I did and no problems were found.

I did it too, no problems found.

I did the test and for the moment no IR at all. Here is the code I received --- T11459T2039P1G5aBf4I0.

I'm glad to hear everything is ok for you, Leoul.

Is yours a new rMBP?

I did the hardware test and I have no IR on LG.

Hardware test gave me the error: 4SnS/1/40000001: IDOR-0.000

After a quick google search, the error was because I didn't have it plugged in, so all good.

@RetinaUser Yes it is a brand new rMBP bought 2 days before.

Try again in a few weeks; though you may not like the result ...

I have had my mac for a month now, LG screen. I see faint boders of any window or page if left for more than 5 min.

I have seen IR of only windows and webpages or any image left on screen for more than 5 min but never seen a Dock IR. How is it that the Dock part of the screen manages it self from IR ? Any possible answer for that ?

The dock has very different colors and it's rarely black and white. This could be the reason. I get bad IR with the Skype icon, where you can clearly read the 'S'.

Active application indicator and the border of the Dock is almost white all the time. Some people also reported that they can't see IR when running the recovery partiton.

Has anyone with a Samsung screen developed IR after owning the MBPr a few weeks ?

Until Apple acknowledge this issue and indicate they will repair or replace any future occurrence, I am still nervous that it may develop later and I will be stuck with it. If it was a £400 laptop that wouldn't worry me, but at this price I expect 3 years good use.

So far there is no sign of IR on my samsung and I have had it 5 days now.

I see the outlines of System Preferences icon too... If you look closely enough you can clearly see pretty much bits and pieces of all the icons. Fortuntely it's more faint. Really, the thing I can't do is browse the web. That has too many large areas of white, including the address bar. The actual gray window chrome is also bright enough to cause image retention as well. It's not just with bright whites.

Here are my test results

I've followed this thread extensively and I haven't seen any evidence that the Samsung displays have any significant IR after any duration.  Some people have suggested that there are Samsung displays that have IR but nobody on this entire thread has confirmed it.  Until there is someone to confirm it, with real numbers, I'd say that you can safely conclude that the Samsungs do not get IR.

Of course, we all know that most if not all LCD panels will experience some image retention after a very, very long time displaying a static image, but the duration of time necessary to reproduce this is well, well beyond what anyone considers a problem (hours to days).
