i bought a new powerbook about two weeks ago and i've noticed in a few places on the display that there are spots. you can especially see them when there's an application open that has a white background. they just show up as spots that are brighter than everything else. i've tried cleaning the monitor and playing with the brightness/contrast, but they're still there.
has anyone else experienced anything like this? i've been taking good care of the computer, so i don't think it's from anything i've done. and i am really in no mood to have to send it back to apple. any suggestions?

are they pixels that have gone bad? I know that apple has a 10 pixels replacement process, meaning that they woont replace a monitor unless more than 10 pixels are bad....I am so sorry

i don't think that the pixels have gone bad. the spots are hard to notice when i'm using the computer, but they are definitely there. it almost just looks like a smudge from fingers or something, but i cleaned the monitor really well.

you may be getting marks from the keys touching and rubbing up against the screen when you close it...the oils from your hands then get on the screen...you should always have between them, a piece of paper or a screen protector...:

i have kept a piece of paper between the keys and screen, except for a couple times i forgot. i wish i could take a picture of the screen, to show exactly what it's like. i may just end up taking it to an apple store and see what they have to say.
