LCD Screen on the 3G has a red tint...

I have both a wifi, and a 3G and my 3G has a red tint to the screen... It's not horrible, but it certainly is not neutral in color... Can I adjust the color at all of the LCD? And would this be a reason to speak with Applecare.. Like I said I really don't notice it unless It's next to my Macbook, or my other Ipad ( My wife uses it and I can see it when I'm on the couch with her)

BTW... I love these things... They have changed the way I go about my daily routines...

And yes they do have the same Wifi issues...And they were purchased 1 month apart... A small number of people my butt.....

Macbook Pro, Mac Pro 8-Core, IMAC, Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Definately an AppleCare issue.

Extremely small number of people, your snarky remarks notwithstanding.

Hi ScubaKing!
I know this is an old thread, but just interested if you had any resolution to the red tint. Mine clearly has this tint you mention. It was replaced right away by the Apple Store, but the replacement (probably same shipment) had the same tint. Clearly different than any other iPad in the store. I might return the second one (even if I pay restocking fee) and order one from Apple on line in the hope of getting a different screen vendor.
