I've had a helluva day. I picked up my new Macbook Pro and was so excited, it truly is a stunning design - the engineering incredible. Then while setting it up I notice 2 dead pixels. It goes back.

I check the new one out in the store on the loadup screen. No dead pixels. YAY! I set it up, calibrate the battery, and then go to play with my new toy. I noticed a flickering on the screen on the left hand side. It sometimes stopped for a while but never went away. So I am a afraid I have a bad GPU or something. Not only that, the colors appear washed out.

I am so frustrated. I hated to return my other one on account of a couple dead pixels, but I know they would have driven me nuts over the life of my owning the Macbook. Now my second one has flickering white lines and washed out colors. :(

Is anyone else having the same kind of problems with theirs?
