iMac owners: Do you notice any "Ghosting issues"

Please visit the link from Apple, it says all the IPS displays have "persistence," "image retention," or "ghosting" problems. My question is do you notice it?

I do see the problem when I have a dark grey background, such as the iPhoto or Aperture background on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display. I just wanna check with you guys if this is true with all the IPS displays.

Cheers guys 🙂

No, but I always set my display to go to sleep to save power anyway.

I've never noticed it. But, then I use a screensaver.

Mine ghosts and I'm on my 2nd panel. I think you're right in that they all do it, but often times you don't even realise it.

I do have my computer on for a long time due to work and any folders sitting on the desktop will leave an impression. BUT they are gone by the next time I turn the computer back on.

Could it be caused by my BTO overclocked processor creating too much heat? I have no idea. I'm just guessing to be honest.

Thanks for the inputs guys. Yea I don't notice it until there is a grey background shows up such as iPhoto and Aperture background. 🙂 I'm pissed off that I paid for an expensive laptop for the Retina display and then there is ghosting problems. SUCKS! I guess if this wouldn't affect the lifetime of the display, that's okay!

Sucks that it only happen to LG screens apparently 🙁

I don't know if it's the same thing, but I've recently noticed some dock icons on my screen "burned in" 😱 It was only noticeable when booting (white boot background). I now set the dock to auto-hide (it's a bit annoying), and after a few weeks the burned areas seem to be almost gone. 🙂
