Change your color profile (Color tab of Displays system preference pane) to anything other than 'Color LCD'. That will take care of the reddish tint.

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: http://forums.macru…

Yeah, that's about what my lines look like. I'm not going to do anything about them. My decision is based on various reports that Apple won't replace the display (including above i…

Ditto on the lines. Great shot being able to capture that. It's annoying, but not the end of the world. Wouldn't like to have to make compromises, but I think I'd take it for th…

Total crappola. Very disappointed in this, I had my beautiful 15" all saved in my cart and everything.

me too. so sad. Are they ALL like this?

Yeah they are and I don't understand why it is such a big deal. I do graphic work for a living as well and it has not affected me in the slightest. So... the question is, exactly …

Just saw one in the store. Man, that's annoying--as if we needed ANOTHER reason why the current PowerBook is a terrible value proposition.

Huh. I didn't notice it until I was a few inches away from the screen. Otherwise it looks fine for me. And I depend on graphics for a living also. I definitely would not use a port…

Buy an older model so I can have a better image? That makes sense to you? Please tell me you're kidding... The iBook I just sent back had more "solid" color meaning images weren…

all of this makes the entry level pb look pretty good! a smaller screen may be an acceptable trade-off for now.

You can't possibly mistake it for an interlacing problem. That's ridiculous. I've done tons of work with video compression, and it's not even close. Look, for 90% of us, it's a …

My screen doesn't look like the pic that VisualForces posted. I don't see the lines that are being discussed. Here is what my screen looks like at native resolution. Jim

Is that a photo or a screenshot? This issue is with the physical LCD panel, so it will only show up in an actual photo.

Ok. Here is a photo at a slight enlargement. Still no lines. Jim

jfelbab, I think you have the lines. I zoomed in quite a bit on your photo to make sure I wasn't just seeing the lines on my own display, and they are definitely present in the ph…

Someone over at MacRumors found out that the problem is caused by alternate rows of pixels being slightly darker. He checked this by creating a solid color photoshop file and then …

Yep, I see the lines.

i can see it too. i guess people who are not used to seeing that deep or even looking for the lines wouldn't have found them. ignorance is bliss in this case. i just got a friend t…
