Ok then, enlighten me on said "phosphors".
Google hasn't been helping me here only referencing CRTs.. To my knowledge phosphors requires an electron charge to illuminate, while a ccfl "may" have been able to have this inside the lamp, how would this apply to a side lit LED backlight?
I'm trying to keep an open mind here

If you can prove the backlight bleed is causing color distortion on screen they will prob replace. If its just minor bleed w no screen tinting etc then prob not. You should take pics on your phone to show them.
Same is the thing with me, even I am planning to buy the new iPad but I am so scared and worried about getting an iPad suffering from Backlight Bleeding problems and Yellow Tint issue that I am also kind of in a fix on how do I break this ice and should I really Buy one or not. Plus I am in a Country where there are no Apple Stores its only Apple Rellers which do not give replacements for this kind of issues and Refund is impossible !

There have been some people who have had issues, but the VAST majority of people have no issues at all.
Ah, so this is why it's taking 3 weeks for my iPad to arrive.
It's worrying that people are returning iPads for stuff like light leakage in a dark room when held at a tight angle, etc etc.

So how does one ensure that he is not from the one from the few people who have had these issues and he is a Happy customer from the Vast Majority of the New iPad community !

Odds are yours will be fine. Can you have them turn one on before buying?
Yes I can, But u know when I set this as a Pre-Condition (Which I have to if I am bloody hell spending $850
) when I mention this sort of condition in front of the Reseller that I will only take it if these defects are not found Firstly it would really intimidate them and put them Off making them think, on what the F * * k, dont buy if you have to, we are ok to lose a fussy customer like you than spend our time convincing you for issues which we think is not a defect( Again they are sales people) They are only concerned on how many numbers of the iPad sold. They are least bothered about Technical Aspects for them a working iPad is Fine Blue, Yellow, Orange whatever Tint is not an issue for them. And even to get a iPad inspected I would have by then already been charged on my Credit Card so for me the Purchase has already been made, Money spent. To even take a chance I have to spend money.That is why I have been asking people any pointers for me to make sure that my iPad does not have all these issues and how do I select a Good one ?

Pick one you're happy with, ignore the orum posts because you WILL go mad finding "the perfect screen"
A lot of people will call me OCD for that. But I am extermely fussy when it comes to the screen on my devices. I just cant accept any kind of Blotch on my screen. In that sense I thought the iPad-2 display was amazing !
I just recieved the brand new replacement. Fisrt iPad had extreme yellow tint. Second had exposed led at two different parts of the display & pinkish white. Both black 32GB WiFI 4G & manufactured on the 9th week of 2012 (March).
Becuase i was waiting the new replacement already for a week, the called and informed me that a brand new white ipad was available.If i insisted for a black, it would take another week of waiting...So, i went for it.
I am happy to inform you that this one has no issues at all. The white is the best i have seen to date. No light bleeding, no led exposed. I checked the production date too. The 6th week of 2012 (February).
Trully, having faced so many issues and now having a great device i have to say that now i can see the greatness of the retina display.

Perhaps your future posts should be in the form of a question rather than a definitive declarative statement professing expertise you dont have.
Just saying...
Mine is week 14 and it's perfect. That had to be fairly recent. They must've sorted out the problems by then.
Can you please post pictures of your iPad screen like taking a screenshot with a Full White WallPaper and a Black Wallpaper to check any backlight bleeding is there or not ?
