Uneven lighting of my 24" iMac's screen

I recently had my screen replaced (under warranty).
It's a 24" WHITE iMac.
Reason: the converter, that up-converted the current for the screen, was humming like crazy, and it's kind of merged to the screen, so you have to replace both.
Now I notice, that the right side of the screen is noticeably darker than the left side.
I know, it's not an Eizo ColorEdge, but there's so much difference, that I cannot compare photos left and right any more. The difference is something like one aperture opening.
It this normal, or what could be wrong?

Well, I see I'm the only one who noticed.
But I'm also dependent on very detailed work.
I know, I know, I should have an Eizo ColorEdge.
I should...

It's possible that when they replaced the screen they didn't seat the backlight properly...I'm going to assume it's a long skinny cold cathode fluorescent bulb that needs to be in a very particular place to give you even lighting.

Thanks for the info.
Can it be done in a service center? It's really a - for me- big difference between left and right.

You will probably need a new screen again.

I just brought my iMac to the service.
And I'm getting a new screen. (Screen #3 now).
Appreciate your comments!
