MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in?

Here's a pic of my maxxed out 15" retina haswell in a dark room. I have the

LP154WT1-SJE1 screen.

No Image retention, but it seems warm overall and more so on the left side. What do you guys think? People with samsung screens are yours less "warm"?

It's really hard to tell from that image. To me it looks warm on both left and right, more likely the photo though rather than anything else.

The Samsung I have is a lot less warm that the previous generation rMBPs...much much better colour wise, similar to the colours of the LG displays in the previous rMBPs which I preferred. Interesting to note that you are saying the LG looks slightly warm on the left as essentially if I look close enough I have the warmer look on my Samsung on the left handside. I mentioned it previously as yellow but warmer is probably a better term with these newer displays. The old displays were definitely yellow without a shadow of a doubt.

Can you confirm that you have the dedicated GPU to confirm nlra's idea that only machines with a dedicated GPU can be interrogated for display manufacturer.

Many reported yellowly Samsung displays, including me. I assume LP154WT1-SJE1 is LG. A better comparison photograph would be two displays side-by-side.

I think I can absolutely make that assumption. You even have people posting they have IR and don't care. You have people posting they didn't realize they had it until they found this thread or other or other posting's in other places. Actually, you're making the assumption that people would post here. You're making the assumption that the problem is gone based on what? Haswell? What different screen? sja2? That's not new and people posted long ago that they had sja2 and IR.

I've been following this thread since last summer, Nothing has changed from then until now as far as IR goes that I can see from the this thread.

Of course apple could put this all to rest by posting and coming clean on the issue.

There's nothing to say that Apple have not spoken with Samsung and LG and they are now using a slightly different manufacturing process for the displays on the Haswell machines and based on some of the new responses here that would seem to be the case.

Hey JPizzzle, same thing here. I Have an Haswell rMBP 13'', and i have also noticed that the left side have a warm colour, anyway good quality compared with the previous screen models (just a personal opinion, i could be wrong...)

LOL are you kidding?

Lets flip that around, There's NOTHING to say that apple HAVE spoken with samsung and LG.........

.....and based on some of the responses here, that would be the case.

What we KNOW is there's an IR problems YOU don't know that ANYTHING has been fixed. All you're doing is misleading people new to this thread by suggesting there's any evidence that's contrary to what we KNOW. Nothing has changed since October 22/13.

It seems like there ARE new panels for the Haswell machines.

LSN154YL01-A01 is different from the earlier LSN154YL01001

LP154WT1-SJE1 has changed from LP154WT1-SJA1 (or SJA2)

So I'm wondering if the revised Samsungs have less uniformity issues and more accurate color, and if the LGs have even less instances of IR compared to the SJA2 and SJA1 panels.

Also, using a ColorMunki on the same white balance and gamma settings with three iMacs and my Mid 2012 15" rMBP (with my second Samsung replacement) yielded all three iMacs looking the same and my laptop STILL looking different.

Many people on this thread earlier told me that whatever the quality of the panel, the same calibrator on all screens should bring the colors together so close I wouldn't notice the difference. However, the screen on my laptop looked way different still. Now I'm more irritated again; and I don't know what to do. I didn't get an error message from the calibration software.

I guess since so many people are having to turn to colour calibrators to try and fix these defective screens, maybe Apple should start including them with there mbpr's.

Shayster98 try these steps it helped a lot with my SJA2 getting it in sync with my other monitors.

Please do the following in exactly this order:

Quit the ColorMunki Display application if it is running

Reset the monitor to factory defaults if the monitor’s OSD/menu has the option

Open “System Preferences”

Click on “Displays”

For the display being profiled, click on the “Color” tab

Uncheck the “Show profiles for this display only” option

Select a profile called “DisplayProfile_Linear.icc” by clicking on it in the profile list.***

Close the “System Preferences” window

Launch ColorMunki Display

Select “ColorMunki Display” from the Menu bar and then click on “Preferences”.

Set Display Technology type to correct setting for the display

Unselect “Enable ADC” to disable this option

Enable “Achieve display luminance value using video LUTs” option

Close “Preferences”

Profile the display using the “Advanced” mode as well as “D65” for white point and “Native” for luminance.

If these results are good, feel free to profile again to a specific luminance level.

I donne think they are working on the problem. I think they are working on the next gen which Will incluse IGZO screens and get rid of the problem. It's been a year and a half they are selling défective screens so why would they care suddenly ? They Will continue until IGZO. I do think however that they are trying to use more Samsung's screen that before in order to get less return. Sadly Samsung´s screens are yellower and they get return for that too. Personnaly I would not care for that as I prefer a warm white better than IR...

I would love to see a photograph of all 4 displays together, both before and after calibration. In my experience my Mid-2012 15" Retina MacBook Pro with Samsung replacement still looks muddy, low contrast, and unnatural after calibration.

Do me a favour and listen to what your saying, you're a complete hipocrite. Telling me that I don't know what's what and you're suggesting exactly the opposite to me.

If you learn to read more accurately you'll see I never said that I KNOW something has been fixed but rather there may have been changes.

Do you have a Haswell machine to back up any of your theories so far?

I have the 15" Haswell and have had 3 bad displays on my mid 2012 rMBP, for fact the Samsung is much better in these new Haswell machines, so please don't sit there and think you know it all.

I'm basing the information I have on experience of the 4 displays I have now used and a few of the things that people have mentioned recently.

What's your information based on? The 8,350 replies on this thread more than likely but the last 100 or so are about the new machines so please do get over yourself.

Thanks! I actually did do all of that though; except the stuff in System Preferences, because your profile before calibration shouldn't affect your calibrated profile (left it on the stock Color LCD profile).

I did have ADC disabled and the adjust using video LUTS option enabled. I used native for both and D55 (I didn't use D65, but the important thing is the white balance was the same on both), so it's funny that they still looked different.
