I have a 1.25Ghz G4 Rev A powerbook. I just got my new Powerbook G4 15inch with the new high resolution display. Even before directly comparing the two displays, I noticed that the…
Obviously the display you were looking at sucked. I have the new model, and the old model, and the new display has no lines. The old one has dark boxes around the pixels.....

On a medium (60%ish) gray background, I notice fine horizontal lines between the pixels. I haven't found it terribly distracting so far. You aren't the only one though.
I'm wondering if that might be the case. I'm heading in to the Local Apple Store to look at the display models and see if those displays look the same. There is also some kind of r…
Your displays are for sure defective. I'd throw a fit if there were lines, I do pretty detailed imaging and this would kill me. A good test is use the default color sync profile, t…

I took some pictures, but apparently my USB cable's gone bad, as I can't get my computer to recognize my camera, so I can't get them onto the computer.
The lines apparently aren'…
They are on mine as well but there is no way you could notice them in a picture... they really do not bother me at all and sometimes I even find they make the display look a little…
According to the Apple people, these displays are exactly how they are supposed to be. I compared it side by side the the new 17 inch and the old 15 inch, and you can deffinately s…

The "new" 15" on display at the Apple store in the Glendale Galleria also has a magenta/reddish cast to it. (sort of reminded me of the problematic 23" cinema displays--which by th…
I've got the same issue with my new 15" PB. Called Apple Support last night and will be sending it in for "repair". Here's a pic of what the lines look like:
