It's not just the colours if you watch KZfaq videos especially 4K hdr footage the S24 is actually a darker image with less brighter highlights less whites and yes less saturated colours

After putting vivid turn up warmth all the way. Then go to advanced settings adjust blue and green to medium. It helps a little more to look more warm toned than cool toned. It doesn't look as washed out. The eye comfort setting also washes out the colors.

There are so many useful things in Dev options that they really should make easily available. Like the ability to force unsupported apps into a dark mode (though i wish it didn't reset jtself on reboot). You can also spped up the phone animations and make the whole phone feel a lot snappier.

The problem I'm having with mine is that the color or display is really dull. Even the icons' color is not as vivid as my older samsung. I have tried your instructions on your video, but it is still the same issue. Any advice. Thank you

Wow, it worked. Contrast is much better now. Thank you!

I had figured that the first day I got my device as the first thing i do enable developer opinions. Another interesting thing is this is why i say is a bug, if you try to change the setting with set edit and add the other color modes by editing the global table it won't change . It will give an error, when usually with the s23 ultra does work . Some I guessing there is something buggy there that is not letting it change. I have ny contract set to high.

Apart from washed out colors, I'm seeing a grainy texture on the screen, specially on low brightness. Can you confirm if you see some weird grainy texture too in low brightness, or is something wrong with my particular device (24u)?

Not sure if you've covered it already but can you do a video about reducing the idle battery drain without missing notifications. Love your videos, keeping it basic in terms of editing and just being a really cool guy, ty 👍

While you’re in developer options change your animations to .5 and your phone will be even snappier than it already is.

Yup fixed it more than half way! THANK YOU

I can't remember if you created a video about the magnetic cases or not that don't affect the s pen. I'm trying to find a nice magnetic case, but haven't had the chance to just buy a few to try. I think UAG has a few good ones that seem to work with magsafe like products, but I don't know if it's the best.

The main problem with my S4 Ultra Display was not not the lack of brightness of the colours, but what was much more important and more serious was the fact, that the colour grading, especially in the darkmode with the greyish background was very uneven . There were like newspaper parts that weren't clear, but like more like mud, little yellowish ,little red ,little green shine, very very dull and even hurting my eyes. I can't imagine to have a phone that I want to specially use for writing and editing texts and reading as such problems won't. I pre-ordered it already on the 17th january in the evening with a really good price from the German Samsung onlineShop, but only three days after it was delivered to me, I sent it back because of this serious problem.

Thank you for the tip. If Samsung execs have common sense they will make an official announcement about this issue tomorrow (launch day) or quietly release a day 1 fix, either way it must be officially addressed.

This fixed my phone watching KZfaq videos. All my videos were dark/dem until I changed that. Thank you

I enquired about the S23 ultra today as I'm thinking of giving back my S24 plus with the unfortunate exynos chip. Surprisingly, the 512g costs more than the S24 ultra 512g. The battery seems trash already with this exynos and multitasking works much better on WiFi. 5g and 4g packed up yesterday and couldn't open Google feed etc. It also got very hot. Had to restart it. This happened twice. I like the design of this and thought I'd give the exynos a chance but let down. My gut is telling me to get the S23 ultra over the S24 ultra. I think the only advantage with the S24 is the length of support and resale value. Not fussed with the slight curve on S23. Also tomorrow is last day for the double your storage deal. Need to get this right ✅️

Love ya man. Yo vids a8nt in my algo. GREAT TO SEE YA!

What case are you using for your 24 ultra?

I don't notice any difference with high contrast. But not bothered in general. I can see it's not as contrasty but don't care.

I'm not gonna lie , for me, this is a non issue and absolutely no reason to not buy the phone , especially as by accident I'd toggled natural mode on for my Tab S9 and didn't feel like i was missing anything and the colours were even more tame than on my 24U . If it gets fixed in an update, all well and good but I have very colourful wallpapers and icons that don't seem to be as affected as the stock icons and all my content , videos and photos etc still look mint . And this is coming from using the 23U with vivd mode enabled for the last year .

His little Easter egg guys do you know why you tap on the build number seven times well this was implemented when the Nexus seven tablet was introduced to the world so that's why you tap on the developer build seven times

Are you using adaptive brightness?

What brand of your protection case ? Thanks

Thank you so much. This really helped. Now my screen actually looks nice.

Good Catch! I was about to return my 512g S24 Ultra but I can tell a difference on Instagram & other social media sites.. 🤟

I see you've gone Flossy Carter on us, with the first person camera mode!

It is a bug that the display icons are washed out. When i pull down to show notifications, (regardless of contrast) the S24 U wins over S21U - so in notifications the colors pop but on homescreen not - unfortunatelly we have to wait for a fix

I appreciate you saying it may help "some". i have a different fix but just like you, the colors do not fix. you can even see this in your video at the end, the Samsung Photo Gallery is still Not true red. We need Samsung here to fix the issue for the millions of $1400 beta testers. :-(

This seems to be an S24 Ultra-only issue, as my regular S24's screen is completely fine. A small thing that I did notice when comparing it to my S23 is that white text doesn't really look white, but has green/pink-ish hue. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.

Your google play system update is on July 1, 2023. It needs updating

My S24U will arrive today, but I will return it instantly because of this isssue. A 1400 Euro phone has to be perfect out of the box, no discussion!

Got my s24 ultra at 4:35 pm here enjoying it a lot

I have an s21 Fe and when I am on vivid and attempt to adjust the white balance there is no difference. It's an across-the-board issue with Samsung's software. You can switch from natural to vivid on the fe but the white balance slider does not work anymore.

I notice the difference on the icons with white backgrounds. Almost like a tinted white on S24 vs true white color on the S23.

Question: The AOD clock colors only work for a certain clock style. It's not working for all of them. Do you know what the issue is?

It does look better. In my opinion. Thanks for the tip.🧐

I really hope this is a software issue. However I have a terrible feeling it's hardware issue, perhaps related to the anit-reflective screen layer because there is still a slight difference between Vivid Mode and Natural Mode, just not as pronounced as on the S23 Ultra and S22 Ultra. Who knows, maybe the natural mode on the S24 Ultra is more saturated in comparison for whatever reason hence the slight difference. It's a mystery at this point. Samsung should acknowledge this issue by now as it's wide spread and either issue a fix if possible or an explanation.

This is like a walkthrough for a ps1 game to unlock a secret level or something 😊

I need your help in the setting off my phone samsung s24 ultra. On home screen I don't have the home screen layout,home screen grid,apps screen grid and folder grid.

that screen protector looks like it adds the reflective back on haha

For me, i have no problems with the colors, whether in terms of content, icon colors, or watching movies on KZfaq of Netflix with HDR+. The colors are very beautiful on his display and just a gorgeous experience! Don't forget that Galaxy S24 Ultra has one of the best display in the world. But your device wants JUST to sit at WQHD+ and enjoy it.

I just changed my wallpaper from one of the default interactive wallpapers to a bright of my motorcycle and it seems to have done the. I don't know if it's something within the system or not but since I have changed my wallpaper to a bright, daylight picture, I haven't noticed it.

I got my S24 Ultra last Friday and holding it next to my old S22 ultra, it was extremely obvious the S24 screen isn't as saturated. Colors are way more vivid on the older screens. But the S24 is a lot smoother with its refresh rate.

Just got my s24 yesterday and can't get it to watch youtube videos full screen without two bars on each side taking up space. Tried fixes online, but nothing is working.

You think that case makes is bulky try the spigen tough armor case 😅. Best case too me even better then the uag cases that I've had.

I upgraded to the s24 ultra from pixel 6 pro. I liked the pixel a lot but I miss the S pen and Dex. Is there any way to get color notifications with the always on display? Mine were colored on my Note 20 Ultra. Don't know if it is something I'm missing or if they were removed with one UI update

I have pre-ordered this. I don't know if this screen issue(?) would affect me. Coming from a 7year old phone (Lenovo P2) But yeah, thanks for sharing.

So I just received my S-24U today, and I have my S-23U side by side. Of course there is saturation difference. But overall I'm happy with my new device. On one hand, I think the S-24U's display might be easier on the eyes over the S-23U. Samsung is suppose to be adding a vivid mode toggle in the near future, but other than that. I'll stick with my S-24U, the flat display is a welcome change for me, and it feels a little snappier.👍🏾

After seeing this issue, I'm glad that I went with the OnePlus 12 which costs a fraction of the S24 Ultra (at least here in Canada)!

Has anyone noticed the little lines across the screen when you're on low brightness? Particularly in black or dark colors

Is it true that Exynos processor faster destroy battery than Snapdragon processor ? I''m in doubt what to buy, S23 or S24 (exynos).

Wow, okay so that HELLA WORKED !!!!!!I WAS GETTING WORRIED TOO LOL 😅

Man it kills hearing about this with the Ultra because just today I was upgrading from my S10 to the S24 plus at T-Mobile and I almost got the ultra

Thank you for the tip. Yes it does make a little difference.

I read this also affects the s24 and s24 plus. Im about to order my s24 plus but now im worried about it not being as colorful as my s23. I actually own a pixel 8 as well but the dull colors is what makes me not make the full switch to pixel.

I'm wondering, though, if this High Contrast setting will mess with the screen over time as far as Oled Burn in!?

I just traded my Fold 5 for the S24 ultra, and the brightness and contrast on the Fold 5 is much better. Quite a difference, but that was only after an update, so we should get an update for the S24 Ultra soon to fix this hopefully

If you have any information on a fix with my mobile games auto closing & crashing please let me know!?. 2 games in particular that crashing on me frequently since I got the phone are "Nikke" & "Pokémon Go". It's been a really frustrating experience so far! Thanks!

Bro, thanks, made a big difference for me.

Oled/ amled displays have a problem with blue pixel I think Samsung have improved blue pixel but forgot to reduce voltage so blue is now to high

Getting mine Wednesday.

I'm having 2nd and 3rd thoughts about accepting it. Maybe i'll just keep my old reliable Note 9 and wait until they come out with genuine improvements, like Huawei - satellite calls and authentically strong glass not just fancy names.

Did all the models come with a screen protector preapplied?

Bout to order my s24 ultra very, very soon.. Ben Samsung since the galaxy s3, so I will be fine with the s24 ultra 😎 😊..

I got mine today and noticed it right away. Im a screen snob so clarity and brightness prime. Ive had a note 20 ultra since it was released and i love it. I put bothe phones side by side and the Note looked alot better which I must say disapointed me. Lets see if this will improve it.

well this display in combination with adaptive color mode gives you the most accurate ever done (not necessarily) the most eye pleasing experience , so for people who seeks a very accurate display not eye candy like previous s series displays thats your pick , imagine that this display changes color white balance highlights and shadows to give the most accurate colors under any ambient lightnings! ,, next update they will add a slider to make it eye candy 🍬 as you want but for many ppl including me , seeing natural acurate colors are more important than vibrancy , i wanna also mention that if you played a 4k hdr video over youtube or netflix this is the most epic display that gonna feast your eyes with visuals specially with its antireflective feature..

Deal breaker feature tbh

The screen is really bue. Why is Samsung going for this Xperia style color scheme? I know the studio lights play some role but still.

Not a single tech guy told us when they had chance before everyone else because they don't want to upset Samsung for not losing Samsung's incentives, promotions etc. We can not trust tech guys,influencer. This is a big lesson for everyone. All those are reviews are not true, because when you hold the phone it is obvious that display is dull, colors are gone

Is the screen noticeably brighter than the s23 ultra both on full ? Thanks

Anyone find a tempered glass screen protector that works with the fingerprint sensor on the s24 Ultra? Tried the one from ESR but it didn't work, looking for suggestions!

Right now I have contrast set to number 3. When the Vividness Update comes out Tuesday I'm going to put it back at 1 default just to be safe.

This somehow messed up colors in some of my apps and nothing would change it back. Took me a while to fix the issue

Do you know to make the sound better

I ordered it, it has still not arrived but watching all this, also saw camera tests, still changing the colors. I think i will stay with my 15 pro max, at least the color calibration is the one i want and the photos it takes are more real

Thinking of canceling my order but I hope they find a fix for this cause it's disappointing, currently on S22U..

Try that on my Pixel 8pro and I love it!

How do you feel about the S24 Ultra compared to the Z Fold 5? I find it hard to give up the Fold, even with the extra features of the S24 Ultra so I will probably return it instead of trading in my Fold 5.

does this effect battery life?

thanks looks better with high contrast

Thanks TechOdyssey!

Try the MagEZ Case 4 by PITAKA. Super nice case and very thin. Best one I've seen. If anyone else knows of any like the PITAKA cases let me know, as I've not seen any as thin

Yes this work, thanks

It look a little better now.!!!🎉

Thanks this helped

Maybe they've improved the display as if it's not overly vibrant and more natural looking?

You have a solution how to make the fingerprint highly sensitive, the thing is my screen protector make my s24 ultra become less sensitive and as such, i have to press to unlock the screen. Sometimes it works most of the time, no

I thought that I was the only that have the problem, the color is washed out & the vivid didn't any vivid color like previous series. I've tried your method, it's just barely vivid, let's just hope that samsung aware of this problem

You need to go in notification panel swipe to, turn off dim.

I have never used a screen protector on my phone and don't ever plan to. The only time I ever used a screen protector per se was when I purchased a phone and the place I got the phone from sold me liquid glass you put a few drops of it on your screen spread it around and let it dry and it makes sure glass extra hard but my current phone I don't have a screen protector on it and I've had the phone for 2 years and the screen is scratch free

Here we have two problems 1 color saturation is very pour and first time ever on Amoled Samsung phone colors are washed-up 2 this is very important! Brightness of this phone i double lower than on s23 ultra, white color is like mudy not cristal white I have both s23 ultra and s24 ultra and brightness on s24 is on same level like on s23 when you turning off extra brightens in screen settings but if you turn it on then s23 is exploding with light. What is crazy s 24 have same switch but pushing it on helps just a little. Same thing is with clanging color saturation in settings, in s23 we see big changes when we switch from normal to vivid but in s24 changes are minimal. Looks like Samsung f up for some reason brightness and saturation levels. This thing is so much noticeable for everyone so make me thinking that they did it on purpose for some reason, it cant be a mistake, someone decided to set phone on this settings. I cant believe that they miss it out! Changing all settings in phone didn't solve the problem, it cheat your eye for moment but when you have both phones together than you cant full your self anymore.

how you can watch videos on full screen on this phone on yt for example?

I put like 8k videos in KZfaq and my s20 fe looks wayyyyy sharper and better then this ultra s24 😢,either I wait for a patch or return it, what are you guys doing?

Nice video

Why does my screen dim in and out? I don't have adaptive brightness on and my brightness is all the way up

Natural is the new vivid.

Apparently a Reddit user found another way of fixing the washed out colours i haven't tried it yet still waiting for my S24 Ultra to turn up but if you Go to General Management-> Reset -> Reset all settings Then "Reset accessibility settings" in the same menu. This won't affect your installed apps or signed in accounts. It's not the same as a factory reset, which would prompt you to restore your previous phone's settings again.

No problem here it is little less vibrant as usual but no issue for me. Software fix will do it.

Seeing your screen protector on your S23 Ultra specially on the front facing camera is quite a OCD moment for me. LMAO!

Lol the vivid mode on the previous galaxys is actualy OVERsaturated when compared to my calibrated oled monitor. People are just used to "fake" colors and automaticaly assume its worse when in fact its more accurate now. It would be nice however if samsung included a 3rd setting for those who really cant live without overblown colors. I hope they dont just change this vivid setting to what it was on my s10 plus because on natural there is no way to change the whitebalance.

I see a small difference on mine, thank you
