IMHO all the LG displays have the issue more or less, but 95% of the users don't know about the issue yet. The 13 inch will tell us a lot - if the 13 inch LGs are IR free than something was learned at the expense of early adopters
Your opinion appears to me, to be wrong. I was at best buy looking at the macbook pro retina, the one that is on and ready for anyone to play with.
Now, i checked it for the screen make, it was an LG (using terminal).
I putted up a checker board and left it for about 5-8 minutes (understandingly, a short period of time, its weird to stand around too long)
The computer showed no IR, additionally, i did not look for it (sadly) but the dock didn't appear to show either. I did not look directly for it, but if there was any IR, i did not notice it; i looked pretty good for any image on that gray background though.
So this is a computer that is on 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, for at least 70+ days.
Which is way more than anyone with a life could use a computer.
So we are talking 840 hours. about 30% of which is probably idle. (no one was using the PC when i got there, or when i left)
Given the screen had no IR, i can only assume the screen was not faulty. Remember that the laptop has been there since launch.
Additionally, one must realize, that maybe there are many people who do not notice the IR problem. Many people who own the laptop without a problem, won't come here and say they have no problem. I don't look for forums about problems i don't have anyway.
However, it is interesting that some people appear to get 3 of these things with the same problem. That, i can not explain with numbers, other than the fact that many LG displays are bad, though this forum does not offer a clear statistic
If you go to a soccer loving country and ask them if they like american football more, what do you expect their answer to be?
Where as, you go to a problem forum, what do you expect to read?
I wish someone could get some solid statistic proof of the issue (Apple) and let us know
And polls don't work because of trolls (though most of the people here appear not to be)
