        At least it is not bluish display. Eyes would burn in using it on bed, when lights turned off

          Enough is enough Sam think of other ways to pull our money out of us poor customers, what the heaven? 1000 bucks and we will be praised and prized by an Amored instead of Amoled?

            I'm not a Samsung hater, but I don't like bad quality controls or bad costumer service... And this company is showing both! It looks like since de Note 7 failure they only concern about marketing and profit (and to wash out the scandal of corruption and bribes). The S8 is with no doubt a NO-NO for me. From the odd fingerprint reader position to all the issues that the devices are showing in such a short period of time (the latest is related with the wireless charging) plus deliberatly lying about the headphones (just branded and calibrated by AKG) the sum of all is really dissapointing. And that's just what's related to the S8... Because the A 2017 serie have some issues too and Samsung don't even bother in addressing the problems. As a Samsung device owner, I'm VERY dissapointed.

              still no definitive testing on this issue. i still think this is just some consumers are used to and still using cheap displays (laptop, TVs) with bluish tint.

                At this point Samsung should just say meh to AMOLED and move onto their new Quantum Dot displays.

                    Samsung thinks we're all stupid. This is just another example of poor mfg QC on Samsung's part. If went through three S8's in one week and now back to my iPhone 7 plus. Samsung blew it big time.

                        I don't believe Amoled in the future. Up until now IPS panels are the best.

                          If they re smart, they ll turn away from that deal all together.

                              In my opinion this is a weak excuse from Samsung, do not misunderstand me, I am a fan of Samsung. If you look at the pictures, you can see that even on one screen there is a colour difference. Strange, very strange. Maybe it would be better if Samsung would have chosen a different screen type.

                                  Simon, 27 Apr 2017IPS will never be more accurate than OLED due to backlight.... moreTell me how the AMOLED display show a grey color in a small dimensional, how many organic light should light up to complete a grey color? While for the white page, the black font show the most contrast just like a 'Black hole' is it more comfortable for reading? No.

                                        "Users can optimize the color depending on their preferences." Blatant lie! Yet expected. This problem has been there for years. Simply passing defective panels to save costs.
