Purchased my MBP yesterday so when it gets here this week I'll check build date, screen, and update thread.

? confused ? Isn't the yellowing issue confined to MacBook Pros with LED backlit screens?

but there is nothing the new buyers can do ... it's just the matter of chance. and my "F word" chance was yellowish Samsung

Yep, I played the game of luck that buying a mbp has become. Unfortunately I got burned... samsung glossy with yellow .

Already waiting on sales representative to call me back after I elevated my case up there shortly after receiving the laptop this morning. So the waiting begins again...

Week 31 Build
arrived 8/29

small ac adapter

absolutely not in my mind, 1/3 of the screen is urine yellow, and it's not just on a white background.

It's going back. What a waste of time.

sorry to hear you got a dud. do you think we could see some pictures? I have yet to see what a really bad screen looks like - a picture would help guage the severity of the problem.

You might want to keep it, they might send you a new one with the old power adapter, and we all know how much of a problem that is going to be.
