Why is my screen less "white" than my wife's Note 5?

[PsychDoc]

Looking at the two side by side on maximum brightness, the S7 is somewhat yellowish while my wife's Note 5 us pure white. I thought the S7 screen was 'state of the art.'

Any idea why our whites are far from pure white?

Differences in screen technology and color balance. Pure white would have too much contrast.

Bottom line, the Note 5 screen is (very) significantly better than the S7's.

And that's really not acceptable.

Which screen mode are you using? Have you adjusted the color balance?

Good suggestion. I adjusted the white balance manually and this seems to have made a significant difference. Overall I'm using the adapt mode.
