Green tinted screen?

I'm looking forward to the G4 a lot, so I've been trying to see as much about it as I can, and it seems like sometimes it has a very strong green tint to the screen.

Code:

- Look at the white background behind her on each phone.
Code:
https://youtu.be/vOgGg5hX4Qo
- Look at the color of the google search bar on the G4 and the S6 (not the M9 because it's not trying to be white).
Code:
https://youtu.be/AADWxIXdimY?t=17
- This one doesn't appear to have the green tint, but it is phonearena and the video is low quality, plus their review said it had a very cold colored display, which would fit with the green tint.
Code:
https://youtu.be/ulc6Ha9GqH0?t=115
- Again the google search bar on the G4, and the white parts of certain app icons on the iPhone. This one also doesn't seem to have the green tint.
Code:
https://youtu.be/c2Znb6i07xg?t=112
- Also missing the green tint, and I think I've noticed that when the lights are brighter, the green tint isn't there.
Code:
https://youtu.be/arMxaPbO4rc?t=26
- Missing again.

I'm not sure what to believe. Could these be issues with certain versions LG (or T-Mobile) have been sending out to people? Are these just a couple lemons? Could something else be to blame?

(Also, why can't I link to specific times in youtube without it autoembedding the video and destroying the linked time?)

I watched the video and saw what you are seeing.

I don't know what to make of it other than something on their end of making the video review. No one else has mentioned this in any review nor did she and since the s6 is also showing the same green tint that makes me suspect it's on the reviewers end.

I did hear the higher output of the g4 over the s6 and am pleased with this but what troubles me more than anything else about this is how dark the screen is with it set to 100%.. I hope that this is corrected by the time of the release

Which of the videos are you talking about? I only saw the green tint in the first two of the six I posted, and that was in comparison to the S6's better white. I don't recall seeing the S6 as green in any of them. Phonearena's test showed the screen at 8000K, which is pretty blue compared to the 6500K, and while I dislike phonearena, this number does fit with the green tint. Strangely enough, I didn't see the green tint im phonearena's video.

I watched the entire video of the woman doing it before. When both phones are laying side by side on the table you can see the green tint clearly on both of them. It might have something to do with the wallpaper she has on both but I can clearly see it.
