Ok, so I'm on my 13th iPad. In fairness, one of those was because I decided I wanted a different color, and another one i decided i wanted to upgrade to one with 4G. 3 were returned right away in the store (scratches, dark blotches behind the screen). A couple were super yellow, one had over a dozen dead pixels, and one even had the bottom half of the screen turn baby blue!
I just got a new one from the genius bar tonight. Pretty bad backlight bleed, and the weirdest thing: there's a darker 'stripe' through the middle of the screen. Has anyone else seen this on their iPad? (Not to mention the pinkish areas)
UPDATE: I returned this iPad the next night. The Apple store employees saw the problem immediately and quickly went to swap it out. I talked with the store manager and opted for a full refund instead.
Oh... and here's one of the other screens I had. This one looked good at first, but then gradually turned to this:
And one more. This is a very light gray screen (the white balance on my phone didn't accurately show the shadows visible in real life on a white screen). This one had what I would best describe as a wrinkle in the display on the bottom left and some yellowing at the top left.
