Macbook Pro 17 Anti-Glare LCD Problem

Here is the LCD screen on my MBP on black background. The back light is more or less very uneven.

Is this normal to other Macbook pro anti-glare users?

What still puzzles me a bit is that fact that out of all MBs and MBPs sold, it must be only a fraction of them that has anti-glare screens. Still, most people who have tried both seem to prefer it....there should be more complaints everywhere about the glossy screens!

hi everyone!

I'm constantly have eyestrain when working on my new unibody MBP17" Antiglare (already 3rd unit (2nd replacement) - i can feel how it's flickering.

Thought my 3rd unit has no screen flickering issues on low screen's brightness settings as it was with first two units but I can see pretty much clear now how my Display flickers in certain conditions - as an example check this image:

This flickering became even more obvious when this kind of image located in the bottom part of the screen on my laptop.
You can save this image and try to open it on your Mac. Please give it a try and let us know if you can see anything.

Thanks!

Please forgive my ignorence here, but is there any reasons these problems (flickering) should be related just to anti-glare screens?

No, it's not specific to the anti-glare screens. It happens on a lot of the current and previous glossy and non-glossy MBPs.
