MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in?

I stopped by an apple store today and could not get burn-in on two of the floor models. I put up pattern that covered the screen for a few minutes and switched to a blue background like I have on mine. No sign of burn-in.

I feel much better about my replacement that is on the way.

I stand by my statement based on my experiences. Is there another computer company that honors their equipment better than Apple? I honestly don't know because I have always had Apple products back to the IIE. I know that there are no compaies that offer the breadth of sevice available at the Apple Stores. And yes, there have been times when I know something about the computers that the sales reps. don't, but almost never a Genius Bar rep. They also have turned me down for items I requested on warranty, most notably a plastic besel that had all the paint peeling off of it on the old Titanium MBP. They said it was cosmetic... and it was, not affecting the way the computer operated in the least.

Are they losing sight of who they once were? No. Every product they have ever introduced has had initial problems of one sort ot another. As you indicated in an earlier post, sometimes it's better to wait until some of the early problems get corrected. I actually had less problems with my mid 2010 MBP than any other of the many machines I have purchased from them. I waited for six months after that machine was introduced to purchase it, too.

I've also never walked away angry about a warranty issue, sometimes disappointed that they didn't agree, but their decisions always made sense. Yes, if you can return the machine with ghosting problems in the first 14 days, by all means do so. But Apple should still fix it if ghosting becomes a problem after that period.

I'm with you on 14-day return policy and after sell services. It might happen to have some stores being pain in the a** but not all of them. And if you see something unusual or something that it's not on the contract you just call the center they will assist you in the best way.

I return very fine 15-inch (late 2011) a day after WWDC 12 keynote. She just asked may I know why? I said the new ones are better and cheaper! She laughed and said alright we send you DHL to collect the product and so on.

Don't worry about it. Even if you didn't buy AppleCare at the first place you can get one before your one-year warranty finished and extend it to two more years.

Special thanks to aut0maticdan and the others for their latest updates.

I've read that Apple is still working on a 17 inch retina display but there are issues manufacturing it. I hope in the next year or so they work out the screen issues and release an 17" MBP with all the bells and whistles. I'm definitley waiting for that one.

Confirmed on mines as well.

Looks like I won't be buying a 15 inch Retina Mac Book Pro anytime soon... will keep an eye on this thread and see if it dies down or grows out of control. First generation Apple products, welcome to being a test subject. I had the first intel MBP, that got replaced 2 times.

Confirmed with mine rMBP today after reading this thread.

Sadly to see the burn-in image on mine screen, either. People who own this machine probably could try to produce this issue by putting a staic image/web page on screen. Leave it without moving at least 20 mins. Then, click CMD-H to hide the window.

If you are lucky enough, you won't get any burn-in image. Good Luck!

Refer to http://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2012/20120623_2-MacBookPro-Retina-screen-bur n-in-ghost-images.html, always apply a dark gray backgound as the desktop picture first.

After 20 minutes of a static screen, I received a very slight screen burn. It was difficult to see on the blue background, but I could still make it out after careful examination. Should I exchange it for a new one, or does it seem fine to you guys?

I have experienced the same issue, today.

After i came home form work I looked at the screen of my new MacBook Pro Retina and saw the burn effect a bit above the dock. I'm using a dark grey background.

For me it looks like Retina is not ready in the MacBook Pro.

I called Apple, and they told me that it would take several weeks to exchange it in Europe, because of the high demand.

JO

It could just be a bad batch becuase a lot of people bought it and they are using it. I know they might not know that at the moment but still few of them have this problem. I hope mine doesn't have this (it's still one its own way) but if it does i will get another one.

Nothing with burn-in display seems fine. If you are still in 14-day return policy well just get another one or if you passed over 14 days make an appointment with Genius Bar and let them check it for you and exchange it with a new one.

I'm wondering; are there people as well without this problem? if so this must have been a bad badge.

I'm really hoping it was a bad batch... would be great to see some people who did not have the problem and who were testing it extensively

Well we can always count on the people who bought it at the first or second week as a blogger, reviewers, etc. I hope they worked extensively with the device and not just review the features and make movies.

I'm crossing my fingers to be a bad batch.

So Maziyar, you have no issues with burn in? Have you tried it as per the other reviewers?
