Seeing a green tint on your RealMe 16 screen can be alarming, especially when it affects videos, photos, or everyday scrolling. The display may look fine at first, then suddenly show a greenish hue, often at low brightness or in dark scenes. This issue is usually related to display settings, software behavior, or panel calibration, and in most cases, it can be reduced or fixed without repairs.
Why Your RealMe 16 Has a Green Tint on the Display
- Display color calibration is set incorrectly.
- Low brightness levels trigger OLED color shifting.
- Eye comfort or night display features are active.
- A recent software update caused display tuning issues.
- The panel shows uniformity limitations common on OLED screens.
Adjust Display Color Settings
Color calibration directly affects how colors appear on your screen. If the tone is skewed toward green, adjusting these settings can balance the display.
Open Settings, and then tap Display.
Tap Screen color mode, and choose a different color profile.
Switch between Vivid and Natural, then select the one that looks more balanced.
Turn Off Eye Comfort and Night Display
Eye comfort features add a color filter to reduce eye strain. Sometimes this filter causes a visible green tint, especially in darker environments.
Open Settings, and then tap Display.
Tap Eye Comfort or Night display, and turn the feature off.
Lock the screen and check if the tint is gone.
Increase Screen Brightness
OLED panels can show uneven colors at very low brightness levels. Increasing brightness slightly often reduces or completely removes the green tint.
Swipe down from the top of the screen to open Quick Settings.
Drag the brightness slider up to a higher level.
Check the display again in dark and light screens.
Disable Adaptive Color or Display Enhancements
Some display enhancements adjust colors dynamically based on content or lighting. These adjustments can introduce a green hue under certain conditions.
Open Settings, and then tap Display.
Tap Display enhancements or Adaptive color, and turn them off.
Restart the phone and recheck the screen.
Restart the Phone
A simple restart refreshes display drivers and clears temporary glitches. This step is quick and often overlooked, but it can make a noticeable difference.
Swipe down to open Quick Settings, and then tap the Power icon.
Tap Restart, and wait for the phone to boot up.
Check if the green tint still appears.
Check for Software Updates
Manufacturers often release updates to improve display calibration. Installing the latest update can fix known screen tint issues.
Open Settings, and then tap Software update.
Tap Check for updates, and install any available update.
Restart the device after the update completes.
Green tint issues on the RealMe 16 are usually tied to software or display tuning rather than hardware failure. With the right adjustments, the screen should return to a more natural and comfortable look.
FAQs
Is the green tint on RealMe 16 a hardware problem?
Not always. In many cases, it is caused by display settings or software behavior, especially at low brightness levels.
Why is the green tint more visible in dark mode?
OLED screens can show color shifts in darker tones. Dark mode and low brightness make these shifts easier to notice.
Should I get the screen replaced if the tint remains?
If the green tint is present at all brightness levels and settings changes do not help, contacting a service center is recommended to check for a panel issue.
