Oh please, this is nothing new. My 24" iMac from 2009 does the exact same thing.
I'm having my 5th rMBP delivered tomorrow.
Strangely enough, none of my previous machines had image retention issues. My last 2 have had horrible yellow tinting to either the right hand side or bottom of the screen. My first had dead pixels but was otherwise perfect in every way, and my 2nd was similar only it had a bent hinge, meaning the lid didnt close properly (left a big gap, not exactly ideal).
Basically I'm more worried about the yellow tint issues than anything else, especially given that the iPad 3rd gens are plagued with them. Given that my original iPad has the issue, and half of my iPhones have had it, I'd say its an issue with the glass used in the IPS panels.
I have plenty of IPS monitors with great screen uniformity, all without any fancy glass cover on the front. Yet all my iMacs and Cinema Displays have all had yellow tinting at the bottom, along with the illustrious black bar.
Obviously MR is holding back on the supply of rumors to inflate demand. They will announce they are "blown away" by the demand for the new rumors.
Our 30" Apple displays do this also...started about a year ago. I think 'ghosting' is just something that happens to displays over time, but definitely shouldn't happen to these new Retina screens.
And this is why you don't buy Rev. A Apple products.
LOL. The nerve of Samsung not being inferior!No ghosting here, Samsung display.
Go ... Samsung?
And you're fine with that, despite paying for it??
And this is why you don't buy Rev. A Apple products.
Of course it's normal. They're tired of replacing defective displays!...But even as Apple is replacing machines showing image persistence, the company has posted a new support document stating that the phenomenon is normal on the in-plane switching (IPS) displays used in the Retina MacBook Pro and other products...
My 24" iMac from 2007 used to do it as well - pretty badly in fact, to the point where you could read the entire document I had opened for around 5 minutes.
