MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in?

My replacement has arrived and it has a Samsung screen. I am just in the process of carrying out a test and will report back shortly.

It's great. I have a Samsung screen and no IR issue but I'm still watching for it in the screen everyday 🙂 I'm interested to see how your Samsung works.

I hope is the one.

Right.

It seems the replacement is good. The Samsung screen seems to look a little richer and there does not seem to me any IR in my testing so far. I will keep an eye on it and report back if anything changes.

First impressions are that it's sorted. If you don't hear back from me then assume "no news is good news".

😀

I just got my shipment notification on a 2.3/16gb model. I pray to god it has the samsung screen as I will be replacing my Mid 2011 MBA/ Late 2009 2.8 i7 iMac combination with just this computer. I will keep the iMac around for a little while to use as an external, before giving it to my dad.

I swear if I have LG/Sharp screen, I'll just scream at the top of my lungs, call back to them and say that I want an advanced replacement on the rMBP cause of image retention.

I guess there is no way to tell what screen you have just based on the serial #? I've heard no other mention of Samsung supplying these panels anywhere else on the web but in this thread.

You guys think that it's basically the LG screens = crap versus the Samsung? I wonder if you can request a new system specifically with the Samsung screen if you end up with this issue and it happens to be an LG screen.

I hope not, I should get mine next week, but since I've order the high end model with 16Go, I've no hope, I think I'll get a LG screen. (I guess Apple sell much more the entry model, with the latest hardware avaliable)

I'll let you know asap.

Well, I hoped not to have to be post again but here I find myself.

The burn-in issue IS FIXED with the new machine (which has a Samsung screen). However, it has two "spots" on it which I am guessing are dead pixels.

I'm not really sure how to proceed. I have called Apple and they are willing to arrange another replacement. I'm really not sure what to do.

The ghosting being gone is greatas it really was an issue but I cannot decide if the pixel issues warrant another replacement.

There are two spots. The first one is top right of the screen about 5mm in from the edge and 15mm down from the top, it must be a single pixel that's dead (dark) as it's a very small point.

The second is on the left edge of the screen about half way up and 20mm in. This must be a small cluster of pixels dead (again dark) as it seems to be larger and more obvious.

What do you guys think? Now that I've seen them I can't help but look at them!!! 😢

Maybe 3rd time will be a charm? 😕

In my case, mine was sent week #30 (24 july), and I should get it the 2 august, I'm not sure this automatically mean I'll get a Samsung screen..

Just got mine yesterday. It has a Samsung screen and i tested it for IR by putting up this page for 40 minutes with max brightness. Found no image retentivity on screen, thank god. Seems like Apple had addressed this issue.

It's an LG/Sharp screen problem. Your best bet would to be just send it back if you get an LG/Sharp screen..

You've suffered enough. You deserve to have a machine without any problem. Don't distract by the Samsung thing or be scared that the forth one could be LG.

Get a replacement. I know it's hard to wait but you've done it so far so don't give up.

Best of luck

Haven't noticed until recently. Mine's got the ghost image as well. And yes,it's a LG. Not sure what to do, it's been a month since I bought the retina mbp, I wonder if apple will offer me a replacement.

They wont replace the whole machine, they will offer you a repair the screen which in this case is changing the screen.

Do I have to pay for it?
