Why does color fade after my lcd replacement?

I recently replaced the LCD on my iPhone 5s, so far i did not have any problems. Recently i noticed that when using my phone in the night or dark hours my lcd drastically increases on a gray fade. I've tried to switch display accommodations off as well as used the night shift feature, but the problem persists. I'm sure i have installed the lcd properly since there is no lag on touch response, no marks on screen of applied pressure, and no halo or color distortion. All my blacks turn to gray and this is mostly during night times, is something wrong with my screen lcd?

This could be an issue with the replacement screen. Depending on where you bought it and the quality level of the screen, this could be normal. Lower cost aftermarket screens tend to have washed out colors and poor contrast/brightness.

My new phone does this also at night. We bought it from Target. It was the last one. My husband's new phone does not. What causes my new motorola cell do this? What can be done? I have only had it a week. Thank you.
