Does anybody have a yellowish tint in your Nexus 5 display? I got mine and is noticeably yellowish compared to my previous phone. I asked for a replacement, it is slightly less yellowish than the first one!

Yellowish tint or a warmer screen?
eg.
IIRC, from 4 -> 4S -> 5, every subsequent generation has had a warmer screen than the previous one.

Hmmm- 2 different N5 displays. Don't have another N5 around to compare it to.

I think its referred to as warmer display (I came across this term only after I started searching about this yellowishness).
Did you feel yours is warmer compared to your current phone?
There is a noticeable difference in color between the two N5s out of the box (not huge though). I would have kept the less yellowish one, but it has a dark spot (dead pixel or dust).
