iPhone 3G S has yellowish tint

I just got my iPhone 3G S today and noticed that it has a distinctly yellowish tint to the screen. Doesn't matter what app I am using, and I've tried adjusting the brightness with no success.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

15" Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.6), iPhone 3G S

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

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.

Hello,

just curious... where is the message from pradeep83 gone that he posted at Sep 14, 2009 1:26 AM about his bad experience with the Apple Store @Carlsbad?

Has anyone else read it?

Posts here are coming up lesser frequently. Is the yellow tint issue ended?

I just received mine. And it clearly has a yellow tint. It's week 38 from factory 88. So actually quite new - i think i'll get it replaced

Here's a possible fix. It doesn't work for everyone. And yes, you must be JB. But if you are, then take a look: http://macthemes2.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16798353
