Who has a perfect new iPad?

[Dlanod]

I've had three with dodgy screens. No 4 is a perfect screen with a small gouge out of the casing. Given that I'm sticking it in a case I don't care. iPad is all about the screen.

And this one's awesome! Eventually.

If you don't see them, great! Maybe you got a perfect screen. Or maybe you got a screen that the next person would call defective, but you either don't care, or aren't looking hard enough. But don't insist that I don't know what I'M looking at, because in fact, I do.

I'm looking plenty hard enough. I'm just not being unrealistic. Every LCD screen is imperfect, it's only a matter of degree. I've seen similar things about notebook screens. NONE are absolutely perfect, it's a limitation of the technology. If you can't live with that then don't buy it. But returning things 8 times still isn't going to get a perfect screen, it doesn't exist.

I love how defenders of this say the complainers / returners are just perfectionists. No, they are completely unrealistic. Of course there are defective screens out there and those should be returned. But I'd be willing to bet that someone returning an item into the double digits has something wrong other than their screen.

Even if I say mine's perfect, some will twist it. They'll sneer that it's "just my opinion". They'll laugh at my inability to see screamingly obvious defects. I'll be labelled insensitive, imperceptive, Neanderthal even. They'll cast aspersions on my eyesight, hearing, sense of touch, cognitive ability. I might even be called a fanboy or, worse, fanboi.

Yep, It's lonely being the guy with the perfect iPad. But what do I care? Mine's bloody perfect!

A 75% defect rate.
As I mentioned before, a 14% defect rate is being conservative.

It seems apple rushed out the new iPad and wanted to meet demand regardless of the defect rate or QC.

The new iPad is not representative of the apple we all have come to know for quality & perfection.

I only have an iPad 2--which is in great shape--but I have a nephew who has a new iPad that has a bit of a warm display. Would it be okay for me to vote downward?

Preordered my white 16gb WiFi model and it is flawless. No problems whatsoever. At first when I got it, the bottom corner felt a tad warm during use, but after a full discharge and then letting it fully charge overnight it stays nice and cool. Screen is fine too. Looks like I'm not in the minority either (based on the poll results).

If you know where to look, you will find more problems. Case in point. Weak wifi signal reception is much worse in my new iPad than my iPhone 4S, iPad (1st gen), and iPad 2. It is less than half the speed using Speedtest.com app than the other devices. If I move closer to the router then there is no difference. I just set up an Airport Express to boost the signal.

Mine.... Mine is perfect... It was perfect I mean...

My fiancé dropped it on day 9 (march 25th) and now the otherwise perfect screen is shattered... So so lame... I'm going to lose my mind if the replacement one is bad!

Only God is perfect.

(Yet he screwed up a few iPads, so who knows)

My first one was such a dingy yellow that I said "Ewww" when the home screen first appeared. Mail and Safari looked awful. I bought a replacement and compared the two, and the replacement looks perfect.
