MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in?

Oh god no! Whether you have AppleCare or not your first year is warranty. Since this one is not your fault and I believe you should be able to get a new replacement (who knows maybe you could talk them through that it is not fair to repair a one-month old machine) they will repair (change the whole LCD panel) for you for free. Only price you have to pay is time that you have to wait.

Good luck

No - you have a one-year warranty from time of purchase. You can extend that another two years by buying AppleCare anytime within your one-year warranty. I highly recommend it, particularly for notebooks.

Thank you so much！It's just someone mentioned that the genius charged him 700 to repair the screen so I'm a little worried.

Thank you! I will definitely buy an apple care in case anything like this happens again.

I've spoken to Apple and they are willing to sort out another machine which is great.

The original (with the LG screen/ghosting) needs to be collected first. In the meantime I can keep the replacement (Samsung screen but dead pixels).

When they receive the original machine they will proceed with an order for a new one.

So more waiting. I just hope I get a perfect (or at least close to) screen on the next one. All this waiting around and chopping and changing machines is a real pain.

Had this screen only had the one DP on the the top right I would probably not be bothered/have noticed. But the cluster/spot on the right constantly has me trying to wipe it away as if it were a speck of dust or something! Highly annoying

Apple need to get their QC in order especially on what is basically their flagship laptop at the moment which is being sold primarily on the superiority/prowess of its screen!

Everything else about the machine is great. I really like the form factor etc.

My machine was ordered july 14th and completed processing near July 26th.

I hope this batch of MBPRs won't have IR problems.

BTW, does anyone know which batch had the IR last?

I really hope my MBPR does not have a LG/Sharp screen

If it's really LG/Sharp problem then Apple stopped using them after they were aware of this problem. New batches seem to be all Samsung.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Is anybody here that have a week 31 or latest with LG/Sharp screen. (If there is, it's not LG/Sharp problem or they've already solved the problem)

Mine is week 31 and i called apple to check what my display is since mine is still in memphis waiting shipment

they told me mine is LG Philips.

I guess not "all" the LG have ghosting issues no?

Otherwise we can just sent it back to Apple without open the box...

I cannot believe it... 😕

well apparently Samsung has better contrast and it looks more appealing to most people when put side by side with an LG

Mine rMBP with LG panel has the image retention issue AGAIN after replacement. I wasn't aware this until upgrading to Mountain Lion. It's been one month.

Will Apple let me replace a new machine? Their QC seems so bad this time.😠

When did you order and get your new rMBP?

One month ago. This is 2nd machine after replacement due to image retention issue.

My panel seems fine at the begining because I couldn't produce image retention one month ago. Now, I cannot belive that the issue happened again.

You would have to call 1-800-myapple

and tell them your issue.

I believe your one-year limited hardware warranty is still there.

So,

today I got a call from the Support again, after sending them an email that i still got problems with the display, and will be getting my second reaplacment. Already got the order confirmation. Really nice, hopefully it will finally solve the issue. (btw, I am sitting here in Germany, regarding support etc.)

Does somebody know if you could tell them that you only want a Samsung-Screen, since it seems that its only happening on the LG-Panels? Seems like they can check it before it arrives at your doorstep.
