So, I got an iPad 2 at the end of December. I just recently noticed some slight bleed on the screen. It's only noticeable when the brightness is high and it's dark in the room, on a blank screen. Should I take it in? Also, it's a refurbished iPad 2. I figured I'd get one because I could get double the memory for the same price. Everything else on it is flawless.
Got a tip for us?

If it bothers you then take it in. It would definitely bother me so I would have it swapped out for a new one since you bought it recently.
If it is your custom to set the brightness at full, then sit in a dark room staring at a blank screen, by all means visit your local Apple store and give them those details.
Since you said it is flawless under all other conditions, I don't quite understand the problem.

I received a refurbished iPad as a gift and it had 2 dead pixels smack in the center of the screen. I took it back to my local apple store returned it and paid the difference for a new one. I would take yours back as well as the screen bleed is a known issue with the iPad.
They should replace it for you. I just chose to buy a new one. I actually received two of the same cases for Christmas so I returned one to offset the cost and only ended up paying $40usd for a brand new one.
Sure, will do.
For the record, I LOVE the iPad 2! 🙂 The best electronic product I've ever owned.
