I have 2 huge clusters of dead pixels on my screen and they seem to grow daily. My screen has not been impacted in anyway nor has it been dropped. What are my options? My warranty has expired.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have the display examined. You will be informed of your options there.
Ciao.
Mine had two dead pixels when I bought it and is now over 20 3-4 years later. I'm pretty sure Apple knows the screens are defective, but have not issued a recall.
There won't be any recall, they are not defective. Retina @ 15" implies a native res of 2880x1800 pixels, each of which has 3 transistors one for each primary color. A grand total of 15,552,000 transistors. Even under optimal conditions, some are bound to come up bad or fail prematurely. So there are a set of rules as to what constitutes "defective" meriting replacement. And only Apple techs can make the evaluation and final decision. Hence the recommendation to take the thing to the Store.
