Put your screen to a solid color (change background + hide dock, watch a widescreen movie in fullscreen mode), preferably a black background. At the bottom look for irregularities. It's nothing to worry about really, as few MBP's have this issue. if you don't notice anything now, you probably don't have anything because it is really hard to notice.
Corollary: If you DO go out of your way to look for a problem, you will find one whether it's really there or no.

My MBP's display is pretty much the same as that, but I can't see anything which resembles that kind of inconsistency when it's actually displaying an image, so it's not a big deal imo. I've got 99 problems but a backlight ain't one 😉
Yea I notice nothing when it's not all black. Even then it's hard to tell. And I never watch movies on my MacBook pro.
