hey ppl i had bought s2 on 9th n i found that yellow tint in the above page mentioned and alos in notification in s2,
it was on d bottom left side.
and one more shockin thing, when u reduce ur brightness to low n u capture some images of white surface or u click pictures of road in sunlight u ll find some pink spots in d center.
and this defect is almost in all s2.
it was also in the demo whic was in the samsung store,
to see the defect all u hav to do is low down ur brightnes,
go to camera, click some pics of white surface closely or take so pics of road in day time n then increase the brightness and see those images whic u hav clickd,
u wil definatly finds some pink spots in it.
i found both the defects yellow tint n pink spots and dey replaced my s2 and told me to wait for some better soln for that defects.
sorry for bad eng :(

I have my SGS2 for approx. 1 month. I used your test page to see if my cell has the above problem(with different brightness setting, from the lowest to the brightest)...well there are 2 conclusions:
1.Either I have sight problems because I don't see anything. Even with very, very, very close inspection I don't see it
2.My phone has no problems.

Got my hands on the SGS2 last week. Yellow tint was common, i thought. But my phone had other display defect, a dark ring like shadow on the bottom of the screen. Got that replaced and now a white spot.....What the toot? I expect them to bring awesome devices and they just bring it no matter what they have to sacrifice(quality). I guess inorder to meet the huge demand they have been doing this. BTW my friend who bought this phone upon my advice doesnt have such problems..I checked his..I am gonna take my 2nd S2 tomorrow for a claim, GOD knows whats gonna happen next...A word of advice for the people at SAMSUNG, please add a "QUALITY CONTROL DEPT." at your manufacturing plants :P

Um I wouldn't laugh at any issues with Samsung phones because they sell parts to Apple - to the tune of 5.7 billion (2010).

why worry about the screen having or not having a slight tinge on the screen when displaying a 'neutral grey' background anyway? everything else on it looks fantastic! if you need to view neutral grey backgrounds, you may as well stare at a wall

Rug, 07 Jun 2011I have the same effect, but it seems to be a burn-in effect... moreYeah, I would also like to see how Super AMOLED preforms on the long run.
On XDA and other formus some users posted that they have a burn-out effect on their SGS. I also own a SGS and didn't notice any burn-out effect, but it doesn't mean it's out there.
I really don't want to have a 2 year old phone with a noticable burn-out effect!
Happily there are custom ROMs with custom dark themes that can postpone or even prevent the burn-out effect (I hope!).

I know what the problem is, quite simple really.
It's a Samsung.
Why do people keep expecting Samsung to release anything that is faultless? LoL. See you all in 6 months when your phones start to malfunction completely. LoL

(just my opinion, but when Nokia tells me that there is a KNOWN and COMMON fault with their N8 but refuses to recall them, I get a little unhappy with them)

I have the same effect, but it seems to be a burn-in effect of yellow areas (comparable to white on plasma TV's). I can see the same pattern there, as i have on my start screen.
Is this is the reason, we need to see how super AMOLED behaves on a long term basis.

this is great, when somebody says galaxy s2 has display issue, gsmarena jumps in and posts it, people with purple tint on N8 are(were) crying from one year - there was no post from gsmarena, what could be the reason friends?
