It is common. It happened to a used PowerBook I bought. It was fine for a month then exhibited the symptoms you mentioned on every wake from sleep, every bootup. It will fade and shouldn't be noticeable as long your brightness is on full.
Rumors were that it was the Samsung LCDs and not the LG LCDs that Apple used, but for me it was the opposite. I replaced an LG with a Samsung a few months ago and I've been fine ever since. -----Original Message----- From: G-Books [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David M.

Never happened on mine and as far as I could tell while it was real it was not very wide spread. I spose its possible you have one that has that problem, its a direction to look in.
