    Apple Care, WoW is all I can say... so my Macbook is a 2010 first edition i7 andI believe I have like a 3 year apple care coverage. Everything was great with my macbook until my Bezel started coming out. Nothing serious I mean if I really wanted to I could perhaps glue it myself but I figured I have apple care so let's use it. Long story short they replaced my Screen and the Aluminum back that goes with it and the bottom piece for me. All for an unglued Bezel... So my question now is why does my LCD look so different? from what it was before. I mean they were both ANTI-Glare but now it just looks different more vibrant more color. Did the screen change? and if so what model? and any ideas on whose the make as in what I had before and what I have now?

    Thanks.

    usually they just swap the whole top housing, so yes you got a new screen... it may be a better brand... or just calibrated differently.

    I don't follow the brands.. you can look in System Profiler under the display and get a model number and web search to find out about it...

    You can make your own color profile (calibration) in System Preferences -> Display.

    Well the Color Profile is the same, and one of the reasons to show/prove this is the orginal HDD's were used as before thus the settings never changed.... :eek:

    That is true... but if all LCD screens worked perfectly identical, there probably wouldn't need to be any calibration. Sometimes the same calibration settings on the same make model of screens can look slightly different.
