I have 64+ year old eyes and my S24U looks fantastic! There are many adjustments besides the "vivid" mode which when adjusted can provide a truly exceptional image on the screen! I see nothing that needs "fixing" here.
Read the previous posts. That came from ONE Samsung rep in Spain. Everyone is just repeating that one item. There has been nothing from Samsung Corp. One rep making a statement doesn't make it fact. It is single source reporting.
Exactly, it's all just click bait at this point and we all fall for it. Some YouTubers are really bad about pretending they have big news and it's crap they've already made a video on.
Swiftkey works pretty good for me too. Although, I will admit that it was much better when it was Word Flow. I was using it on my Lumia 928 and Icon and it was amazingly fast and accurate. Swiftkey can be a little wonky at its word prediction sometimes. I still don't why it thought I was typing "gherkin" while texting. At no point prior that had I ever used that word in a texting (or even speaking) conversation.
I agree with you on not getting upset for sure. I do wonder though, based on your observations of the demo model, if the S24U's anti-reflective screen DOES have some effect on the color vividness of the screen! I know that to me the screen looks great and I am using it on the middle resolution setting/60. I also know that in the dark if you accidentally try to bring up the auto brightness setting by tapping on the 3 dots in the slider, and accidentally put the screen on full brightness...it is EYEBALL searingly bright!
Does the ant-reflective display have an effect? Probably. But why would the demo models not have the same display as the production models? The models sent out to media outlets didn't seem to have this "problem" either. It would have been reported on BEFORE the devices shipped out en masse. Of course, people will cry out and say that Samsung did this on purpose as part of its marketing (without evidence). Since, "bate and switch" schemes are illegal in most countries, I don't think Samsung did it as a scheme to sell more phones. It would come back to bite them hard. Samsung, if anything, is not stupid.

Exactly. It isn't an issue for us Normies who don't keep our phones in our faces eight or more hours a day.
They will have the same display, It's pretty widely known that all displays in stores have their saturation cranked ridiculously high. This is both because of the lighting in shops and also just so they look better to most people. A lot of us may prefer more natural colour tones, but they don't look very enticing on a shop floor while sitting next to a competing display with it's colours ramped up.Does the ant-reflective display have an effect?

I have my display set to auto brightness. I did notice that color saturation seems a little more vivid on brighter settings and flatter while dimmed.
I am wondering if it has to do with Progressive Width Modulation (PWM). I remember reading a recent article about this and the S24. Samsung adopted an iPhone display feature:
The Samsung Galaxy S24 finally copies a much-needed iPhone display feature
Samsung adopted a little known iPhone feature to help make the Samsung Galaxy S24 family's display better than ever.news.yahoo.com
Increasing the PWM to alleviate the eye strain that causes some (many?) people to get nauseous could have affected the perceived color saturation. Does it affect the color space that Samsung displays use? If so, then I could see Samsung making the conscious decision to increase the PWM at the expense of vividness and perceived saturation. Since we become accustomed to Samsung displays being over saturated to begin with, people would almost immediately notice the "flatter" look and complain. But Samsung would rather have people complain about the perceived lack of saturation than people complaining about getting sick while using its phones. Furthermore, eye strain is a real issue and has become more of a problem with people always being face down in a phone or tablet. So the PWM scenario makes sense.
So why do the demo units look "normal" so to speak? Samsung knows that those will not be used by people for more than a few minutes at a time, so PWM induced nausea would less likely occur. It shipped demo units with the lower PWM. That, by the way, is just an assumption.
Whether it is because of the flat screen, the anti-reflective properties or the increased PWM, or a combination of them it is largely irrelevant. Two of the things that help me decide to upgrade from my S22 Ultra was the flat screen and anti-reflective properties. The increased PWM is icing since I have never experienced PWM induced nausea.
I am liking my S24 Ultra. It is not a big enough problem to want to send it back.
Yeah, us normies who spend our time talking about display saturation on phone forums are totally unaffected! Thank frick we are normies!
I agree. The blacks are blacker and color is better (though perhaps not cartoon-like vividness).
