Screen problem

Your screen is dying, if you have applecare they'll replace it, if you don't then ask nicely and point out it must be a problem with the component and you might get lucky. They did have a fair number of problems just like this on the 27 inch imacs a few years ago and the airs have been known to do it as well.
As far as I can tell the only fix is to replace the screen.

Its only 18 months old and didn't extend warranty so not what I hoped to hear but thanks for the reply.
I wouldn't atke it as gospel but that is the only information I can find on this issue.
If you are in europe you have 2 years for manufacturers defects, in the UK you can argue your case for up to 6 years....
Excellent take it to apple point out that it must be a manufacturing defect and calmly and firmly insist they fix it, don't take no for an answer and print out apples own blurb from the website about 6 years limited warranty from their website. They hate it but they can't argue that anything you did caused this.
