New iPad -finally happy!

It's been superb! Pure whites en dark blacks. No issues! First try! Bought launch day (March 23rd) in Amsterdam. Week 6

Next to "Model Number," some people are getting "3,1" or "3,2".

My second one, a replacement that has some slight uneven tinting, but I'm happy with, is listed as refurbished and says "3,1".

So did the units that are listed as "3,2" and "3,3" possibly go through refurbishment two or three times? Or do the comma models have nothing to do with whether they were refurbished or not?

has to do with it being a wifi, verizon, or at&t model. has nothing to do with what you are describing.

I see. I only assumed because the first one I had only gave a "3" for a model number. My replacement is the exact same model, has a note that it's refurbished, and has the "3,1".

I personally think a yellow tint is a keeper. Reason being it's uniform and it's not worth the hassle of jumping into the screen lottery all over again just to find one with trapped dust or dead pixels. It's a painful and mentally tormenting process. The iPhone 4S also has a yellow tint if you compared it to iPhone 4. Just my two cents. Your money, your call 🙂

I agree however it started to bother my eyes, lucked out on a white one, no yellow at all.

Possibly stupid question: How do you quantify what constitutes a "yellow tint", or any of the other tints people mention (red, backlight bleed, etc) people mention? Is there a metric, or some test images one should look at? Or is it totally obvious?

I only noticed that my iPad had terrible backlight bleed when looking at darker photos a few days after getting it. I never noticed it when reading lighter websites for example. I am returning it but want to make sure I can check out the new screen right away.

You can tell, it looks pink, or light yellow or even splotches of yellow.

Okay, here is my 4th iPad and the one that I'm keeping. The screen looks great in person. Slight backlight bleed at full brightness, but it is not noticeable in normal conditions. Very happy with this one!

Here are some pics I just took of it including a comparison to our recently purchased iMac...
