In my experience it seems quite typical for LCD screens to be sent out with brightness higher than necessary (for anyone intending to sit staring at it for long periods, as when reading). Also in my experience, contrast becomes a problem on LCD at very low brightness levels, but adjustment doesn't help much. However, I don't think I've ever had a new LCD screen turn up with equivalently obvious problems in colour balance, the only time they've turned bad is when I've screwed with them.

I'd also add that on the phones I've had brightness control is made really obvious, whereas colour and contrast are things you have to hunt for.
