The retina display on my 13" Macbook Pro is stained from a previous opened program. I frequently work with MO Word and I recently realised it has a shadow on my display. It's a perfect match with the Word's layout, as it has "printed" its image on the screen. It's really light but undoubtedly there. How to reset or restore it?? Please help!!
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
Hi Userless,
What you are referring to is image persistence. That is something that can happen depending on use, but will go away over time with general use. Take a look at the article below for some suggestions to prevent that from happening in the future.

Indeed it went away. Just scared me a bit because none of my other MACs ever did such a thing. But then again they didn't have a retina display...
Thanks Norm, much appreciated. Take care.
Hey Userless,
No problem with the assist and glad the image didn't stick around. If you need anything else, feel free to post a new question and we will get to you as soon as possible.
Take care,

Hi Norm. Hope you're still around. My image persists after only a minute or so. It doesn't require a bunch of time to burn in. I'm not too worried about it except it interferes with my viewing experience whenever I switch applications or open a new tab in my browser. When I watch Youtube, I can still see the previous tab's information when I'm watching my video. Do I just have to live with this issue?
Thanks!
