....... At some point, you have to realize if you want a 100% perfect device with no issues at all, you can bet that the QC costs would be such that there would be no way they could sell these devices at 500 apiece. They made a compromise and I think it is worth it. Chances are that this ipad costs quite a bit more than the 2 so they HAD to make some sort of compromise to sell it at the same price points.

To those that say I paid for a 100% perfect device, consider this. That is impossible. Nothing in manufacturing is perfect. If you still like to complain, I wager you take your 500 and make yourself your own ipad. You will quickly find that 500 is a steal for these devices ............

I bought my two kids $299 "made-for-Walmart" Compaq laptops about four years ago. Both had perfect screens and no bad pixels. Both are still working w/o issues. In fact my son is still taking it to school (student teaching assignment) each day. So if Walmart/Compaq can manufacture a super low cost laptop with perfect screens four years ago, I would think Apple could do likewise.

Yea, that is comparing apples to apples

A state of the art screen on a much higher end device vs an elementary screen on a relatively obsolete laptop.

I agree and I feel like a guinea pig with these screens
 
I have returned one iPad and rapidly growing on returning this one!

LET THE GAMES BEGIN !
 
I've returned 1.7x10^3. I returned a few because they were giving me a bad vib and a couple of them because they gave me the ebgebies. But every single one of them had this annoying deep scratch on the back resembling an apple.

This forum is full of total "funny" cocks isnt it....:rolleyes:
 
I haven't returned any, though that's because it looked absolutely fine when I got it. Then I started reading all the threads here and went looking for a problem -facepalm-. My iPad does have backlight bleed, but you only see it at 100% brightness with a black background in the dark. I have no intentions to return it though, because it is otherwise fine. :)

especially if the defect rate was 40-50% as some have speculated here.

People are forgetting the original parameters of this poll, which was to account for all returns for any reason whatsoever, including changing one's mind about color, amount of storage, wifi only or 4G. In other words, rate of return does not equal defect rate. Sure, people who did multiple returns more likely did it because of defects, but we don't know how many of the people who swapped it once or twice did so because they just changed their mind about the configuration options.

As for whether or not any iPad screens out there are perfect, I'm satisified with mine, which does not mean it's perfect. If I showed my iPad to one of the posters here complaining about screen issues, I wouldn't be surprised if they declared that my iPad screen is defective. Does that mean I'm stupid or ill-informed? No, I just have a more lenient standard of screen quality than some people, and there is nothing wrong with that.

You definitely should sell it to Apple. Just imagine, instead of "uhm.. it's within specs" at Genius Bar - very delicate "Your New iPad just have more lenient standard of screen quality, we didn't found any problems".

Apple can even use it in the advertisement. "The New iPad! For those who needs more lenient standard of screen quality!". :D
