Why can't people have an opinion
Obviously, opinions vary on the Mini. I have one and I'm not fond of my screen either. My issue is brightness. When I see people post that they have to set their brightness at 50% or lower to avoid excessive light, I scratch my head. My iPad mini screen is DIM. It's dimmer than the screens on my iPad 3, iPad 4 and Nexus 7. 100% brightness on my mini is equivalent to roughly 50% brightness on my other iPads. If I set my brightness to 50% or lower, it's dim to the point of being barely readable. Suspecting I may have a defective mini, I went to a store and tried two minis. They seemed just as dim. So either someone in Apple's supply chain is using dimmer LEDs for some of these minis or people's opinions about brightness vary greatly. But my real problem is with the people attacking the OP for stating an opinion. Stop acting like a cult and let people speak. All the OP did was voice an opinion about a tablet and some people jumped on the person like cult members attacking a non-believer. It's just a tablet folks, not a god. Everyone isn't going to love the same thing. And for those saying "well, just don't buy it", that's equally dumb. If your kid's teacher is terrible would you just not send them to school? Avoidance isn't the answer to life's problems. There very well may be an issue with the brightness on some of the mini's. If everyone just "shuts up", how would we ever know? After all, searching for answers about why my screen is so dim is what lead me here in he first place.
