Of course it should be a big deal. Even the smallest issue you find in it is a big deal. You are paying premium for this device.
I don't buy the software patch. This is a display manufacturing/assembly/calibration issue. The SW patch is just a work around. Not worth my money until they refund and fix the affected units.

AnonD-434295, 24 Apr 2017Sorry but for me that's not acceptable. They Charged $1000 ... moreof course you wouldn't be happy but like every company on earth there is some form of replacement or refund option in place, when your building 25+ million initial orders you cannot possibly inspect every component that goes in to the production process, u can randomly select a few units from a batch of orders lets say hypothetically they might check 100 displays from every batch of 10,000 and test them for defects and they are then signed off, if a few units ship with defective screens for example you have plans in place to refund, replace or fix and in this case samsung have offered 3 options for their defective handsets, this is called life in my opinion, i get your argument but this is automation 101, if we inspect the units by hand then you can guarantee that the cost would be considerably higher due to extra workloads and staff required surely, just my opinion of course

So "anonymous", your comment is exactly what a biased apple fan-boy would say, Each phone has it's advantages and disadvantages. However I would not image someone who thinks of all non-apple devices as bad to consider that fact.

Is easy on the eye and user gets so tired of looking to screen than in fact it saves the battery. : ). Of course is normal for Samsung boy's. If samsung lauched a phone made of human excrements they would buy it. Ahahah. And yes $700 dollars for a phone that has issues out of the box. Even for a $100 dollar phone it would be an issue and not acceptable. And just read a news that has problems charging. This is hilarious. :). Ahhaha

Lot of ppl saying this is a BIG DEAL based on whats written on the internet....how many of you bashers tried and checked out the device at a local store to see if its really an issue?
How many have verified that the red tint actuall exists?
I have checked the demo devices, in multiple stores and havent seen any red tint in any of the devices
Get a life iSheep!!!
