screen un-eveness...what would you do?

[gonnabuyamac]

ok.. so i just got the third new screen put on my 2 month old macbook pro. i actually liked the screen i had last time, but the backlight was all screwed up and it kept flickering.

so, now i have this.

Do you see what I'm saying about it being uneven, or am I just being picky?

Can you take the picture farther away because I dont see anything.

wow... maybe i'm picky. look about a 1/3 of the way in from the right and notice the darker area that goes up from the bottom.

It definitely looks darker over there, you're right.

I don't think it is all that bad, is it noticeable to you on a regular basis when you're not staring at a white background?

It's not super bad. just annoying that it's a 'pro' machine and the screen is worse than a regular 3 year old vaio.

Use a black background to resolve the issue.

If it bothers you, get it serviced. You're well within your warranty period, so go for it

I'd complain, unless your camera exagerrates it

nope, that's pretty accurate.

Complain and complain some more. I went through 4 screens at the "repair" place. Don't be fooled. The screens at these "repair depots" are generally from older production runs (from what I've had). This screen I'm using now is a samsung with horrid yellowing at the bottom. They've replaced the hard drive in this machine as well.

All 3 screens that i have gotten back from apple all introduced a new a problem, or had the same problem but worse.

Called applecare, complained - they understood and I am now shipping this MBP out and getting a brand spanking new one in the mail in 5-6 days.

Apple has the best customer service I've ever seen, just not the best repair services.
