Ugly display colors.

Ugly display colors.

I bought this phone today and when i got home and started to look some photos and videos in i noticed that the screen colors are waaay to saturated. Especially orange, they probably boosted orange to make skintones pop more but people look like oempaloepas. There are 3 different colorprofiles in the settings, ugly, uglier and ugliest. The bad screencolors are really a big dissapointment and if i cant change this i have to sell this phone, ita useless for me since i work a lot with video's and images and i need an accurate screen.

Any way to manually tone the colors?

I tryed but didnt had good solutions with it. Its not that i want more green red or blue, i just want less of it. I simply cant believe de developers of this phone made such a horrorible colorprofile. The screen is good so why ruin it with crappy settings which we cant change anyway..

What if you disable this

Settings > display > image enhancement > off

I think Uliwooly is right especially because as far as I know I get that effect on any triluminos display with Bravia mode or enhancement on.

By the way I loved the "ugly, uglier and the ugliest" part Slightly_smiling_Face

With the ugly uglier ugliest part i ment the 3 enhancement options. I already turned it off but still the colors look way off. I showed the screen to a friend of mine, he is like me a graphic designer and he said that the screen looked like his 10 year old nokia because of the colors. I know i am picky about colors but most phonescreens look pretty ok but not this model.

Anyway iam already selling the phone now, to bad, i like the phone but this screen is just unbelievably bad...

But did you guys never noticed the weird colors? Just go to google.com and see how to logo colors look and compare it with a different phone or your computerscreen. Its the same with the playstore app icon, colors are burning so much that it makes things look really flat. So this is what the phone does with photos and videos too. Which is a shame because some people put lots of time in collor correcting movies and photos and then this phone is ruining all this work with a so called extra vibrant screen. I made an animation last month and i wanted to show it to a client yesterday, i was shocked how bad the colors of the animation looked on this phone, it was really ugly and i work with high end calibrated computer screens so i know the animation has right colorvalues.

It'll be interesting for you to take pictures side by side with a different phone.

Are you interested to see those pictures? I compared this phone already wirh different phones and its 1 00% clear for me that this screen has way to much saturation. If somehow i could turn this saturation down then iam ok with the phone. But the 2 other colorprofiles build in this phone have even more saturation.
