These are also my thoughts. Honestly, I'm not 100% happy but I'm also afraid of being stuck in the limbo. Good thing now is, that I saved over 10% to the original price tag. I have 2 weeks time now to think about it... Would be interesting to know if I just have bad luck or if it's a normal thing for this notebook generation.Yes, I agree, they all look about as bad. But I don't think it is worth to keep exchanging any more units, it will be the endless limbo. Just avoid using it in a dim or dark room and mostly those should not appear so badly, as long as you keep brightness control at reasonably dim level in relation to the lights in the room. Someone who appreciate OLED like blacks, maybe want to consider MBP 14" or 16", there is no "flashlights" in the conditions where those photos were taken in this page.
