    It only turned up today, but I'm certain, I had this damn defect on my old Nokia N8, lower the brightness the more darker UI components go purple and moving them quickly gives a sort of fade effect.

    Anyone getting this or am I that unlucky?

    Can't they make a screen without a defect anymore -_-"

    It's not a defect... they all do that. The screen has a natural bluish tint to it even when it's turned off.

    It is a defect, I've had Three AMOLED screens, first one had it, badly, second one didn't, some have greenish tint, some have purple, some even have Yellow, it's a Manufacturing issue.

    My Nokia N8 has this, I've done side by side comparisons with N8's, same Software, it's hardware.

    Unless you can compare z30s I don't get how you can say that yours is defective. From my comparison of a few z30, the screens all have that light tint to them. Is it a defect? I don't know but if they all have it... maybe that's how it is supposed to be.
    Definitely not like the clear white and black of an lcd screen though

    It is a different screen type than the Z10. So it might have a different color cast? Have you gone into the Display and altered the Display Color Settings (White Balance)?

    Yes I have this. Most noticeable when scrolling in the CB app where grey changes to black. Mines kind of a purplish maroon color. It doesn't bother me anymore

    I'll just post that when the Z30 is off as well as a comparison Z10 or Passport, the Z30 screen has a (purple...ish?) tint to it. This is the exact same on every Z30 I've seen. My old one before screen was replaced and after, my sister's Z30, etc. I don't think it is a defect if you are describing the same thing.

    I absolutely love the color saturation on the Z30 even though some reviews say it is oversaturated. The Z30 uses a different screen than the Z10/Passport which you seem to be aware. If you are describing this it is not a defect.

    Not sure about yellow or whatever colors you mentioned. I'm just referring to the screen when viewed on an angle compared to other devices with a different screen in decent lighting while off. The Z30 is unique with this as compared to other BB10s, but every Z30 has been identical where it is not a solid black when turned off.

    Edit: Just did a comparison again with the screen off and it is barely noticeable unless the Passport is right next to it then I can clearly see it is not a solid black. Has been the same on the three Z30s I've seen. They all have been exactly the same though with the AMO Z30 screen.

    I think you're seeing differently to what I see on my z30, mine is identical to the Purple Tint issue Nokia AMOLED devices had, it's hard to explain really.

    I still have my N8 with that issue which Nokia confirmed as a defect

    Mine does the same thing. It's the most noticeable in Crackberry, the black lines ghost as purple 1-2 lines above the line being scrolled downwards. Kinda weird, but doesn't cause any issues so it's whatever to me.
