Even if the problem doesn't get worse, I may return it anyway because a lot of people are saying that they don't have the issue at all. In fact, I just convinced myself to return it while typing that last line.

I don't want to be in the position of having Apple physically replace the screen when I can just return it and get a new one.

Maybe because Apple and Samsung are in a huge legal battle....

Samsung, fine display, no issues.

Zach23 · Aug 2, 2012, 02:31 PM

LG, pretty bad ghosting issues. Getting it replaced today.

insimbi · Aug 2, 2012, 02:33 PM

Samsung - looks great! My first rMBP had white spots, not sure what screen that was, but this one is great!

phantasmagoria · Aug 2, 2012, 02:39 PM

Samsung - no probs at all.

zalo · Aug 2, 2012, 02:47 PM

LG no issues

deerfaced · Aug 2, 2012, 02:49 PM

I *think* my first was an LG and had horrible ghosting.

Replacement is also an LG and is perfect (so far!)

Passante · Aug 2, 2012, 02:57 PM

LG no problems.

IanGahagan · Aug 2, 2012, 03:01 PM

LG Fantastic.

Malig · Aug 2, 2012, 03:02 PM

Glad to see that so many LG owners are having no issues.
I was worried this would turn into 2011's MBA disaster all over again.

stevedusa · Aug 2, 2012, 03:07 PM

LG with minor ghosting, didn't appear after almost a month into use.

Oh well no biggie, not going to replace it, doesn't bother me that much.

minnus · Aug 2, 2012, 03:12 PM

Why not make a poll?

Samsung: Perfect
Samsung: Acceptable
Samsung: Unacceptable
LG: repeat

Vctr · Aug 2, 2012, 03:18 PM

LG here. No noticeable issues.

NathanA · Aug 2, 2012, 03:21 PM

LG, no image retention ("ghosting"), but had uneven brightness and white point across the display (darker yellow patch in the lower-left quadrant of the display). It's in the process of getting replaced.

I'm curious to know which screen is common on the 2.6/512 version.

Tritons · Aug 2, 2012, 03:42 PM

LG screen, no problems, white as sheet of paper.

It is completely and absolutely luck-of-the-draw.

rMBP Samsung no issues
LG on my 13 MacBook Air no issues

Robin Chung · Aug 2, 2012, 05:18 PM

Thank you so much for sharing how to check the panel specs for each model. Turns out I have the LG panel and color uniformity is way off. The upper portion of the display is reddish.

Fortunately already in the process of replacement for a different issue: crooked key.
