Pics Of My Week 14 DY Factory Screen

Having used Apple products, both professionally and personally, for 20 odd years and experienced a few bumps in the road along the way it is safe to assume that Apple will not acknowledge the issue. I'm not saying that this is a widespread issue or not, however Apple tend to sort these things out on a one-to-one basis and would not wish to draw widespread attention to it resulting in tens of thousands of replacements.

Indeed. We've already seen the "me too" syndrome here, with some people even asking "is my screen white?". Amazing. I can only imagine the chaos if 3 million+ new iPad owners were officially told their screen *might* be discolored.

That said, during one of my returns to an Apple store, the manager did tell me that corporate has spoken on the issue. He indicated that they said "Some of the screens are different colors. If the customer doesn't like it, replace it one time.". Assuming this came down from above in a memo or phone call to all store managers, at least we now know that the standard Genius line, "We haven't heard of this issue." is a load of nonsense.

Only One time?

Only One time?

yes, as it pertains to an exchange. the manager did say a second exchange would be at the discretion of the manager on duty. and this doesn't discuss returning and rebuying, which is how I've gotten the majority of mine.

...So until Apple acknowledges the screen problems, those rational folks with bad screens have no other recourse than to keep protesting on the iPad forums.

Which is about as productive as spitting in the wind, and is alienating the very people you need on your side if you really want to get Apple's attention.

Now THAT IS an amazing looking display.. so there are perfect screens out there..

Yes, that's a pic of my display. Until yesterday I thought it was perfect and amazing, but after checking for backlight bleeding I do notice that it's present. I'm such a stupid, I promised myself to avoid to check for defects and to partecipate, read, these kind of threads, but couldn't resist. Now I found myself looking at a black screen, in a dark room for a few hours, which is really a retarded thing to do and makes me feel really, really stupid. Damn OCD syndrome....

I still don't know how to differentiate green yellow pink tint.
