. In my case three iPhones, all of them with some issue with the screen plus all of other cases on Reddit and here talking about screen lottery this year. I do not want to loose my time with a phone that in a year or two will be “old” and try all this time to find the excellent one. I know there isn’t . It’s just the f*** why that happened on a 1500€ phone….
For example, on my 'shi*ty' LG screen i can use true tone without problem. And yes, if you have OCD read that 'screen can have problems' or 'that exist better screens than others' don't help at all. In 9 months iPhone 18 will be release so i don't think is a good idea to waste you time finding a 'perfect display'. In my many years of experience, I’ve realized that a lot of technological devices are far from perfect. They’re made in factories, and each piece can end up being a story of its own.
Yes, most people don't even notice it. And even if you telll them, not everyone does. That's why so few people complain.
You don't have a ****** (LG) display! At least not based on your description. You probably have a very good (LG) display. But you're obviously chasing a phantom, or you think Samsung displays are better in general?
The same problem will be back next year with the iPhone 18. ;-)
I believe that, at a certain point, it also becomes a psychological issue. We are already people who notice flaws (like OCD), and if we go to places where others make ‘catastrophic’ comments about it, the frustration grows even more, feeding your OCD. They might start saying things like, ‘Your screen is terrible; if I were you, I’d have already replaced it.’ They convince you that there are screens vastly better than yours (when that’s only partly true, because each single unit is a story of its own), and you get caught in a spiral of thoughts that leads nowhere positive. You end up unable to enjoy your purchase.
I was being ironic. You know better than I do that there are people online who are convinced LG screens are terrible. Are Samsung ones better? Possibly, but only if they’re free of defects—which, judging by what you read online, is far from guaranteed. Since every single display is a story of its own, at some point it’s better to just settle for the least bad option. If someone happens to get a perfect Samsung display, good for them—but it’s like finding Willy Wonka’s golden ticket.
Ok, you didn't trade as often as I did. And you don't have an Apple Store nearby, right? I do. And indeed I'm starting to doubt that these supposedly „perfect displays“ even exist (which were partly posted here). Photos distort reality, I've said that several times. And I have never seen such a display (as posted above) live!
