Colours look dull and washed out compared to my S22 Ultra...

[Village_Idiot]

I didn't see a huge difference. But I am inside and I keep the lighting warm. When I am outside during the day, I'll see if it made a difference.

This didn't make a difference outside. I don't stare at my phone for hours at a time, so I don't seem to notice the problem. To me, the display looks normal.

I only notice the "problem" when moving between a Samsung phone on One UI 6 and my S24U. If I haven't looked at an older, more vivid screen running the same apps it looks fine.

I mean, it looks fine anyway, just looks different to, say, the S23U.

Is anyone using adaptive colour tone? Have you tried turning it off, or vice versa?

Nah turned it off it felt like blue lighting type of deal

Me too. But I wonder if anyone who is using it might think something is wrong with colour because of it.

Ahh good point

Hmmm... Anyone posting images with comparisons?

Whelp...here is the reason why:

Galaxy S24 vivid display mode might be working as intended after all

It appears that Samsung may have intended for the Galaxy S24 Vivid display mode to be less colorful and might not change it after all.

I always disable all of the auto crap. I know how I want my screen, I'm not going to let the screen try to determine how I want it lol.

Samsung and everyone else is all of a sudden worried about being "accurate" but the default HDR photo mode is anything but accurate. The default photo HDR mode has way over blown contrast and piercing brights. Why is everyone so concerned about accurate colors and but not also accurate contrast and brightness? It's like, if you want to be accurate, then be accurate across the board and not just tone the colors down but have the brightness and contrast set to inaccurate nuclear explosive level brightness. I swear humans repeatedly fail to ever make full sense...oh accurate colors....but the brightness and contrast permanently blinds you in nuclear level HDR and doesn't look anything like the brightness in the real life scene that you photograped lol.

While I might agree with toning the colors down a bit there is no explanation as why it seems the natural vs vivid does not change visibl

While it's an interesting point and comparison accurate display colors are mutually exclusive from HDR default settings and results.

It only looks weird when over done. I've produced HDR images using my DSLR and Photoshop. To get a good HDR image, you need at least five separate captures. One 2-stops under exposed, one 1-stop under exposed, one normal exposed, one 1-stop over exposed, one 2-stops over exposed; all taken using the same F-stop. Then blended using Photoshop or some other image editing software. When done right, it looks natural. Doing it in camera is hit or miss because the blending can't be tweaked. You're at the mercy of what the algorithms think it's supposed to look like.

The purpose of HDR is to replicate what the human eye sees. The dynamic range of the human eye is over 25-stops, where as the dynamic range of most modern camera sensors is around 10 to 14-stops.

Someone commented "Natural has always been SRGB. It copies the Pixel 2 XL's color profile exactly. Vivid is supposed to be calibrated to DCI-P3, "supposed" being the key word. Fact is, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is the first Samsung phone to be accurately calibrated to DCI-P3."

Personally I am already used to new color profile. It doesn't bother me anymore

I'm learning a lot from these shutter bugs

I do not believe this is intended. If intended, why not remove the "vivid" colors setting. Makes no sense having this setting with no effect. This news is concerning to me because I think Samsung figured out this is a hardware related problem and cannot be fixed with a firmware update.

This constant discussion “I like vivid, I lice natural” is useless, everyone has a preference, this why there used to be a working setting for the display colors. It is like the temperature setting on your air condition/heating unit, you set what you are comfortable with.

Yeah, I'm getting more used to it over time. If the article is true and it's a new direction Samsung is heading in terms of display panels, then it's not likely to change until consumers respond with poor sales volumes. If they do decide to reintroduce with the S25U I don't see why we S24U owners wouldn't get the software update to activate vivid mode anyway.

If they don't change, it's not a deal breaker. I'm sure I'll continue to get used to it over time. And there's still so much to enjoy about the S24U that I am happy with my purchase.

It's not a hardware problem. The display is more than capable of giving you any color you want and at any intensity.

If it were a hardware issue, the issue would be present with everything else including media. We can see the differences between S23U and S24U when people send screenshots.

The issue is nothing more than the settings Samsung created for home screens.

I have a feeling someone will eventually reach out to this one exec with Samsung Spain (of all countries, I'm questioning why you would quote from someone so random instead of South Korea) and tell them to no longer comment on this topic.

I agree but Samsung messed this one up for sure, giving a display color option that does nothing to the color of the display. On previous galaxy phones everyone could notice the difference of this setting.
