I know the 3g has a slightly yellow tinge but this was an attempt to get the phone closer to what is more acceptable rather than the cool computer monitor look. I like it personally.

Ok thanks Dan... Back to the shop Mon then!

Do you think all the new phones are like this then Lance? Some people are saying they can't see a difference so mine must surely be faulty?

Try a full restore to factory settings as mentioned on this thread

iPhone 3G Yellow Screen Issue - Mac Forums

EDIT - bad link - just noticed that link is from the 3G from last year.

This is the link you want http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=726743

Seems to be a repeating problem.

Mine has the blue tinge or 'cool', my 3G has the yellow or 'warm' tinge.

I prefer the yellow myself.

poppitypop · 20-06-2009, 11:23 AM

BTW I cannot remember where I saw it but I read yesterday that the yellow tinge is intentional and supposed to give a warmer colour, easier on the eyes and better viewing in sunlight.

If this is intentional then you are stuck with it.

Yep - other thread has Washington Post take on it here;

Poor contrast on the 3GS

It seems to be a "feature" of the new screens they use... there is a massive difference between my 3GS and 2g handsets

LanceR · 20-06-2009, 5:23 PM

It's called D65 I believe I've set my TV using this standard some find it hard to get used to at first because as I mentioned before they prefer the cooler PC screen look me I prefer warmer so i have no problem with the 3G or 3GS screen.

LanceR · 20-06-2009, 5:25 PM

If you read 3 paragraphs down in the link it explains D65 now I know the link doesn't pertain to the iPhone but apparently apple went that way with there screen config.
