I'm really annoyed with this backlight bleeding. I didn't notice it at first, when I did I couldn't stop focusing on it. Apple replaced it for me, a brown box replacement and guess what that has it too.
They said they'd order another one in as they didn't have any in stock but they said it would likely have bleeding on as well. I mean what sort of response is that? They acknowledged it as a fault why aren't they fixing it? It's like they are beginning to class it as a feature now.
if Apple can't deliver a working item then they should start offering refunds. For the money i paid for the ipad I expect it to be faultless! It's not a lot to ask for a working screen. i'm starting to use ssh a lot on it now and the bloody bleeding really distracts me.
Apple has been problems with backlight bleeding in almost all of their devices for years (iMac, New Macbook Pros, etc), but they decided not to do anything about it since 90% off buyers don't notice it or care. Not everyone is as picky as us because we're geeks
I really hope they fix it in the future (will be hard since its a common issue with the screens), but I doubt it as they've gone mainstream and couldn't care less about people like us.
Crossing my fingers though!
Btw... replace it until you find one with as little backlight bleeding as possible, I high doubt you'll get a perfect one, unless you can try 100 different ones of course
