Not heard of it affecting the MacBook but I guess it is possible. I'm guessing that this is what happens when you get 3rd parties to build your products. Last heard Apple was seeking a 3rd manufacturer in order to keep up with demand for their notebooks which, while good for business, probably doesn't bode too well for quality control. I'm still hopeful that my 17" system will be fine but must admit that I am fully aware of the potential that it might turn out to be a duffer that I need to send back (which, frankly, will be a pain).

Never seen this issue before... The guys at the Apple Store were helpful but couldn't explain the problem either. He's waiting for a replacement now ... :-/ My best mate bought a MacBook last week and had problems with the screen (one side being slightly darker).

Damn... Anyway, cheers for the info and I'll definitely consider it since I'm not likely to be using the screen in direct sunlight or a car, although I am intrigued to know how being in a car impacts the view.

However Inside, in more modest lighting it looks gorgeous. So it sort of depends on where you use your machine and how much say you have about lighting.
