Luckily its not THAT obvious for me, I only see the top of finder on my monitor all the time.
I am waiting until people stop complaining about it and will return the mac by then.

I would just return it if you're within your 14 days. This whole IR thing still baffles me, especially when people have 4, 5, 6 iMacs in a row with IR. Makes no sense to me...
I have the mac since mid January, I have put a post before about the IR.
It is very sad and I was waiting for a month and half for the order to arrive so didn't want to return it right away.
Don't confuse viewing angle deficiencies and bleed. The bright corners are viewing angle issues. If you sit directly in front of a corner, it looks fine.
See William Ive done the same thing on mine for the longest time but when it gets warm and I have the same screen up for more than 15 mins it gets a hint of retention. Not too bad but it's definitely there. I know you tried that gray background on the first video but it actually needs to be a darker shade gray like the one on the second video. Like I said some have it worse than others and I've tested so many of them between friends, school, apple, stores, my replacements, they have all had it to some extend maybe it fallows me around but from what I've seen all the machines I tested around 25 of them they have all had them. If yours doesn't really have then more power to you I'm glad it doesn't. I still think is crappy from apple to ship these machines like that though. Thanks for the vid btw
I really don't know what to tell you. All I can do is reiterate: I've never seen IR on a 2012 27" iMac personally, and I've had many of them to work on. My iMac never gets switched off, is always running. I play intensive games on it, do intensive photo-editing on it, and never ever have I see image retention. Will I someday? Maybe, but I've used the 27" LG panels for over 3.5 years now and it's never happened.
I'm sorry you're experiencing these issues, but many of us don't have any IR, and I've really done my best to prove that to you.
On a side-note, if my iMac ever does develop image retention, I'll be sure to let you know. Hopefully that day will never come!
I dont have image retention that ive seen on my imac yet. however i didnt go looking for it. im just using my computer as i normally would and it hasnt happened yet. Im using that redish background that is included with mountain lion that looks like red sand / cave. if I have image retention this background hides it well. I had a black limechat window open on the left side of my screen for about an hour and when i moved it i could not see anything. My brightness is also at about 70%. maybe that helps?

I have it on mine... bought a couple of weeks ago from a local Apple Store (don't know how long they had it in the back though).

It's annoying, but the machine is otherwise fantastic. It's easiest to tell when I leave a finder window open for a few (15 or 20) minutes then select a virtual machine in parallels and the dark grey screen pops up.
I don't usually have my brightness turned up above 50% either, which is annoying. But I just try not to leave a finder window open for too long.
