Backlight bleeding

cmvsm said:
Pretty obvious that Apple is running into supply chain issues with the current demand, adverse world events, etc. The article makes mention of some complaining about light bleed, but I would venture to say that this addition to Apple's LCD suppliers is not in response to that.

I understand the optimism, but with the technology and price point, you simply aren't going to get anything different. Not sure why it doesn't sink in with most that this 'issue' existed with the iPad 1 as well. Why would you think Apple is suddenly giving it credence after the iPad 2 has already been launched? Common sense would tell you that they wouldn't, as the demand is so high for the device, any light bleed from the 1st or 2nd generations is a non-issue in the overall scheme of things.

The fact of the matter is that majority of consumers really don't care.

Funny thing, tho... I don't remember seeing any threads about backlight bleed with the iPad 1. I also don't remember reading any complaints about bleeding as well, even though the first iPad was also used in the dark. So with all the complaints we are seeing today, how can you say that the same issue existed with the iPad 1? It may have existed, yes, but not to this extent. Given the number of complaints w/ iPad 2, it's fair to say the issue is far more widespread with iPad 2 than it was with iPad 1.

This is great that Apple is looking for a new LED supplier but I am having so much fun with my iPad that it does not ruin my day. What ruins my day is the constant complaining here on Macrumors.

I love this site and the forums but man I am avoiding it lately because of the the constant crying about it. We do not have much choice unless you want to use another Tablet that isn't as good.

The iPad is so portable and convenient that this screen bleed issue isn't a big enough deal for me to put my iPad down.

I am upset about it but seriously who cares. Having one negative on an almost flawless product isn't that bad.

Good for you! :) now change the channel.
 
I was told try again in like a month...They no its a problem. Oh if you dont like this thread move on, the title pretty much states it's purpose. Noone is forcing you to read this kid or should I say boy
 
So I have decided to wait about a month or so.. My light bleed is pretty bad.. If I call apple now, would they put a "note" in my file because I guess I want to wait a while longer until the problem is fully rectified... Think I will have a problem because I've had it for over a month?
 
The last two pages just reminded me of the mist...the part whereeveryones stuck in the grocery store fighting and that crazy lady starts spouting out about religion lol.

Gf went behind my back to exchange her iPad again lol, this one isn't as bad...and had 4.3 on it. I told her to just keep it already and stop effin around lol

Amen to that. Lol
 
Can we stop all the Jesus stuff?

in the UK, do we have to take the iPad to the apple store to get a replacement, or can we get them to send us one?
 
An update here.

Took my iPad2 to the apple store, they ordered me a replacement (took a little over a week), second one has bleed too.

First guy said they'll just order another one and give me a £25 gift card.
Passed me to a second guy who said that he didn't see anything wrong with it but will order me another one, but that after that they won't replace it again.

Has anyone encountered that before?

Main thing to remember here is that the Sales of Goods Act will help you. Also need time ask for the manager of the store.
 
I busted the guys chops a bit about saying that I couldn't return it again and he seemed like I could. I get the impression they put on a 'show and dance' on a second return.

The guy was holding it up and cupping it in his hand, he sneakily put it on the lowest brightness setting (I cranked it up to test it) and never looked at it under the table (like the other guys did).

If the next one is bad too I'll ask for a manager as I can't imagine there is an actual policy limiting the amount of returns of a defected item.

Plus I can always straight up return the iPad can't I?

You're a freak. Go away. I don't believe in your "god", so everything you said is nonsense and make me laugh hysterically. When people lack a sense of self, as you obviously do, they turn to government and god for support. In most cases, neither one delivers. People like you who believe in irrational things should be medicated.
