My fridge has a light leak issue as well: Go to the kitchen. Turn off all the lights. Open the fridge - OMG there's light inside!!!!!
If I do the "light bleed test" I see bleeds.
If I watch Netflix on my iPad at night in the darkness - which I've done several times - I see no bleeds at all.
Of course, I don't watch Netflix on 100% brightness in that totally dark room. Which is exactly why the light bleed doesn't matter - I never ever ever use my iPad in any situation where it shows up, and neither do 80-90% of other people who have a bleed under "test" conditions.
Did you ever turn your old ipad up to 100% brightness to view a black image, in a dark room? if so, why?.
That was my point as well, and particularly that the OP is requiring us to go through an unrealistic and onerous set of conditions to prove to them that the iPad 2 is acceptable as is. But the sarcasm was lost on you, unfortunately.
And if you look at any beautiful woman under a magnifying glass, you'll find skin blemishes and imperfections. Maybe you should airbrush your iPad.

My White iPad 2 has no yellow spots nor any bleeding issues. I do however as I cut my self shaving.
Should I be recalled?

This is a non issue. Its so minor that people on here as usual are just trying to find soething to complain about. Its far less noticable than the screen yellowing on the imacs and they still sell millions of imacs

I see, now
Sorry about that. There are some extreme opinions on this board and sarcasm is sometimes hard to detect.
Nope. I guess if i got an ipad2 and that was the only way lightbleed showed up it wouldn't matter.
Mine has a very very very tiny occurance of it that you can only see at 100% brightness in a dark room. I would have never noticed it or looked for it if it weren't for this thread.
THAT'S why people are still buying them.

Because your iPad is not faulty?
Here's how they should all look.
100% and normal viewing for the most part at 50%

As someone who got into the vicious OCD return cycle with my iPhone 4, I just don't see the point in messing with it. I don't see it because I don't like my screen at 100% brightness and even then I barely see it unless I'm really trying.
I have no dead pixels, no weird raised glass problems, no nothing. I am keeping this iPad and I am just going to continue enjoying it as I have since the first day I got it. I am very happy with it.
This is true. I'm glad someone brought it up.
Sucks to have one that can show up at 30% brightness.
