Yellow tint (lower part of screen)

Good day!
I am a very satisfied Z2 user for quite a while now.
My problem started recently when I noticed the lower part of my screen developing a yellowish color.
Should I send it to Sony service center or should I wait for a firmware update?
And would the service center accept it even if I bought it from a gray market?
Btw, I'm from Manila, Philippines.
TIA!

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
First of all check the settings for white balance. You'll find it under settings > display > white balance.
If you have tried to change it without any difference when it comes to the yellow tint I suggest that you have your phone examined by a service center. Please contact your local Xperia support team for more information:

Yellow tint! the 3rd Screen of my iMac 27, it's getting worse and worse...

Hi everyone not sure if there is anything more i could do with this, I have a 2010-13 week iMac, it came with a 'bearable' yellow tint problem from the beginning, after a hard drive failure i had to send my iMac back to Apple care, i was hoping the screen problem had been solved so I asked them to replace my screen as well, it came back with a worse panel showed much larger area of yellow tint...
Then I decided to wait for a few months until a week ago before my holiday i called for another exchange, was hoping for a perfect screen after my holiday, now holiday is over and iMac is back, just right after I pressed the power button, the start up screen with apple logo clearly tells me that i have got a even more disgusting panel - the worst of all i have to say, a new uneven shadow line on the bottom plus the usual yellower tint spreads over the middle of the screen, oh yes, they decided to make it even worse, a big dead spot as well in the corner ....
after a few hours, when i was editing a photo in Aperture, I have discovered something even more disturbing, from right edge of the screen inwards there is around 8cm wide vertical band shows obvious brighter tone than the rest of screen...
I do a lot of black & white photography plus a lot 3D graphic work, for a while I had tried to live with the yellow issue until it got really frustrating - now i have to once again arrange an exchange as this one is just unbearable!
Is this really Apple? Hard drive failed after a year and this is the 3rd screen of the iMac, and it just gets worse...
I wonder if there's anyone who had the luck to get the yellow screen replaced by a decent one?

Are you talking about a mid-2011 iMac or a 2010 iMac?
As it seems, the issue of color inconsistency of the iMac display is far from solved. Yellow tint, uneven brightness, light-leaks are very easily found even of newer models. I have a two-week-old mid-2011 27-inch iMac that I tried to replace for a new one because of yellow tint issue. It turned out that the replacement iMac had a worse screen... So I kept the first one. Not sure if the right thing to do is just get the screen replaced. It seems users have done it with no success...
So, I guess these problems are structural on the iMac line. They seem very much to be omnipresent. And I don't see Apple offering a genuine/trustworthy solution through its in-warranty support.

Trackpad/Mouse not working on lower part of screen

I just got a refurbished Macbook Pro in the mail from Apple. It's the 17" 2.3ghz bad boy. Well right above the dock i can't click on anything. For example, if i have my apps folder open I can't click on the bottom row of apps. Only if i move the folder a tad up can I open the folder - I've attached a pic. I know this is very strange but true. I also can't click on any part of a web page, links, etc. if it is in this area. ***?!?!??!?!?! Someone please help! (note that in the pic VLC is selected but I selected it before moving the folder down just to show exactly where this problem is occuring)

Wow. acidking. That's sort of working. Positioned on the left it seems like everything is clicking fine. What's that about?!?! I just got back to the apple store and they didn't know what it was and couldn't offer advice until lion is actually released (no developer releases).....acidking - if you have more input that'd be great. and I made the dock, it's not part of lion.

Occasional problem with the lower part of screen not recognizing touches??

Has anyone else had a problem when sliding the bar to unlock the phone or occasionally not being able to access symbols on the keyboard?

This OS (4.2.1.) often locks up for seconds on end. Never happened previously. It becomes completely inert at times. It has made the UI no longer feel transparent. It's now click and wait... Rubbish.

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.

IMac 27 3,1 Ghz (2011) | yellow tint on lower part of the screen

Hello,
Just bought an iMac 27" 3,1 Ghz with AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1GB VRAM.
Unfortunately the lower third/quarter of the screen has a yellow tint. Very annoying if you want to do graphics and webdesign :-(((
Is this still the same LED problem like in 2009/10 ? Anyone else with the same issue and a new 2011 model ?
Very annoying and frustrating with an almost perfect machine. Temperature is very low, almost no noises – it would be a dream working place... Sorry, to say something negative about it, but the screen looks like it was used for ages and reminds me to the good old tube-days.
Any experiences and opinions are very much appreciated.

Same issue here too. I actually don't think most people would notice, but some of us have low tolerances for colour inconsistency. Anyhow, I've scheduled a return with Apple online. I think it may just be a characteristic of the display rather than something "wrong" with it. (?) So I'm not taking a chance on another computer, I don't think it would turn out any better. But yes, the lower half of my screen — and especially the center of the bottom — is clearly yellower than the top half. The problem is minimized if I turn the brightness way up, but then my eyes bleed, ha. When I keep the brightness set 6 ticks above "zero", I'm regularly distracted by the colour change. I can't notice it as much on a busy screen (versus a grey background) but that's not exactly a solution.

I dropped my laptop and now the screen is in yellow tint

Hi,
I recently dropped my laptop and turned it on to find that the screen is in yellow tint.
Will Toshiba be able to replace my screen?

Of course they can do this. I can just imagine that you must wait few days because they must order new parts.

My 2013 15" retina macbook pro screen has a yellow tint, should i ask for a replacement?

So yesterday i got my retina macbook pro 15 " and right away i noticed my worst fear ( since i previously had read some similar stories) my screen has a noticeable yellow tint specially on white tones, websites have a "newspaper look " to them, since i bought this computer because im starting web design in university in a couple of months i would say i'm pretty much ******, people say i shoud just calibrate it, but most people dont calibrate their screen, so it would be a mess, my work would look good on my computer but ****** on other's people computer
I'm very surprised because i thought this issue only affected the initial batch of retina macbook pros, but i checked my serial online and my computer was made in January 2013 so its quite new, the panel is a Samsung "LSN154YL01001.
I have read that usually LG panels don't suffer as much from the yellow tint but they suffered from Image retention, is it stil like this? what do you think i should do should i keep this computer with the samsung screen or get apple to give me a new one hopefully with a LG panel or at least a samsung without yellow tint

Actually MOST People that work in all parts of the Design field DO Calibrate their screens. It is the only way to make sure what you are looking at on your computer screen will be the same on other design professionals screens and to the general public.
Wherever you got the notion that Design professionals and or design schools of all types don't calibrate their screens is completely incorrect.
So it is up to you whether you calibrate or not and or to return that Retina for one that has a better color balanced screen from the start. Along with that the new unit you get may have other problems as the Retina models are plagued with random problems. The screens only be one of them.

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

Yellow Tinted Screen?

I just got my Mini, hooked up a ViewSonic VA720 LCD to it, and the screen has a yellow tint to it. I can't get rid of it after calibrating the display. When I connect the display to my other non-Mac computers, it displays in normal color, without the tint. Any ideas? I am using the DVI to VGA connector that came with the Mini. Thanks for any help.

Thanks Tim! When I go to the Apple Store, I'm assuming I should bring the CPU and the adapter...I've tried a few times, plugging things in in different order, and nothing seems to be working. There is also some horizontal 'streakiness', especially after things on the screen that contrast sharply, going from left to right. Hopefully an Apple Genius can get 'er working right soon.

Yellow tint screen on my iphone5

would it be possible to claim a new set because my screen is yellow tinted

A yellow tint on a new device's screen is not unexpected; this would be due to the adhesive used within the device. This tint should fade within 1 - 2 weeks.

Interlacing/ Scan Lines on iPhone 4S Screen + Yellow tint!

Hi everyone I bought my 64gb IPhone last week and noticed that I have faint interlacing lines on my screen. My serial starts with c39 and I am extremely dissatisfied. I had my iPhone 4 replaced last year and the replacement had this issue as well. I am so sick of Apples qc lately. You can really notice the issue when the display is showing a light grey bg and also the iMovie and Facebook icons. Please respond if you are experiencing this issue. I also have the yellow tinted screen. What is going on Apple?

I have the some issue with you.I found this interlacing issue with my last Iphone4 in july 2011,and then got 2 replaced iphones having the same problem.when I get my new iphone4S these days,I found the same issue,although its Not easy to observe,and MUCH BETTER then my last iphone4,but its defintely there,I can also notice it!

Apple Yellow Tint Screen

Hi,
I know that this problem been discussed previously here, I bought my iphone from the UK and been using it for a few months and it was perfectly fine. Now I buy a new iphone in Dubai and the screen is yellow tinted!
I am really unsatisfied with the yellow tinted screen. The question I want to ask is, am I entitled to get a new iphone? I went back to the store exactly two hours after I bought it and they refused to replace it for me, claiming that this is Apple Policy
Thanks,
Alzaabi

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.]
