anybody who thinks that yellow tint is going to go away on their own needs to get their head checked out. but hey, keep believing it if you want to.
meanwhile there are non-yellow ipads out there. me, i'm LMAO.

Okay, I'd like to get this said while we're just a few posts in:
The yellow tint goes away when the digitizer adhesive cures.
If you still have a yellow-ish screen in a week or two, go swap it out at.
Don't bet on it. My first and 2nd 4s didn't change color at all from the yellow haze and I gave up hoping to get a blueish tint. To be honest, a yellowish screen on my 4S isn't a big deal, but the yellow on my ipad 3gen is.
below is the ipad2 on the left and new ipad on the right. That is simply ridiculous. I will give it a week at full use and then decide what to do. But I'm guessing it won't go away... just like my 4S.

Yeah I'm pretty sure there are two different issues: certain panels that are yellower than others (maybe between different suppliers) and then the glue issue. If the tint affects your entire display then it's not the glue it's the display itself and it won't likely improve over time.

They don't really say either way if that's the case. But they DO say:
Just like the iPad 2, the front panel is glued to the rest of the device, greatly increasing the chances of cracking the glass when trying to remove it.
Gobs, gobs, and gobs of adhesive hold down everything in place, including the prone-to-start-a-fire-if-punctured battery.

Apple could make all these complaints go away by adding colour calibration (or even just a temperature setting) to iOS - that way people could set them how they prefer

Does anyone remember going from an original iPhone to the 3G? Basically the same thing and everyone was going to return theirs unless Apple fixed it. Apple never fixed them (they weren't brocken just calibrated differently) and no one ever returned one.
I have the warm(yellow) tint, and I love it.
both of my previous iPad's were the cool(blue) tint. Now finally, both my iPhone and iPad are 'warm'.
The screen is AMAZING. Even normal website graphics look like they're a higher res.
The iPhone 4S' camera is amazing also!

I have yellow tint but will sit it out for a couple of weeks (until new stocks come into Apple) & see if it improves in the meantime...
Thats not bad at all.
True - it came out less yellow in the photo than real life. Having said that, it is noticeably more 'creamy' than my iPad 1 or iPhone 4.
Happy to wait & see what evolves.
Yea I could deal with it if mine is like yours appears in that photo. My iPhone 4S looked like some of the other iPads shown but the yellowness went away. I of course will give my iPad the full two weeks to see what happens.
Ugh! This is typical Samsung! Their displays are always too warm with greenish tones which look horrible against the iOS grey/blue GUI.
I was so excited to hear the Sharp and LG rumors - that they would be supplying the retina iPad displays. Sharp and LG always have better color calibration (in my experience) with super clear and bright whites.
I don't think this is a yellow versus blue thing, it's yellow versus correct tones. I do not see the world with a warm tinge, I see vibrant and clear colors.
Whites should be white, reds should be vibrant red (not blood orange) and so on. I will hold final judgment until my new iPad arrives, which should be within the hour.
If LG is a supplier for the 3rd generation iPad, I hope I get one with an LG panel. I don't care about the state-of-the-art technology that Samsung has to cram all these pixels in a small display and the ability to produce them in huge volumes. If the color calibration is off, nothing else matters to me.
The iPad display IS the iPad.

I agree. Just like with the new iPhoto for iPad, you can select the person's skin tone to automatically adjust the white balance.

Although usually true when shipped directly from China, a lot of the preorders have been sitting in the US for almost a week at FedEx centers and probably sitting in China for another week. I hope it's just the glue drying but there have been some cases of a permanent yellow tint. OP, try not holding it next to another iPad and see if the yellow tint is there.
