Why the Green Tint Display Issue?
The Green Tint issue on the AMOLED display panel is very common in smartphones these days. Though everyone loves to have an AMOLED screen device for better contrast and battery saving, there are some downsides too. So, you can’t escape from this.
However, it’s unfortunate that the newly released budget category OnePlus Nord users are facing this issue. Some of the affected Nord owners are complaining that whenever the screen brightness goes below 25%, the darker parts of the display starts showing tinting issue.
According to the layman’s term, whenever you use a smartphone in a dark environment with the brightness level at around 10-15%, some of the screen portions become green only if any grey or dark themed background is there. As the AMOLED display is known for its crisp and clear darker contrast ratio when black seems more black, users may experience it quite frequently. Meanwhile, we can expect that there may be some manufacturing fault as well during the process of AMOLED display.
Whereas, the company OnePlus has already made an official statement that there is no quality compromisation or durability of the screen whatsoever. The company has also stated that this green tinting issue is one of the characteristics of all OLED displays which can vary in different circumstances. Now, if you’re one of the victims then you should ask how to check this whether your device has the same issue or not. Well, let’s take a look below.
How To Check OnePlus Nord Green Tint Display Issue?
- Make sure you’re in a dark room or wait until night time and then close all the doors/windows to create a dark environment. And turn off lights, of course.
- Then turn on the OnePlus Nord display and enable Airplane mode or Flight mode.
- Next, launch the Google Chrome browser app in the dark mode using a dark theme.
- Visit any website without an internet connection. Yes. Don’t turn on Wi-Fi or Mobile Data.
- So, whenever you visit any website without the internet, it will load a “No internet” screen.
- Now, you have to turn off the ‘Adaptive Brightness’ option.
- Then slide right or left on the screen slowly to increase or decrease the brightness level. Make sure to keep it around 10-20% while checking the screen.
- If there is a manufacturing fault in the display of your handset then you can easily see that the AMOLED panel is exhibiting the green tint or even pink tint on the lower half side of the display.
