MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in?

Do you know if the middle east (Dubai, UAE) can replace my rmbp with a new one or repar it with apple care like you guys have in the US/CA and Europe?

Thats normal. It looks the same on my MBPr and my wife's MB Air.

Confirmed +1

LG, week 32

LP154WT1-SJA1

I am going to return it.

What an excellent thing you did! Great job

It will summarize the issue, determine if you have the issue, and give you solution methods.

Awesome!

There's one thing not clear: when you return a rMBP within the 14 days, should you pay the mail or does Apple pay for it too?

Same happened to me!

I live in Bucharest, Romania and checked 4 MBPr's at local retailers (since I have ordered mine and expected to arrive next week).

Three of them were LG and showed IR after only 1 minute on a dark grey background!!!! The fourth was Samsung and "surprise" no IR at all! Very, very dissapointed about this bs Apple is selling!

I talked to the guys in the showroom and they told me that current Mbpr's have multiple issues (have you heard that the wireless fails if you connect a bluetooth mouse - say magic mouse- on every current mbpr even with ML installed?) and that Apple does not recognise these as problems.

It seems Apple is not anymore what it used to be in terms of quality.

I can understand innovation but what good is it if in comes with a faulty product.

In the past I have exchanged one Iphone 4 and three! Iphones 4s till I got one actually that worked.

Big thumbs down for this.

Totally agree with you.

I guess Apple is too busy now with the launch of the upcoming Iphone5 so till september I doubt they will give an official response to MBPr issues!

And they are doing this using our money, time and nerves!

Didn't you get the memo? Apple is a phone company now.

I posted a while back.

1st rMBP was a good LG no IR (2.3/256/16) I wanted to spec up to the 2.6 so I returned it after 7 days and recieved one with a Samsung screen, no issues (SN does start with C02). Both looked good, white point was definitely different and the LG was slightly dimmer.

Side note, I have a brother in the home appliance industry - he claims that LG ***** at making home appliances too. FWIW.

Your brother is right, If possible go up to an electronics store and look at the image quality of Samsung vs LG LCD TVs.

LG is a perfectly good manufacturer and makes many excellent products. I would guess though that these dispalys are actually coming out of a SHARP factory.

Yes more than likely, as it was Sharp / Philips that developed the 'Retina' display technology. Apple just purchased the rights to it.

LG is an up and coming manufacturer but based on what I have seen and see living in Asia, LG quality (or their subsidiaries) is not as refined as Samsung (not even saying Samsung is the best). In addition, what I am seeing with these Apple LCDs reaffirms my beliefs.
