Samsung Galaxy SII widespread screen issue?

Hi guys,

To date (since Saturday when I bought it initially) I've had my hands on four Samsung Galaxy SII models and they all have had a screen defect that appears to be pretty common in that the left side of the screen has a yellowish tinge to it in low light when showing a white or grey screen.

I still have one of the four that was the least affected but still pretty noticeable, the guy in the shop told me to come back during the week because they had no more left...

Has anyone else experienced this?

Nope, never noticed on mine and can't see anything like that now.

Either mine is perfect or else it isn't noticeable enough to bother me. The XDA post links to some other sites that looked at this, one of them being GSMArena, who said:

Some even say, it's not that those units are faulty, it's like that on all Galaxy SII phones. Well, we rolled up our sleeves and went to check ours and report back.
And indeed, upon a really, really close inspection, we noticed that the part of the display in question is slightly darker than the rest of the screen and has a slight yellow tint to it.
To make the effect more prominent in the photo on the left we have flipped the lower half of the screen so the darker and lighter parts are closer by. It's really the best we can do to demonstrate an effect that is pretty hard to see otherwise.

"Really, really close inspection". "slightly darker". "slight yellow tint". "an effect that is pretty hard to see otherwise". It sounds to me that anyone claiming to be affected by this is being pretty anal and is creating a storm in a teacup. IMO, of course.

according to your third link its a software issue that can be corrected by using the chainfire 3d driver...
even then it seems like only a tiny amount of people have had this issue
