Many people seem to suggest 3utools software but I have only used iPhone built in Sysdiagnose function and then read log file "iodevicetree" (located in ioreg folder) and use the search word "panel", it only finds couple hits, it's the one starting with G9....

There is at least G9N, G9P, G9Q available. I guess it is a factory identifier code for Samsung. We got 2 x 15 PM with both different panel, one G9N and the other G9P and they have different look. In many ways G9N did seem nicer warm colors but both had bad screen uniformity where G9P was maybe a bit better. But it all depend on what features you think more important, is it bright or dark image you want to be better, neither had both ends good, so it was a tough choice.

Picture you posted, reminds my G9P where there is reddish tint here and there. Mostly I'm bothered when it shows in lighter images.

That is good as it gets. Not perfect but good. My guess is that is a good one G9N panel?
BTW, is it the same with brighter image?

In my house we have 2 15 pro max. Later I upload a photo of the uniformity of each one and attach the panel number.

I'm looking forward for that. Can you also test lighter images and see if there is obvious red/pink tint especially with NS and TT on? You can exaggerate this situation by turning NS to warmest (sliders all the way to the right), this shows immediately if there is any tinting.

Looks like screens are terrible this year with this uneven tint even on G9N panels. The upper one is better of the two.
I guess you took photos of worst case (NS at full), so probably better in default NS mode?

My 12 Pro was excellent without any noticeable tint but I had to go through many many exchanges until I managed to get decent one. Interesting back in the day all the bad ones I got were G9P's and the good one was G9N. I did not bother this year, too stressful.
