This thread should just stop. Clearly there is no correlation to week builds and quality. If anything, I see even more randomness.

It should stop because it's the stupidest thread in the history of this forum. And by God it has some competition for that title.

So Finally is there a conclusion on which weeks of production in specific had the yellow tint problem with the New iPad, well I am planning to buy one and I am just hoping that I select the week of production from the serail number which on a large scaale has no yellow tints or hue's so do we have any numbers on which week's are the safest bet to buy. I have done small numbers and I feel the following weeks of production has mostly the yellow tint problems with the New iPad

Apparently the following weeks have a Yellow Tint Problem :

week-1
week-3
week-5
week-6
week-7
week-9
week-10

What do you guys think ?

Mine is week 7 and I have no problems at all.

Same here (build in 2011: bought on day one). Yellow display on the left side. Not super crisp. I'll exchange it when decent screen will show up in my local Apple Store.

To update my post (above) my screen is still bitchin, but I did notice a super-tiny dent on the lower right corner of the aluminum frame, along the right edge. I didn't see it until I felt it with my fingers. Its barely there, I know its there, but does it bother me? Nope. Frankly, I see that as an identifying feature saying this iPad is mine. It was probably caused by a holder or something used during manufacturing that was made of a stronger metal than the aluminum casing. Its not sharp or anything, so I'm not concerned.

i really don't see any issues with mine. i've done the dead pixel test, i've turned the brightness level all the way up and stared at a white screen and really my eyeball just hurt after all that close examination.

If everyone had stopped buying the ipad 2 with light bleed they would have made sure they got this 1 right but guess what everyone will keep there sub standard ipad 3 and we will have similar quality issues with the ipad 4 or the "really new iPad"
