MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in?

should I push to get Apple to give me the correct Samsung screen i originally paid for? My concern is if I go back and request the Samsung, what if its actually worse than the LG I currently have?

From what I know, the Genius Bar staff can't predict what type of replacement display you will get. I think if you went back to the Genius Bar they will tell you that your current LG display is working properly and won't replace it. At the most they will tell you that they will give you a one-time replacement and you'll get a replacement but I really don't think they can choose which display to give you. And certainly you could get a Samsung that's yellow tinted or has a gradient or very likely worse in some way. It's a shame these displays can't all be identical so we know exactly what we're getting.

I think you took me too literally there Chris. Perhaps a poor choice of words on my behalf though. Some people will complain that there's a hole in thier donut, y'know?

Hey Kirk, No doubt you're right, I did take it too literally and I would certainly agree about people complaining over nothing.

I often comment on exactly the same thing!

Do you guys know if in the new (released last Oct 22) macbook pro has the image retention?
Does it have a Samsung screen?

Last October? Do you mean this October, as in 4 days ago?

yes 4 days ago

Could someone tell me his experience with taking in an out of warranty 15" first generation rMBP?

I feel like Apple should take responsibility and change out the Display of my rMBP since it is showing very strong ghosting - however, since the warranty ran out i am not sure how to argue and i wonder if some of you might had success in this matter.

thanks

Basically the last 3/4 pages of this thread talk about the new rMPBs.

In a nutshell, it would seem the vast majority are getting Samsung screens although this is not set in stone. Some people can't seem to find out which display they have as the terminal command is not showing any details.

IR seems like no, although one person did state they were getting IR retention on their 13" model.

I think this will be an ongoing question for many for at least the next few weeks or months until people post their experiences.

I think you'll struggle slightly if it's now out of warranty. Apple may ask why you haven't tried before?

I agree that you should recieve some help with the issue. It's worth going into a store or speaking to Apple online to see what they can dio.

Dealing with the same issue, unfortunately. Hopefully it's fixed soon.

Just picked up my 15" retina today and unlike the others who have posted, I received an LG panel. I'm in the process of testing out for any image retention.

As someone who avoids Apple's first gen revisions for laptops, I patiently waited for this upgrade and then stumbled upon this thread not knowing there was so many problems with IR.

Here's my part number for reference

LP154WT1-SJE1

Has anyone received a Samsung replacement display that is not yellow tinted?

IR seems like no, although one person did state they were getting IR retention on their 13" model.

Here is a picture of an image retention test on my 13" Haswell (30 min on black and white checkerboard). It took about 15 minutes to fade and become relatively unnoticeable. It was taken with my 5s, so it's not the best photo.

I'm glad that people seem to be having good luck with the 15" versions, but it seems the 13" still have issues. Sad thing. Hopefully the next round will change, especially when they bring out the IGZO. I'm excited for that.

This will be the last post I make. I'm taking it back. I don't want it to get worse once the warranty has expired.

Chris can you tell me why some people are getting the Terminal Command to work and some are not. I have tried everything.

Some suggestions from MacRumors:

try:

ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6

try installing Xcode (free) from the App Store.
