Yep I have it on my ipad 4 . Not a big issue though really. Doesn't affect my general use

I can confirm I have this, too! I've tested iPads I've come across in stores, and virtually all of them have some degree of image retention.

My ipad 4 does it but so does a family member's launch ipad 3, does that mean both are LG?

I thought at ipad 3 launch, all screens were samsung?

Download the attached PNG (it's a screen from Letterpress, since that particular grey seems to highlight the problem particularly well) and load it into Photos on your iPad 4. Zoom in on it a bit to get rid of the text and make the whole screen grey.

Then, either…

1. Load the App Store and just leave it sitting on the front page for a couple of minutes without moving it at all, or...

2. Load Chrome and leave it on screen for a couple of minutes.

Then, flip back to the grey picture (get rid of Photo's top and bottom bars to make it fill the screen). Do you see retention of either the app icons from the App Store, or the URL bar and tab top from Chrome?

Post your results!

Cheers,

SB
How do you know you have an LG display?

I did the test, and there's no image retention on my ipad 4.

Apple typically uses multiple display suppliers (like Samsung, LG, Sharp, etc.) and they are picked and used at random depending on stock and availability. While you can try to guess which one you have by color temperature (based on previous posts and complaint patterns here), it's impossible to know for sure unless you take the iPad apart.

Tried two demo display iPad 4's at best buy. Both of them had IR

AND... The display iPad mini did as well.

My iPad4 has it, but it's so minor, really had to look hard for the Chrome address bar, and when I saw it it was quickly fading away. Nothing major , IMO.

Definitely nothing to sweat too much IMO.

Laptops I could see why it's more of a nuisance though
