Why you might be seeing a pink/purple color when viewing the iPad from a strong angle

I've been seeing a lot of complaints about this - not being an iPad owner myself I thought I would chime in on what might be causing your pink/purple cast over dark colors (like black) when you look at your iPad's screen from a sharp angle.

Most IPS screens do that. Don't believe me? Find an imac and look at it from a corner (preferably top left or top right), and you'll probably see the same thing.

That's documented here:

S-IPS panels can show a purple colour when viewing dark images from a wide angle, and in some cases an extra (and pretty rare) film is added to the panel to improve blacks from an angle. This "Advanced True Wide" (A-TW) polarizer is not commonly used, but can be found on some NEC higher end models for instance.

I think it's funny because on monitors where both IPS panels and TN panels can be found (certain Dells, for example) - this was a very easy way to check if you had an IPS model or not.

So if you've gotten 5 iPads and they all have that issue, it's probably that.. and it's normal.
