Does your 10.5 have a yellow band/warm bottom edge in portrait?

Not too bad. The left side is different than the right side but in the overall scheme of things, it’s a keeper.
Nice. I felt line the black levels were improved. I was right!

And I promise you, the claim it doesn't support P3 is 100% wrong. Not sure what the issue is. But come on, Apple saying their hardware has a feature and omitting it? (Lying) Riiight....

Yep, I'm afraid to exchange it and play the lottery again...
sometimes I don't see it
I need to switch to search mode like: "I wonder if it is still there", so I think the screen is good and I can live with it
As mentioned, the left looks a little different to the right of the screen, but photos can exaggerate things. If it looks OK to you, then keep it.

Looks like something going on on the left side, but the photo isn't head-on, so may just be the angle.
A good screen test to show the wide colour gamut p3 working.

I don't buy it. I have an old HP display from 2010 which is def not wide gamut and on half of these I can see p3 as more vibrant and colorful. Not a good test.
It sounds like you don't understand the test and how the tech works.
"If you're not using a wide-gamut display to view these images, the different versions might be quite similar, although color matching might produce a difference."
When viewing a P3 color space on a smaller gamut display colors will often look blown out. Perhaps you're perceiving blown out as "vibrant". If you see a difference between the 2 images and the P3 looks "better" it doesn't mean you're actually viewing in the larger color space or that the test is false. Your monitor trying to correct the image but it is not P3.

Not blown out at all. All details are fully rendered and visible.
Not sure this test is accurate.

Why don't you email the websites creator and tell him you think his work is false based off of your monitor that doesn't have a wide gamut.
Until you see a P3 screen next to your monitor, how can you know what it's supposed to look like? You can't see a color that doesn't exist. You're claiming to know whats true and correct when your equipment doesn't have the ability. Blown out doesn't necessarily mean no detail or even that it doesn't look good (although usually true and obvious), it means the colors aren't accurate and they are over saturated or too bright. Without a trained eye or something to test/compare it to, you can't say that your monitor is displaying it correctly.

I am looking at it next to my 2017 OLED TV with 99% DCI P3 coverage and it looks identical.
Lol. I have a hard time believing your standard monitor from 2010 has the same color reproduction as your brand new OLED TV. Even if the images are not truly P3 and are presented in sRGB, the colors would look different due to hardware and age.
The exact same images that showed more vivid on my monitor were the same on my OLED. Of course OLED is more saturated because the technology is different; I was referring to the images that clearly showed a difference on my monitor. They are the same ones on my TV and showed the same push in vibrancy in P3. The other images didn't show any difference and they were supposed to. The test isn't definitive let alone useful.
I replaced my 10.5 (dead pixel in the middle) with the current one, which I believe the screen is good. The only thing that bother me is the sim tray which is around 0.2mm not fully inserted
Does it worth for another round of LCD lottery?

I'd say keep it. If you do another exchange chances are that you may get another issue and your back to square 1.
iPad number 3 just arrived. It's the best so far but I can still see that the edge near the home button isn't as "clean" looking as the top.
Yes everything was off in that photo. IRL it doesn't look quite as bad as the pic, but it's going back to Apple.
One day when all the stars align and Apple hires a QC and QA team AND they quit outsourcing to numerous vendors for displays, chips, etc...Maybe just maybe we'll see an iPad and iPhone that looks just like the Apple website pictures.
Good luck in your quest for a proper display with no yellow, no scratches, no dust under the glass, no pixel issues, and whatever else plagues these iPad Pro's. The last one I had that I returned yesterday had the yellow banding above the home button but it also had a MUCH LESS vivid brighter whiter screen than every single 10.5 in the Apple Store, it was remarkable how much dimmer it was with all display settings set identical. Plus it had a static white line that would flash across the screen at start up....

Doesn't look like it. Lots of people still going through multiple units to get an acceptable, yet not perfect, copy. Looks like if you want a 10.5 pro you will have to live with some level of screen uniformity issue, whether that be brightness, yellowing, etc.
I do wonder why this issue seems exclusive to the 10.5 Pros... At least, I haven't encountered any threads complaining about previous models.
