MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in?

After leaving a striped black-and-white pattern on the screen for about an hour, I'm not noticing any image retention in the new LG display (LP154WT1-SJA1), so that's good. I think I'll keep it.

has anyone tried to reinstall the OSX? That may resolve your issue.

@Mac_Win

We are all sure that it is the LG/Philips display problem and not the OS.

I'm currently at the Apple store trying to sort this out, it's such a pain in the arse.

Now that I opened my computer at the apple store, the image retention i tried to keep is gone. I'd have to replicate ti.

edit:

given that I have two weeks, I will use this two weeks to further test this computer.

I'm pretty sure Im not even seeing that much of image retention, I'm just scaring myself.

If you stare at the same screen long enough, you will have image retention. 😝

I like what you're thinking terranwolf 😉

MAKES ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER.

you saved my day.

Hello Jerbz, installing the OSX may reset some settings in graphics and restore your display back to normal.

I've got my rMBP coming in on Friday. It was shipped July 28, so I would assume it was manufactured on week 30. Hopefully there wont be any IR issues.

interesting. I don't think they could replace the screen in 15 minutes! If takes longer than 15 minutes they are changing your screen because I don't think there is any solution for this issue.

I won the [screen] lottery! Just received my 2.3/16/256, and it has a Samsung screen! score! I am still running an image retention test right now.

You're so lucky. I hope that I get a Samsung screen.

I love how the Quality Control is so bad that we're actually hoping that we get one brand of screen. Come on Apple, just drop LG/Sharp, haven't you realized that all of their displays are getting returned 😉?

Here it is next to an LG display 13inch late 2011 MBA. I would say I got a good display as far as tint goes with my MBA. I can see a bit more yellow in the MBA screen but I am color blind so It could be more apparent. I shot this with a 5d mkIII in RAW edited with LR4.1 AWB on camera=6200k in LR4

I just returned my 2.7/16/758 rMBP that had an LG display. No obvious image retention but im not about to wait until it happens past the 14 days.

I ordered another with the same specs hoping it'd be Samsung. If not i will keep returning my rMBP until it has a samsung screen and with no problems.

Paying 3.5k, settling for nothing but the best

@ Mayizar

no they cannot replace the screens on the rMBP apparently, because its welded to the aluminum body. Atleast that's what the apple genius said to me.

Either they were lying to you and did not change the screens, or the apple genius was lying to me.

And there is no way they could have replaced your screen in 15 minutes. They would need to glue the display onto the body and let it dry. Taking the screen off would take atleast 10 minutes and the gluing process would take more than 15. Then they need to run tests. They probably just lied to you.

As soon as I'm done getting a working MBA (2nd replacement coming soon) I'm gonna order that same model rMBP an I feel the same as you... it better deliver with the same screen that's on display at the Apple store or I'm gonna be sending mine back as well. Here is a good example of the washed out display they sent me vs. crisp and colorful display they show in the store.

Is it just a complete lottery which screen you obtain? I recall seeing the same comparison on Anandtech with the MBA screens where the Samsung was much more clean and vibrant than the LG screen.

I'd hate to end up with the lesser screen on a $3,200 customized laptop. Can you call support and request a Samsung, and also when you get the new replacement is your 14day return period reset?

You cannot call and request anything unfortunately 😟.

Just keep getting advanced replacements.
