Do all LG screens suffer from IR?

[KimHansenDK]

I was just wondering if all LG screens in the late 2013/mid 2014 Retina MacBook Pros suffer from IR?

And those of you with the 13-inch rmbp (2.4/2.6 8GB) what screen do you have?

IR happens to any LCD display that has a certain static image on it for too long (hours).

Thing is, it's not permanent, it just takes a certain amount of time (that is a function of how long it was displayed in the first place) for it to fade away.


That said, I've deployed 20+ rMBPs in the last two months, haven't seen one issue and they're all the 2013 models.

Okay, sound good.

I am about to get a new rMBP (13-inch 2.4/2.6GHz 8GB), but wouldn't be able to live with the IR issues. I had the first 15-inch rMBP and it suffered from severe IR - and when you work in Photoshop a lot (with the grey background) you notice the IR all the time.

So I would only buy/keep the new rMBP if I am sure that it does not suffer from this IR issues. But maybe the LG screen in the new models (2013/2014) are better than the first models?

With LG screens?

No but the 7 I have exchanged all had uniformity issues.

IR was more of an issue on the 2012 models, it is less likely that the issue persists in the newer models.

So if I got a great deal for a rMBP 15" base model with LG screen, Samsung SSD and no stuck/dead pixels I should just say yes?

I had the guy run the retention test (http://www.marco.org/rmbp-irtest.html) and it showed no signs of burn-in.

Does that mean that the screen will not be affected by burn-in/retention or could it be a problem later on?
