Extremely Random: Yellow Tint on rMBP

Do a color calibration. Samsung screens are known for their yellow tint compared to the LG version but I managed to fix that with some calibration.
I did the calibration and it didn't work. The yellow hue is still there. I compared it to another MBPr screen for verification
That's the same yellow-hue i got on my screen. I am getting it checked in for replacement tomorrow.
It's not just you. I do see it and it's not normal. Apple knows its not normal, i suggest u get it replaced or fixed by apple rep.
Well that's weird. A restart did the trick. It's back to normal... for now.
Edit: Now I realize what it was. I downloaded Flux without remembering last night. Automatically created the "yellowing" effect. Just have to figure out how to uninstall it...

I went to the Apple store to get my Lightning cable replaced. Mentioned my Samsung panel at the same time during the conversation. Asked the rep if he'd rather have the LG screen with IR or a Samsung screen with a yellow tint. Said IR.
I went trough 3 screen replacements and 3 computer replacements... After all am on a Samsung screen now without yellow tint. Swapping all those computers and screens was a ****** annoying, OCD and time consuming process. Though in the end after it's all done, i'm very happy with my non-yellow samsung screen. At least now I know what i've got and don't have to worry about eventual IR.
The yellow tint won't change during time.. I'm a on the road a lot and have used it in varying circumstances (minus 6 celcius, shaky 16 hour touring bus drives, in clubs) and the screen is 100% the same as how I got it. My thoughts on the retina screen now is that it's very stable, but a drag to get one thats right in the first place. But once you've been trough that entire mess you enjoy it everyday.
Go for a good samsung.

I don't know about anyone else but I am quite appalled that you would not even do a basic restart before freaking out and creating a thread on the forums.
Too bad no color tint for me. Just required a quick color calibration. OS X sets 1 profile for all retina displays but that does not mean that the display will react the same from different manufacturers.
