And what if it "miraculously, coincidentally" looks exactly how one claims to have seen with their naked eye and wants to convince everyone else that their screens look the same even though their own naked eyes say different. Just look at the asinine things taking place in this thread. People posting likely inaccurate photos on a forum to ask other people if their screens are fine.

Then you are going on the word of the person taking the photo--that's not "proof". I have no doubt some screens are bad, I just feel like posting screenshots and photos is not terribly helpful.
Here are a couple of snaps of my iPad screen.
Taken in darkened room with iPad screen at full brightness. All camera settings on auto, including white balance, no image processing applied - just as the camera took them. I'm happy with this display and there is no light bleed or dead pixels. Possibly the white is a little warmer than my previous iPad1, although you could argue that iPad1 white was more bias to the blue end of the range.
Anyway, interested what others may think.

You're saying you don't see it? Your pictures look exactly like the standard pink-and-green new iPad screen defect.

First generation Ipad.....same issue!
Just an FYI for you guys, same camera (iPhone 4) and same grey scale but this time on my iPad (first generation) I have used this daily since October 2010 and never noticed it!
Looks like its not an issue thats exclusive to the new iPad!
Cheers

you keep using the word "claim" as if there is some conspiracy. seriously?

looks good to me. maybe the tiniest bit of pink/green shift, and unevenness, but far better than ones I've had.

I think you misunderstood me. I'm saying if Joe Blow posts a screen shot and I say, "Hey, that looks exactly like what I've seen with my own eyes", to me, this negates the possiblity of the camera distorting reality.
Fact is, with a few exceptions, photo after photo posted show signs of the exact issues we've been complaining about. And yet, some people are saying that despite the photographs looking identical to the described issues, the camera is somehow lying.
This is why I'm asking, if you show me a photo of a pink/green screen and I say, yes, this looks like mine does to my naked eyes, what are the chances that a camera is somehow adding the same 2 colors mentioned in complaints, in the same blotchy patterns? I say zero.

Conspiracy, no. But the way some of the complainers carry on one can't help but think that some here have an agenda rather than actual problems.

The screen complaints I've read are all from people who ostensibly have bought at least one new iPad. Many people with complaints have bought/exchanged/returned several. I'm personally up to 7 and I'm still not thrilled like I was with my previous generation models. I've easily spent $100 on cabs back and forth to Apple stores here in NYC, and untold hours of time. I can only assume others with multiple exchanges/returns have made similar investments in time and money.
Clearly, those who keep returning/exchanging LOVE the iPad. We WANT an iPad. Getting a good one is a labor of LOVE. What agenda could we possibly have? Crying agenda is basically calling complainers trolls. This of course diffuses the very real arguments people with actual complaints have. To my thinking, calling the complainers trolls, is in and of itself, an agenda.
If there were someone just chiming in, "The iPad sucks, you are all idiots", then one could argue that person has an agenda. I haven't seen a single post like that. Have you?

You keep throwing your 2 cents in but yet you havent got a clue. Insisting that you have a perfect ipad or a good one anyways. Until you have gone thru the frustration that some have experienced you just dont know! Your post on any screen issues are very invalid to me and have no credability.
Like anything in life, you just dont know the actual feeling until you have gone thru it yourself

Wasnt your last one somewhat decent?

Understood. However, you also are completely clueless as to how having someone with complaints yammering on about them over and over again feels either, and were I in your shoes and felt as you did, I wouldn't pollute this board with my vitriol as too many of you who have been unfortunate seem all too eager to do. And if you think I have no credibility, you are illiterate, because many have expressed similar annoyances. Your misfortune does not make a martyr, or any more of an authority on the new iPad than the MILLIONS of people who have purchased problem-free iPads.

You have zero data to back that up, so you do not get to toss it around as fact. Sorry. Merely assuming something is true because you haven't heard otherwise does not make it true.
If one of the complainers posted "MILLIONS of iPads are defective", you'd be all over us in a huff.
it's ok. still not as nice as my iPad 2, color/lighting wise.

continually posting the same mantra in threads where no one agrees with you is no less insane.

Just read iapplelove statement in which he calls it a "pretty damn " perfect iPad in his eyes, but yet there is clearly defective screen there. You just don't know someone's standards to what is a "quality" screen but clearly I do or so happen to think I do.
I am only guessing a great portion of these screens are alike and the average person won't see so your millions that are happy just don't know it. If this ever made national news I am pretty sure a flood gate would open

Threads like these always crack me up. Really, you guys are in an elite group of people who have nothing better to obsess about.

My agenda is that I would like a new iPad with a screen as good as the one on my iPad 1.
I liked my iPad 1 a whole lot. I didn't suddenly develop an anti-Apple agenda or some kind of psychological problem between then and now.

You seem to just play the devils advocate and have nothing better to Do with your time, and if you must correct me on my spelling and call me names more power to you. Sent from my iPhone

Some of these people don't seem to understand that many of us keep talking about this simply because we REALLY want this new product, been burned multiple times, and we're trying to get a feel of when it's safe to try to get another one.
Since Apple won't discuss issues like this, all we can do is keep checking to see if more evidence of good iPads comes in.

Yes, it makes perfect sense to assume that you are smarter or more observant than the average iPad purchaser and therefore see defects that they are too clueless to notice. It's assertions like that that makes all of your complaints suspect. You can't just leave it at your own personal experiences. You have to extrapolate that somehow you are far more discriminating than all of the other iPad owners who are happy with their iPads. It also only emphasizes the appearance that you have an agenda rather than just a beef due to your own misfortune.
And correct your spelling? What ARE you talking about?

The vast, vast majority of consumer electronics purchasers will never complain about anything other than the most blatant of screen issues. They'll take something back if it is cracked or not working and that is about it.
Most people don't know what a dead pixel is and won't notice one when they see it. They don't notice even the most extreme light leakage. They certainly don't notice uneven backlighting and splotchy color tints.
I've seen this again and again, long before there was an iPad to scrutinize. Laptop monitors, cell phone screens, TV sets. I now have 3 friends and family with a new iPad. They love their iPad and see nothing wrong with it. All three have *absolutely abysmal* screens.
Sorry, but there really are people who are more able to see screen defects, and there really are more discriminating customers. For the most part, the consumer electronics market is able to satisfy these people. The new iPad is a rare exception, because there is something truly wrong with a great number of these screens.
Many of us have seen thousands of LCD screens on thousands of devices. It is rare that something so truly terrible immediately jumps out at us, as it has with the new iPad. We know what the inherent issues of LCD are - there is no such thing as a perfect screen. That's not what we're talking about here. That's not what we're seeing here. That's not what you're pretending NOT to see in the many photographs demonstrating the problems.
