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

If you have to go to those lengths to observe the defect then its hardly a defect now is it?

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

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?
