I see no value in arguing whether all the rmbp's have IR. I believe they all have the defect that eventually causes people to see the IR in the LG. What you have to ask yourself is do you want to take the chance at buying a 3-4k computer When we DO know how Apple might treat you when you complain. They're playing they same game they did with antenna issue. Blame the user. We've heard you caused the white spots by holding the screen. You have to change the way you look at the screen. Change your expectations. etc etc. Why if it's such a low number of computers did they have to create a "test" do manipulate customers? Why if it's normal, is the IR only affecting LG and not samsung. Sure, samsungs have issues also but what is the DEFECT in this computer that cause LG's to have the IR. Why if it's such a small % do ALL the LG's in stores that come of the people around here have checked have it the IR. Some people have gone as far as buying the display model on the floor with the samsung screen.
Believe what you want. It's your money. Like I said in another thread though. According to the Best Buy I went to, the screen is a known issue but not the biggest complaint they get about this computer. According to him, the wifi drops are the biggest problem they're getting complaints about.
I suspect in the end somebody will discover it was a design flaw that caused too much heat that affected all the computers and was more of strain on the LG's because of somthing specific they use on their screens. The heat also causing strain on other parts.
I just wish someone could answer this question. 1, if IR is normal, why isn't it a "feature" that most LG rmbp users see straight away? why does it show itself within weeks or months? 2 If it's "normal" then it should be consistent out of the box, no?. Also, if it's a normal feature, why isn't it shared with the samsung panel owners?
I agree. Don't forget probability though, because that's a strong argument. Getting an LG with IR doesn't mean a lot, even if a 1000 customers experience it and complain on these forums about it. However, returning it and getting another LG with IR, and then another, and then another is a lot more significant, and not just several times more significant. Each time a customer returns a rMBP due to IR and then receives another rMBP with IR, the likelihood increases exponentially that ALL LG displays have IR. After reading through this entire thread over several months, and experiencing the issue myself, as well as Apple's response to me and my fellow customers, I'm pretty convinced that all LG's will eventually be affected by image retention.
