Screen tint on Tab S3

[QuantamPulse]

Does anyone else have a weird screen tint on their Tab S3? There is a distinctly warm, yellowish tint when using either Amoled Photo or Amoled Video settings for the screen. The white background pages looked very faded out. When selecting Adaptive Display, it looks like a cool white when on the selection screen but then when going out to the web browser or anything it goes back to the same faded look.

Also, it doesn't seem to happen in Adaptijve mode on videos, just on web pages and documents. For example, there is nothing I can do to get a true white background in MS Word. If I switch after just watching it a video it starts white but then fades on Adaptive and is always that way on any other mode.

Yes. I mentioned that on google + today when the article about the tint in the S8 was published.
It only happens in certain light conditions for me and only on white pages.

Have you by any chance turned on the "Blue light" filter? It also has a scheduler to turn itself on at certain time of the day.

Slide down the settings and checked if the icon with the rectangle with the letter "B" in it is enabled. You can find it also in the display section in the settings.

For me the blue light filter is off, but the issue that I am referring to does resemble a lower version of the way the screen looks with three filter on.

Don't you have the ability to adjust color to your preference?
