Concerns with 13" rMBP

[Chatran]

With my eyes. Is there really any better way to test display?

Thanks for info. So I can assume you didn't use any tools to test it at least (without IR case -1).

If the display is working fine and I can't see any issues why should I bother with testing my display in unnatural way? Or do you suggest that displaying black and white checkboard for a prolonged time is normal usage?

It's like dropping phone on intention to check if the display will not break.

I am with you, there is some wankers out there 🙄
Maybe it's for chess or checker players 🙂

That's right!

Now I can see that displaying black and white checkerboard for a prolonged time will damage the monitor, as dropping phone intentionally, from your theory.

Why do it? To emphasize any problem you may incur in the future immediately. Then you can make a decision now within your 14 day return period to return it, deal with it, or ask for replacement.

Let's say you bought a car that is sometimes known to start blowing heat which smells like farts when the heat is turned to the highest setting. You are in the middle of summer so there is no need to turn your heat on high. Are you going to check the heat now on the highest setting, or are you just going to wait 6 months until your warranty expires and deal with your car smelling like farts?

You have 1 year warranty and in EU even 2 years. Should anything happen in that period they'll fix it. If you bought AppleCare (like me) you've got even 3 years.

If it doesn't appear in that time I guess the unit is fine. Why bother yourself right now if you can't see the issue? I understand people who have obvious issues that require immediate attention.

And yes, I play chess although not all black and white. Everything's fine, no IR. Same when switching windows (and some of them are open for longer than two hours).

You're lucky. I'm at the third display and no luck. But what are 3 tries in a lottery? Nothing.
