Is anyone purchasing new MBP's experiencing this issue, or has apple resolved it?
Jeff
just got my replacement MBP
from a 2.2 GHz MBP with 9c66
to a Penryn 2.4 Ghz MBP with 9c81
guess what i'm gonna do?
i won't run any test anymore as far as the LCD yellowish tint is concerned.
i calibrated it and to me it's ok..
not that much of a difference with the former.
i'm just tired.. TIRED of shipping and waiting for the replacement..
( inbetween shipping, i have to go to the local apple store to document the problem)
aaahh.. i think i'm having a relationship with the FEDEX courier bec of this!
Since you bought it from the store, why don't you just take it back for an exchange? it's easy to do and there are good ones out there!
Also, do you see any weird, alternating darkish, vertical shadows at the bottom? Basically every inch or so there is darker shadow, alternating dark and light across the bottom. It's very slight, but still there...
All this is crazy!
Got a new display. Still the same LG 9C81 model. This one doesn't have as much obvious yellowing on the far left and bottom, but the mura is all over the place and I have uneven backlighting. So crappy! I'm calling up customer relations to get a new screen. This is the pits...
Are you sure you guys aren't just seeing this when looking off center or too far from above or something? ALL my LCD monitors have 'yellowing' when looking from the sides, but it disappears when looking straight on at the proper elevation angle. The same is true of this new MBP I bought. It's perfectly 'grey/white' looking straight on but if I stand up above it or look from the sides it gets more yellow the further I move away from straight-on. I can't help but wonder if someone 'noticed' this and then everyone else who never paid attention to it before also noticed this and now they think something is wrong when this happens on all flat-screen type monitors.
Absolutely not a reflection as you can see it in the dark. It's almost like a yellow stain across the lcd. Anyone who has had the issue can see it no problem. It's not nearly as subtle as you might think. Any text document makes it easy to see the yellowing as it shows up best on white windows/docs.
Im not saying this problem doesnt exist, ive seen it first hand. Its just very odd that Apple replaced the screen 7 times and each one had the same issue. Makes me wonder if its a cable or gpu problem.
