Brought my MyTouch 4G to compare and noticed that two different Sensations at two different company stores both exhibited a yellowish cast to their whites.
I did two tests.

1. I took both the MyTouch 4G and the Sensation and turned the screen brightness to max. I then loaded the default browser and entered http://www.google.com and compared the white background between the phones. MyTouch 4G showed a cleaner brighter white.

2. I took a picture at default settings with both cameras of a T-Mobile ad board in the store with the sunlight behind me. Again the MyTouch4G had a clean white and the Sensation had a noticeable color cast.

Has anyone else seen this?

I've noticed this 2. When I compared the mytouch 4g whites to the sensation 4g they were cleaner that the sensation. I also noticed the touchscreen acts weird when connected to the charger. It's a shame cuz I really like this phone. I'm going in tomorrow to compare the demo unit ad try another sensation and if its the same this phone is going back.  :-[

I've had mine a few days now, and have no "yellowing" of my whites. I don't have a MT4G to compare it to, but my wife's brand new MT3Gs is comparable. (I know not the same screens)

I'd do screenshots, but there's no non-root requiring app that works that i've found.

I took line back earlier today and I'm having no issues with my third one. Just take it back as I believe it was just a bad batch.

I compared my HTC Sensation to my Behold 2. I have to agree the whites on both phones are diffrent. The Behold 2 lookes better. I think it's a better screen than the HTC. The Behold 2 has a AMOLED screen if i'm not mistaken.
