Mar 26, 2012 8:50 AM in response to anilsudhakaranby armydrum4,Display burn-in is not a manufactured problem. I have 20/15 vision, my eyes are just fine. And I know it's not just me because others can see it, too, while my grandmother cannot. Feel free to not contribute useless comments.

Mar 26, 2012 8:57 AM in response to armydrum4by Matthew Morgan,Are you anywhere near an Apple Store to have them look at it?
If you are seeing image retention, that could be the sign of a hardware problem.

Mar 26, 2012 9:04 AM in response to Matthew Morganby armydrum4,After reading some other threads, it appears that this is considered normal and temporary, especially if the screen's brightness is turned up, and that it fades away quickly. I have seen plenty of LCD screens that burned in permanently, so why the iPad should be any different is anyone's guess. I know I can take it to the Apple store to have it looked at, I'm just curious if anyone else has seen this.

Mar 26, 2012 9:12 AM in response to armydrum4by Matthew Morgan,Certainly, youi're not the only one to notice image retention.
Keep in mind that the kind of permanent, physical burn-in you used to see on your old phosphor coated CRT based monitors and television is not possible with the kind of LED screen your iPad has.

There is a method to avoid it and "repair" it when you have it:
