Hey guyes, I am really pissed right now.
Just got a brand new MBA Rev.B - W8849
Lines are visible all the time (5 degree downwards, as somebody else stated before), especially on the grey background behind the macrumours logo. No matter what I changed so far (color, displaz, resolution) it stays with the lines.
As well it comes with a symetric 2cm scratch on the lid.
I have to use my thinkpad soon, as my eyes start burning and getting dry (I wonder why...).
EDIT for answer to next post: Yes I discovered the thread (the very first one) right after my payment. As other people said, that they dont have the problem, I thought I might be lucky and gave it a try. I am just so unhappy now, as I really love the design and just everything about it. If the screen would be fine and not hurt my eyes, it would be so perfect! I am just so disappointed.
Apart from the issue I really adore it. Its features, MacOS! Its just great. Didnt even know there would be this kind of label function for files, which I was always looking for under Windows.
Thanks HLdan. Is it possible to send you a pm? Cause it doesnt show up, when I click on your name.
PS: Could it be, that the backlight somehow projects the lines onto the screen? If yes, does anybody know a method to test it?
