If your vivo S50 screen suddenly looks green, dull, or slightly tinted, you are not alone. A green tint can make whites look dirty and videos look unnatural. In most cases, this issue is caused by display settings, software glitches, or color calibration problems, not hardware failure.
Before assuming the screen is damaged, try the fixes below.
Why Your vivo S50 Has a Green Tint
- Night mode or Eye protection mode is turned on.
- Color temperature or display calibration is misconfigured.
- Software glitch after an update.
- Third-party apps adjusting screen colors.
- AMOLED panel color shift at low brightness levels.
Adjust Color Temperature and Display Mode
Incorrect color calibration is one of the most common causes of a green tint. Changing the display mode can immediately restore natural colors.
Open Settings, and then tap Display and brightness.
Tap Screen color, and then switch between Standard and Professional modes.
Adjust the color temperature slider slightly toward warm or cool and check the screen again.
Turn Off Eye Protection Mode
Eye protection mode reduces blue light, but it can sometimes create a yellow or greenish tint. If it is enabled, your screen may not display accurate colors.
Open Settings, and then tap Display and brightness.
Tap Eye protection, and then toggle it off.
Lock and unlock the screen to see if the tint disappears.
Disable Dark Mode
Dark Mode can interact with AMOLED displays in certain brightness conditions, causing color shifts. Turning it off helps determine if it is affecting your screen.
Open Settings, and then tap Display and brightness.
Tap Dark mode, and then switch it off.
Check if whites and grays return to normal.
Increase Screen Brightness
AMOLED panels sometimes show a green tint at very low brightness levels. Raising the brightness slightly can reduce or eliminate the tint.
Swipe down from the top to open Control Center.
Adjust the brightness slider upward, and then observe the screen color.
Test the display in different lighting environments.
Restart Your Phone
Temporary system glitches can affect display rendering. A simple restart refreshes display drivers and system services.
Press and hold the Power button, and then tap Restart.
Wait for the phone to reboot, and then check if the tint remains.
Check for Software Updates
Software updates often fix display calibration bugs. Installing the latest version ensures your system is optimized.
Open Settings, and then tap System update.
Tap Check for updates, and then install any available update.
Restart the phone after installation.
If the green tint remains after trying all these fixes, the issue could be related to the display hardware. In that case, visiting an authorized service center is the safest option. However, most green tint problems on the vivo S50 are resolved through simple display adjustments.
