iPad 2 Owners Complain of Backlight Bleeding

iPad 2 Owners Complain of Backlight Bleeding

Posted March 12, 2011 at 6:17pm by iClarified
Numerous reports of blacklight bleeding on the new Apple iPad 2 are surfacing online. Engadget and MacRumors forum users are posting images of their devices online and some have already returned the affected units to Apple.

Engadget notes that this is not to be confused with the yellow tint issue.

The second issue, which is being conflated with the first, is characterized by light bleeding through from the outer edges of the LCD panel. The bleeding is most noticeable when watching a dark scene in a movie or using an app with a black background as demonstrated in the picture above and video embedded after the break. For those affected, the issue can be minimized or exacerbated by adjusting the brightness in settings.


Are any of you experiencing the same issue?

Do any of these people have TVs? Bleeding naturally occurs on all displays. It's called turning the brightness down

Ppl, before writing bullshit here, please navigate to wikipedia and read about "Backlight". "Bleeding" is a normal effect among LCD panels.

Apple blocked it, not because the processor couldn't handle it, but because of the battery and because of the less difference with iPhone 4 I guess.

Are memories really this short? Just like the first iPad and some iPhones, the bonding agent will dry and the effect will go away. My first iPad had it for a week. My new iPad has it but it's already mostly gone away

dude! u mixed two issues the one you are talking about is the yellow tint and that gets away after using the screen and bonding agent gets dry, the one they are talking here is another, please read the article and see the video then comment.
