"Yellow" screen has much better viewing angles and colors

Just picked up an AT&T one x and I've owned an international one x for about a month. Immediately I noticed the colors were warmer/more yellow on the AT&T one x. Side by side, it almost makes the international one x screen look like super amoled on the whites (way too blue).
I put them at the same brightness, and the AT&T one x has noticeably better viewing angles. WAY better in fact. Also, looking at pictures I took with each phone, the AT&T one x has way more accurate/true to life colors.
Overall the warmer screen is far superior, which makes me wonder why so many people on this forum were worried that they have the yellow screen. Fact is, it's not really yellow, it's just that the other screen is WAY too cool/blue and not accurate at all as far as colors go.

Most people are used to cool (blue) colors on their screens - that's what most LCDs look like until you use a color profile. It's even worse on laptops.
I love my "warm" HOX screen, I'm unhappy just because it has a few yellow spots that don't seem to go away...

I agree and don't know if anyone noticed, the yellow screen has a cleaner pixel grid, you can't see the grid if you look close unlike the colder one
still both r still very impressive so no worries

Does the yellow go away? I've read elsewhere this is the case

I have the colder screen and never had any problem with viewing angles
My only complaint is that some yellows are going green
Though the solution is the app called ''screen adjuster'', just boost +5/+7 on red

bro, do you very faint glue "grain" effect when viewing pure white at an angle?

Nope!

Screen adjuster is excellent. I added + 6 to blue levels just to tone down the warmth, now the screen is perfect.
It's not too cool that whites have a blue look but not yellow either.

Anyway to check if mine is the warmer one or cooler one??

Screen yellowish

Hello,
I have a HTC One X, and I realized recently that my screen (the entire screen) was yellowish. I compare it with the X One of my friends, their screens is white (so white that looks like being blue).
Why do my colors are, overall, yellow rather than white?
I've done the updates, I have the original theme, and brightness at maximum.
Do you have the same problem as me?
Should I bring him back in the store?

I suggest you have it replaced immediately.
The original unit that was given to me had that yellowish tint, I think its a screen burn? or a factory defect.
Had the shop replaced it immediately.

Your screen should not be yellow. It definitely looks like the yellow spot issue but in my experience they do not go away. definitely get it replaced or send it to HTC for repair if they can't replace it.

Is it yellowish/yellow spots or just a little warm in tone?
If it's the latter then you have the better of the 2 screens available as colours are more accurate and the screen is brighter. As you say, your friends phone is too blue.
It can be deceiving as the clock widget for instance is not a true white so can through you off.
Best way to evaluate is display a true white blank image and you should see that it looks white and not blue (cold) or yellow (warm). I use Dead Pixel Tester which has a variety of colours you can display

i own a yellowish and a whiteish one , and surprise surprise.... the yellowish is a lot better than the other

Mine is also very yellowish, compared to my wife's sensation or to an amoled display. The colors look very ok to until i compare side by side..
I do not think it is a defect...

Guys! Don't forget to set brightness to same level when comparing. I noticed my white screen actually looks more yellowish than the warmer screen when on lowest brightness settings. However, at a higher brightness it definitely has a whiter white and it seems brighter.

I got the yellow-dot-issue yesterday :'( I have had the phone since release day and now blah, damn it! will contact HTC tonight and tell you what they say

This is not a defect. HTC One X screens are manufactured by several sources. Some come with a blueish/whiteish tint, others with a yellowish tint. I have had both units. I prefer the blueish/whiteish tint, but both screens are very good.

I also have the Yellowish Screen, I solved this problem long ago when I had my SGS2 as the Super Amoled Plus had a greenish tent with Screen Adjuster, A great app from the market, Just increase the blue to 7 or 9 and all the yellowish tent will disappear.

It's been that way since the Sensation. One display is made by Acer (cool) and the other by Sharp (warm). The XL uses Sony displays exclusively for some reason.
Here's the two different displays on the Sensation...

Yup don't worry too much. Not a problem. Even iPhone 4S'es screens are manufactured by different suppliers. My screen is the cooler one, but both have their advantages. My dad's iPhone 4S has the warmer screen, but colours look more vibrant. My One X has the cool screen, which is less vibrant in terms of colour, but more accurate.

I had a yellow bit at top of my screen, and took back to tesco as my contract was only. 11 days old.

To match the colours, it's really upto you how you think of it. I actually have the blue and i find it quite hard to find a perfect match with most lite colours cases, with blue it mostly grey, black, silver, brown, blue and similar dark colours, whiles the white S3 can match with many lite and dark colours.
I'll be getting a white S3 soon, so i'll have two.
already have about 9 cases, mostly dark and transparent colours.

As the person above stated, a white S3 will basically go with anything while certain colors look good for the blue. Don't let that be a deciding factor though since there are a lot of good looking cases that match the blue s3. I roll with a blue s3 cause it looks good.

What I do notice is that 99% of all accesoires are displayed with the white version. I have the blue one and sometimes it is hard to think if it matches the case. Nonetheless the blue color is very nice.

yeh, all adverts, photo's and reviews all use the white unit.

Simple, as stated above, white goes with everything, blue doesn't. I've had blue phones in the past and won't do it again. Regardless, the blue is still a good looking phone.
Currently not being productive.

If you are talking about yellowish tint of white colors, yes its a screen defect that samsung cant get rid of.
I also have that yellow tint as well as many people. You arent the only one. There are some people replaced their phones but no luck still there. It has something to do with amoled production.
Also you will realize that if yiu tilt the phone slightly and look at the screen from angles the whites and gray colors will look normal without tint. This obviously shows its a production thing.
There are other threads with same problem as yours that you can read. Just search...

It's a problem with amoled screens unfortunately. All of them have it unless a kernel is used to adjust the screen.

Have you tried disabling "Auto adjust screen tone" in the display options?

It has nothing to do with that....

It's normal man. LCDs have awful "grey" blacks, with brilliant whites. Samoleds have deep, rich blacks, and tinted whites.

did you notice that the WHITE calibration is "too much" warm?

i can clearly see that the white of this phone is much much more warm and yellowish respecting others phones with lcf, but also a galaxy note 4 ( amoled) of one of my friends.
i can't understand why lenovo made this calibration. Of course maybe using it as primary phone you will not notice it after some days, but at the moment it is my secondary phone and every time i switch from lcd to p2's amoled i can clearly see that the white ruins all the colors....into an image.
ps: maybe OVER 50% of brightness the white starts to be "ok..." but under 50... 40% it is not a nice white

but does it interfere with the PURE BLACK? i noticed that there are apps that can "fix" the temperature of the color by adding a LAYER on the screen....
but this layer corrupts the true black.... no more really black but with a tint of blue or yellow ( blue if you try to make colder, yellof if warmer)
i hope you made a real test about it, use the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester and visualize the BLACK color.
if it is not 100% off the display..... the live display option of your rom is not acceptable

Nup,,black are true blacks(pure black pixels get off),,almoled display does not have pure white they are warm(yellowish)i had set it to cool color (blue)which makes the screen look little white than yellow,,i will compare display with samsung device and check,,buh black are still pure black no yellowish or white tint on black
Sorry for bad English
Sent from my Lenovo P2 using XDA Labs

but did u test? because some tricks to change the temperature of the displays.... are to add a "layer" of color.... and this makes NO MORE TRUE BLACKS on amoled diplays....

Yes,there is noticable difference in white the stock ROM now looks a little yellow but the stock deodexed version has the cool white colour which looks far more beeter that yellowish tint
I have not so idea for the reason behind that may be Lenovo has recalibrated the screen if you want to change the tint you can try various apps that requires root to calibrate screen Colors manually

i found the problem !!!
go in the live display and at the colour calibration menu.
JUST set the green color to 92% and the white will be PERFECT
i noticed tha tis ONLY THE GREEN that destroys the white.... just lowering it to 95 gives a normal warmish white... setting to 90 it is like a normal lcd cold white ... at 92 it is perfect between a warm and cold yellow, the perfect sweet spot.
now i am FINALLY HAPPY with my screen.... and the white written on all the app themed with black substratum, are finally well constrasted with the black..... being pure white
