Coming from Z Fold4 and S21 Ultra, there is definitely something off with the way the display is handling colors. Significantly less punch and sharpness, can be called unattractive or muted. The screen mode is Vivid but in real not the kind of Vivid Samsung has mastered over years. Even my S9+ looks better, let alone S21 Ultra. I am not from engineering or tech background but the gamma or tones are really looking bad. Also, the photo and videos in general are not as crisp/sharp with at times a little bit of haze or blur being felt.
 
I have compared different S23 Ultra hansets side by side, so it's not a defect and it's the way how it is now. Even if Samsung is doing away with vividness and applying more natural tones, the result is less satisfying, atleast for now.
 
Fix it please, Samsung. This is a highly expensive phone and screen is taking away the overall premium experience. Thank you.

HDR content displays totally washed out on s23 ultra. Will this be fixable by software update?

While using netflix the movies show low brightness and washed out colours.

1. Yes the video brightness option in advanced settings is on

2. Brightness on phone and netflix app is set to max after disabling auto brightness. 

3. Connected to fast wifi.

4. Yes the subscription plan is the HDR 4K supporting one.

5. When netflix is pleayed in mini window/floating window mode even the wallpaper on home screen looks full and washed out colours. When the close netflix button is pressed on floating window the wall paper becomes bright and colourful. 


Samsung need to fix this. Such a shame that they cant even admit about existence of a problem like this.
And they call this their flagship. LoL.

Agree. Something is off with my S23, too dull. Customer care is not helpful too. Have tried all the options here and nothing works.

Just got my S23 Ultra coming from Note 20 Ultra...and the first thing I noticed was the colours! 

I've tried everything with no luck...is it a hardware limitation or Samsung just being Samsung with their software?

Has there been any updates or a fix to this yet. I'm experiencing the same thing it's a slight difference but it's driving me crazy.
