The only thing thats letting me down is the yellow band, i cant stop looking for it and it just annoying me, ive opened a ticket at OPO probably will take ages to respond and then tell me i cant have a replacement, to which then i dont know what ill do.

Can't really see it from your photos but I know its there

Here was my Z1 left and Nexus 4 right.

Z1 screen wasn't white and had a cream looking screen!

I really hope I don't have this with the 1+.

Got mine in the post today from aliexpress. It took 7 days in total. I can't tell if there is a slight yellow band on mine or maybe it's just me looking to heard after reading about it here

i think you will, the oneplus has a warm colour temp for the screen (you can adjust it though)

Actually the One+ doesnt have a warm colour temp anymore, my phone is a much brighter cleaner white than my S4, its been updated. However the yellow band is at the bottom 20% of my screen and just scrolling facebook, oneplus forums and anything white/grey its more than noticeable and frustrating the phone is pretty much perfect apart from that.

Unfortunately the UV lamp doesn't cure it. I had my OPO for a total of 4 hours over the past few days under a uv lamp and the annoying yellow stain is still there. I thought I could look past it but I can't.
I doubt I'll be able to return it and selling it is going to be tricky so I guess I'm stuck with the phone.

I hear what you're saying I'm in the same boat and it's very frustrating. I've turned the on screen buttons on just so I don't have to see the ghastly yellow band but deep down I know it's there and knowing that it sucks. Am most annoyed.

Is it on all screens or just luck of the draw?

OPO say its on all and its due to the positioning of the LEDS at the bottom. Loads of people are complaining about it on the forums, more than not. However some people on the forums and Youtube like credible reviewers dont have the problem.

Aint doing that as it has my pending order on there!

joelk2 · 28 Jul 2014 at 23:01

buy another one and sell it on?

Dangerous · 28 Jul 2014 at 23:03

Prefer to share it out. I'll see if family or friends want it as that will make it easier for me to buy it and they can't just pay me the cost.

i was refering to this which they posted on their forums.

Yellowish Hue

The yellowish hue that the screen gives off stems from three factors.

First, most display suppliers, in our case JDI (Apple’s iPhone displays supplier), have different factories. Depending on the factory and the batch, the temperature of the screen will vary slightly. We are very strict with our Quality Controls and our screen temperatures are very similar within different batches.

However, this temperature discrepancy exists for most expensive devices in the market, such as the iPhone 5s, the Nexus 5, and the HTC One, despite their strict quality control measures (some examples below).

Second, we deliberately chose a warm IPS screen from JDI because warmer screens display skin tones more accurately in addition to being better for gaming, watching movies, and reading.

Third, the latest update of CM 11S is calibrated to enhance this “warmness” in order to display more realistic colors and avoid fatigue when reading text with white backgrounds.

With the latest software update you can adjust your screen’s hue manually, via Settings > (under Device) Display & Lights > (under Advanced Settings) Screen Color > Custom > Hue.
