I'm going to echo this advice, it looks like the backlit in that portion may be dying.

Take it in...if they don't replace it, at least they may be able to tell you what's wrong.

This Macbook is only about a month and a half old. So it is under warranty still. Thanks for your replies, i just wanted to make sure i wasn't crazy for thinking something was wrong with it.

Yeah, it definitely shouldn't be doing this at only a month and a half old...

Perhaps I just got the cream of the crop, but my MacBook's display is very uniformly lit, very bright, has no defective pixels at all and has very little backlight bleed. Probably the nicest display on any Apple laptop I've had, including my previous original Core Duo MacBook Pro (G3 Pismo, TiBook G4, 12" PBG4, 15" MBP, 13" MB).

I don't think you have to worry. these displays take time to warm up to full brightness, and some areas brighten up slower than others. Wait until your display is fully warmed up and then look, if it is still like that then it is defective.

I have something similar with my MBP, the left side of the screen is noticeably dimmer than the right side when the display is warming up, but once it's warmed up everything is uniform.
