Series of Dark Spots at the Screen Bottom

I'm seeing the same thing on my brand new 15" MacBook Pro. It seems like there are waves of disturbance at the bottom of the screen. I uploaded a picture of it here:

Maybe there is a manufacturing issue with the screens on these machines.

My dark spots seem to have gone away now. Perhaps the screen took some time to "burn in" or the spots happen when the computer is cold.

I also had this problem, but it happened after the computer had been on for quite awhile. It went away as soon as I rebooted though... I ran diagnostics on it while it was doing it, but nothing came up. It's clearly an LED issue and not Graphic Card problems... hmm...

I have spots at the bottom and left side of my LCD. First appeared to look as the screen was dirty (and as mentioned by another post, only really visible on light or white background). They are not the same size. Took it to Apple Authorized repair, tech said it looked like the liquid (of LCD) was "leaking." Said he needed to send photo to Apple, Apple denied repair/replacement citing abuse / environmental (excessive heat-cold). Needless to say I am not a happy camper, my MBP is a very pampered laptop, no abuse or exposure to cold/heat extremes. Tech said this could eventually "creep" across screen. On top of that, who wants a computer with a "defective" screen? I have appealed to Apple to reconsider their denial; will post here when I hear back.

The exactly same thing has just happened to me from my recent purchased MBP (2 months ago). I often see the very noticeable uneven waves. I'm wondering how you fix this problem. By contacting Apple care? or Complaining to the customer center? Since this is my first purchase of MBP, I don't know what I should do. Thank you for your help in advance.

Applecare contacted me and reviewed my case and decided to replace the LCD. I received the mail-in box 10/29 sent it out 10/30 and according to the "status" repairs have been done on 10/31; so I should receive my MBP back next week.

The person who posted after my first post, with the link to the photo of their LCD...I'm no expert but your LCD looks like it may have a backlight problem. But, that would be (IMHO) a defective LCD. I would contact your nearest Apple Repair for diagnosis/repair.

This seems to be affecting some of the brand new unibody MBPs too. Please post the results you get from Apple. Thanks.
