I recently received the Rog 2 Indian unit, and while tinkering with the brightness I found something weird, that is if I set the brightness from 0-50% the dark grey Colors (like the ones used in google apps for dark mode, and the dark grey color used in the notification bar of the Rog if the system theme is set to dark)
The dark grey Colors at lower brightness (i.e from 0-50%) seems to be reddish.
Below I have attached two pics, take of the Rog 2.
The app used was inshorts (in its dark mode) the one with dark grey color is the real color of the app seen above 50% brightness and the other reddish tint is seen from 0% brightness.
P.s it's not the wallpaper or any specific app it happens with any wallpaper, any app which uses the dark grey color(like google photos, Goole play store dark etc.) and it can be seen at lower brightness. The thing was very hard to click on camera but I still clicked it.
It's something similar to the S8 red tint and the pixel blue tint.
Yes, in the Rog telegram group I did find another person who has the same issue and hence it seems like a fault from Asus.
Also I tried reaching Asus but as usual they aren't replying.

Oh yea I just wanted to share something with everyone.
I went back again and watched the Gen One ROG phone review by Marques Brownlee and this is what I found. Just check it out for anyone still wondering if a slight red tint or magenta in your ROG phone 2 display is normal..
Yes it is normal..but just not too much! if it is too much please exchange it!
We had it in the Gen One so Gen two is the same since not much changes are made to the screen other than the size and refresh rate.
Cheers!

anjubunny123Yea it is all over the screen, notification panel is just one of the things that most of us were able to pick up that red tint. If yours is that bad then you might want try to exchange it and hope you get a better unit.The tint is all over the screen while watching videos at low brightness ,and videos look reddish,this is no longer a notification panel issue
