Videos lose color and brightness when watching

Sorry for the video quality but it's the best I could get given the circumstances. I reproduced the issue in the video, read below for context:

I got my S26 Ultra 2 weeks ago and I love it, but there's one issue that I'm facing and cannot solve. When watching videos on social media and websites (Instagram, YouTube are my top 2) videos often lose their "saturation" meaning they appear very grey or faded, or they become very dark, almost to the point where it's unwatchable. It doesn't happen with every video, but on the ones it does, it's incredibly inconvenient. I've spent hours searching the internet for anyone facing the same problem, but haven't found anything that could help. Settings such as Super HDR are toggled off, Adaptive Brightness doesn't make a difference, Adaptive Color Tone is off, etc. It doesn't happen for my own videos in Gallery, and if I screen record or take a screenshot, it doesn't show up, so it might be a display-related issue. I need your guys' help!

I have a Galaxy A32 5G. I am considering upgrading to an iPhone 17 Pro Max, Silver, 256 GB. I get $150 off ($43.75/mo) through financing and trading in the A32. I'd rather not finance the phone because I can afford to buy it outright. Is there any way to get additional discounts through T-Mobile?

If I buy it through, Best Buy, for example, do any of you happen to know if I am able to activate it on the cell plan that my current phone is on, while keeping the same monthly rate? I was told by T-Mobile chat support that you can transfer the esim during iPhone set up, and that sounds reasonable. I would appreciate any advice that can be offered.

I recently performed a battery replacement on my S23 Ultra. Everything was fine except for the fingerprint sensor, which stopped working completely. When I tried to add a new fingerprint, it just said it was dirty and to try cleaning it. Oh well, bummer but I can live with it. I left it on my wireless charger overnight (as I have done for the past 2 years with no issue) and I woke up this morning and the display was unresponsive, but the phone still vibrated and DEX works (I'm using it now). I opened it back up and re-seated the display cable and it's still not responsive. I found a thread on Members which reported the same issue and said a new battery solved the problem, but I don't feel very confident if I were to try that. And I'm not going to pay $200-$300 USD for a new display, I'd just get a new phone. Do we think it's worth trying to save it?
