The present application discloses a method for color shift compensation based on an abnormal image detection and a display device, including storing inputted n numbers of sub-pixel values in a row storage space; judging every spaced two of the sub-pixel values whether are the same or not; initiating a color shift compensation if the spaced two of the sub-pixel values being different; judging every adjacent two of the sub-pixel values whether are different if every spaced two of the sub-pixel values are the same; judging every one of the sub-pixel values in a current row storage space whether is different from a sub-pixel value in a previous row storage space corresponding to the sub-pixel value in the current row storage space; doing not initiate a color shift compensation if every one of the sub-pixel values in the current row storage space is different from that in the previous row.
