If your screen flicker when you press a button, you have a problem. Send it back for warranty claim.

If you want a better screen with a Mac, get the MBP with LED screen

OMG~~~ seriously arh ~~ it's problem~~~

Hmm, well its true if you say that the viewing angle on the MacBook's is quite bad. That won't argue. But what type of "gloss" coating that a manufacturer uses affects the colour reproduction. Why do you think that professional graphic designer's stay away from glossy screens? Because the colour on the screen is "richer" than what is actually shown and of course GD's need accurate colour reproduction.

darkcurse,

Is the artwork on Macbook LCD is quite accurate to printing output, rite?

I had this Sony LCD & CRT monitors. but i always like to paint in LCD due to avoid eye strain. But the contrast in LCD always have more richer color than CRT.

I had to switch back to CRT to retouch up everything.

I am wondering Macbook LCD color brightness is suitable for digital painting or design work still?

no no no! do not use a glossy screen for accurate colour. even after calibration the colour is still inaccurate.

come on guys. you are the design people, I am not. why do I know more about this topic?

Can anyone verify is this 'screen flicker when you press a button' is an issue/problem .. I called and asked the sales person.. and he said this is normal and all macbook is like that.

Can anyone check your macbook and verify this ?
Thanks

i dont think it's normal. I read about this problem in the official mac support forum, and many of them send their macbook for repairs. But some of them said the flickering comes back after a few months

Never heard of it friend. I cant even imagine how is it anyway. Don't bother asking the salesperson lor, just send it to service centre.

i have 2 MacBook here, one my own, one is MacAsia's demo set.
no flickering also. do you have a sample video or something? cos I never heard of this problem before... and its definitely *not& normal...

richer screen is good for watching DVDs only...

what designers and photographers need is an accurate screen!

If Mac's quality is really this bad.. i wonder why will people still buy it.

Oh,btw.... my MB screen doesn't flicker even when i press 10 button at once.... -.-

i forgot to tell.. the button i press is the power button(the button to start mac). Only that power button and also when u start your mac from sleep will coz the screen flicker/(flash) once b4 it boot into mac..

later on will give apple service center a call about this

**Called apple service center(VR Technology) and verified with them also.. They said it's normal and it's not a problem . Glad~~
Anywhere thanks for all you help
