Display has a yellow hue/tint...

My display has a yellow hue/tint and it is not being caused by a screen protector (which is clear). Also did a factory reset (didn't expect it to work) and it didn't help. I'm comparing the display to a at&t iphone 4 display. The hue/tint is consistent throughout display, no lines nor spotting, nor has the phone been in the heat.

Verizon's iphone has a Yellow hue. And I dont believe its going to "cure" or go away ...
PS: For those of you like "Thomas" who say its "Just fine". Please hold your AT&T iphone up next to your Verizon iPhone. You'll see its not "just fine". Love when people just rattle off comments like this with zero research...
Since I don't happen to have both an AT&T iPhone and a Verizon iPhone, I did a different test. I viewed a photo on my Verizon iPhone and held it up next to the identical photo on the screen of my MacBook Pro. The iPhone photo was very slightly darker, but there was absolutely no color cast. I repeated this for a number of different images with different palettes, and none showed the slightest yellow color cast.
Note that one should not confuse reading posts online from people with zero technical knowledge talking about a "problem" with actual research.

My refurbished iPhone 5 display has a yellow tint?

I got a replacement iPhone from AppleCare today, and I've got everything figured out with my new iPhone 5. When I was texting my friend, in messages I noticed the white background in the messages apphas a yellow tint to it. To make sure I wasn't seeing things or anything I got my iPhone 5 that I'm sending back to Apple and I compared both displays and the refurbished iPhone (I assume it's refurbished, there is little noticeable marks here and there) has a yellow tinted screen, and it's very noticeable, regardless on screen brightness.
Is this normal in refurbished iPhones, or any refurbished apple devices? Can I call Apple back and request a new replacement iPhone 5? The yellow tint is pretty annoying, and I have an iPad as well, so I can really see the tinted yellow display.

Is it new? I heard it was some minor problem with the adhesive glue on the iphone, and that it should go away in a couple of days/weeks?
If you're super concerned about it, you should go to the apple store and have them check it out.

My new MacBook display has a pink-ish tint

I just got a white 1.83 MacBook yesterday. I do some graphic design work (nothing major). While comparing the same shots of a creme-colored building on both the MacBook and an Intel iMac, the 'Book displays the color as orange-pink rather than the ivory/off-white that it should be. I notice that it just seems to distort any light colors but doesn't affect darker earth tones.
Lovely.
intel iMac Core Duo 20", MacBook Pro 2.0 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Embarassingly, I didn't look close enough to discern. The Genius claimed to have "calibrated" the MacBook for me and essentially sent me on my way. It wasn't until I got back to the office and began comparing the same screen and image across various computers when I noticed that all he did was make the colors "cooler" (bluer) to offset the pink.
To illustrate, the Airport menubar when it is not active should have gray "reception waves" to show that they are dimmed. Well, mine aren't gray but more like a dirty gray or bronze.
I've tried to adjust every calibration setting in advanced mode in every which way to no avail. I just cannot seem to replicate the tones on the iMac or even a Dell on one of my colleague's desk. Furthermore, I took into account that the glossy display might be an issue here with regards to the angle, but even adjusting the tilt didn't change anything.
Anyway, Apple tech support has agreed to allow me to swap the machine. Others should be aware of this potential defect -- assuming it's not an insignificant anomaly.

Macbook pro 13'' 2012 yellow hue on display

I bought a Macbook pro 13'' one week ago and I had a problem with my taps lock button. I was not suttisfied with any problem with a 3 days laptop so i contacted Apple and I had a replacement after I tried everything they told my (software update,etc). I got now my ''new'' macbook pro and compared to the old one the display has a yellow hue and the difference is clear with naked eye. What I am supposed to do?ask for a third macbook?honestly i prefer to have the first one with a button problem instead of a display with yellow hue.
Please advise me

not just views guys. Feel free to say your opinion. I really need your opinion right now;/

IPhone 5s display has yellow hue/warmer colors?

Should I be concerned that my 5s's display is warmer than the display on my 4, 4s and iPad 3?
With full brightness on each device, the 4, 4S, and iPad 3 all have, well, "normal" whites. My 5s display has a yellow-ish hue to everything. Unnoticeable on most things (like photos), but in Messages and such, it's noticeably yellow.
Anyone else having this issue? I love 5s to death other than this, so I dunno whether it's worth getting a replacement for (or whether Apple Stores even have replacement silver AT&T 5s's at this point, haha).

I am faching the same issue. I bought the phone here in the UK. As soon as I unboxed it I felt that the display was not as bright as my iPhone 4S. I went to apple store and got the phone replaced today. The replaced phone also has the same display issue (yellowish, creamish, warmer). I compared my phone with other phones in the apple store display pieces and discovered that only my phone has this problem. When I asked the sales person, he she said new batches of iPhones comes with this display.
It really looks very dull, especially while using apps with white background.

Brand new, white Verizon iPhone4, has a yellow tinted screen.

I just bought a brand new Verizon (white) iPhone and noticed the color of the screen had a warmer (yellowish) tint to it, comparing it my iPod4 which has a cooler (bluish) tint. I then compared it to a friend's AT&T iPhone4 and noticed he had the cooler tint to it as well. We both had the brightness turned all the way up.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I really like the bluish look a lot more because the whites look more like whites.
I'm wondering if maybe my iPhone was color calibrated incorrectly or if this was done intentionally.

Hi
How did it go with Apple customer care? Just wondering because I exchanged my white Verizon iPhone and I see it exactly the same yellowish tint on the screen and compared it to all the black iPhones they had at the store, so I'm just wondering if Apple care was able to do anything??
Thanks
I haven't called Apple's customer care service but instead brought my iPhone into an official Apple retail store. The employee has never been approached about the yellow tint yet, and assured me there was nothing wrong with it. He also couldn't give me an answer I was looking for either; if it was Apple's intention or not. He himself had a brand new Verizon white iPhone and we compared ours and they both looked the same. I showed him my friends AT&T black iPhone and set it next to mine but he really didn't notice the difference. My friend also had a protective screen over it and the employee said maybe the blue tint I was seeing was from the plastic (which I know is not the cause).
I brought it to Verizon's store and the employee there said he didn't see any real problem with it and since Apple didn't send them a notice about a recall on their iPhone's, there was nothing they could do about it.
So I thought, this is must be what they are doing for all their new iPhone's. Every new one I see, it's tinted yellow. Although when I was in the Apple store and compared it to one of the new iPad2's displays, the iPad had a blue tinted screen.
The mystery over the yellow screen continues!
[However, I've been getting used to the yellow screen and I don't even notice it anymore.]

Who has a yellow tinted screen?

Finally was able to get my sister a replacement, and the first thing I even noticed without hearing or reading of the issue was the retina display seemed kinda yellowish. So I looked it up and compared, and the phone has a yellow tint on the entire screen. I can only take pics using an iPhone 3G so it would look fuzzy though.

How is your phone?
Also, the battery is already half gone and its had 2 hours usage. of Facebook, and some twitter. WIFI OFF too. 3G on
My screen is just fine. I don't see any yellow tinted on it.
I find that the battery lasts longer when connected to wi-fi then using just 3G. If I were to use just 3G, I'd probably get around where you are, as in 2 hours -3 hours of usage.

Macbook pro retina display has pinkish tint?

I have bought a macbook pro 15.4" with retina display.Everything is good but the screen.When I had a white wallpaper , then I saw the pinkish tint on the left and the normal white on the right, specially in the evening or in low light.How can I fix this? I went to the Apple care center but they said that it was normal. I tried the calibration in color setting but I found it very difficult.
Doesn't any one else have the same problem? How to fix that? If you have the calibrated icc profile for this problem please share with me.Thanks!

Hi Rzeng123, Thanks for sharing. I also sent my MBPR for second time LCD replacement. But I have no confidence with apple now I am pretty sure I will end up with a second YELLOW screen just like you.I bought my mac in London, but I am right now in Singapore there is no apple store only got reseller and authorized service centre. So I can only send my mac to the authorized service centre for repair. Luckily the manager is not blind as yours but they keep telling me that this kind of obvuous yellowish screen has no problem and it is perfect within specification. So he refused to help me change again at first until I speak to a senior apple advisor through phone call( I have spoken to apple technique support for three times before I finally speak to this "useful senior guy".) The manager in the service centre agreed for a second replacement and as he said before no guarantee. I don't understand why Apple didn't draw attention to this issue. U and me are not the special cases. I did reserch online before I took my mac for repair people were complaining the same problem as we are. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1561150
As for calibration, this is useless for my machine I have tried to adjust the color.May be I will try after I get my second replacement. Like u said every apple staff are trying to convince us this yellow screen is normal, if it was why the devices sold in store are not yellow ? They service mananger even told me that those sell in store now are the first batch of manufacturing and they are actually with defects but this yellow one are the second batch with improvement and it is better than the white on
I also take my mac to a retail apple store for comparison just like the picture shown below the left one is a normal retina display and the yellow one on the right is my poor mac.

Screen has a yellow tint?

When you tilt the classic's screen towards an angle (tilted towards the top right corner and the bottom left corner) at a white background, the whole screen has a yellow tint. Is this normal?
Thanks.

Yes, I believe it is. LCD screens are meant to be looked at straight on to get true color and brightness.

Has anyone noticed that their iPhone 5 has a yellow tinged display?

Has anyone noticed that their iPhone 5 has a yellow tinged display and the colours look too intense? Just does not look right.

Correction - I HAVE reported the fault to Apple and to my network provider who have informed me that they have received numerous complaints from their customers and are sending out replacements to them and to me. As I hadn't stated what steps I had taken in my original post you shouldn't be so fast to assume what I have or have not done.
Thank you and goodbye.

Display has yellowish tint

I recently had my macbook pro replaced by apple care a few days ago and everything is great except for one thing. The display has a yellowish tint to it, ive reinstalled osx, resetted pram and it still is there. I calibrated it, and while its better, it still is not as good as my old macbook pro model (which is a core duo, this is a core 2 duo). I went to a compusa near me and looked at the new macbook pros, none of them have this tint. Basically what I am asking is if this is how some C2D models are or is this a problem? Thanks for help in advance.
Macbook Pro C2D Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I have had trouble calibrating my MBP display with the calibration tools built in to OSX. My problem was a pink tint and could not get rid of it. So after looking around Google for a while I found a program called SuperCal, and it helped alot. I am willing to bet that it'll help you get rid of your yellowish tint. Check it out.

Will apple swap in my black iphone 4s for a white one? Considering my screen also has the "yellow tint"

Macbook Pro Display has a pink tint to it

Ever since I upgrade to 10.6 my display has been wiggin out on me. Half the screen usually has this pink tint to it. Sometimes it's only 2-3 inches across but goes to the top and bottom. Don't know what's going on with my display. Is it due to heat? Cause my laptop still gets freaking hot. I have done a hardware test and passed. When I connect it to another display, it doesn't show up on the other monitor. I can grab the top of the monitor and by pressing gently I can make it go away, but as soon as I release it goes back. I used to be able to press on it and it would go away for awhile. Any suggestions?

I am encountering the same problem with my MBP. I was wondering if you have any updated information on what you have found out?

Does your iPad 3 have a yellow hue?

Just got my iPad 3 set up. I had original iPad, iPad 2 to compare. Screen on iPad 3 has a noticeable yellow hue. Does yours?

I ordered an AT&T and a Verizon iPad 3 because I couldn't decide which one I wanted. By the time I got them, I decided I wanted to go with Verizon.
However, the displays on the two iPads were significantly different. The Verizon iPad was yellowish, and the AT&T IPad is bright white and gorgeous. Side by side, there's definitely a difference.
I exchanged the Verizon one for another one -- it was also yellowish.So I'm going to keep the AT&T one and return the Verizon one.
I asked a friend who works at Apple, and he said they are probably made in different factories. Also, I heard that there are multiple manufacturers of those retina displays, so that might be another reason. The guy at the apple store said, (and I quote), "Well, they're not all going to be identical." I don't know if I expected identical, but for $903.76 I expect it to be a lot closer. If I wanted something marginal, I'd buy a $200 tablet, right? (Note: Even my Kindle Fire is brighter than the Verizon iPad).
I'm not sure I would have noticed if I hadn't seen the bright white one, so I'm glad I did. It's disappointing that I have to keep the AT&T one instead of the Verizon one, but I read more than I'm going to use a data plan, so it's more important to get the right display.
