Ipad Air yellow screen tint on left hand side?
Hi, I have just got a new ipad air today. I am noticing that the left side of the screen has a yellow tint. Should I take it back for a replacement?
iPad, iOS 7.0.3, Ipad Air

yes
Apple have just bought a company that specialises in brighter clearer screens. I think they know theres an issue they just won't admit it.

Hopefully this problem will come to an end.
Just bought a macbook air had the same yellow tint problem. I don't want to change the color profile or whatever.
I just want a product that i buy have no defect whatsoever.
Bloody Apple.
GGSunny12, keep in mind that LCD screen uniformity issues are typical in the industry. Further, different colour temperatures for different LCD screens are even more normal (the colour profile is there partially for that reason, so use it!).
The Airs and Mini Retinas do appear to be worse than average with screen *uniformity*. Personally I think their design makes it hard to achieve uniformity. If we complain about it we must have a balanced perspective (if you are discerning enough you'll easily see uniformity issues on every LCD screen you own). Here's a helpful link:

Orkut, you're rather particular about light leakage ... that doesn't seem too bad to me :) How often do you see it in everyday use?
Your photos of the yellowish screen would be better if you brought up the keyboard, or just something on the screen where the sides can be easily compared. I am sure that many sceptics would not see much of a problem with your photos.
Hi, after five months after I have buyed my air 3g, I've replaced it because in it's screen there was an grain dust.
Now,, my ipad air has a perfect screen uniformity but the color of screen is warm.... little too warm respect of my previous ipad air.
it is possible that in the coming days will become less warm / yellowish??

I bought an iPad Air and it also came with the screen uniformity issues. It came with a darker band on the left side of the screen and it was horrible.
The model was manufactured by Foxconn in Brazil. Will made in China with the same defect?
I sent it back to Apple and got a refund.
Finding an acceptably uniform Air is still a lottery and I doubt anything will change. I suspect the issue here is that the limitations of current lightguide technology are exacerbated in Apple's designs and/or manufacturing capabilities, making it difficult to make a uniformly lit screen.
This is very bad? :(

I bought my 3rd ipad air this afternoon, still find the left half screen yellowish than the right side.
For those having yellow tint on either side of the iPad. Just live with it like what i'm doing. Hopefully Apple will improve on the next iPad.
I know your post is extremely old, but with the serial number thing, I checked my iPad mini with Retina, which I heard has awful screen problems as well, similar problems the iPad Air was experiencing, and it's serial number code is DLXL, it has a perfect screen that I'm aware of, but it has almost bubbles inside the glass in a couple places, and some of the paint from the black bezel behind the glass is missing in the upper right hand corner, and I can see light escaping if I view it from a top down angle.
