    Hi all... just been using my macbook for less than a month...

    I notice that there is backlight bleeding as well as general backlight display uneveness on the bottom left and bottom right of the screen. Is this normal?

    I haven't got a chance to look at other macbooks since the nearest Apple store is a couple of hours drive away.

    Other than that and a single dead pixel I have on my screen, I love my mac.

    Thanks!

    Take it in. Most macbooks I've seen have had very even displays, I have yet to see a macbook with backlight bleeding. The dead pixel is a bummer too.

    Just don't wait too long before you do anything.

    Dead pixels suck, I have had so many monitors/handheld games with dead pixels, it drives me crazy!
