Xperia P-warm color tone

[pvish]

Purchased Xperia P on 24th July.. Gave it back to service center yesterday for yellowish toning on display as it shows slightly yellowish tone everywhere( something like warm color toning)
I suspect this is due to whitemagic technology. Anybody experienced the same issue? Is all Xperia P have same problem?

Only at full brightness or at all brightness levels ? At full brightness is normal, all P units show similar behavior.

no..warm color tone n yellowness start slightly decreases as brightness increases..

same issue was there in some Neo V units. maybe related to screen Sony uses.

I only see it at full brightness but for me yellow changes slightly to green
PS: have Xperia P

Update: Just called to service center, asked the status of cellphone.

He told according to them , there is no problem in screen, as they COMPARE my phone with another xperia P , & found that both screens displays colors similarly. So according to them , the display is fine.&
Should I accept this kind of comparison test & take back my phone?? Can software update will resolve the issue?? or should I ask for DOA certificate for replacement. what will be better option?

It's hardware issue, can not be solve by updtes and all.
If they didn't give DOA certificate, better to sell sony phone and get a good phone by HTC or samsung.

Ask for replacement.

In morning talked with service center guy, he told that, please come n take ur phone, as this model comes with only this kind of dispalys.
What should I do if they refuse to replace the hand set?

Convince him to replace as hard as you can, and if they didnt do tell him that he we review this problem through a journalist.
IMO It's better to sell Xperia P for 2-3k less and get a good phone.

When you play a video of something like snow, does it appear yellowish then too? If not, then its perfectly normal. Its got to do with the color temperature of the panel itself. Like AMOLED panels have bluish tint and other screens are reddish and so on.

So if you are only talking about yellowish tint in browser then its perfectly normal. But when watching videos or viewing pics with white color if white appears yellowish then you should get a replacement. If its fine in pics and videos then nothing to worry about.

Even Galaxy S2, S3 have bluish/pink tint. Most phones have such issues you can google for more info. So I would suggest take back the phone and relax if its limited to browser.
Its not a "fault" per se but normal behavior of the panel.


And yes if the yellowish tint is visible while playing videos/viewing photos as well then I suggest you make a post on Sony India Facebook Page ( Sony India NOT Sony Mobile India) they will get your problem solved

yeah.. Yellow/warm tone is clearly visible while watching pics n vid with white background.
