Why the blue screen color cast?

[Dave4321]

Seems HTC was able to make whites actually be white on their amoled display. Can't Samsung fix the white balance?

The One X is SLCD2. AMOLED screens have always had the blue tent at low brightness levels.

No...but black looks better on the S3. You can't have everything all the time.

The whites on a HTC use what is similar to a led of 4000-4500k white color. Samsung uses closer to a 5000k white led.

I personally think the Samsung white looks "cleaner" when displayed next to the HTC in youtube videos.

Thats the One S not the X

I may have found an app that can help with the color cast.

Google and every review tend to disagree. HTC isn't using amoled screens on the One series devices which is why people bring up the pentile argument when comparing the SIII and the One X.

HTC would disagree with you.

Different kernels (at least for the GNex) have color/gamma settings. You can correct that screen very, very quickly. I presume the same will be true with the SIII.

I did see that. Hopefully you are right.

hmm..somehow missed that the One S used Super Amoled.

Which brings the original question to why Samsung couldn't just correct it themselves.
