yellow lcd theory

Can you post pics of this if you do decide to investigate further?

 

The 3G had yellow screens as well, it's just amplified on the 3GS apparently.

 

with all the people talking about the "yellow screen" I have not seen one and am kind of curious. Does the yellow show up on a screenshot? would be interesting to see

 

Is that yellow screen will be shown over time?

 

The yellowing is to do with hardware, not software, so it wouldnt show up in a screenshot.

I was comparing my 2nd gen iPod touch to my 3GS yesterday, and I much prefer the screen on the 3GS. I wouldnt call my screen "yellow", but it just looks a lot warmer and nicer. In comparison, the screen on my 2nd gen touch is definitely yellow compared to my old 1st gen touch (now my dad's)... but the 1st gen's screen looks like absolute crud compared to either of the newer devices.

Generally from what I've both seen, heard and experienced, it'll stay as "yellow" as it is when you first buy the unit, it's not something that worsens.

I know it's not a 3GS, but I'll try and take pics comparing my 1st and 2nd gen touch soon as an example.

EDIT:

Here you go guys, from Google Image Search. The phone on the left clearly has the yellow screen.

 

left?

 

I tried standing on my head but it still looks yellow on the right??????????

 

I'm pretty sure he means right.

 

Quite apart from the left screen in this pic being bluer, this sort of thing is meaningless because the appearance of the screens in the photo depends heavily on how the camera has set its white balance.

 

For what it is worth...

I compared my 3G with a 3GS.

The 3G was noticeably more yellow
The 3GS was bluer (personally I prefer the blue)
