I got my macbook pro retina last week. I had compared with my macbook pro (mid 2010). Then the result is Macbook Pro Retina got yellow tint. I have got some research, Samsung monitors are got the yellow tint. Also, I had compared in apple store, their LG monitors are whiter than Samsung monitors. Should I need to replace it? I have uploaded 3 photo for reference.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Try going to System Preferences / Displays / Color and making sure that Color LCD is selected as the Display Profile. If it is and the problem persists, you may have to opt for the return. Remember you have 14 days for a no-questions-asked return, so don't dawdle too long.
But I am more of the retina of the Apple Store.The result is almost yellow.So, I think if I replace my MBPR, and get the new, but also more yellow.
It may be a generic issue with that type of display, and hence unavoidable. Maybe some pro photographer can chip in this discussion for more details, but AFAIK, with the appropriate gear you can calibrate the screen and generate a custom profile that may be able to compensate and overcome the tint.
I have the Samsung screen, LG replaced. After calibration with Spyder3Pro results are better but I wasn’t satisfied. The best results I got after that with manual calibration (I do Web design primarilly), but still not good enough, IMHO.
LG had almost perfect colors. Not sure what to do…
I had the same yellow tint even a replacement had the same thing it was very disappointing.i am going to wait a month and hope it was just a glitch in the manufacturing.
just curious, did the tint disappear for you, just getting my third panel replacement and hoping its not tinted thanks
After a ton of trials with manual calibration (I had to crank it up above 7500K), I managed to reduce the yellow tint by at least 85% percent and now I’m pretty satisfied.
My advice: keep calibrating (or buy a first class calibrator which probably isn’t below $1000).

So your display was yellow when you bought it? My belief was that the yellow Samsung displays were only used as replacements. What did you do about your display? Did you return it? Did you visit the Genius Bar? I'm on my third display. The first one developed white spots. The second one was yellow. And now this third one is yellow. If my first display had been yellow I would have returned it.
Same issue with my late 2013 retina display. Below is a visual comapre, Left - retina on store, Right - New one I bought. Very disappointing, I am going to keep replacing untill I get a white one.
guys my yellow tint on display did cure and disappear over 2 - 2.5 months of use completely to looking just like the ones in store in color and white point if not slightly better
I have a mid-2012 rMBP that had an LG screen and the image retention (IR) was so bad I took it in for replacement under AppleCare. It was replaced with a Samsung and yes I may some yellow tint but not so much that it matters. My main concern was the IR which has not reappeared since the replacement 5 months ago.
