MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in?

What is your background? Have you tested with Solid Gray (from preset backgrounds)?

No need for checkerboard or special tests. Xcode or Safari window would do.

I like to see that Dazzler J. I feel as though there are more users like you than this thread makes it seem. I'm not saying it's not a problem, but it's not the problem we all feared. LG Display = Swine flu

I had the dark grey background for the first 2 weeks then decided to start enjoying my MBPr and changed it back to the planet one.

If there was IR, id definately see it with the windows I keep open.

I only joine this thread before mine was shipped, that's why I'm still here now, but obviously the thousands of people with decent screens aren't going to post here.

Some people must be really really unlucky, or are just kidding themselves and looking for something that's not there.

Was in the apple store for the entire day. Finally got a Samsung Panel on my 5th try. I'm gonna kiss this computer one more time haha

But didn't you say in your earlier post that you had no IR? Did they still let you keep swapping them until you got a samsung? Whereabouts are you btw?

That's good. I highly doubt it will ever develop if it wasn't there to begin with.

I had no IR on my last one but did see a very yellowish tint so I went to swap it. They did allow me to keep swapping because I told them every LG panel had the issue so they kept letting me swap.. I did this in the Grand Central Terminal Apple store

Hi there, I'm afraid I just checked the three MBPr that were on display. Two were LG with some IR problems,

one was Samsung which appeared to be without IR. I doubt if they'll let you go through their stock for a

Samsung panel. I told the guy in the store that I wouldn't buy one until the IR problem was sorted out.

Until I pointed them to this discussion they appeared not to know about the IR problem. After I'd spoken to

the guy and showed him the IR on the LG panels he said that I'd given him some work to do.

So I guess that they may now be aware of the problem, although they sure will have a lot of returns if everyone

only accepts Samsung panels.

Cheers John.

So you just sat there cracking open brand-new retina mbp boxes, loading up terminal, and typing in the command until you found one with a samsung panel? They were okay with that?

i got a question, probably been asked before...

(btw the examples are purely for the purpose of my question, they are not true)

I buy a MacBook retina and 6 days later I decide to return it for a new one. If I have a problem with the new one do I have only 8 days left or does the 14 days restart?

Also how does shipping fit into this ??? If it arrives 3 days after I BUY it do I have 11 days to return it or does it start from when I receive?

Other scenario -- I have 2 days left to return it but it will take 3 days to arrive to Apple...does it freeze the 2 days and as long as I send it off in time I will be fine ? or do I have to hope it arrives at Apple before the expires?

I find that kind of incredble that a store manager would let you open five laptops packages because of your claim that every LG panel has a issue which they don't. Again this begs the question with what they do with the opened packages?

For any other product, simply return it with the original receipt (or gift receipt) and original packaging within 14 days of the date you receive the product. If the item is returned within this timeframe, we’ll exchange it or offer a refund based upon the original payment method.

As you can see this is based on the time you receive each computer, so yes you could get computers every two weeks for the limit of they don't allow you to do this anymore. Shipping it back, would just be notifying them of the fact and asking Apple is there is any problem. My assumption is that you are required to get the computer back to Apple within 14 days from being received at your door.

Again this begs the question with what they do with the opened packages?

They are sold as refurb, taken apart and used to make new computers, used for parts in repairs for other Macs, sometimes scrapped

With that being the case, what do you think about someone that tries several laptops without verifiy they have any issues in Grand Central Terminal Apple store just to get one using a Samsung panel? I just think some Apple employee is in trouble. 😁

lol answered each others question

i see that makes sense 🙂 I have only ever returned some headphones & also a charger I bought thinking my Mac was out of warranty so I just did in store

will be purchasing my pro online though 🙂
