Numerous reports of blacklight bleeding on the new Apple iPad 2 are surfacing online. Engadget and MacRumors forum users are posting images of their devices online and some have already returned the affected units to Apple.

Engadget notes that this is not to be confused with the yellow tint issue.

The second issue, which is being conflated with the first, is characterized by light bleeding through from the outer edges of the LCD panel. The bleeding is most noticeable when watching a dark scene in a movie or using an app with a black background as demonstrated in the picture above and video embedded after the break. For those affected, the issue can be minimized or exacerbated by adjusting the brightness in settings.
