Screen Question: Bright White vs. Pinkish

[Cory Streater]

One thing I've noticed, in a lot of phones with LCD screens, is that the whiteness of the screen can vary quite a bit. The picture below doesn't illustrate this very well, but (in person) the screen on the right is noticeably pinkish white compared to the one on the left, which is true and bright white with no pink tint at all. You probably wouldn't notice this unless you compared 2 screens side by side.

Is anyone familiar enough with screens to know why there would be such variances?

Note: Brightness setting is the same on both. Also, like I said the picture doesn't do the difference between the 2 justice.

i noticed this when looking at my X and Incredible...the Inc had a slight tint of pink on it

Since the Incredible is AMOLED, maybe it's not just LCD screens then. Hmmmm.

When I compare phones the Inc looks more pink than the X, but when I hold it up to the computer screen the X looks pink. Huh

I had 3 EVOS (wife, mom, mine) all had variances. Mine was reddish, mom's kinda neutral (yellowish) wife's bluish (very cool)

Without putting them all side by side, only mine w/ the reddish cast was all that noticeable.

You guys pretty much hit the nail on the head as to what I was going to post here. I noticed when I went into the VZW store to check out the D2, I played with several of the DX's there and noticed mine wasn't very... vivid, as the rest of them. They all had a nice white glow to them, mine looks a bit dull and more of a bright off-white. It actually annoys me now. What I didn't pay attention to was how the different colors, like red or blue or whatever, compared in contrast. I do notice that the red on mine isn't very red, its more of an orange-ish or pink-ish at times, not a true red.

Depends on build date. They are LCD now.
