Image retention lg/Samsung on MBP 15" Retina

Thanks...yes that been around since the 2012 problems, and was Apple's way of trying to say it was normal. As we now know, the Samsung panels (also IPS) did not have this issue and so that guidance is a waste of time.

I was hoping Apple had come clean about the issue and addressed it directly by now, especially after the Class action lawsuit about the IR problem that a group of customers filed in California.

I know Apple will replace the MBP if it has the problem, but if I pay over £2000 I want to be pretty certain I don't have to do that (in 2012 some of us got though 9 replacements until eventually getting lucky with a Samsung panel replacement....nothing could describe that as good customer service !)

I accept any product has the risk of a fault, but that should be the exception, not Apple sending out known defective products and seeing if the customer notices and sends it back.

Fair enough.

But it didn't answer the question....or perhaps it did, if the guidance is still there updated in 2014 then I assume even new MBPs still have a crap shoot on good or bad IPS panels.

Looks like I am avoiding Apple for another generation, shame I thought 2 years would be enough time to solve the problem...hopefully eventually they will face the problem and fix it, not just keep their head in the sand.

Back to Samsung...I like their kit but I miss OSX :-(
