I've hear a few times now that the anti glare monitor in the 2.66 is NOT of the same quality as that in the 2.93. This doesn't make sense to me but was hoping someone could either confirm or deny this.
Got a tip for us?

Apple uses different manufacturers for its monitors. They either put the "cheaper" ones into the 2.66 or it's just been a coincidence that the people with 2.66 have been getting worse ones.
Who knows... may be they dont upgrade the screen they just for some manufacturing reason use another brand maybe???
Yes, it is about the production line (or manufacturer), for a same models you can find different manufacturers.
For the 15" pre-unibody MBP's there were at least 3 manufacturers and twice as many specific revisions of screens that were used. When you get the Apple part for the screen you are getting one of them, effectively, randomly.
They are all *technically* in spec, but some are much better than others.

I own a march built 2.66 17" and have ordered a CTO 2.93 17", I am more then happy to see if there is any truth in this when the new machine arrives.
Two things I have noted from my early Jan built 17" is magnetic latch is a lot stronger, screen hinge is much stronger then previously. Also it dod not require the graphics update that was released recently.
