Just enough greenish-yellow to be off putting. Otherwise nothing else to report.
 
No light bleed. No tint as far as I can see. No idea how to spot dead pixels-perhaps this means I dont have any dead ones.
My first ipad ever and pleased as anything- when I read these forums on the Ipad its almost like looking at a peice of glowing paper- my experience of reading from a screen has changed. I did have an e-ink ereader but this is a much better reading experience that overcomes the pro's with e-ink displays.

My screen appears to be good. No yellowing or bleed. My iPhone 4 is very yellow compared to my iPad 3.

Mine is a week 2 Jan DL.

This is my 2nd unit. The first had a nasty pink cast diagonally through the middle.

This one has a greenish/pink cloudy effect throughout, but not at all angles.

That's what bugs me the most, that the viewing angle seems to be calibrated totally wrong. It looks the cleanest white at a totally unusable awkward angle. The colors also shift dramatically as the angle changes. It's like looking at the screen through polarized sunglasses with one lens rotated the wrong way.

Mine is fine, perhaps a bit of screen bleed, but I haven't found it noticable in standard use.

My screen's color appears to be fine to my eyes in side by side comparison with my iPad 2. In fact, you REALLY notice the resolution difference with the direct comparison.

My screen is beautiful. No yellowing, bleeding, or dead pixels, etc. I do not have any heat issues and my iPad holds a charge well and charges overnight.
 
No problems with the screen at all :D (no dead pixels, no yellowing in my opinion, etc)

Perfect screen on my iPad.

For those reporting week 53: FY2011 had 53 weeks and carried over into January - that's where that comes from.

mine is perfect with no heat or screen issues
 
I don't get it, mine is also a DQ and it says refurbished next to it? How can that be considering that this product has been around less than a week?
Apart from that, the screen is perfect, no bleeding, no tint and no dp.

Do these stats showing iPads produced in Janruary 2011 not pique anyones interest, I'm trying to figure that out. Week 53 is december, december 2011 would make sense, but then why say Janruary?
 
Why is mine saying this?

I know I'm entering the serial correctly and it's giving me the following info...

52 weeks per year suggests week 53 is 1st week in Jan. Why it doesn't say that? Unless it was made precisely on 1st Jan which is the last day of week 52 of 2011 but obviously January...:confused:

I get that part, i think. I see week 53 as the last week in December, count it on a calendar. but still if so why say january, and if it is January why not say 2012?

No problems with mine from my perception. Now I traded in my original iPad so I don't have another to side by side compare. What I have noticed is that the color is more saturated when watching Netflix.

Maybe Apple can offer adjustable screen color on iPad 4. :D
