MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in?

Hi,

Can you do the black test please ? (http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php) Can you see the first two 2 lines properly or is it too dark?

That would be very helpful!

Thank you,

I can see the second row for sure. If i look close enough, i can see number 5, but its very difficult. I checked it on my 3 year old desktop monitor and im able to see all rows. Does that suck or what? lol

Thank you for doing the test Jimhuy.

I don't know if that ***** but my case is worse. Can you see the details in the shadow in this picture ? http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16597600&postcount=30

I can't and it's the same when I watch a dark scene in a movie.

Can't confirm.

I can actually see most of the detail. Its harder to see those small dots but everything else is good. Which version of rMBP do you have?

15" Mid-2014 (With the integrated GPU)

I need to zoom to see the details, I still don't know if it's normal.

I made a thread to ask more people about their retina screens and it seems pretty normal :/

I just buy a MacBook Pro 15" Retina, middle-2014, I'm using it for 2 weeks and it has a Samsung panel LSN154YL01-A01, and I'm having the same problem of IR, than the problem it's not only with LG displays, sorry for me.

Amazing that Apple hasn't still fixed the issue ...

What did you do? Exchange?

I've seen this today, and the Apple Support Center asked me 3 days to analyse the problem. I'll take there on monday, for that I can work on the weekend.

Two weeks with a U$ 2.500 notebook to take to warranty services is absolutely unacceptable. I had PCs for 20 years, DELL, HP, Samsung and I never had any kind of problems, I just came to Apple by the quality, usability and everything else and in 2 weeks I already have to take the computer to an Apple Center, congrats to me.

Theses screens are a disaster or maybe it's the quality control I don't know ...

I guess you're not in the 14 days return period ? Please keep us updated, I'd like to know where it goes.

I have an Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2012 and it out of warranty.

In the past the IR problem can acceptable, but now it happend very quickly and make me hard to work.

I'll bring my MAC to Apple to check, and hope they can replace an Samsung panel for me.

I took it to the support service, and they was replaced the entire display including the aluminum cover. As I said, the panel that had problem was a Samsung, and now I have a LG panel. I didn't saw any issue about colors or any what else, and the ghosting has gone.

The service was taken in 7 days, very fast.

I'll be in alert for the entire warranty period, and after. I wouldn't like to need to buy Apple Care but I'm seriously thinking about to do.

Thank you guys

I'm not sure the brand or manufacture matter. It seems the earlier displays by LG were problematic, but it seems they are okay now. And now, as geekpot stated, he had a Samsung with problems.

I also have a 2012 retina MBP. I previously had the ghosting problem with my display (LG). They replaced it with another LG display and it is fine now. I've been using it for over two weeks and I've not had any issues with it. The colour is good also - the whites are white and not yellow as some others have experienced.

Geekpot: if you're considering keeping your machine for at least 3 years, I'd get the warranty if you don't have any other coverage (like with your credit card). These new machines have some very expensive parts in them that might require the replacement of a motherboard or screen. ie. if you'r ram went, they would have to replace the entire motherboard because the ram is soldered onto the motherboard.

Not like they used to make them, but I guess it cuts cost/increases profits for Apple.

I have the same issue as everyone. Images get burned into the screen after only a few minutes. My wife took it to the Southlake TX Apple Store and they ran a test and said that the display is faulty, but it would cost 310 dollars to fix. I have had the computer since June 12th 2013, so the one year warranty is up. I normally wouldn't raise concern but as this forum proves there are numerous other people complaining about the issue for hundreds of pages..

Guess i'm out of luck unless it gets recalled. Make sure to send as many emails and suggestions as possible.

Just to report. I got back my MacBook Pro with replaced display two weeks ago, and the problem is gradually returning. Every day it becomes more evident, I will wait a few more days, even why I need to work and stay another week without my computer going to screw my deliveries. but it shows that the problem is serious, I hope the new iMacs with retina display are not as problematic.
