My iPad has this really bad, just like the one on the right in the picture. Can I go to the apple store and get it replaced?

Yep. But be patient in case there's a shortage. Usually they keep a supply on hand for warranty exchanges.

I have some very slight bleeding from upper right orner of the screen..its too much of an issue for me really but will it cause any damage in the lon run? If not, id rather not exchange it since i might get an even more "bleedy" ipad2...but if it will cause problems later on, then of course ill have to exchange it.

makes me want to wait until this issue is solved. I dont want to settle for "well its not that bad" you should expect and receive 100% working properly product that does not have these issues.

I think it will be smart for me to wait until more then 1/7 dont have any issues.

I have the smallest bit of bleed near the home button. It is like having one dead pixel on a monitor in the very corner of the screen. Is there an issue with the bleed getting progressively worse?

You can get ithe ipad replaced anytime during the 12 month warranty.

i just got my iPad2 yesterday evening. i'll be testing it out over the weekend and will check for this as an issue. i got apple care for it so if it should show up after the 1yr warranty period, i'm still covered.

i'll report back if i have it right out of the box.

Not enough to bother me much, I'll wait until closer to the year's end. If they exchange, do I get a brand new one(same model & version)? Or do I get a reburb one(or will they try to fix mine)? Curious.....

It been my experience with my iPhone that they will replace it with the exact same model and color that you have now.

How can I fully test if I have a severe case of blacklit bleeding?

I do se some light in the corners while watching a video with no room lights but I dont know if it is sufficient to ask for a replace.

Moreover I bought it from a retailer not an applestore.

Thanks.

Okay I just checked that my retailer offers 15 days full refund garantee, after that it is manufacturers garantee.

Ayway im not replacing my ipad whithin 15 days since theres not going to be enough sto k by that time so ill have to deal with apple.
