I have NOT read the entire 100 page thread, but the screen on my iPad is virtually flawless as far as I can tell. And if you look at my handle, you'll realize image quality is important to me.
Got a tip for us?

Does anyone have a perfect screen?

My screen is as perfect as can be expected in a fallen world. I have had no discolorations, bleeding, dead pixels, fading, or anything else problematic. It's amazing.
Haha love it.
I've got a sneaking suspicion that some in this thread would see a screen as perfect while others on here would see that same screen as having backlight bleed. It's all what you can convince yourself of, and I'm convinced this thread is absolutely silly!
Well I thought I had a perfect screen but today I noticed I have developed a bright spot. A 1/4 inch bright blur that I believe is caused by the reflector some how. It is very annoying now that I know where it is. I think it is going to have to be replaced but with the shortage of 3g units that may be a problem.
I'm not sure how I am going to get the ATT and mobile me accounts get set to switch over to a new iPad.

Is the problem you're having only visible on white screens? If so, then it's a problem with the panel reflector pushing through. This was a common problem with the early Macbook Pros after prolonged use.
I've learned from personal experience to get it exchanged/serviced quickly. It has a habit of spreading.
OK, I turned up my brightness to 100%. Way too bright. I normally keep mine at the 45% to 50% level.
Even at 100% I did not see the bleeding you have.
I use my iPad to read books, play videos, and games. I find that 50% is more than enough. Over 50% starts to give me a headache.
It is most visible with a white screen but it is faintly there with each color, it's a white screen that makes if stand out like a flashlight.
Yea I had the same problem with a Dell XPS LED screen. I had it replaced once under warranty and that died too with multiple spots.. It seems to have been the poor quality ChiMei screen supplier. I hope Apple is not using them. I'm gonna have to get it replaced and worry about getting one with dead pixels. I hope I get a new one and not a refurb.
this may seem a little strange. But I have to admit i was on the fence about getting my 64 gb WIFI ipad replaced due to moderate bleeding. However, after reading all the posts on both sides of the argument, I'm really not caring anymore, as the iPad is still probably one of the coolest things I own.

You'll find that most, if not all, iPads have some bleeding. A small amount in the black areas are going to be fairly obvious at night or with low ambient light, but really... just typical for LCDs.
Oh so that's what backlight bleed is, gosh dumb a$$ me thought all these people worldwide were having light showing from the cracks around the screen! lol! Never noticed it myself what you described but if I had then i'd have put it down to being a backlit screen and put up with it, i hardly if ever look at a black screen in the dark - what's the point it's already dark why'd you need to look at a black screen, just enjoy your new shiny and chill, you cannot expect a mass produced item to be perfect in everyone's eyes, as some people have said it's all in the eye of the beholder, if you want a perfect one for you ring Mr Jobs and ask to supervise and inspect the build of your iPad/iPhone etc but i'd expect it to cost ya more than several iPads
After all the comparisons I have done I have no backlight bleeding, no dead pixels, no dust and no scratches and the screen is pure white, no colour temperature issues even with max brightness on a pure white background (blank web page no keyboard) - this is the best screen I have seen in my life and an IPS panel too, and colour reproduction is amazing - makes AMOLED look poor in comparison.
I'll just necrobump this here.
Looks like we've got till about June before this dies down, then we can look forward to a repeat performance next year for iPad 3.
