Apple has done a very quiet upgrade to the 13inch MacBook screen, according to a Computer World report.

Apparently at the end of April, Apple started shipping Unibody MacBooks with a new part number for the screen. The screen is said to be of significantly higher quality.

The old screen is a LGPhilips LP133WX2-TLC1 and has been replaced with a 13.3-inch glossy AU Optronics screen. According to forum reports the new screen provides significantly better blacks and a wider viewing angle before washout.

You can see a side by side comparison of the new screens below with the new MacBook on the left.
