Lots of people, myself included, have fine horizontal lines on the displays of our 15" or 17" DDR2 PowerBooks (the ones with the high-res screens). Another thread explains the problem in more detail.
Do you have the lines on your new 15" or 17" PowerBook? (Please, October 2005 PB owners only!)

I can tolerate for a few minutes checking email and stuff but designing NO WAY...

I've got 'em (15" October 05 model, regular version purchased in-store), and their obviousness is directly tied to whatever I'm looking at--I changed my wallpaper to the stock clownfish one, and have to look to see it there. But solid colors are textured, and video is distractingly off. I should not have to move a laptop more than arm's-length away to get watchable video out of it.
It'd be fine for, like, word-processing though. Black and white appear largely unaffected on my display.

Are you sure there are any on the 17 inch? I thought this was a 15 inch problem only. If so the poll is going to be skewed.

It sounded to me like 17" owners were having the same problem.
Am I wrong?

Spent a bit of time in the Palo Alto store today. See them on the 15" there (just like on my own) but not on the 17".

wow...that's odd...but good news really. I'd imagine the same manufacturer makes both panels...maybe this can be fixed afterall.

Got them here, but they don't bother me. i didn't notice them until people started bitching about then on this forum.

i bought my new 17" today. no lines. the display is gorgeous.
hated having to shut it down and put it back into the box when my lunch break finished. i can't wait until i get home to sit down and install all my apps and get it set up.
i love it, i'm so happy

new 15-incher here... the lines were fairly noticeable at first, but after calibrating the display and changing the gamma to 2.2, the lines are only noticeable when viewing the monitor from a very short distance (about half an arm's length).

how do you "calibrate" the display and change the gamma setting?

As I've described in the "New PB 15inch Display lines?" thread, my new G4 1.67 DL 15" PowerBook's display is perfect and beautiful -- and I only say that after doing some research and testing it to be sure. Initially I saw nothing wrong with it, but became concerned after reading many of these posts about how widespread of a problem this is (including some people making wide-ranging declarations about EVERY 15" PBook having these issues with lines), but the fact is my 15" PowerBook display looks as good or better than any LCD I've ever had!
