macbook pro lcd screen issue
When purchasing my oh-so-wonderful MacBook Pro from the Apple store, I was given the option to get the anti-glare screen seen on the G4 powerbooks or switch to the new glossy screen at “no extra charge”. Thinking I would be doing a lot more photography than I have been, I opted for the glossy screen which has better color representation. (plus it’s nice for watching movies :P)
Well, I’ve had the machine for about a half-year now, and have had a couple issues which were resolved quickly – all in all, nothing to complain about.
And I still don’t, really, it’s just an annoyance.
So I’ll let it rip: My screen has a weirdness. I don’t know how else to explain it. It looks like a dead pixel cluster, but the pixels aren’t dead… they are just miscolored. It looks like a deformation of the screen, but it gets worse when you look at the screen from an angle. I really don’t know how else to say it, so here’s a pic:
That’s looking at it from an angle, so you’re seeing it about as bad as it gets. (note the two whitish specks on either side of the crop tool icon) Like I said, it’s not a terrible thing, just an annoyance. It’s not a scratch that I can tell, it almost looks like it’s part of the plastic coating itself…
Anyone have any idea what it is or if I can fix it?
But the best part is that I took that picture at work. I asked Brendan, the photographer, for a camera to take a quick pic of my computer screen. He handed me a Nikon D2X with a 60mm f2.8 macro lens (which is why you can see everything in such pixelicious glory) Check it out at a larger resolution. I have it in all it’s 12.8 MP RAW glory as well :P
