Yea will order a few Z1 online maybe I'll get a good screen.
[Xperia Z1 General] scorpio_K:
Screen updates yes it was fixed but some changes gave yellow tint again.

I guess u have to wait for a minor fix.

Trying on debug mode wait.......

[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
Yeah my screen looks like the right one, even a little better, your case is extreme dude
[Xperia Z1 General] GavTheStoner:
Here's a comparison between the bh90f and cb512 the 512 has jdc screen the other has sharp.

Oddly the jdc is the left one, IRL it has nicer greys/whites and no yellow hue.
[Xperia Z1 General] sg1969:
I had good screen on 534

Became yellow on 257

Did a factory reset, and now fine on 257

Try it, it might work

i just received my xperia z1 today in videos to me the display looked great it must be JDC displays in ever video because my device looks like the picture in the right i have been waiting to receive this phone for a while and now i can say the display does not look any better than my xperia s's i might have to go back to my s4 good thing i still have it i am disappointed with this display
[Xperia Z1 General] aksmzk:
wow, yeah that's what some of yall was referring to with the yellow issue.

Mine def does not look like that.

C6906 bought directly from Sony Store in Canada.
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
So this is the famous yellow hue in the Z1. Now I can said I am lucky one for some aspects, not all.
[Xperia Z1 General] shteren:
you are all seriously out of proportion, first of all, it's almost impossible to tell whether your screen does or don't look like a screen you see through a photo, perhaps your computer screen is yellow!

second it's much easier when you look at it next to another phone.

third, stop the bs, z1 has much better viewing angles than the xz, take one and compare other than that, it is no amoled, can't do **** about it, but when viewed from usable angle (and i mean an angle where you can use your phone, not one that you can see it) the screen is absolutly stunning.

this comes from someone who compares to other friends phone have a tad more yellow screen, perhaps...
[Xperia Z1 General] danw_oz:
In addition to what you said, the white balance in that OP shot, was so wrong into the warm scale that it is going to make everything look ten times worse than reality, although it does still show that there is in fact a difference, would have been good to know that your brightness on both were the same, because I am sure they were not, all shops I went to had the slider on max and the phone shipped doesn't so you would have to consciously have to make that change. Because I can simulate with one phone, just buy using the brightness slider the same as your opening post :p

I have a fully professionally calibrated screen and my phones white standard matches my screen almost perfectly, most people from what I can gather prefer a more cold white, if so +8 green and blue makes my Z1 similar to my Z and more close to the HTC One.
[Xperia Z1 General] benziii:
Both devices needs calibrating.

Maybe there is a different lightsource hitting on the right, but that one to me seems to have too much red in it.

The white balance app is up for grabs.

Someone who has two z1's in close proximity should try testing and see if they can get them to be equal, and if that fails, I'd be more inclined to believe there are that many "faulty screens"
[Xperia Z1 General] mystertom101:
in videos the screen to me looked stunning now i have one it looks exactly like my xperia s the screen on my s4 is a lot better tbh but overall i prefer my z1 much smoother better looking and build
[Xperia Z1 General] shteren:
Ofcourse you do, the z1 is absolutly stunning, s4 is a toy...
[Xperia Z1 General] c312eal:
Okay bought my first z1 from Sony store Canada. The yellow hue was noticeable especially on greys. So I went back and exchanged it and the 2nd display was brilliant. White as snow and I use the lowest brightness setting in the sun. Went to best buy the other day. Saw an Z1 display model. It had no yellow tint so I decided to compare my screen. Both on same brightness setting and the display model wasn't as bright and the screen looked more washed out.

I guess i got lucky. BH902. My first z1 with Yellow tint was also BH902.

Good luck and I hope you guys find a z1 with a nice display.

[Xperia Z1 General] nbell13:
BH901. My screen is perfect.
[Xperia Z1 General] nizarnoor:
Mine is just like the left one. It doesn't matter which firmware it's running, it's all the same. Yellow tinted screen. Very disappointed.
[Xperia Z1 General] mharckk:
i got the left one, but i noticed on your 1st pic. whats the last option there.

Optim. Hintergrundbel? i dont have those, and yours too doesnt have those.

edit: optim. backlight, maybe thats why the right one is clearer and i think thats a lower version, maybe sony remove those option in 4.3
[Xperia Z1 General] jlevy73:
Agree, it's been quite a disappointment to me since I notice in every app I run that has gray. For a high end device, there really is no excuse for this considering my $350USD Nexus 5 has a beautifully calibrated pure white screen.

I have been one of the first people to report on the yellow hue issue. I noticed it in my brand new Z1. At first I have used an app called Screen Adjuster which fixed the problem for me. A few rom flashes later the problem completely disappeared.

Now I am on Android 4.3 and have White Balance installed but I don't even need to use it anymore.

To me it seems like it could be some kind of a software glitch after all.
[Xperia Z1 General] Thraxzzz:
Put my z1 side by side with my g flex, screen is yellowish :/ viewing angles on the g flex is way better, but who looks at their phone at 30 degrees, lol
[Xperia Z1 General] mystertom101:
i used to agree with that argument but having good viewing angles feels good i cant put my z1 on a surface and look at it fine it just looks awful i might have to go back to my s4
[Xperia Z1 General] c312eal:
Shouldn't this thread be part of the display lottery thread?
[Xperia Z1 General] vctrdnl:
Let me tell you my story. So far I have tried three different Z1 (C6903) units, buying them online, and I have returned all three of them. They all suffered from the exact same problem - like the yellowish screen captured on the left. What is more, ALL three of them had one dead or stuck pixel on the display. The serial numbers were BH90D, BH90E and even CB512 (all units were meant for the German market). I really thought I hit the jackpot with the last one but my hopes went astray as soon as I turned the phone on and noticed another faulty screen with a dead black pixel and the notorious yellow tint after updating to .257.

I am pretty certain that all of these phones came with a Sharp panel. I had the opportunity to verify just one of them, in order to know for sure, but the rest looked exactly the same. I am appalled by the quality of those screens and by Sony's quality control as well. Nevertheless, I like the Z1 very much and I continue to look for a unit with a decent screen quality...
[Xperia Z1 General] shteren:
perhaps all screens are the same... white balance mod really improve things, even brightness seems better.........
[Xperia Z1 General] Vanarian:
C6903 BH90F, I thought that I had a bad unit because of very slight yellow and one "Dead screen" issue this morning (only now i got thisphone for abit more than 24 hours). But since I solved the black screen, no problems to date yet. No dead pixels either, and the screen is just gorgeous, it blows my iPhone 5 Retina. Only part where my iPhone might get the upper part is whiter whites haha.

As I said in another thread, this phone amazes me as much as it makes me angry. Yet... it's amazing-self is winning the streak right now. Absolutely love it, and this is why I was so angry when I see pitch black screen after less than 12 hours since unboxing.
[Xperia Z1 General] Vaith:
Hello jader :) Good to see you here! Did you sell your Arc S ?

[MENTION=2176140]topic[/MENTION]

My screen is pure white(on picture : right). I love this phone and I wont sell it so quick as I sold Z :) Before buying you must see screen of Z1. THat the point.
[Xperia Z1 General] Zerousen:
I really hope this is the case. I heard that other people still have the yellow screen after the update, and others actually get a yellow screen when it was fine before. Maybe another factory reset or two could fix it for them, otherwise I'm afraid it may be a hardware issue after all.
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
Why does people says this phone has bad viewing angles?

I can lay my phone flat on a table and look at it an angle and it looks fine and its perfectly readable
[Xperia Z1 General] aksmzk:
what phone you coming from?

Even on my Blackberry Z10 lcd display had much better viewing angle.

but straight on this z1 destroys any other phones i've used in the past.

the colors just POP!!!!

:laugh:
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
I come from the S4, which has the best viewing angles I've owned

Of course the Z1 is not on the same level but viewing angles are pretty much normal on my Z1

Now the Z1 screen is quite a beast when it comes to overall display and colors, there's this poppy kind of fluorescent feel to this screen, awesome is all i can say.
[Xperia Z1 General] mystertom101:
Well my z1 has awful viewing angles it's annoying

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

It's hard coming from s4 I'm not exaggerating when I say viewing angles are no better than previous xperia s

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

Also colors aren't popping I don't know if it is just my device but the display is dull only red is vibrant
[Xperia Z1 General] shteren:
Ok all of you experts out there, guess what type is my screen and wether I have a yellow hue problem:
[Xperia Z1 General] kantk20111:
Here is my screen on the C6093 versus probably the best screen in the business, the iPhone 5S. Serial number BH90K. No idea what type of panel as I haven't rooted the device yet. Tested on 100% brightness for the Z1 and 95% brightness for the 5S to try to make them as close to the same brightness as possible (iPhone has slightly brighter screen).

*very* slight yellow tint on my Z1, however IRL I actually find the Z1 a bit whiter! The iPhone's a bit pinkish. Both are excellent though.

ignoring the white bar on the iPhone, both are pretty similar but I have to give the iPhone the edge here. Slightly darker blacks.

This was supposed to be red but came out orange on my iPhone 4S' camera :P (I'm sure the Z1 wouldn't have any problem making it red!). Both are the same, Z1 is actually a bit more vibrant.

And finally the standard 'rose' test.

Almost exactly the same. Both look beautiful. Z1 has slightly more vibrant colors but is slightly more washed out in the highlights. Overall I would rate them both as one of the best screens with very natural color tones. It also should stop anyone who complains that the screen is bad even head on. It isn't. At least the screen I have isn't.
[Xperia Z1 General] BLEK0TA:
So CB512 with jdc is on left side? R u sure?
[Xperia Z1 General] GavTheStoner:
Absolutely sure, the screen on the right was actually a better than usual yellow one though. Maybe it has something to do with Rom version as the right one is 4.2 and left is 4.3.

The cb512 compares nicely with display model in the shop so I am happy.
[Xperia Z1 General] BLEK0TA:
Cuz i have CB512 and viewing angles are big shame for manufactor. On your photo is by me much better display on right side. On left side cant read upper text but on right side i do.
[Xperia Z1 General] jader13254:
Yes, this is a picture.

I can't show you otherwise, but I think you can see its a pretty huge difference.

BOTH phones are new. Its not about calibration or anything, you would buy it like this.

Didn't sell it my little brother got it.

+ A christmas UHD edition :p:laugh:

White balance is also on my Z1s but I have a different color issues - blue, green, whites are overexposed.
[Xperia Z1 General] gtizon:
Hi. Just got the Z1. Not sure but when switching on/off the X Reality I dont see ang major diff. I do not have the yellow tint issue though. Any of you notice when looking at Instagram or Facebook that pictures look a bit grainy? I came from an S4 and I admit colors are not to be compared since they are completely different level. Z1 looks more real than S4 saturation.
[Xperia Z1 General] :
it s not about display

there s no yellow display anywhere!!!

it s about how they calibrating display.

for example there were lots of issue and discussing about xperia z display too. sharp vs jdc !!!

i had sharp and no problem >> then with white balance it became more awesome.

on xperia z that was about black deep and now on xperia Z1 it s about yellow hue on white colors!

w8 for white balance and don't give f* with these.

don't forget this is Triluminos technology display so all of display are same.

[Xperia Z1 General] DennisDD78:
Here is my story :)

First i bought Z1 in early october, it was the official one for the Russian market. I had no problem with display, i even didn`t pay any attention on it, everything satisfied me totally!

In december i accidentally dropped it out of my hand, and the plastic and aluminium frames got some small damages, so i decided to change the phone. I sold the old one and bought the new, for the Hong Kong market. With the new phone i noticed that the screen have some reddish tint

This was annoying for me too much, so i applied White balance mod, and the screen bacame much better for me but if take a look more strongly, anyway there`s a reddish tint on screen, but generally the image became more closer to natural white and grey

I started reading the threads about the screen, and realize that Sony defifnitely used different types of screen. I remember discussions about screens when i was Xperia Z user, so i found the thread at Z section about how to recognize display manufacturer, so i did it on my new Z1 from HK, and this is what i got

So, my new phone is with Sharp (reddish tint) display, and i don`t like it at all. I don`t know what type of the display was in my first, Russian, Z1, but i didn`t even thought about it, the screen was perfect for me! And i realize now that the screen was more with the greenish tint, but it was so

not noticeable for me that i didn`t even pay any attention on it. And now i`m upset with the new phone and screen, i don`t like to be dependent on White balance mod.

Don`t know what to do :(
[Xperia Z1 General] OCedHrt:
Mine is somewhere in between but it's not the tint that bothers me. Rather, the overexposure on bright colors is what kills it.
