I too have a new 15", and it has the lines as well. At first I thought I might just be seeing things, as it wasn't at all visible on certain colors (bright reds, for example), but …

anyone post a picture? I'm not seeing the issue, and I can take pictures if you need.

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…

I have previewed 2 of the shipping 17" PowerBooks with the 1680x1050 displays. Some things to note compared with the 1440x900 display is the following: 1. The 1680 display is brig…

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…
