    just got my macbook pro 13 2010 a couple of weeks ago. I noticed that when the screen is dark or black or when watching movies there is like a blue shadows shining up at the bottom of my screen. its kinda annoying. i never had it on my previous notebook.

    is this normal? should i ask apple for a replacement?

    i attached the picture of the screen below.

    no your not, if you look in the Apple forums its not too uncommon, it is light bleed ( hot spots ) from the LED backlight bar at the bottom of the screen.
