A yellow screen is not good, but a yellow tinted light can be considered a feature, not a bug. All LCDs you are used to are probably too blue. On my iPad I run f.lux to make the screen warmer.

What you think of as neutral light is probably too blue for night use. Blue light has been shown to disrupt sleep pattern.

Try using the screen for a while. You may grow to appreciate it

A light with adjustable temperature would be the best. That would not be another gimmick of dubious value. Which means we will probably never get it.

I don't know why tablets and phones don't let you adjust the temperature of the display. This is one of my pet peeve. Considering high end mobile devices now have the best display owned by the average person, who spends hours a day staring at it.
