For anyone bothered by the blue tint...

[Jeremy8000]

Among my coworkers, I use the Pixel 2 XL, 3 coworkers use the iPhone X, 1 the iPhone 8, and 2 use Galaxy S8/S8+.

We laid them out and all agreed that the three iPhone X's all have roughly the same - and the most - color shift, followed by the Pixel 2 XL, then closely by the rest (though the S8 is reddish shift so it's difficult to gauge the degree of color temperature change with the naked eye).

That said, not a single one of them had ever noticed it before the comparison, nor were any of them (or I) concerned about it as they all felt it would never practically impact them.

Everyone's opinion is valid for theirself, but for me, it's like choosing a seat from which to watch my television. If the seat facing basically directly towards it is the most comfortable and available, how often and why would I choose to sit way off to the side?

I agree with you. Very well-written.

So I ordered a black 2 xl during the initial day, I did noticed the blue tint, but it didn't really bother me. Recently I sold that and got a panda color 2 xl instead. I have to say I don't really see the blue tint anymore.

So either the later batch has better screen, the 8.1 update fixed it a little, or I just got lucky since no 2 screens are the same and I just happened to get one that has less blue tint issues?

All I'm saying is that, it didn't bother me before when the blue tint was more noticeable, and it doesn't bother me now since I can't even see any blue tint even if I try.

Ok so I recently got an LG V30, and I really like this thing, of course I am NOT ready to say it's better than my Note 8. BUT as I understand it, this phone has the same display as the Pixel 2 XL? Anyways I can barely see a blue shift when I tilt it, AND it doesn't bother me at all. The screen looks gorgeous straight on, and it looks good at angles.

I'm really regretting cancelling my P2 XL pre-order, but for a couple factors. I got a GREAT price on the V30, it supports the 600 spectrum on T-Mobile if/when I ever need it too, and it has THE most amazing DaC (digital to analog converter). It also has a headphone jack AND SD slot! Honestly though I still think in the end I will go back to the Note 8.

BUT lets end this blue tint BS! lol

the V30 doesn't have a circular polarizer though, which the application of can influence blue tint
