MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in?

Tkank you for the answer!

You ordered it from the Apple Online Store, right ? I think i will order it from Amazon as you can send it back for 30 days.

Ok I think that was a mistake. If you order a base-model (non BTO) from the apple store you can get a replacement if yours has an issue. Maybe it will be a stock model with 24h delivery.

If you order it from amazon, you can sent it back if you are in a 14-day-period. 30 days is just for unopened items!

But: If you send it back and get another from amazon that will be to 99% the same charge with the same screen.

Ok, so what would you recommend?

Do you know what the requirements for the education store are (except being a student)? How do i have to prove that im a student ?

There can you select your university. Its the best discount:12 % and 80 € gift card!

And if im under 18 ? Could my parents order it ?

Well for 12% discount a uni account is necessary! If you order it from the education store you will be get 8%. And maybe they will not check if you or your parents are really students or teachers... but if.... I dont know 🙂

ok. I think my school is part of the "Apple on Campus" program, but it doesn't appear in the list of schools.

Another IR affected LG made rMBP screen here...

I saw it before it went 404

My fault, sorry. Here it is again:

So can people stop doing such long tests and just do short ones with a colorful background and then tell me if they get IR. and if you want to do a long one can you vary it up and do a long one and then switch to another program via expose and show me IR then. I don't care about IR on a grey background after a stupidly long time on one image as my iMac will even do that so its nothing new to me. I have never noticed it in any normal production use so as long as the retina is like that why do people care?

Why do people care? Because this laptop is designed for people that edit photos/videos for long hours. not just for five minutes. If you don't care then accept your first laptop and not do any test at all. Why are you so worried if you don't care?

Well, I didn't do any kind of test. Just surfed the web a couple of minutes and there it was (the IR, that is) and since I'm a graphic designer, I need my display to work properly. No, let me rephrase this: since I paid 2.499€ it MUST work properly, even if I was an average Joe (no offence) and not a professional. Sorry if this is of any annoyance to you . . .
