It's a beautiful IPS display. The colors are vivid and not over-saturated.

I really feel the saturation is quite lacking. The colors seem to punch where they are needed with certain UI elements but then lacking elsewhere such as flesh tones in videos. Fortunately there is an easy fix for this and it is to incorporate the screen color mod into a kernel. Unfortunately there really is no active kernel development for the G5. I guess we will just have to wait and hope things pick up.

Colors are decent but yeah, a bit undersaturated, almost blue-ish in some cases. I was surprised to see there is no display color adjustment...it's a real pity because camera(s) takes such beautiful pics, but you really appreciate them when you watch them on a calibrated display!

very under saturated

Now that my tempered glass protector broke, I can judge the naked screen again. I think it's just "fine." I feel like it needs a bit more saturation like what the users said above. Still love my phone though <3

I think it's very close. Apple Iphones are nasty and look artificial to me.
My buddies HTC M9 is very similar too.
It's all on the coding too, some video encoders mess with coloring. Youtube is horrible

+1 with the Screen color Adjustment, this could adjust the saturation a bit though making it look a bit darker but more detailed.
Outcome photos won't change though. :silly:

I feel like the color quality went down after a few months, I'm thinking did the lens "degrade?"

Although this is a very old thread, I have noticed that my recent A2017G from Amazon.es has a very high minimum screen brightness. It is in fact binding when checking emails with the stock email app (with its white background) in a dark room.
Do others have the same thing?
My LG g4 can go way darker.

Mine too. Lo compré en Amazon también...
I use CF.lumen in combination with Pixel Filter for nighttime reading. This makes the display as dim as I want, and thanks to the AMOLED screen, it actually emits less light as you go dimmer, while the same Apps on an LCD screen will just put more blankets over the backlight that's still blasting right in your face.
Since you can achieve pitch black with CF.lumen alone, Pixel Filter might not be needed. I just use it to save some extra juice by shutting off half of the display entirely.
It would be nice if the regular brightness slider would go a bit dimmer, but the scheduling options of CF.lumen make it very bearable

I enabled sRGB mode from developer options, nice amount of punch without being overblown.
The white balance is still off. Very annoying, to say the least. Samsung seems to have nailed this on their flagships. Otherwise, I love the saturated colours of amoled. Will never go back.

make sure to switch to sRGB in Settings > Display > Colour gamut and contrast. at first the colours will probably looked a bit washed out to you, but once you get used to it, you'll notice how horribly gaudy and oversaturated other phones' displays look!
Let's just say... I've never fell in love with a screen before.
Hi , i had unlocked and rooted my device and for saturation i use Color Changer Pro to increase it because I cant see to saturation with my eye hahahaha use it I love it
sorry for my bad english

Excellent color display. I use the Vibrant setting, and only need half brightness at the most, and this screen pops with color depth. As far as accuracy goes for me I enjoy rich deep colors, and even if it may not be 100% accurate, I still love it. It rivals much more expensive screens in my opinion.

Contrast (true blacks)

I am seeing green hues when tilting - do you know If this is a known issue?
Amoled screen calibration would not be exactly same for all, as far as i know.. my display is punchy, and blacks are not so deep as samsung flagships, i compared mine yesterday at relaince digital
if seen vertically blacks are deep, but if seen top straight to eye, i can see that its not deep.

Agreed! I wish they included some kind of setting to tune it to our liking. But i guess that's not gonna happen.
But the screen is good, despite being just a 720p panel.

So you have warmer display too ? I was going to visit service centre for a replacement
Well, my display is on the cooler side.
There is a slight green hue when tilted, blacks are really black no matter the angle, and the saturation is pretty decent, not excessive.
I honestly like this panel, I think it's very well calibrated and it has a balanced color overall.

Display over saturated
Please add the cool mode display settings. Now the display is over saturated and it is hurting my eyes.
