My 3 month old 12" PB is dimmer on the left side. I know this is a problem with the 15", but was wondering if any 12" PB owner is experiencing the same problem.

I got mine almost a year ago (last Feb), I've had no problems with the screen other than one stuck black pixel towards the lower left. It's not really noticeable most of the time...and that's the nature of the LCD beast.

I would think a dimmer side would reflect some sort of problem with the (cold cathode??) backlighting.

Time to box it up and ship back to Apple? Have they said anything?
