    so i got a brand new ipad 2 for christmas and i have noticed when watching a film or trailer in a darkened room that there are 2 spots on the left hand side and one spot on the bottom of the ipad where light bleed is occuring

    from googling it it seems to be a widespread problem with the device, especially when it first came out, but its obviously still an issue

    the problem with sending it back to Apple is they will prob send me a refurb where you run the risk of it being worse

    anyone else with light bleed or experience with sending it back for another?

    I can't comment on the light bleed but the refurbs they send are basically new devices. You can't tell them from new. I suppose it's a case of how much it bothers you.

    Send it back. It'll only piss you off more and more as the days progress.

    It was pretty common in the original models that were shipping early last year, but the supposedly eliminated the problem in the current models, you probably just got an old model. Send it back to apple, they send you back a new model in perfect condition.

    i have it on mine slightly. it doesn't bother me really as the only time i see it is when i'm airplaying video to my apple tv in which case i usually turn screen off :).

    it was quite a wide spread issue, most people i've heard with it said it was due to the epoxy not dry yet and fixed itself over time.

    Mine has a little. First I did not send it back to avoid loosing my jb, and then it stopped bothering me as I only see it when Ireally look for it.
