Q: White spot on my Retina MacBook Pro?
Hello everyone again. I have a problem with the display (again, sadly ). This time, it isn't ghosting. The panel I have is the second generation LG panel display, or SJA2. While I was browsing on the web, I noticed a white spot visible on bright colors. I searched other forums, and apparently, it isn't a dead pixel, but another bad case of LCD Muras. I'm getting to the point where I'm tired of having to deal with flawed Apple products again. I paid a huge premium for this machine and I expected solid quality for this machine. It's ridiculous. I have heard too many issues with Retina MacBooks over the past 2 years since it debuted. And since my warranty ran out a year ago, I'm out of luck. Even worse, I didn't get AppleCare, which was my fault. I took great care of this laptop, and I never abused it, pinched it, threw it, or dropped it. I don't see how something like this could happen. So, please, I need as much help as I can get. I'm not knowledgeable on computers.
1) Do Samsung Panels suffer from the same problem as well? (I know they are not prone to ghosting, so that isn't a worry here.)
2) Is there anything else I can do to fix the LCD Mura issue, or am I going to have to replace the display completely? What else can I do?
3) Does anyone who suffered from the same issue as I have know what's going on, or know what's causing the LCD Muras? A manufacturing defect?
4) Would it be safe to buy a replacement Samsung screen from Ebay? I have to be careful just because getting a replacement doesn't guarantee an immediate fix.
Any help on this issue would be appreciated. I'll try to post a photo of the issue when I can. Thanks.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
