iPad iPad Air - Post your screen manufacturer/code

[daxr1der]

Hi, i have a question...
I am in my second ipad air, and I still have the problem with the yellow screen on the left, i have DMPL reference ..... (LG) impossible to find a DMQL ..... i leave Lyon in France. For those who have DMQL where are you leave ? the united state ? other ? I called apple for an exchange against a DMQL and they can not do that. They even tell me that there is likely to still have the same worries. I'm nervous because i want a product work normally... ITS AMAZING

Is there some sort of test I can do to see if I have the yellowing? I honestly can't tell

If you honestly can't tell then why look?

DMPL - best color temp so far. iPad 1 was too blue, iPad 3 was too pink. Air is the sweet spot in between. Before selling the 1, I put them all side-by-side and it was the proverbial 3 bears scenario: too cold, too hot, just right.

DMQL - great display, no issues!

DMPL. Brilliant. A slightly bit colder than iPad 3 and iPad 4 (only visible when you hold them side by side). When you hold it horizontally and look at it from a flat angle the iPad Air's display gets darker (iPad 3 and iPad 4 were definitely better in this special point). No bleeding, no bad pixels (tested with uni color patterns). No clouding, no retention. As bright as iPad 3 and iPad 4 – maybe a tiny, tiny bit less reflective.

It's pure Apple intelligence to bring new iPads always in the dark seasons (here in the northern heavy-consumers hemisphere) when nobody sits in the bright sunshine for a while.

But what's more important than pixel peeping: Higher resolution in Asphalt 8: Airborne, smooth 60 fps (with one spot in almost any track where it goes down to 15 fps for splits of a second). It's a BLAST! (Try local multiplayer!)

iPad Air - Image Retention?

I had an iPad Air with s/n DMPL and it had some pretty bad image retention issues. Luckily I was already planning on moving to a 32GB unit from the 16GB that I had, but are any of you seeing image retention issues on your iPad Air? If not, what are the serial numbers that DON'T have that issue?

Running this for just 2 minutes left image retention on the screen for a while.

Thanks!

I also have a DMRL serial. They seem to be somewhat rare, I dunno.

No complaints here--screen is bright and a little whiter/cooler than my iPad 2.

DMPL 64 GB Air... zero problems nice and bright too

If you google "ipad panel manufacturer codes", guess what the very first hit is. A list made by Apple? A cheat sheet by iFixit? An educated guess by ANYONE?

No.

It's this thread, full of conjecture, speculation, misinformation and not much else.

OP if you don't have a source for determining screen manufacturer, why would you make this thread? Where did you come up with Samsung? Out of a hat? Another three letter word?

The thread should just be closed. The OP asked for people to post their screen manufacturer code. Since no one has that, no one has answered correctly. 3 pages of nothing.

The serial numbers denote which factory and week the ipad was made.

I agree that plant of manufacture probably doesn't matter, but the week number may.

They are more likely to be using screen batches from the same manufacturer during any given week, but half way through they could switch. So really it's just a lottery.

They could be using batches from the same manufacturer by week, or equally plausible, they could be shipping panels to factories based on their geographic proximity to the panel manufacturers. Shipping is a huge expense.
