X2 Screen colors off?

[Wholesomeflame]

I noticed this when playing Angry Birds that the yellows and browns seemed distorted. I further researched this by looking up a picture of pikachu on my mom's phone (the incredible 2) and my phone.

I also went into store, and it was the same for their display model. Anyone else getting this?

It could because of the PenTile display that Motorola has started using since the Atrix. You can read more about the review on AnandTech http://www.anandtech.com/show/4165/the-motorola-atrix-4g-preview/4

I don't do games on my X2, but right off the bat, I've noticed a "blue" feel to the screen. What I've noticed wouldn't be called distortion.

The screen is getting mixed reviews. Some hate it, some, like myself, like it, but notice some odd things about it. Overall, I like it a lot, especially outdoors.

It goes on videos too. Allt he yellows look really dumbed down. There's no way to fix this?

As of this point in time there are no known issues reported for the screen color.  Thank you.

I would guess it is do to the new screen size, most apps are not optimized doe resolution, kind of like going from 800x600 to 1024 x 768 on a desktop, the 800 x 600 usually have brighter color but 1024 x 768 will have better quality do to the pixel compression. 

Also if the new display uses 16 Bit verses 32 Bit to improve refresh access time this could cause color differences.
