I'm on my second "new" iPad. Both had screen leakage. My current iPad is a lot worse than the first one I had. I have an appointment at apple tonight after work. I will hopefully receive a replacement that has no defects. I will let you guys know the outcome.

Lunar said:I would regard the fact you can visibly see actual light under the edge of the screen as not being acceptable, and am very surprised it's not affecting the display. I would be requesting a replacement. You shouldn't see any actual visible light at all under the edge, minor light bleed is when it changes the black or a uniform dark grey around the edge into a slightly lighter colour, as your'll never get a true black of course.. at least, not with backlit LCD panels.
Minor light bleed to me is when a certain spot round the edge on a black screen in a dark room is making one or a couple of tiny area's along the sides appear slightly lighter in that area. As long as it's just a tiny amount thats not easily seen, it wouldn't concern me too much as it's very unlikely to ever be visible in normal use. Anything more however, and it should be replaced, and like other's have stated, bad pixels are definately a big no,no for me too, and seeing actual light shining as in the picture under one of the edges would also be a big no no.
Well, I knew I was gonna get one after reading this thread, and sure enough, mine has the same at top of screen, only about an inch, but I'm off the the Apple shop on Sunday for a replacement. 2 hour drive for me also, so a pain in the ass really. I'll make sure replacement is fine in store before accepting it.
Best of luck, hope your next one is a keeper too.
