Just a quick question for any iPad air owners that would like to respond.

In low light or dark rooms if I tilt my ipad air forward and down a little bit on the top right corner you can see slightly see a red tint start to go over the screen. This only on black or dark color backgrounds.

Is this a normal effect of the pixels when viewed from that kind of angle? It's not a very noticeable issue but I would like to know if your iPad does the same thing. Thank you to those that reply.

The colors are perfectly fine and no red tint or even yellow tint occurs unless you tilt it this way with a dark background in low light. The other corners show the same effect but not as much as the top right corner.

ie: I noticed while watching a tv show on netflix and my ipad air was at an angle.
 
I went the through numerous airs before giving up and sticking with my iPad 3, but I noticed all of them had the reddish glow of dark colors in a dark room, especially at an angle. It must be a property of the panels used I the air because my 3rd Gen doesn't exhibit this.
 
I also have a very very mild pinkishness in one corner at low level brightness black screen but doesn't bother me. I think it might be some form of backlight bleeding but not sure ....
