iPad 10.5 Yellow tint/uneven brightness

saturetion = 100%, luminosity = 30%
with this cun apple tint if you are simple watch on display you cant see any defect with white color, but if you start reading about 3-5 minutes you see this ***** tint, collors begin alternate from blue to yellow and its really hurts for eyes

Could you possibly do it to these screen shots for me? I tried Photo’s to boost saturation but didn’t workout which was luminosity.
They were done in a the dark, full brightness true tone off. One (landscape, has tiny camera cutout as temp using 9.7 screen protector on it) is iPad 10.5, other is 9.7.
I know there are dull patches / 10.5 has brighter center, I tolerate but dislike the 9.7’s screen (returned first for larger storage, replaced second as had dead pixels decided to live with third but left side dimmer than right / yellower bottom left to middle) and can’t decide if I want to play screen lotto. 10.5’s while not quite as bright feels more even in terms of color (though more prone to color change off axis) EXCEPT for line of yellow above home button.
Jesus have you people not learned anything over the past 10 years? There is no magical serial number. There is no factory immune to issues. It is a L O T T E R Y in the purest form. And one man's "perfect" is another man's flawed. So not only is it a lottery, it's a subjective lottery.
Stop trying to guess which iPad will be the best. There is no best. There is subjectively acceptable. No more. No less.
not so bad
not really sure, maybe its camera`s artifacts

What do you guys think of mine? Is it a keeper? Home button is on bottom - full brightness and true tone is off
Yep ! It is a keeper ! Looks like a uniform display ! What is the serial number starting with just curious !
Sixth iPad replacement! Wow. Judging from that picture, that display looks solid to me.
Yep it's been so frustrating I never took pictures or even set up the other 5 iPads absolutely shocking displays dust etc..

Hi, looks great.
Can you post the picture with the first page of the forum opened with no tilt?
The differences seems to be most visible when reading from left to right on even background.
happens every year. ive never returned an ipad or an iphone for any screen issues. you guys are either the pickiest people in the world or the most unlucky
I've now had 1 from Argos and 2 from John Lewis, all are going back and I'm now waiting on a further 2 being delivered from JL
So I'm now on my 5th attempt for a good one, starting to think why am I bothering
Don't know what I'm going to do if the next 2 have a yellow tint
This is shockingly bad, I know we are just a tiny fish in a large ocean but I hope Apple hear of this and are at least aware of these issues
[doublepost=1499339163][/doublepost]
If I feel the screen has a yellow tint then it means I'm going to notice this every time I use the iPad, at £709 there's no chance I'm putting up with this
This has never happened to any other iPad I've had and I've had a good few over the years,this is just bad QC and should never have happened. It's something that wouldn't easily be seen I suppose but when your using it every day then I feel it has to be correct
I think you would be the same if you had just paid £1000 for a TV and there was a slight colour discolouration on the screen, it's something you will notice once then you know it's there so affects the users experience

All I want is what they advertise.. I can't edit photos on a screen with horrible yellow tint and other scree issues dust etc. And it's a expensive device.
I will just have to call it a day shame as I like the device alot.
For me this would go back, the left side I can see yellow tint
I just keep quickly looking right left right left and you can clearly see there is a slight tint

Yes.
Center- good white color, left side-yellow tint, right side-slight purple tint. Display from Apple
Seriously, people are now cranking up the saturation and luminance to prove how good or bad a screen is?
What next, electron microscopes? If it looks ok to you, then keep it. Who cares what someone else sees in a photo of your screen that they are looking at on their own (possibly non-perfect) screen
