Get mine tomorrow...will check it out but unless it's just a complete distraction, I don't plan on returning it for this reason. I guess I'm not as sensitive to these gradations...or I have some really good screens on my computers. I haven't had these issues and I've had 3 (soon to be 4) MacBook/MacBook Pros since 2004.
Got a tip for us?

15" MBP 2016 Screen Uniformity (White Point)

I have had my 15" MBP w/TB for a few weeks now and the bottom of my screen started to look shadowy. I just noticed it yesterday, in a brightly lit room. It is only truly visible on a white background, such a page document etc... I have taken a pic of it 50% not to big a deal yet my OCD is telling me it is. Again, its at the bottom of the screen.

like I said its more of an OCD issue, not a big deal. it does look pretty good otherwise. it just looks like smudges in those areas, but only see on a white background or page. it's like three or four spotlights shining upwards.
Your LCD is in very good shape to me - the lighting is even all over and there are no traces of any pink/blue hues.
Enjoy it and try not to fret so much!
Yeah you'll probably get one that's worse
If you wanna roll the dice I'd buy another and keep the superior one

I definitely see the spotlighting on the bottom. Very strange!
Like others said...it's a lottery. Hard part is just settling :/
I think the best strategy is to return the faulty unit to an Apple Store and then open the new machine with a Genius to inspect for faults. I have done this with other Macs without any issues at all.
Well naturally you'd want to call ahead to check stock. Can even find some BTO machines...
I am not going to roll the dice. The last one had a bad trackpad. Just need to look at the middle of the screen haha no really the spotlighting isn't really worth rolling the dice.
That's great, BUT is your screen a uniform colour temp all over or do you have green/pink or Blue/yellow shifts across it?
Nope not what I can see or read with my prob. I have a little pink in the upper left corner but when I read there it's not to much pink so my guess is that it's the anti-glare filter that making it look pink in some angels.
If I watch right at it it's not pink but if I watch it a little from the side its pink.
