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.
This is a decent fix, paired with high contrast. Still not as good as OG vivid, but one thing I noticed is that it has better whites (less of a blue tint).
It's not just the colours if you watch CZcams videos especially 4K hdr footage the S24 is actually a darker image with less brighter highlights less whites and yes less saturated colours
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.

@@TechOdyssey ok wicked I don’t mind the reflective anyway. I was just wondering. does the clarity get affected with the screen protector on. Samsung clear protector did you say ? Thanks
It does. Samsung recommend their protective FILM. This is too expensive and too narrow leaving sharp edges, making it uncomfortable for fingers. It gets appalling reviews.
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!
I ordered an Ailun glass protector from amazon but I haven't tried it yet. I'm not happy to hear that there's a problem with the screen protectors as I see the screen on these, all the fancy glass names notwithstanding, scratch as easily as ever.
Samsung reckon only their protective film (not glass) is ideal for the S24 Ultra. It ain't cheap (@£30) and this is rather sneaky. This film has to be fitted manually and is too narrow leaving uncomfortable edges in use, and it bubbles up too easily. It has awful reviews.
Yeah my s21 ultra looks better than s24u. I tried what you did but looks the same pretty much... I will just get use to it but yeah colors do look faded on the new pup.
Samsung messed up on this one. I got mine Friday and already sent it back today. My s23 ultra looks much better that's my opinion only. Plus Samsung took away the ability to just the brightness of the always on screen. Why would Samsung do that?? I know it seems Petty but it's a big deal to me.
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.
@@morriemariani9646 How much do they want for a new battery? Look into it. The Note 9 is the best phone they ever made. Samsung was still selling them refurbished a couple of years ago. They're probably not anymore, but maybe the Note 10 which some say was the last of the good ones. I don't have the battery problem because I keep it plugged in most of the time. When I don't, tho, the battery is still good. I got the S24 Ultra and I already returned it. The sound quality is so inferior to that of the Note 9. It sounds tinny, and low.
@@morriemariani9646 How much do they want to put in a new battery? I already returned the S24Ultra. The sound quality was so inferior to that of the Note 9, and low too, and the volume control didn't always work either. Samsung was selling refurbished Note 9's a few years ago. They probably aren't any more, but maybe they have the Note 10 which I think was the last of the good ones. Am I being shadow banned or something? I wrote this response before and it vanished.
I really hope so I was looking forward to the s24 Ultra now not so much😢 I don't know what device I can get with a good display I'm stuck using my S9 Plus what's a piece of crap that has so many glitches in it the keyboard keeps freezing up I need a new device I wanted the s24 ultra so bad? can't believe they did that with the display they promised it would be better than last year's
Dude you will be mad coming from the s22 lol the s22 was the last truely colorful phone from samsung. You will compare them and be very dissapointed. We had the same complaints on the s23 ultra you can find it all over people comparing with the s22 uptra and samsung did nothing. This time I don't think they can do much. Especially with the ultra and that new reflective coating on the new glass.
@@reviewforthetube6485 maybe I'll consider buying the s22 ultra even though it has heating issues I want a good screen I'll probably have to go that route no choice
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.
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.
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.👍🏾
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.
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.
I missed my Note 20 Ultra with curve screen with super dark background and super vivid colors. Every time I played the CZcams app, the full screen was really a full screen. This S24U is not giving a full edge to edge on 4k or even 8k mode. Many old apps on Note 20 U, I also missed them.
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.
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..
For me also and i have no problems with the colors, whether in terms of content, icon colors, or watching movies on CZcams of Netflix with HDR+. Just a gorgeous experience!
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
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.
Not sure this will help, but on my s24U, if you long press the wallpaper and then go into those settings, there is a toggle for "dim wallpaper when in dark mode" May be helpful
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.
Something is really off. I'm comparing my S23 Ultra with the S24 Ultra and the S24 Plus. The new screens are awful. All have the same wallpaper. Shame on Samsung.

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
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.
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
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!
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.
Over time, yes. That's what semi to full brightness does. So it'll get burn in eventually down the line if your screens brightness is all the way up frequently. My s20 has burn in. I can s33 the keyboard on certain videos, time and date.
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
The problem here is that the S23, S22 display are too vivid, so when the S24 come with more natural color, people think it's a problem. Just compare it to iPhone display and they're the same color now. We just need to adapt to the display little longer. I find the display on S24 is really good to my eyes. When i had the S23+, i set the color tone to natural. And happy with the S24 color tone now.
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.
That’s tough. Personally I would keep the Fold. I prefer it over the Ultra because of the screen size and tablet functionality. But, the Ultra is a very nice phone
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.

It does. Samsung recommend their protective FILM. This is too expensive and too narrow leaving sharp edges, making it uncomfortable for fingers. It gets appalling reviews.
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!
I ordered an Ailun glass protector from amazon but I haven't tried it yet. I'm not happy to hear that there's a problem with the screen protectors as I see the screen on these, all the fancy glass names notwithstanding, scratch as easily as ever.
Samsung reckon only their protective film (not glass) is ideal for the S24 Ultra. It ain't cheap (@£30) and this is rather sneaky. This film has to be fitted manually and is too narrow leaving uncomfortable edges in use, and it bubbles up too easily. It has awful reviews.
Yeah my s21 ultra looks better than s24u. I tried what you did but looks the same pretty much... I will just get use to it but yeah colors do look faded on the new pup.
Samsung messed up on this one. I got mine Friday and already sent it back today. My s23 ultra looks much better that's my opinion only. Plus Samsung took away the ability to just the brightness of the always on screen. Why would Samsung do that?? I know it seems Petty but it's a big deal to me.
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.
I returned the S 24 ultra and as I always use iPhone and one good android phone , I now ordered the One +12 and also use my iPhone 13 pro
don't answer the door & let them take it back
I'm still on note 9. Incredible phone. Although the battery time has degraded a lot.
@@morriemariani9646 How much do they want for a new battery? Look into it. The Note 9 is the best phone they ever made. Samsung was still selling them refurbished a couple of years ago. They're probably not anymore, but maybe the Note 10 which some say was the last of the good ones.
I don't have the battery problem because I keep it plugged in most of the time. When I don't, tho, the battery is still good.
I got the S24 Ultra and I already returned it. The sound quality is so inferior to that of the Note 9. It sounds tinny, and low.
@@morriemariani9646 How much do they want to put in a new battery? I already returned the S24Ultra. The sound quality was so inferior to that of the Note 9, and low too, and the volume control didn't always work either.
Samsung was selling refurbished Note 9's a few years ago. They probably aren't any more, but maybe they have the Note 10 which I think was the last of the good ones.
Am I being shadow banned or something? I wrote this response before and it vanished.
Thinking of canceling my order but I hope they find a fix for this cause it's disappointing, currently on S22U..
I really hope so I was looking forward to the s24 Ultra now not so much😢 I don't know what device I can get with a good display I'm stuck using my S9 Plus what's a piece of crap that has so many glitches in it the keyboard keeps freezing up I need a new device I wanted the s24 ultra so bad? can't believe they did that with the display they promised it would be better than last year's
I would get the S24 Ultra. I still think the screen is very nice and would be a huge improvement over the S9 for sure
I don’t think it’s a big issue and Samsung is working on addressing it
Dude you will be mad coming from the s22 lol the s22 was the last truely colorful phone from samsung. You will compare them and be very dissapointed.
We had the same complaints on the s23 ultra you can find it all over people comparing with the s22 uptra and samsung did nothing. This time I don't think they can do much. Especially with the ultra and that new reflective coating on the new glass.
@@reviewforthetube6485 maybe I'll consider buying the s22 ultra even though it has heating issues I want a good screen I'll probably have to go that route no choice
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.
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.
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.👍🏾
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.
Does it look better
Wow, okay so that HELLA WORKED !!!!!!I WAS GETTING WORRIED TOO LOL 😅
Glad it helped
I notice the difference on the icons with white backgrounds. Almost like a tinted white on S24 vs true white color on the S23.
What brand of your protection case ? Thanks
Thank you so much. This really helped. Now my screen actually looks nice.
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.
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.
Did the update fix the color issue ?
@@AndrewLLange Somewhat.
I missed my Note 20 Ultra with curve screen with super dark background and super vivid colors. Every time I played the CZcams app, the full screen was really a full screen.
This S24U is not giving a full edge to edge on 4k or even 8k mode. Many old apps on Note 20 U, I also missed them.
Thank you for the tip. Yes it does make a little difference.
Glad it helps some.
Bro, thanks, made a big difference for me.
You're welcome. Glad I could help.
Is it true that Exynos processor faster destroy battery than Snapdragon processor ?
I''m in doubt what to buy, S23 or S24 (exynos).
never buy exenos
What case are you using for your 24 ultra?
I have noticed the same issue on the dull look and I have a fix! Adjust your font and it changes vibrancy.
what font did you change it to?
Are you using adaptive brightness?
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?
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.
Did not work for me😞
@@sagarvandersar Cheers for testing that I'll try and see if it works when I get mine.
thanks looks better with high contrast
Glad I could help
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.
Bout to order my s24 ultra very, very soon.. Ben Samsung since the galaxy s3, so I will be fine with the s24 ultra 😎 😊..
Just turn off "READING MODE" in the brightness and display settings, its actually not a problem, it's an option to counter the reflection problem
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..
For me also and i have no problems with the colors, whether in terms of content, icon colors, or watching movies on CZcams of Netflix with HDR+. Just a gorgeous experience!
This is like a walkthrough for a ps1 game to unlock a secret level or something 😊
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
Deal breaker feature tbh
Yep same here
Did all the models come with a screen protector preapplied?
No. None of them do. At least not in the U.S.
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.
Is the screen noticeably brighter than the s23 ultra both on full ? Thanks
In outdoor brightness yes.
Only in direct sunlight
@@TechOdyssey what about full brightness side by side ? Thanks
@@JohnSmith-ef8nr what about full brightness side by side ? Thanks
Not sure this will help, but on my s24U, if you long press the wallpaper and then go into those settings, there is a toggle for "dim wallpaper when in dark mode"
May be helpful
This help quite a bit! Ty
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.
S24 ultra dull 🤪...shouldn't have to do all that to make the screen look a tad bit better
Maybe it has something to do with the anti-reflective glass
@@Lunarpollo5622 Not when switching from natural to vivid does absolutely nothing...definitely a huge problem on a $1300 phone.
Something is really off. I'm comparing my S23 Ultra with the S24 Ultra and the S24 Plus. The new screens are awful. All have the same wallpaper. Shame on Samsung.
@@wandafull12 I agree,unacceptable on a $1300 phone

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 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
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
I just got my s24 ultra. My screen is messed up It's grey 😢
Sounds like you need to swap it out for another one. Sorry for your bad luck.
Hello im from the past is the screen better now ?? Is it fixed ?
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
Getting mine Wednesday.
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.
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
What case is that?
I see no difference... also the tip to change the font doesn't make a difference either
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!
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.
This somehow messed up colors in some of my apps and nothing would change it back. Took me a while to fix the issue
I'm wondering, though, if this High Contrast setting will mess with the screen over time as far as Oled Burn in!?
Over time, yes. That's what semi to full brightness does. So it'll get burn in eventually down the line if your screens brightness is all the way up frequently. My s20 has burn in. I can s33 the keyboard on certain videos, time and date.
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
It made a difference but I don't think I liked it.
Why does my screen dim in and out? I don't have adaptive brightness on and my brightness is all the way up
Love ya man. Yo vids a8nt in my algo. GREAT TO SEE YA!
The problem here is that the S23, S22 display are too vivid, so when the S24 come with more natural color, people think it's a problem. Just compare it to iPhone display and they're the same color now. We just need to adapt to the display little longer. I find the display on S24 is really good to my eyes. When i had the S23+, i set the color tone to natural. And happy with the S24 color tone now.
Well my s21 ultar is much better looking then my s24 ultar display
I didn't know why when i edit my photo and i added to my Instagram stories it's get washed out and return to orginal again 😡
Natural is the new vivid.
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
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.
That’s tough. Personally I would keep the Fold. I prefer it over the Ultra because of the screen size and tablet functionality. But, the Ultra is a very nice phone
