macbook screen wave/rippling effect

[borly]

I hope my 3rd one won't have it too bad. I can deal with a slight ripple after this one. This isn't that easy, it's really a job on the eyes.

there are times when i used only half brightness with my sony, especially with darkly lit rooms.

i don't think i can do that with my macbook now, because of the ripple effect. it's always at full brightness.

Does anyone resolved this problem? My macbook core 2 duo has ripple and waves too in monitor!

I booght the mac on 16/12/2006

I've got this on my PowerBook, doesn't bother me at all. I put it down to the fact that the screen is an LCD, meaning Liquid Crystal Display. Liquid ripples, why is the the liquid in my screen any different?

If it's a defect it's one Apple hasn't fixed for four years.

Me too

I have a new BlackBook (purchased around May 1) and I recently noticed the shimmer after doing some tough work in Aperture.

Now I notice it when the computer has been working hard and the screen is down around one or two bars of brightness. Seems like many people have this problem, so I don't think I'll demand a replacement. I mean, the next one could have the problem, only worse!

I will pick up Apple Care. If it gets worse, I'll be totally covered. Except for the fact that I won't have a computer in the meantime. . . Maybe it's an excuse to get a second machine! New iMac. . . hmmmmmmmm
