UK - Backlight Bleed Thread

[jaav88]

As a customer in the States I was quite interested in what the panel quality would be on this UK rollout. Looks as if the same early stock is being shipped or that Foxconn or whomever is manufacturing these panels can't/won't fix the issue.
The bottom line is that the light leaks can be rectified during manufacturing but someone has decided that this flaw is acceptable. To what degree this issue extends is yet to be known but it's now confirmed in the US and UK shipments.

Not only in us and uk... I live in the Netherlands and I have a bad case of backlight bleeding ( even with lights and at 30% brightness ).
I think it is in the whole world. What I am going to do is to wait 1 week to see how the problem developed and then I will call the apple store to notify my problem but I will wait 1 month or 2 to change it to see if they solve the problem...

Sorry I'm hijackhing the thread (as I'm not from the UK). However, I'm from Denmark, and the iPad 2 was released here yesterday too.

My does bleed a lot in the lower left corner.. It's not really annoying me, as I almost never watch movies or sees black things on it. However, I'm not sure if it's worse than anybody else's bleed.

Here's a picture taken at full brightness in the tab view of Safari (where the background is black). It is taken in a bright room, and the sun shines outside. Yet, I can still clearly see the bleed:

Should I get a replacement? Or should I maybe wait a few weeks until Apple (maybe) fixes it, and then request a replacement?

welcome to the party! thats quite an obvious case, take it in for an exchange until you are happy. hopefully future batches will resolve the problem
