I am curious to see if light bleed really is as big a problem as some people make it out to be, I rarely turn my iPad above 30% brightness and most complaints I have seen are from people having it on max brightness in a dark room.

Does your new IPad have light bleed?
Is it noticeable during normal use under normal brightness conditions?
 
Mine "has" light bleeding/uneven blacks all over the place, but in order to notice that you have to meet 3 requirements (altogether):

-Show just plain black on screen
-Be in a dark room
-High brightness.

Otherwise it's just impossible to notice.

I never usually do any of these things, but the most important one is the brightness: I always use it at 50%. Then, what's the point of doing tests that don't represent normal use?

I'd understand however why someone would want to exchange it due to a dead pixel or strange tints, because those are there always.

The only way for you to know is to really see the screen personally, everyone has a different standard of quality.

Some people also say that they have no backlight bleeding what so ever at 100% brightness then thats where all the complaints are coming from, if people are more honest about this then there would be no reason for such fuss.
