IPad Air 1 / iPad Air 2 screen color differences

Hi
I have two iPad Air 1's, fairly new, and just got iPad Air 2. When kept side by side (see pictures below: iPad Air 1 on left, Air 2 in middle and another iPad Air 1 on right. See the color differences on screen? How do I know which one is accurate? Why do the screen colors vary for a giant like Apple which is in pursuit of perfection?
Note that the Air 2 has now been returned: After placing the screen protector, the "superiority" of Air 2 screen was diminished and I found lesser difference between Air 1 and 2 screen, not worth spending the extra $!!!
See pictures below. Please also visit http://displaymate.com/iPad6_ShootOut.htm that says Air 1 usually has 7,041K vs iPad Air 2 that has 7,355K color temperature of screen, so iPad Air 2 (in center below) should have been more "blue-er" than the Air 1's on either side which does not seem to be the case! I am posting this to ask experts how to determine which is most accurate screen color and how to make sure I get iPad from the "right" batch? Any help/opinions? Thanks so much!

Hi Churych620, Thanks for writing!
The iPad Air 2 in middle is definitely more pale than iPad Air 1 on the right-most side of picture, whereas it should be the opposite. It may be possible that the Air 1 on the very right may be erroneously too blue!
I just wanted to find out how to determine which is the best "white point" or display color temperature and how can I possibly select a good piece? Also I don't understand why Air 1's on wither side have their displays that different color temperatures!
Thanks!

  • First time I planned to buy a ipad Air. After seeing ipad Air having screen problems, dropped my plan. Planning to go for samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition.

    First time in my life, I planned to buy a ipad Air. After seeing ipad Air having screen problems in the community, dropped my plan. Shall I go for for samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition otherwise wait for ipad Air 2.

    For every iPad Air with screen problems there's a million that work fine.. If you buy at the Apple Store take a good long look and hand it back if it's not right.

  • My iPad 2 sometimes has colored lines, as failures all over the screen and sometimes gets to be black whole ... What do I do?

    Sounds like a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Ipad mini retina screen colours washed out?. Apple has already fixed the issue?

    Hi everyone
    First of all, sorry if i dont write in the best way, i am from Spain and my elglish is medium-basic.
    I am looking to buy an Ipad mini with retina display.
    I readed many reviews from december 2013 that say thar ipad mini 2 screen only covers 63% of adobe srgb colour gamut. Nexus 7 covers 100%
    All this issues where noticed on the end of 2013. I want to know if this is fixed or the problem continues now
    Those of you who have an ipad mini and ipad air too, Can you compare and say me if you notice any colour issue. your ipad mini have to be bought on 2014 becouse its known that ipad mini retina 2013 have the issue.
    Thank! regards

    in terms of colours, i cannot see much difference except saturation being a bit lower on the iPad mini.
    I will agree with this. I have an iPad 3, an iPad 4, an iPad mini (1st gen) and an iPad mini Retina. Direct comparison between the devices reveals lack of color saturation on the mini Retina but it's not as bad as some may make it out to be. I'll also agree about it's looking more natural compared to the others, especialy compared to the iPad 3 & iPad 4 which can almost seem a bit on the garish side as far as saturation goes. It's almost (but not quite) like buying a new LCD TV and using it's default picture setting which is almost always "Dynamic"...and what the stores set it to to get them to "pop" on the display wall. It's nowhere near being a natural image. As was mentioned, yes the saturation is a bit diminished on the mini Retina but I wouldn't consider it much of an issue...
    That being said, I don't know if it has been "corrected" since I don't consider it much of an issue to begin with.

  • Retina ipad mini has dull color saturation

    Just bought a new iPad mini with retina display yesterday.
    I'm dissapointed with the mini display color, reds/blues/purple all were very dull. Obviously noticable right from the home screen (iTunes, Podcasts, Music icons)
    Comparing the icon colors, and the same photo on my iPad 4 vs iPad mini retina and it's obvious that the full size iPad has way better color saturation.
    After noticing the screen is below my expectations, I found the iLounge review of the new mini and they report similar color accuracy/saturation problems.
    I'm going to return my mini.
    Anyone else immediatly notice dull colors on their new retina mini?

    I believe it's normal. I recently got a mini Retina and it's color saturation is not equal to either my iPad 3rd gen or 4th gen. I also have the non-Retina mini and it's screen compares pretty much to the mini Retina screen's color saturation. They are indistinguishable from each other, aside from the Retina's screen (of course) being sharper. I really don't think there's much you can do since it seems to affect both standard and Retina models.

  • I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up.  I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen.  Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • IPAD MINI RETINA SCREEN VERSION IOS 7.1.2 can't success download apps , need to reboot every times only can download apps. Is iOS problem or hardware issue.? Local agent switch sale and tech support can't fix my problem.

    I Purchase iPad mini retina screen on July 7 2014 at Malaysia local apple sale agent switch store somehow now my iPad did restore to latest iOS 7.1.2, before that and after also facing 1new issue is my iPad mini cant success download apps and error message show can't download at this time, either retry or click done. My internet is good condition no line down, I reboot my iPad only can download but sometime can't need to reboot twice only can download. Very sad local sale and tech support can't help to solve my problem...

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • Whenever I plugged in HP laserjet M1132 printer usb to my Macbook air,a screen pop-out "the disk inserted are not readable by this computer".I uninstalled

    Hi,I'm new here and I think my problem were discussed few times before.However,I tried to follow the solutions similiar to my condition but it does not work.My problem is whenever I plugged in the HP printer (Laserjet M1132 MFP) usb to my Macbook Air,a screen will pop-out and read as 'the disk inserted is not readable by this computer'.I even bought my Mac to the Mac store but the situation remains the same.Okay with other printer but not with my HP.Sigh.The HP printer worked just fine with other computers (not Mac).I'm really sick of it.Please help me.I once plugged in an external hard drive & started Time Machine with it.The printer problem started after that.However, the hard drive plug-in works just fine.
    Your attention of above matter is highly appreciated.Thank you.

    Here is what worked for me:
    I reset the System Management Controller on my MBA.  To do so requires shutting it down, keeping it plugged in to power (I also unplugged both USB connections), and then from a powered off state I simultaneously pressed Shift + Ctl + Option + Power (I did this once and it did not work so I tried again and did it 3 times just to be safe), then released them at once, then I pressed the power button.  Problem solved.

    I also tried uninstalling the using the repair Disk Permissions with Disk Utility and moved the HP Printer software accessories to the trash (you can search the web for how to do that but that did not solve the problem either).  Neither of these options worked.

  • My ipad mini's screen keeps glitching!!!! HELP!!

    hello,
    i am having a problem with my ipad mini's screen, when i tap in one place, it starts tapping in random places.
    for example, when im on the home screen and i slide to the next page it keeps sliding rappidly between pages.
    not only that, on camera on video it keeps zooming in and out and stopping and starting videos over and over again.
    and also it won't let me tap in certain places!!!
    Please get back to me if you can,
    Thanks

    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Mac mini and new iPad as a screen?

    Can I use my new iPad as a screen for a new Mac mini? I intend to get a keyboard and mouse but don't need a new screen as I will be using the Mac as a music server?

    Thanks for your help again with my noob questions! Just switching to Mac from pc for my digital music. Wonder if I could use my pc monitor to hook up to the Mac mini, it's got the usual pc multi pin connector so will need to convert this to USB if possible?
