Hi,

When I load up my browser I can see that all white colours are tainted blue. Take Google for example, the whole screen is a whitey blue colour. When i go to close the browser is quickly reverts to a standard white colour before closing...... weird huh!

Any fix?

Thanks!
Jake
 
The blue-ish hue is a well known problem with Super AMOLED display, due to its pentile pixel arrangement. A lot of people had complained about this issue. I believe there are option in the S3 to make the screen less saturate, try this option see if it makes any different
 
See the attachment if your screen is like this ;)

Jake I think you'll find when your in the browser if you touch setting (bottom left of phone) and scroll the options that come up there is brightness and colours option. Change these to your liking

Can you take another pic viewing the screens from straight on? The off angle pic shows the off angle blue hue that SAMOLED's often/always exhibit (dependent on device). They'll still sometimes have a blue hue anyways, but off angle it is much more prominent
 
Do the different color profiles help with this at all? Could anyone post pictures similar to the attachment Itsme posted, with the "standard", "natural", "dynamic", and "movie"?
 
IMHO the screen on my mate's Galaxy S3 isn't blue at all, not until you put it next to a LCD display - HTC One X. Normal day to day use you'd never notice the screen is actually blue-ish. As @Jbdan mentioned above the issue worsen only when you tilt the screen or look at it at an angle.

I attached a couple more pictures compare between the screen of HOX and S3, as you can see in the second attachment the screen on the S3 almost doesn't have the blue hue (if you focus on the S3 itself - cover the HOX with your palm or something :D) The second attachment is from PhoneArena, this is a straight on angle, you can see the hue but he got auto brightness on so I'd take it with a pin of salt ;)

If you cover up the HTC phone, the Samsung still looks blue to me.

Am I going blind, or does it actually look magenta?

I'm also curious whether the display settings (warm, etc.) help alleviate the natural blue tint of AMOLED? This is the one thing I'm very concerned about having ordered the phone sight unseen.
 
There is a definite blue hue to the S3 but the One X screen looks yellowish to me. Given the choice I'll take the blue! :)
 
It's worth noting that only the eyes of the beholder will be able to discern whether or not the screen will be satisfactory to them. Also worth noting is the white balance of the camera doing the picture taking (and ambient light source). Again, another factor is your screen/monitor you are viewing these pictures on. Really need to see for yourselves, in person, if it's going to work for you
