lcd screen yellowing pricelist

I tried to mess around with the manual brightness as you mentioned. And I agree with you. To that it further, the screen shows a more true representation of what you see and what you get the lower you set the brightness. Somehow the yellow of the screen increases more than the other colors the more juice the screen gets.

I find this an annoyance though, but not a deal breaker. Though i would love the have the screen work better in terms of color it is still doable because you can check the color fidelity better through the EVF. So though I compose with the rear screen, if I want to check for color use the EVF.

The above-mentioned optical properties are of course the basic requirements of LOCA adhesives. The next challenge is to be certain that these optical qualities will be retained and consistent over time under real-world operating conditions. It is in this regard that b* number becomes a useful tool. The b* number is especially important in its consistency over time as yellowing of screens is considered highly undesirable and indicative of aging or failure in the eyes of consumers.

Many environmental conditions have been shown in the past to lead to a yellowing of LOCA materials over time and a corresponding deterioration in image quality. By measuring the CIELAB coordinates of a given device after initial manufacture, it is then possible to expose the device to harsh conditions and measure any changes in CIELAB numbers.

Each of these tests and all of them combined is designed to simulate years of real-world aging in environments such as in automobiles and appliances. By showing consistency over time under these conditions of the b* value, manufacturers can be confident of resistance to yellowing for LCD displays. In addition, customized testing is not uncommon in cases where a product may be exposed to unique or especially harsh conditions.

Mark, thanks for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that the Color Filters setting doesn’t fix the yellow screen issue. Have you tried to bring your device to an Apple Store and ask for a replacement unit?

I have the same issue. My iPhone 6 (which I am replacing) has a much better display than this new iPhone 12 Pro. The latter has a yellow screen and way less clarity. Such a disappointment,

Hi guys, sadly I do have the same problem… called apple care and “discretely” after 15 minutes chat, the operator confirmed that lots of cases are arising around the yellow screen. He fixed me a meeting in the closest apple store in town and I went today. At first they have recognised the problem and after several trials they decided to exchange my iphone. Those on display were perfetc and I felt really happy and relieved only until discovering that the new one they gave me had the very same problem!!!

P.S.: iOS 14.2 has just been released. We recommend you to update and let us know if by any chance the yellow screen problem is fixed by this update: https://www.iphonetricks.org/ios-14-2-software-update-10-features-15-fixes/

Just got my iphone 12 today… set it next to my iphone X to do the file transfers and I was shocked at the difference in screen color. I figured it was a setting so i finished the transfer and went through all the display adjustments/corrections stuff… then googled and found this forum. Tried everything… the display is simply not as good as the iphone X i have. Sigh apple. Another reason to never buy the launch!! I’ll be going to At&t to hopefully get it resolved.

I am having the same trouble with the screen color. I am replacing an iPhone 7. The screen on the iPhone 12 mini is like sepia, AFTER we adjusted all of the settings to make it white. I have been talking with support for over 2 1/2 hours. They have basically told me to return it and buy a different model. They say they have not seen any issues with screen trouble with this model. I don’t believe them. I am so frustrated.

Marcia, thanks for your feedback. So, the iPhone 12 mini is affected too. Until now we only had reports about the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro yellow screen occurring. It seems that the later released 12 mini and 12 Pro Max can be also affected by the low quality OLED manufacturing standards. We know how frustrating this is. Hope you can get a replacement unit soon, one that doesn’t have the same problem! Keep us updated.

I received my new iPhone 12 Pro Max yesterday and was really disappointed with how yellow the screen was compared to my XS Max. It just felt yellow and dingy.

CornishTD, thank you for confirming that the iPhone 12 Pro Max yellow screen problem is a fact. I’m sure that you would have preferred not to have a reason to write this comment. And yes, we know the feeling. Spending such a big amount of money implies high-quality. But apparently sometimes even Apple fails to meet expectations. I hope that this will be sorted out for you and you’ll get a replacement when stores reopen in the UK. Stay healthy!

Got my 12 pro max on launch day, soon as I switched it on, I could tell screen was not right, got in contact with apple ( via online chat), sent the guy pictures, he said it was normal lol,

Hi, I received my iPhone 12 mini on the 13th and when I switched it on I immediately noticed the dim, washed out, greenish/yellowish screen. I work with colour calibrated screens as I’m a photographer and the colour cast on the screen is just unacceptable. People’s skin tone on photos are greenish/yellowish. The text on the screen is not black but grey and in darkmode the text is not white but yellowish. It’s really ugly.

With True Tone enabled the screen turns almost to orange. So True Tone is useless too. But that’s less of a problem as I didn’t plan to use True Tone.

And I noticed that while booting up the phone, when you see the Apple logo, that the screen blacks goes from grey to black. This is also visible while watching videos. The blacks are not black but grey for a few seconds and after that they go black. I thought blacks on oled screens were supposed to be black, not grey?

I’m very disappointed. I’m replacing my iPhone 7. But the 7 has a better screen. I did send the mini back today and I’m waiting to receive a new mini, but I’m not having high hopes after reading all the screen problems!

we got two iPhone 12’s and surprisingly one of them has this issue. We could compare both screens side by side and trust me Apple has done a worst job with these displays. Surprisingly Apple service centre was not able to identify the issue till i actually made them compare both the screens. They confirmed that Apple does manufacture diff screens for their devices but are not ready to give it in writing nor they are ready to replace the device. Being an Apple user for ever, i feel terrible that Apple could do this with such expensive devices.

I have the same issue. 12 mini arrived today and after setting it up I was surprised my iPhone 6 screen was whiter and brighter! it’s so gutting after waiting 4 years to update my phone . I’ll be contacting apple this evening.

Hi, just going back to iPhone and got a 12 and was really disappointed at the yellow looking screen compared to my oneplus6t and my iPad Pro. Messed about with it all day then found this. It has made a huge difference now it looks proper white again and now makes my oneplus look off.

I have the same issue yellow hue on screen in comparison to my old iPhone 11 when True Tone turn on. If turn off True Tone then screen is ice blue hue. Even the full brightness is just 80% of old iPhone 11. Let me know if someone is feeling brightness is not as iPhone 11 or earlier.

I have received my new iPhone 12 mini one week ago, as a replacement for my old iPhone SE (1st series). The same day I also received an aftermarket screen protection which filters blue light, and I installed it as first thing, just to put it on a new screen with no dust. Immediately after turning the new phone on, I had a feeling of very yellowish screen, and I started to swear against the screen protector! Before contacting the shop to return the screen protector, I decided to remove it and see how much difference it did, and I was very disappointed… the protector didn’t affect the colors at all, thus it was the iPhone screen. Unfortunately these protectors cannot be removed and reinstalled, thus, just for this, I had to throw away a brand new protector. I tried everything, some settings (like turning True Tone off) improved the situation, but the screen remains absolutely not comparable in terms of brightness and clearliness with that of my previous iPhone SE. I called Apple, had to talk to 3 different people, losing more than 2 hours !!! The first, after explaining the issue, made me wait… after 30′ wait, the line was cut, so I had to recall – the second helped me better, he didn’t recognize there is this issue, but proposed me a replacement unit – I agreed, and I had to talk to a 3rd person (after sales department), who at first told me that a replacement was not possible because my device was not broken, but afterwards corrected, as my phone was less than 14 days old, and agreed for a replacement. I am now waiting to get the new device, but I’m terribly afraid that it will have the same problem, I hope not, anyway, I did never expect such issues with Apple, and with a phone which costs 700+ Euros!

Thank you – I messed around in the color area as noted above and this fixed the yellow color cast. I am a graphics professional and having a real clean color for the screen is important. I appreciate your help. Hopefully this does not revert back.

Squall, thanks for a lot of this in-depth iPhone 12 yellow screen workaround. I’m sure that other readers appreciate your tips too. We will update them in the main article for better exposure. Apple has been notified about this.

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 12 Pro Max from an iPhone 7 Plus. I noticed the warmer tint after getting the phone home, after turning off True Tone, my screen is a very nice warm white. I was curious about this, and what I was able to find was that apple did the warmer tint intentionally, and I also had heard the reports of Apple acknowledging this as a software problem. Plus This was my first OLED panel, and wanted to check on proper behavior.

I had a Plasma TV for several years and always remembered, it was always warmer than LCDs So I figured this was just normal OLED behavior since there wasn’t a Backlight.

4. So my conclusion is for myself anyway is, true tone exaggerates warm lighting, or even darker environments and turns the screen too yellow, turning this off, gave me a nice warm display that I’m used to looking at, and video looks great the way it should on a calibrated display.

Clinton, thanks for enlightening us and for sharing these clever iPhone OLED panel testing tricks. I’m sure other readers will appreciate them too as it makes it easier for them to self-diagnose if the iPhone 12 yellow screen problem is hardware or software related. We will share some of your contribution in the main content of the article.

My Iphone 12 pro max also has the worst yellow tint when true tone is on, as compared to my 11 pro max. My son just got his today and it is perfect like his 11 pro max too. Ours buying date was 4 weeks apart. Mine was F2LD and my son is G6TD serial number (I don’t know if it has anything to do with the production code). I did some googling and finally tried to fix the yellow tint and I found it working. Try: Setting>Accessibility>Display and Text Size>Color Filters (on)>then click on Yellow/Blue Filter. Mine works well. I compared my screen with my son’s screen. I even found mine whiter than his even when true tone is on.

Yes my 12 pro max also have that dull display, this is the first time that i got an iPhone and to get this kind of quality at such a higher price is horrible. Unfortunately i cannot return this iPhone because I am from Haiti and getting this iPhone come to me basically expired the 14 days return policy. I try hard to overlook this issue but the screen is simply not pleasing. My iPad has better screen quality and colors than my iPhone which is ridiculous!!!!!

The first two I received were really really bad – low contrast, low brightness, yellow with True Tome off, very yellow with True Tone on – a massive step back from my iPhone X. The next three have all been the same as one another, pretty much, but much better than those first two – small variation in brightness between them, but as bright as my iPhone X. With True Tone off, the screen is pretty close to white. With True Tone on, they are still yellow in nearly every situation.

Some people prefer the look, but that is not the point – you can use night shift (which is adjustable) if you like that look – its very similar. True Tone should attempt to look white in all lights – place a white hanky next to it – the screen (where it is a white background) should look the same as the white hanky in all lights; with True Tone on, the iPhone 12 does not. It looks like a Kindle Paper White. The white is off white – great for books, rubbish for photos. Have a “Book Mode”, call it what you like Apple, but do NOT call it True Tone. IMO, Apple has no intention to fix this and apart from those early panels like the first two I had, there is no hardware issue and there is no intention to fix it.

Just got my Iphone 12 Pro 2 days back. Noticed that my screen was very yellow (too warm for my taste) , especially with true tone on. I have tried turning true tone off – and the level of “yellow-ness” does reduce. But when I compare it to my iPad Pro 11, the difference is very clear – my iPhone 12 pro is very yellow compared to the iPad.

I got a new 12 pro max. The moment i opened it from the box it had this weird dingy yellow low contrast panel. I came from 11 pro and it had a much better overall color accuracy. Apple store decided to replace my phone with a new one…But the screen is still even more yellow on my replacement model. Total dissapointment for a thousand dollar phone.

I have a 256GB 12 Pro Max and also experiencing this. I finally upgraded from an iPhone 6 and that had a replacement screen that wasn’t even official, just a cheap one, and that screen is better than this new £1300 phone! Spent all day looking at people having the same issues. Absolute disgrace from Apple this.

I just got an iPhone 12 pro, upgrading from a 6s and comparing side by side there is a clear difference in contrast and I am having a yellow cast issue as well. I noticed it right out of the box but I thought it was true tone. I turned it off and it still doesn’t look right. I tried the color filter but it only helped a little bit. Main issue for me is the lack of contrast. I have noticed that if I have auto brightness on and shine my 6s flashlight on the ambient light sensor then it will brighten up and the contrast and colors look much better and closer to what I’m used to but I don’t want to have to keep my screen at maximum brightness to keep it looking right. It seems like a replacement probably won’t help either considering the previous comments with little to no success with replacements. I have heard that for some the iOS 14.5 beta has fixed the yellow cast issue but we’ll see when it comes out. I also have a pixel 3a which has an OLED screen that looks great, with vibrant high contrast but I have noticed that at lower brightness levels the colors shift a lot warmer so it may be the way the software interacts with the hardware that is causing the screen to not display properly. At least I hope it’s a software issue but considering how long it has been since release there is little hope left for that.

I am a photographer and iPhones has always been a good color test for my images. The screens were perfectly calibrated (4, 6 Plus, 7 Plus). Now I got 12 Pro Max (iOS 14.5.1) and colors are rubbish. Yellow tone and I can’t unsee that anymore. What is more. When changing the view angle colors turn to bluish. That is absolutely unacceptable. This is what the cheapest monitors do. I am extremely disappointed. “Color filters” was not helpful as well. Adjustments are too extreme and it is not possible to to reduce that a bit yellow tone. It turns to blue/green/red, but not that neutral which is needed.

Thanks for sharing your findings about the iPhone 12 Pro Max, from a photographers point of view. Sorry to hear that the tweaks mentioned in the article did not help out. If you manage to find anything else that can help with the yellow screen tone, don’t hesitate to follow up.

I purchased a 12 mini back in January 21. I experienced cell reception consistency issues reported on different blogs but also noticed the yellow screen tone. Ended up returning that unit. Purchased another 12 mini last week and again noticing the yellow tone on this unit as well. Both purchases were from 3rd-parties. To the naked eye and next to my 11 pro, both minis were noticeably yellower. I tried the white LED sensor flash described in earlier comments with my 11 pro and the 2nd 12 mini placed “sensor-to-sensor” (top edges together but both screen sides up) and found the mini’s maxed-out brightness still yielded a yellowed display compared to the 11 pro. This was with true tone off, night shift off, no filter applied, and white point reduction off. At this point I’m not sure if we all are crazy or not. Is this actually a manufacturing problem with the 12s or are we all just dissatisfied with Apple’s color calibration for OLED? Is that in itself a manufacturing issue? Further, I placed my 11 pro next to my 1st generation SE and what would you know, the 11 pro looks yellow compared to the SE, but the difference is not as pronounced as that between the 12 mini and the SE. That makes me think this screen yellowing is a characteristic of OLED panels, not just a manufacturing issue on 12s. Whatever the reason is, I prefer the SE and can tolerate the 11 pro but am having trouble accepting the 12 mini. Thoughts?

Thanks for the detailed feedback Jake. I think that the problem with accepting are your own standards. If you find it acceptable you should go for it. Else, not. Btw, we haven’t seen reports of the same yellow screen issue for the iPhone 13 mini. So, if that is an option I would pick it.

While buying a new smartphone, we make sure to accessorise our phone well. We doll it up and take care of it like a baby. But one of the most important things is its screen protectors. Choosing between screen protector vs tempered glass is essential while ensuring your phone screens’ well-being. They will help you shield your phone screens from everyday scratches, breakage or any other damage.

All it does is add an extra layer of protection over your regular phone screen. Especially if you are accident-prone or clumsy, you need to cover up your phone screens right away using the screen guards. Investing in a good screen protector vs tempered glass is probably the best way to reduce the chances of getting damaged screens, thus letting your phone have a longer lifetime. However, replacement or repairing a damaged screen could cost you a fortune. One can not afford to risk it. Better safe than sorry, no?

Choosing the right screen protector vs tempered glass for your smartphones could be a tricky one. Having a debauched quality is deadly. It is similar to wearing gloves to escape the dirt and expecting them to protect your wrist bones against fracture. There are many varieties to choose from. We will assist you appropriately so that you make an informed decision. You might be confused about whether to go for a tempered glass protector or the plastic one. Let’s go through various aspects you need to pay attention to by cautiously weighing their cons and pros so that you make an exemplary and smart purchase.

Cracked or broken touchscreens are very commonly seen rather than intact ones. Plastic screen protectors vs tempered glass are universally found in the market. Just like a coin, they have both pros and cons. Let’s analyse them:

Plastic screen guards are very resilient in making them last longer. Experiments have shown that hammering or even dropping it from a height onto rocks has no effect on the plastic screen protector vs tempered glass.

Another pro linked with the plastic screen protectors is this that they are reusable. At any point, you can take them off, store it and use it again later. This feature ensures their long-term usage. In case you need to put on a waterproof case, you can take the plastic ones off and put the other one on.

There are many downsides which come along the plastic screen guards. Due to being made up of plastic material, over time these protectors lose their clarity. That often results in haziness and looks repulsive while one uses them.

It is relatively thinner than the glass tempered screen protectors. The thicker the screen guard, the tough it is and thus affording our screens resistance against damages.

These are not fingerprint resistant and leaves them on your screen after you use your smartphones. It doesn’t look so pleasant. You need to often wipe them off your screen after usage.

Tracking your fingers and navigating over a plasticscreen protector vs tempered glass may not feel as smooth as when you are using the tempered glass screen protector.

In one line, these are everything the plastic ones aren’t. They are the exact opposite of what we mentioned above. They are the more traditional choice for those who wish to cover their phone screens without harming the edges. Tempered glass screen protectors are made by extensively heating the glass and quickly cooling it. As the glass endures both extreme heat and then rapid cooling, they end up being incredibly stronger.

Tempered glass screen protectors contain multiple layers, including an oleophobic nano-coating, anti-shatter film and a penetrable silicone coating on top of the tempered glass. These compressed layers add to the heat and scratch resistivity of the tempered glass as much as five times stronger than normal glass.

They may be a costlier alternative than the plastic ones, but it safeguards your device better. Tempered glass screen guards are much sturdier and robust in nature than the former.

You might not even notice they are on the top of your mobile screen. It doesn’t make your phone look hideous by not compromising with the look of your smartphone. They provide you clarity as much as your smartphone would without any screen protector over its screen.

In case if your tempered glass breaks, it breaks into small, blunt chunks and that doesn’t compromise with the safety it was providing to your phone screen.

Since it is a glass, chances are you might cut yourself after a bad chip. You shouldn’t reuse a cracked tempered glass screen protector, unlike the plastic ones.

Tempered glass screen guards don’t offer as much impact protection as promised by a plastic screen guard. The hammer experiments we mentioned above are not meant to be run on these tempered glass screens.

A plastic screen protector is comparatively a lot cheaper than the tempered one. You can buy multiple plastic protectors at the price of a single tempered screen protector. This is chiefly due to the quality of the plastic or glass.

The plastic screen guards are not as sleek and modish as the tempered glass screen protectors. Instead, the tempered glass gives you a pleasant look at your smartphone.

Installing the plastic screen guards on your phone screens is quite more tedious than the tempered glass ones. There are various kinds of glass protectors for tempered glass screen protectors, such as full or bezel adhesive.

You can feel the difference between both plastic and tempered glass screen protectors. Your fingers glide smoothly over the tempered glass, and it’s amusing to use. They feel more like the original screen.

Screen protectors can safeguard your smartphone up to a limit. However, no matter which one you opt for, you need to be careful with your smartphones. While this is entirely your choice which screen protector to go for, in our opinion, a tempered glass screen protector is a much more valid, resistant and solid alternative. In a nutshell, the plastic one gets dull over time, but the tempered glass one is modish.

Tempered glass screen protectors were first introduced to the market in plastic protectors. However, when it comes to the ever-changing demands of the smartphone world, a plastic screen protector can no longer adapt its qualities or features to meet those needs. There are a lot of distinctions between tempered glass and plastic screen protectors that have been covered in this post.

There may be additional elements that impact your choices for screen protector vs tempered glass, but it is evident from the information provided above that, on average, a glass screen will be the most effective option. This is because they are more convenient to use, are more pleasant to look at, and provide more protection.

My Sharp Aquos LCD tv model LC-C6554U has some vertically oriented oval-shaped yellowish discolorations in the upper left corner, upper right corner, and upper middle. The rest of the picture is perfect and these areas are only visible with a light image color, such as sky or snow. I’m hoping this is repairable as the rest of the TV functions perfectly. Any thoughts? Thanks.

New iPhone 4 devices plagued with a yellow discoloration of the screen could be the result of a temporary problem that will alleviate itself in a matter of days.

"Apple is using a bonding agent called Organofunctional Silane Z-6011 to bond the layers of glass," austingaijin wrote. "Apparently, Apple (or more likely Foxconn) is shipping these products so quickly that the evaporation process is not complete. However, after one or two days of use, especially with the screen on, will complete the evaporation process and the yellow "blotches" will disappear."

Users began to report on Wednesday that the Retina Display on their new iPhone 4 has a discoloration in the bottom corners of its screen. On those affected units, the screen"s corner has a warm yellowish tint to it.
