Mine is due to arrive Wednesday, I'm curious to see what we both get. I won't run any IR tests, but I will check to see which one I have. If I notice problems I will get it replaced, but I won't go looking for problems
Got a tip for us?

My LG does not shows the IR issue under my normal usage (although on the test it did showed the issue) so guess I'm sticking to it for now; I have the 3 year Applecare plan so hopefully will be covered for a while....
no its a baseless rumor that is now proven to be wrong at the apple boards, users have already seen IR on their brand new 2013 laptop w/ LG.
they are still faulty

The LG displays have also been fixed for burn in (my first LG display did have severe burn in though) so there should be no complaints.[/QUOTE]
simply not true, look at the apple discussion board. users have are already complaining about the updated MBPrs w/ LG. They still have IR.
I exchanged mine which was 4 days old for the new 2.4 GHz version and my old screen was LG and the new one is Samsung. I didn't have any problems with the LG screen though.
I have a 2011 Macbook Air Ultimate with a Sammy screen, and just bought a 15" rMBP 2013 ultimate with an LG screen.
Definitely the Air is brighter than the retina. My LG screen is quite "yellow" before calibration, but after I calibrated it it seems very fine now

That's the right question!!! If we send our LG's rMBP on warranty that is what we will get.
Nice to see that they are still using samsung for the 2013 models, i just keep reading about people getting LG screens
I got my 15" 2.4, 16GB, 512SSD.
LG screen. I won't run the IR tests, but will get the screen looked at if I need during the warranty. I just don't feel obsessed enough to go looking for trouble.
I happen to get a Samsung SSD, which is speedy.

I just received by 2013 baseline 15" retina yesterday. Ran the test and it has a beautiful Samsung screen!
The Samsung and LG screens are identical to my eyes. No difference in brightness. Both passed the IR test easily.
The real issue is image retention. If you're not experiencing ghosting then just enjoy your MacBook. There have been a number of LG owners here who have posted that their screens are fine.
I took today my son's Ipad 2 for warranty service to a local Apple retailer in Puerto Rico (we don't have Apples stores here ) and asked the service rep how they would handle the warranty repair of retina MBP with the Image Retention. To my surprise, instead of sending the whole machine to Apple in the USA what they do is to order only the screen assembly and replaced it locally. I'm tempted to handle in my 15" LG screen rMBP machine, which did showed IR on the checkers test (but don't show any noticeable IR on my normal issue) hoping to get a Samsung display in the process!!

The one on the left is the Samsung display. The reason I took pictures in the dark was the differences between the screens are no longer that apparent under normal light - at least for me.
The dilemma is while I see no traces of IR yet, some cases took a few months to develop.
