I recently purchased an iPad 2, but have been rather surprised by the poor rendering of some tones and colours on the screen. I get a sort of posterisation effect on some skin tones which makes them look really quite bad. The same photos shown on my iMac or my MacBook Pro look fine.
Today I took a sunset photo with the iPhone. Looks great on the phone and Macs, but on my iPad 2 it has pink and green posterisation around the highlights.
Do I have a particularly bad sample of the iPad 2 or is this as good as the uncalibrated screen gets?
Some photos do look superb on the iPad2, but quite often I come across shots that look really awful.
Here is a link to the full size iPhone JPG of the sunset.

Anyone with an iPad or iPad 2 care to try it and see what the colours around the reflection of the sun on the water look like? Mine shows yellow to pink to green.
