So which is it? I messed up the test, or I didn't mess up the test, but the test proves nothing? It can't be both.
I am totally fine with a screen that shifts color somewhat uniformly when viewed at an angle. What I'm not fine with is a screen that clearly has pink blotchy areas when viewed directly, or at ANY angle. And the fact is, I don't consider the photo you posted to be a very extreme angle at all, but it clearly shows uneven color. If you're happy with it, great, but I see what I see.
Maybe you should read the entire thread and read what Nikos is saying. You don't need to question me sir or kid or whomever you are.

I'm not trying to tell you yours is not. There is another poster in the thread who jumped on the bandwagon with the pink angle thing. My response was more directed at him. Sorry I should not have hijacked your thread responding to his hijack!
You give auto white balance far too much credit. It can change the hue of a photo across the entire image. It can not selectively change the hue of one area vs another. If you take a photo of a green to pink gradient in incandescent light, auto white balance will shift those colors, together, to a more daylight balanced image. It will not however change the green/pink gradient to one even color, nor will it introduce 2 different colors into an area where there was previously one even color.
My screen is perfect.
If you have to hold it at unuasble angles to find a flaw then you're pretty sad.

Wow . . . Gotta laugh at some people. My screen is fine. No I am not posting pictures, you'll just have to believe me.
If you are not happy, take it back, get another or get your money back. No one is forcing you to keep an iPad you are not happy with.
Go fishing or something !!

And some that desperately feel the need to make ridiculous claims that those with good screens don't know what they are looking for. I'd suspect that if some of the people with issues weren't so obnoxious about it, there would be less in the way of down votes.
Lol. Did you read my original post? The guy I quoted said his screen was even. His photo shows otherwise, at least to me, and several others. Do you really maintain that he knows what he's looking for? And if one guy can't see his pink screen, is it so impossible that others can't as well? What is so desperate and ridiculous about that?
Of course I did and if you read my post again, you'll notice I did not mention anyone by name. Honestly I don't really care if people know what they are looking for at not. I just can't figure out why you haven't given up. If something was bugging me as much as this appears to be bugging you and you are apparently unlucky enough to not be able to get a satisfactory screen, well, isn't it time to move on?
Same thing was at my friend's HTC Desire long long ago, while mine wasn't. And we had same discussion. Because HTC had that as warranty, she got her screen changed. I had also very long ago four pixel deffect at my black Nintendo DS Lite and they were showen clearly. I told that EB Games and they gave me immidatly new one, which I packed up infrot of them and it had even more pink and green pixels.
So it is not unlikley that iPads and iPhones gets weird failure, which depends on HOW those screens been manufactured. And if they ship millions of those unites, some will always be affected unfortunalty. And I understand why many are furious, I would be that too if my iPad 2 and/or iPhone 4S had that failure.
I hope Apple listen at it's custemers and solve this quick, otherwise many will lost their trust and maybe never buy any Apple-product at all.

Why would I need what others are saying when the original post is clearly different from what you are saying, your testing it with extreme angles while the OP is testing it with normal usage angles.
Because if your read the whole thread, another poster challenged anyone with a perfect screen to post pictures as well. In fact he made another whole thread with a video about the pink screen with angle. As I stated to the OP, I didn't mean to hijack his thread as the other poster had. My response was to him.
Having personally seen the pink/green color cast on a total of 9 different iPads, 5 of which came from different stores/shipments, I feel there are far fewer "perfect" iPads than perfect ones out there in the wild, that people are aware of.
There are several factors here.
1. Most iPad owners are not on macrumors.
2. Macrumors members without a screen problem (noticed or unnoticed) are not participating in the discussions about screen problems.
That said, I feel that there are a LOT of defective pink/green screens out there, and that people either haven't noticed, can't see it, or don't care.
Case in point, this post, whereby the poster shows the photo below and states "The backlight seems perfectly even on mine. The following pictures don't do it justice at all".
So far in the various threads, I've seen maybe 2 instances of a good looking screen, with photos. But I've read dozens of "my screen is perfect" posts.
I have a feeling some people are just not visually sensitive enough to see a poorly colored screen, as evidenced by the post and photo above.
So if you're gonna boast about your perfect screen, and call those who are seeing a problem crazy or OCD, how bout you put your money where your mouth is and show us a photo? If some of us are in fact OCD, some of you are, in fact, blind, and I just proved that.
Wow, just wow. I better take a closer look at my iPad.
UPDATE: Nevermind, I continued to read others comments (and their scores).
What about this one? This was my first iPad, from my eyes the left side was red and the right side was green, so I got a replacement, the yellow one from the earlier picture. Trying to get a third replacement =P

I've now had 3 New iPads. The first one (WIFI only) I received on launch day - amazing - I think it has a perfect screen and I'm extraordinarily fussy.
Decided mobile data would be really beneficial for me so bought a 4g model, and will give the old one to my father. When my 4g arrived there was a genuine fault, dirt or an area of stuck pixels around the size of a . that made the k key look like k. in portrait mode. This would bug me as I'd feel there was dirt constantly on my screen.
Unlike tints and hues this was not a subjective fault, or one that was easily missed, so this went back with no questions asked.
My replacement arrived today. I should perhaps start playing the lottery because I'd again consider the screen to be perfect in general use (I'm not going to run every test to find fault though did have a quick look out of curiosity)!
When I looked at my two iPads side by side this morning, the new one did look a little yellower however, as the day has gone on, they now seem to be roughly the same.
I've read there are lots of theories of glue being / not being used etc causing this yellowing. I have no way of knowing if any of that is true; I can say from my own experience that perhaps the screens just need to warm up or break in slightly.
I'm very happy with what I've got!
