    I found that reducing white point along with increasing contrast improved it and makes it seem more normal without the burning.

    Now I understand.
    I was confused that what I thought was my screen breaking down, was actually a burn like my old plasma television.
    I could not figure out how suddenly after a while it was OK.
    Now I will always stand by after use rather than leave a still lit screen.
    I think I'm correct with my analogy.
    Reducing the brightness certainly helped recovery.
    Thanks very much.

Pay for motherboard replacement too. Look on youtube at Louis Rossmann's videos for plenty of examples of this. Me personally, if I can avoid going to Apple and I have a free stopgap fix which does what I need, I will stick with the free fix until it really breaks.

    I have a question for you. I have a small Apple Mini IPad iii and it seems like it’s been operating fine so far. However, during the last few weeks, I took a series of pictures with it under a semi obscure light, inside of my house. As soon as I started looking at my pictures in my gallery I noticed different kinds of interesting crazy paranormal phenomenons appearing inside the pixels, which actually looked a lot like unknown people or faces. I was just wondering if all the iPads do that, or if it’s not just a figment of my imagination? I need to know your opinion on that please. Thank you for this magnificent presentation.

      You can adjust the 'reduce white point' percentage to see if this makes any difference in your situation. Note that the changes take some time to 'settle in', it seems like some pixels that are 'over excited/over bright' take time to 'calm down/dim down to normal'. Using quotes here because I really don't know what the technical words are.

    I did the same thing 6 months ago and thought it would fix it.
    Stumbled upon this video trying to find solutions. So im just here to tell you that this just fixes the visual field of the device and not the actual LCD. Last week my iPad turned into a white screen with a black halo around it. This means that my LCD just burnt/fried. If you are looking for a long time/permanent fix, i suggest to get your LCD changed or just get a new one. I'm actually kinda broke so i have no money to fix mine, just finding tricks in the internet.
    Goodluck everyone and have a nice day.
