borders of macbook pro screen are yellowish

I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch with a Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display (early 2011)

As you can see on this picture: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wexnrh01y6u0y94/foto.JPG (screen with a full screen textedit window), the bottom-left corner has a yellow glow. This appears on nearly all the sides (apart from the top), but is the strongest in de lower left en lower right corner.

I don't think this is ok for a two year old macbook pro. Is there anybody else who got this problem?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

are you sure it is not the reflection of the very yellow tablet that is right in front of the screen?

If you are sure that it is not that you could read this article by Apple, although that was meant for the "burnt-in" effect that sometimes appears with retina screens:

If that does not help, back to apple.

thx for the reply.

But it certainly is not the reflection. It really is a 'glow' in the screen itself.

The energy-settings are even lower (screens turns off after 5 min's)

Did you do the second part of the page I gave you? the action with the screensaver.

Yep, but no success.

It isn't exactly a burn-in, but more a constant over-glow (I don't know ho to exactly describe it, the picture explains it better)

Then it is Apple's turn I would say.

I have the same problem in a 15" MBP late 2011, I make a reservation in a Genius bar hoping to solve the problem, I have AppleCare and I wanna ask if they can change the display.
