MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in?

I will continue to use Macs because I'm loyal to the company and (usually) love the products.

This is why Apple doesn't give a ****, because people like you keep buying their products no matter how much Apple screws them over. Stop buying Apple just because it has a logo of a fruit on it. There are better quality laptops at much lower prices out there these days.

I had the exact same issue. I replaced the screen with a Samsung one. Then after while it started freezing, the screen would go blank when switching graphics cards. Took it in. They just called me yesterday and said it's not a graphics card issue but the logic board. They want around $800. Well, I already blew over $3000 in this door stopped. I cannot afford to fix it. I'm on disability due to health issues and only receive $1000 a month to cover my rent, food, and bills. The only problem is, I just joined a startup and am doing some iOS development, so I need a stupid MacBook! This is totally unacceptable. Apple doesn't care. They have the money and getting richer, why should they care?

Thanks for your opinion. I'll stick with mine. I'm not happy about this but like I said I'm an Apple fan regardless of this. I'm more annoyed with the manager of the Genius Bar at the Boylston St. Apple store in Boston with how he handled the situation and I'm not going to stop using Apple products because of one guy I had an argument with that in the long run doesn't impact my life. If anything I'll go to another Apple store in the future so I don't have to deal with him.

I can tell you this in regards to quality. I'm writing this on an Early-2007 MBP that I have beat to **** and it works like a champ. I've torn it apart and fixed it several times myself and I agree with someone's previous comment about the problem really being the quest for the thinest laptop possible that causes many of these issues. When it comes to the MBP I'd rather have a rock solid machine that weighs more than a thin one that has issues like the 2012 MBP had. And again... That's my opinion. You have yours.

Maybe there is better cheaper hardware, but none have OSX. That is why I buy Apple and I can name more than a dozen others like me.

I'm just really upset after service has clearly stated my display can only be replaced for the sum of 800 eur...

Image retention is a very well know defect and Apple should cover endlessly this issue regardless warranty status

A recall program is what a serious company has to start in this case

other user here with the same problem

a MBP Retina 15" with LG screen and a terrible gosthing effect

this is my fourth macbook, but i think its going to be the last one

did apple replace your retina display?

Apple took the Mac Pro tower, which was the best MAC ever made (in terms of Power and Component Compatibility) and ruined it so bad, the only way to improve it is to revert the form factor back to the tower...

the Retina Macbook was really good when released, but the modern direction of releases has been bad IMO.

adding frivolous features increases costs, increases the chances of component failure, and reduces customer satisfaction. the only silver lining here is the new release will drop the previous men's price (but not by enough).

unfortunately Apple is now a Phone Company, not a Computer company 😟 I still can't get over how they ruined the Mac Pro for me

I hope they return to their foundation soon, but only time will tell

Can't confirm.

Still can't confirm.
