If you're paralyzed by the thought of having an 'inferior' screen, then you won't be able to have it serviced.
I do not understand what you are trying to say or get through with this sentence.
If you can live with the color shift, which you more or less said that you can, then you have no reason to take it into Apple.
Of course I can live with it. It's jus a screen on a laptop. But for my photo editing (among many other things) it's a good screen. Even the colours are somewhat decent when calibrated. I always do my last changes to colour on a pretty good Eizo screens anyways, but uniformity issues are still and issue, and is actually a reason for me to take it to Apple. If issues that can be solved thorugh use of warranty is no reason to take it to Apple, then i must ask you; what is?
If you were a professional photographer, then obviously you need to get a screen with as few flaws as possible. If it were a business decision you would just take it in (and keep taking it in) until you got one that worked as advertised. But somehow I doubt that is the case.
I will keep taking it in till I get one that is as good as i can get it, as any sane person would with their products. It's their right as a customer. Like i said, i don't earn my money from photos, but it's still a big hobby for me. If i want a screen thats damn near perfect, I see no reason i shouldn't get it.
What is more likely is that you're here to whine about 'paying more for a premium product' and not getting exactly what you want.
Is it not a premium product? Where do I whine? I simply replied to your ridiculously unhelpful post. I made this topic to ask for people's opinions, nowhere did i whine. When you get food that is subpar at a restaurant, do you just sit there and eat it, hoping it will get better next time you visit the restaurant? This forum is for discussing the product at hand, which I did in a perfectly decent manner without "whining" or anything in that nature.
Surely you must know that no one here can tell you whether you're going to get a Samsung or an LG panel. Hell, the Apple tech won't even be able to tell you that. You'll know when you get it back, not a second before.
Surely you must have been able to read that i nowhere asked anyone here what screen i was going to get? And the guys at Apple can tell me. I actually got an mail earlier today that the Service department of Eplehuset (the store that will do my service) are trying to make sure i get a Samsung screen. Surely you must know that a little perseverance can get you a long way.
The bottom line is this. If it is broke, take it in and ask them to fix it. If you get it back and it is still broke, take it back in. If it isn't broke, quit wasting (y)our time. Premium product or not, every product has variances. If you cannot tolerate them, take it back and move onto a product with different compromises.
This is about as little helpful a post can get. Am I missing something here? Isn't forums for this exact sort of discussions? Yes, yes they are. Am i wasting your precious time by making you click a link on a forum? If your time is so precious, i would suggest not being on a forum whatsoever. Yes, every product has variances, but usually when i get something fixed through warranty, i can do it with the knowledge i will not get back a product with parts that are more likely to cause me more products in the future.
Now, i am sorry about such a long, passive aggressive post
, but this other guy really got me going.
All i asked was for people opinions and experiences. And if anyone has any relevant and constructive to add to the topic, i would love to hear it.
