How bad is your MBA revB screen bleeding? [Archive]

All the screens I have seen have at least a stripe of bleeding on top and some screens have more bleeding on the bottom in addition to that!

I just opened my machine today with week5 production and it has a very thin (thinner than others) stripe of bleeding on top and kind of two blobs on the bottom corners.

As for the lines (for the curious ones) they are there but this is the best screen I have ever seen since it is way harder to notice them compared to the rest. It is a model 9C90.

Would I return it you might ask, well, I am kind of sick of waiting more for a MBA since this is my second machine since the release of revB so I am kind of 50-50 now on keeping it.

BTW, I bought this from Amazon so I was wondering if any of your returned a MBA due to the lines/bleeding issue and got a full refund from them.

Thanks in advance :)

What exactly do you mean by 'bleeding'. I understand the term to mean protuding beyond its normal boundaries, so not sure what you mean here. No 1mm or so black perimeter between the displayed screen and bezel? Maybe pics would help....

Forgive me, right now I'm more POd about my linen-look 9C90, and now you're saying I've got something else to bitch about? :p

It is light leakage where you would see bright spots on parts of your screen :D

I would rather have this thread locked than sink to the bottom without any contribution from all those 202 viewers :confused:

I assume you are the only one who has this issue ... maybe that's why there are no replies to the question : How bad is your MBA revB screen bleeding?
