Shadow on the bottom of MacBook Pro screen?

[thecoolone1]

I'm really not sure how to explain this that's why I took a picture.

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro 13" not to long ago and I noticed when the screen is dark or when watching movies there is like blue shadows on the bottom of the screen shinning up. I know it' minimal and not sure if it's normal but it gets kind of annoying. My 5 year old laptop doesn't even have this problem.

So I guess my question is, is it normal, does anyone else or "everyone" have this problem?

a lot got that, some don't
some learn to accept it.

Sometimes, this happens when the screen doesn't press completely onto the screen, letting light from the backlight spill out and give the appearance of brightening some pixels. On my old PC laptops, I've pressed down/screwed down that corner of the screen, making much of it go away. Then again, be careful not to press so hard as to damage the screen.

So is this "shadowed" screen an issue you think? Here's another picture. As you can see, the bottom is the worst but even on the left side you see a lighter color instead of the actual Black wallpaper and the bottom is plain blue when I look at it and even in the middle you can see the light just going up throughout the screen. I just want to know if it's a good screen because I've only had my macbook pro since last month.

I have that on every laptop that I have ever owned.

Its the LED lights comming from the bottom. Theres nothing to worry about.

mine is exactly the same, the only minor flaw in an otherwise really excellent screen.

Mine is the same. It's a byproduct (sucky) of using led's for back lighting. What you're seeing is each individual led lamp. It's more apparent on some screens than others. It really varies. But they all have it to a certain extent. If you try to get a replacement screen from apple, you may end up getting one with worse shadowing and/or dead pixels. Happened to me. It's a gamble.

and they (apple) still using in macbook pros, screens like this one

Completely flawless in that regard is almost non existent and the extent your suffers from is not bad a all.
It usually something you don't notice unless you watch an almost entirely black screen.

when i watch movie i notice this, or when i start play a game "limbo"

so, i call to the apple, and they say to me it's not a normal
