Q : When I scroll up and down the screen, the colours for some menus / menu settings looks odd. I think the

Your device is not faulty. In the near future, Samsung plans to release a new Software that will further improve how the

colours look in this situation. Please check for updates to your device SW regularly via the Kies tool or FOTA.
