Have anyone noticed how the screen changes in sunlight to better see the screen?

Not talking about brightness.. the screen itself... Has a purpleish tint to it in direct sunlight. Almost like those glasses that self tint in sunlight. Just making sure I'm not the one needing glasses and not the only one who see it

What they are referring to is not related to Adaptive Display mode.That's the Adaptive Display screen mode (which is the default setting). You can change this under Settings>Display>Screen Mode. Other options are Basic, AMOLED Cinema, and AMOLED Photo. Basic sets it to standard sRGB color gamut, while AMOLED Photo changes it to AdobeRGB (which is significantly larger than sRGB).
Adaptive Display is essentially changing the white balance setting of the screen based on ambient color temperature.
Being a photographer, the screen was the primary reason I chose the Note 4. The Note 4 screen can display a very impressive over 90% of Adobe RGB color space (138% of sRGB/Rec.709 Gamut). The iPhone 6plus in comparison is an underwhelming 63% of sRGB, which is similar to other high end smart phones.
You won't notice much of a difference in the UI or most apps, as they're designed with average display color gamuts in mind. You also won't notice much difference in typical web viewing, as web browsers are limited to sRGB. But you will notice a difference in viewing pictures offline, especially if they were taken in AdobeRGB color space. So for my uses of displaying my portfolio, this phone was a must have. I'm also planning on getting the Samsung Tab S 10.5" for the same reason, no other tablet screen even comes close to it.
More importantly, on the Galaxy Note 4 the Maximum Brightness can go much higher when Automatic Brightness is turned On, so that users can’t permanently park the Manual Brightness slider to very high values, which would run down the battery quickly. High screen Brightness is only needed for High Ambient Light, so turning Automatic Brightness On will provide better high ambient light screen visibility and also longer battery running time.
When Automatic Brightness is turned On, the Galaxy Note 4 reaches an impressive 750 cd/m2 in High Ambient Light, where high Brightness is really needed – it is the brightest mobile display that we have ever tested. As a result of its high Brightness and low Reflectance, the Galaxy Note 4 has a Contrast Rating for High Ambient Light that ranges from 100 to156, the highest that we have ever measured for any mobile display. See the Brightness and Contrast, the High Ambient Light and the Screen Reflections sections for measurements and details.
What they are referring to is not related to Adaptive Display mode.
It is the high brightness/contrast mode that only kicks in when ambient lighting is very strong, such as in direct sunlight or close to it, and only when brightness is set to auto. It kicks in no matter what is being displayed on the screen, including the home screen (unlike Adaptive Display mode). It sacrifices color accuracy in order to make the screen as bright as possible with maximum contrast. I like it and it is one of the reasons I got a Note 4. When it kicks in I am usually needing a phone number or something quick where I don't care about the neon-looking color.
