Why doesn't Apple simply include an option ... to adjust the screen temperature.

This won't help if you have a screen that's more yellow at the bottom (like the majority of screens that I have seen) or one with poor contrast.

exactly

anyone got a week 34? read in a forum that a dude has got a "perfect" screen.

The weeks mean nothing, and I have yet to see a perfect screen... If somebody wants to show me their perfect screen I'd love to see it...

On another note. I bought a friend an ipod touch and the screen is noticably different. Clear, consistant and white...

I wonder why some users defend the bad iPhone 3GS screens? I have seen really many 3GS screens and ALL were inferior to the 3G screen I have. I compared all 3GS screens to my 3G screen and I haven’t found any 3GS screen that was as good as my 3G screen. Period.

Low contrast, yellowish or flat color. Or any combination.

From my experience: 3GS displays = lower display quality compared to 3G.

My week 32 is a close to perfect as I have seen. I had a week 29 that looked like it had been smoking 2 packs a day for 5 years. Butter yellow.
There’s no way to tell what the screen will look like. Just buy it. If its yellow exchange it. You just can’t let them trick you into thinking your screen is normal when its not. If you open up safari and your background is yellow then yours is messed up. But if you keep going back you will get a good one eventually. I had to pay a restoking fee at ATT because there are no apple stores around but it was worth it.

Based on my survey of (5) 3G and (10) 3GS iPhones at the local Apple store, I completely agree. The 3G screens had great contrast with deep blacks and no yellowing. The 3GS screens were more washed out and slightly yellow at the bottom.

Hi

I think some users DO defend it because they ain't actualy seen a bad display! YES there are some displays with a wierd opaque yellow cast over like somethings gone wrong in the process of the screen ive had a few!

I have one i've currently that's got a perfect screen yes it is warmer but no hazy cast but the colours are really punchy and the blacks are great!

Now ive used it for a few days and compared it to my 1st gen ipod touch my ipod touch I thought was amazing looks crap the whites are blue! the 3gs is very natural! and compared to my previous 3gs no yellow haze!

So i think alot tech guys on hear are refering to the warmer whites YES it should have that not a problem but when you get a yellow opauqe one with muted colours and poor blacks they ARE FAULTY! I dont care what anybody says untill you've seen one you cant argue because first off they look normal and ok but get one with a perfect screen and you SEE what your REALLY missing!

Also theres alot of apple followers that make love to there iphone every night and swears blind there all perfect apple could never make one with faults because that dont happen at apple! come on its human made tech and there are mistakes! and there are faulty crappy screens about!

but thats apples problem not people on this forum as I keep getting told but all we doing is getting a rough idea how far spread the problem is and pushing the word! Things never get sorted if were all quiet like the macbooks now have a SD slot cos people moaned! and matte displays!

its about time apple toke notice more!

Cheers

How could a "genius" possibly know that?

I haven't looked through all of the pages but I'm kinda mad. I ordered my iPhone 3G S during the pre-order. We ordered one for my boyfriend from the AT&T store within it's first three weeks of being released. His phone has a very blue tint on his screen and mine has the warmer yellow tint. I don't like the yellow tint at all! Should I call apple and express my concern? Or does anyone think that would even matter? What chance do I have to get a new phone?

btw, can we get these forums to brake these loooooong threads into pages?

Yea, well I didn't have anything to compare it to beside my old 1st generation iPhone. I spoke with apple and they want to send me a refurbished phone. Does anyone know if that phone is worth it? I just kinda hate the idea that I bought a brand new one and there aren't any scratches on it! And if I get the refurbished, it might not be in as good of shape... but it hopefully will not have the yellow tinted screen. Anyone had to get a refurbished phone? If so, how was it?

Only the internal parts of the phone are refurbished, the exterior is new. You won't even know the difference.

Ok, my screen doesnt look hazy or anything, but if i look at it from an angle (mostly when im viewing it from the right side), i notice its really quite yellow. also its more yellow at the bottom. my brother in laws iphone 3GS (same as mine lol) seems like its perfect...not yellow at all. what should i do?

No we are talking about looking staight at it, the screen is yellow. Not from the side. The bad ones have washed out colors and grey blacks. Yours sounds ok to me.
