What Amount of Backlight Bleeding is Acceptable to You?

Thread title. Just curious on what the general consensus is regarding the amount of backlight bleeding that makes it unacceptable.

If it is a few spots that are very minimal, then it is fine.

If I can only notice it with a black screen and high brightness.

Just asking cause I have 6 small spots on one side but its unnoticeable unless your on a black screen.

have to decide whether to gamble and live with it.

but then again, 6 is quite number of them.

Sounds like its not really too bad, you could easily get a worse one. I'd use it for a couple weeks (whatever your stores exchange policy) and if it does bother you return it because hey its an expensive device. But its mere existence, eh....

I found a spot underneath the top power button today, but only when I hold it at that extreme angle you see in everyone else's pics. Checked my iPad 2 and it has no light leak. Hubby's iPad 2 has mild light leak, but he's had it a year and never noticed it until today.

As long as I can watch a movie (letterbox) in a dark room and not see light coming out of that corner, I'll keep this iPad. It has no dead pixels and good, even brightness, so I'd rather have that than a corner of light that I don't notice except at sharp viewing angles I won't use.

To me, it becomes unacceptable if it bothers me watching movies on the iPad (which I hardly ever do).

Luckily, my iPad has no backlight bleeding issues anyway.

None. Zero tolerance for that crap.

Mine has 4, I'll post a pic when I get home tonight.

Haven't noticed any on mine in normal use - can't say that I spend much time staring at an all black screen with the brightness all the way up.

Ah, I just discovered mine has backlight bleeding--about a 1" line at the top left. Only noticeable if I turn it on to full brightness and look at it at at angle. I don't know, I normally am a perfectionist, so I'm a little that my iPad isn't perfect, but oh well, it's not like I stare at it everyday at that angle with full brightness.
