    Did it only just turn yellow? Or has it always been yellow? I think you're pretty much under warranty now rather than the return period.

    Did you try to calibrate the screen?

    System Preferences -> Displays -> Color tab -> Calibrate...

    Doesn't fix everything but it makes it possible for the screen to go from very blue/white to very yellow so I'd think if you have some yellow tint you'll easily get it to go away.

    If it is still yellow after trying that I would take it to the Apple Store. They will probably try to put a new screen in it, but if you talk to a manager and try to reason with them, you may get a full replacement if you prefer.

    A lot of this yellow screen stuff was fixed in the recent firmware update. Run Software Update, update the firmware, and see if it goes away.

    is it a yellow bar on the bottom of the screen? If its just yellow tint maybe because its 6500k? If it wasnt yellow before and just turned yellow then yah i'd say something was wrong :p
