Can I use some app like dead pixel from store to test this ?

For the moment I'm annoyed by the blue tint on white at more than 5 degree watching angle. It's my first amoled phone and I'm not sure if it's normal or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
yea get a screen test app
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jairus24:
I've been to 2 unit replacement before I finally got an acceptable screen uniformity. Not perfect and still have a very small tint but it's very unnoticeable unless you really look for it closely on a white/grey background.

Where did you buy your's? i'm getting mine from globe next week
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jairus24:
I got mine from Smart Communications, be careful when checking the unit, bring a flash drive that contains a white and a grey background and use the OTG adapter that came with the box, my cousin got a unit from Globe Telecom with "ghost touching" issue on the recent app key and very noticeable pink tint across the bottom half of the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] lvinwithandroid:
Oh God mine is going to be delivered. There's a one week replacement though at any globe store

Is the blue tint on white normal at more than 5 degrees angle watching normal for this phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] skip501:
Awesome site...been a member for a while, but this is my first post. Hope I don't screw it up.

I had a similar issue as other have reported with a pink tint at just a very slight angle (GS7 flat). In fact, I could see it straight-on most of the time too. It was really bad. I took it back to my carrier, Rogers, this morning. They exchanged it with no push back (I was well within the 15 day return period). Anyhow, I looked at several models on display and noticed that the silver ones did not have the pink tint. So, wonder if this problem is somehow more prevalent with the black model? I walked out with a silver model with a perfect looking screen. I am really pleased. It's a great device.

Just sharing my experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
the worst part besides this is the like phantom lines in the background that show up when scrolling. anyone else notice this? it's bad on gray and white backgrounds.. your eye catches these like lines in the background that are static while things scroll... but when you stop scrolling and look you can't see them. it's terrible. my note 4 had it but not nearly as bad as this.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dannejanne:
Getting a perfect screen is next to impossible. Very little chance anyway. There are many different ways a display can be uneven. From dark to light, from blueish to redish. And it can be noticeable on either only white colors or dark colors or both. Getting none of these issues have a very small chance because of how they create the displays. Best to hope is you get an acceptable one. I've very rarely seen a totally perfectly uniform screen in all situations, LCD or Amoled.

My first S7 Edge was not really OK. My second is. Though minor issues but nothing that hits my eye if I don't look for it.

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

I had this on my first unit at the bottom where the screen was brighter. Not the second I have now it's fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KoRoZIV:
This is how the red looks on my s7.

In the box now, tomorrow gets back to the seller. Hopefully the replacement will be better.

I wonder how all the phones reviewed by various online are having perfect displays.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dannejanne:
They are being sent perfect examples from the manufacturer.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KoRoZIV:
I want that perfect sample, after all that is what I paid for, that was advertised.

Other than the screen the phone is very good. How the he'll did I missed that orange the first day ?!? I always test a new phone for dead pixels. Investigating that blue tint on white made me put the g4 next to the s7 and it hit me...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dannejanne:
Is it orange from straight angle too?

I looked at 8 different S7 today. Edge and flat. 1 had what I would consider a perfect screen though dark colors are hard to see in the store light.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KoRoZIV:
Yes it's orange when looking perpendicular to the screen.

The Photo is at angle because at straight angle the nexus 5 camera fails and both look either red or orange, I wanted to show the diference.

Here I tried to capture the blue tint on white.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Rckrz6:
I've learned to accept minor issues cause the replacement is usually worse but some of your pictures look like crap
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KoRoZIV:
I got the replacement. Same orange instead of red, maybe a little stronger. The blue tint on white is still there, but not so obvious and appears at a bigger angle. Or my eyes are just to tired of this crap.

*#0*#

In dialer and test yourself, no need for an app.

If I have the same great battery life and strong reception for gsm and wi-fi maybe I'll keep this one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] rishab_s:
I got the same issue, should I get it replaced ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KoRoZIV:
If the image in pictures and movies is acceptable don't bother. Try to compare same images on other phones, or with your TV or PC monitor. Take a photo of something red and see it on more devices. You decide if you can live with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Johno_Jan:
Hey Korosiv, my first unit had a very uniform display, but i had to replace it because it

Would get hot with mild usage. I regret it now, becauze the new unit has bad yellow tint near the bottom right and a pinkish tint on the left side of the phone. My res also looks kind of orange, but not as bad as yours. Im gonna replace this one too.

This is very annoying and you would expect things like these dont get thru quality control for a $700 premium phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] StreetkillnHD:
Why are u taking a picture like that, it should be straight on. Ur not looking at ur phone from an angle like that..

Edited: nvm well at angles it makes it seem worse than what it is..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KoRoZIV:
I went to 3 stores today and compared using *#0*#

All are the same, maybe very small differences. I think all are calibrated like that to give a decent red in full light. In dark they look bright orange when choosing red. What it matters is that when I watch a movie or a photo on the phone the colors are close enough to real ones.

If this phone that I have now doesn't have other issue's I'll keep it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] fabiok81:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dannejanne:
If your screen is brighter on the bottom of the screen then make a dark gradient from "bottom only". Then play with transparency till it evens out and also play with the area setting to stretch the gradient correctly.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] JovHok:
Hello guys. New to XDA. Here is s problem I'm facing with my GS7. Please help me out.

When I initially bought the device I did get a good display. But after the 7 days replacement period the home button started not registering the click at the sides. So I went for repair under warranty but Samsung replaced the whole display panel with the home button instead of just the home button. Now that I have is a non-uniform display. I strongly doubt that they will deny my request if I approach them now regarding this issue and tell them to make a display replacement again. I some how managed to take a shot of the display irregularity in a pic. Have look at it below. You can see that display is cool/dark at the top and warm/bright at bottom.

What do you think after seeing the image attached?

The guys who got a replacement already for this specific issue(color non-uniformity), How did you guys present this issue to your dealer/carrier? I think I will sound so silly when I approach them with this issue and explain this issue.. They might even say that they don't notice the issue with the display under the light at that circumstance.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jairus24:
Well in S7, you cannot replace/fix the home button and the capacitive keys without destroying the display panel so they really need to replace that in the process. But the one they put on your device have a really bad uniformity. I don't know if they will fix it though, I only got a replacement before because I'm still under the 14 days replacement warranty that time. Even I had a hard time convincing them to replace my unit.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KoRoZIV:
No image in your post.

In my country, if bought online you have 14 day's return period, you don't even have to state the reason. I did told them my reasons, they just noted what I said and gave me a new one.

After that 14 days, you have to deal with the warranty.

My problem was not uniformity, it was white getting a blue tint at very small viewing angles.

I didn't check the second unit for collor uniformity in particular but nothing is bothering me in normal use.

Edit

I see the image now, it's not OK. Hope they change your screen again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] fabiok81:
Hello guy...Firt of all I can't see any pictures of your display...

To replace my phone I made them see a picture of my display made by another phone (not a screenshot). I keep my old s7 in camera mode in the dark and in that condition I could see the problem well...

So they just saw your problem with just that pic and they gave you replacement without even having a look at the device?

In my case they display was already replaced for another issue(home button) and now I doubt whether they will replace again for this issue. What do you think?

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

I didn't have to convince them, I was in the 14 days. They only checked the imei.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] fabiok81:
I think they will not replace your phone with a new one but the will have to replace all your display
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MarkLI88:
Looks like I got lucky and have a good one, I don't see any problems with grey or red test patterns, screen color is uniform all the way across the screen. Regular S7 from t-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] JovHok:
I kind of lost interest in going for the screen replacement again to Samsung service center for trying to get a perfect screen which has very low probability. Because of doing the factory reset over and over, before repair, after repair(for the sake of getting Google to auto restore apps during initial setup process). Those whole processes of setting up the device, restoring the apps, restoring app datas, reconfiguring the apps one by one, transferring the huge chunk of media files(to internal) gets the device heated up a lot and I notice that battery getting heated up too and I doubt whether this has any adverse affect/permanent damage to battery life(long term) causing it to last shorter when compared to how it was out of the box. Worried about it since I’m planning to use this device for a long time. Should I really worry about it? OR Is there any need of doing factory reset? because if I’m not doing they will be accessing the device at least for conducting H/W Module tests.

PS: Been a iOS user so far and I’ve gone through Apple’s article once regarding battery temperature but I don’t know how it applies to latest devices like Galaxy S7 even though the battery technology hasn’t changed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Craig03d:
sadly I too have this issue. How did you convince them by the way?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] GeekyNitz:
I got my S7 from Globe Telecom just 2 days ago. I noticed that the upper left corner is ever so slightly bluish than the rest of the screen (which is yellowish). It's hardly noticeable though. I can only see it when viewing whites and according to the people I've asked, they can't see it. I must be going insane lol! After reading through this thread I've decided to just keep this. I don't want to go through the hassle of returning it then getting a worse unit. My screen has a yellow tint to it, which is always the case with amoled. Am I the only one who prefers whites to be really white, like almost bluish?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] EarlZ:
Screen lottery is always a factor with amoled and a lot of people cannot see that or in your case just decide to accept it as it is. It is difficult to show it to samsung techs since those guys juat use the screen test mode in most cases but I alwats had my screen issues replaced with another unit. It is diffucult to see this in mall lighting conditions.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] GeekyNitz:
I actually did go after much consideration, however I failed to convince those samsung peeps. They kept telling me that it's just the background. I didn't want to waste any more of my time so I just left. Lol! I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but the unevenness of the screen is no longer there. I tried the amoled fixer app from the playstore, I was skeptical but it kind of worked.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] EarlZ:
Yeah its hard if the uniformity is barely visible but I know they can see it they just act dumb.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] projectpain69:
Also had this issue with my S4, and did went through the warranty process. But unfortunately, the uniformity remains and so I accepted it. Now on my S7, it's still there! after several flagship units, still, they have not perfected it. And here we are sharing the same experience. I wonder if it's worth the time, hassle and effort of returning it again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] EarlZ:
Depends on how easy the process is in your region.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] renton82:
It looks like mine... I owned Galaxy S, S2, S3, S4 and now S7... none of them had a perfect grey screen... I had near perfect screen on my previous HTC One M7, Nexus 5 and Nexus 5X that I am still owner... I am still evaluating if keep this Galaxy S7 or Nexus 5X... Apart for grey uniformity and software update, Galaxy S7 is better in almost everything, but this "issue" and fear of screen burn in, make my choice very hard to do...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ongbac:
Just went through 3 different S7 flat units:

1st had two very noticeable horizontal lines (in portrait mode) which appeared like darker bands on solid grey. Bottom 1/3 screen was darker.

2nd had 1 band right in the middle of the screen but less obvious than the 1st unit. Pretty even color uniformity, no obvious pink tint.

3nd had noticeably darker bottom part of the screen. Pink gradient when showing solid white. Very noticeable. Didn't check further for bands as the pink tint was very bad.

We opened these 3 phones at the same time and I decided to stick with the 2nd one. Not perfect but I guess getting a perfect S7 screen is near impossible (I am very sensitive to screen issues). The second one also got nicer phone vibrations. Other had weird buzzing when vibrating. This one has minimal buzz. Check yours for the vibration if you have weird buzzing when vibration is maxed out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] rioachim:
I found a great image to test the screen for color uniformity. Of course, mine has a horizontal dark line even after changing the screen. Does the S7 edge have the same issues?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] StereoSteo:
I got mine Christmas Eve and never put much thought into it, but mine is actually ridiculous so it must've got worse. I don't think I could've missed this obvious pink banding all across the bottom.

I'd prefer if the whole screen was that colour since it's yellow but I wouldn't mind if it was all one colour AMOLED's always have a warm tint. I've tried screen equalizer but I don't like how it looks on black or how it comes out in screenshots.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] fullbloom:
Mine's uniform but with a slight yellow tint. No app's going to help non-uniform colours, send it back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] StereoSteo:
I bought it second hand in a shop (CeX) but it's perfect apart from that. I have 2 years warranty on it anyway so if it gets worse or starts to bother me I'll return it and get another one off them. I don't mind the tint as I said just non uniform is really annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] renton82:
Here you are mine:

White

Gray

Not so bad, but not perfect at all...

my screen is brighter at the bottom. its very noticeable. like in white almost all colors. not sure if i should get a replacement. cause i might get a worse problem. but i may get a better unit? im confused :crying::crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] TheCarDoctor:
Does it only affect the "black onyx" handsets? I bought black one and noticed a pink tint at the bottom of the screen. Got a replacement for another black one with pink tint on the top. Second handset has been replaced as well for the one with pink tint in the middle. I decided to replace it the last time but the only handset colour they had was "gold platinum". Screen on this one looks brilliant. The only problem i have is a buzzing vibration sound. I don't really want to go for another replacement because with my luck i would get a handset with good vibration but bad screen again.
