Besides the glue and backlight bleed issues, the other significant screen issue with both the iPad 2 and iPhone 4/ 4s is that they mostly suffer from an insanely putrid yellow color profile that was not a significant issue with earlier models. You can make the warm vs cool argument, but I'm sorry, white is a friggin' COLOR - and white is NOT light yellow. The yellowish color profiles are extremely irritating to me, but I've seen this on almost every iPad 2 and iPhone 4 / 4s that I've encountered. I sure hope this goes away with the new iPad.

And no this does NOT go away.

all panels are different!
I've been through 4 exchanges of the iPad 2: 2 of them had a cool/blue tint while 2 others had a yellow/warm one.
 
A White model will only stop the backlight bleed showing if you use it in direct sunlight ;)

You're extremely lucky then or maybe live in a different area with different shipping origins. Every one I've seen is yellow. All my friends' iPads as well as every single one on my local Apple and Best Buy stores. That is not a lie.
