Blue tinge

[Xjcliu]

Just picked the 32 gb version up yesterday and loving it except one thing: if I'm not looking at the screen straight on, whites take a blue tinge. This is only evident with whites, other colors look fine but whites are only white within a 30 degree arc. Is this normal or is my unit defective?

Welcome to Android Central! That probably has to do with the viewing angle of the screen, which is common. Some devices have worse viewing angles than others. This review notes a slight reduction in brightness at shallow viewing angles, which may be similar to what you're experiencing: Dell Venue 8 7000 Tablet Review - NotebookCheck.net Reviews

It doesn't really get dim and it doesn't take a very shallow angle. Most colors look fine at shallower angles but whites start looking blueish even at pretty vertical angles, like 30 degrees off the vertical. Anybody who owns the tablet notice the same thing?

Is this your first amoled screen device? They do have different characteristics for color balance etc.
