Retina Image Retention

[covertash]

Oh damn. It means even the last batches are defective Damn you LG and damn you Apple.

Serban did post this a few pages back as well:

Lg made a statement on 13 March 2013 i think, that they know and they will fix their panels aka retina 13" and 15" and for the 27" imac panels

i search over the internet to post here the link, but i dont find it. I am guessing since May or June, but i can't remember. But im sure, because that ive ordered a 15" haswell macbook and the new 27" imac. For me that was a push from behind to buy them when they get released. So..
But like i said in other post...today i've checked the 11'th 27" panel and no issue.

So if the announcement was indeed made in March, it's likely that we may not see the true revisions dated maybe April and later (just my guesstimation).

I dunno, it just doesn't seem like IR or burn in should even be a valid topic when discussing screens in 2013. It's an old CRT and early gen plasma problem. Really doesn't make sense to me nowadays. Oh well.

IR is a problem with *ALL* IPS and PVA / PLS / MVA LCD screens. See the literature from Barco, NEC etc on this (some of my previous emails). It's just a question of to which extreme.

FWIW my retina display is just amazing in terms of clarity, even when running at 1440x900, when compared to my MBA.

I just got my BTO 13" rMBP.

I ran the test for 10 minutes, no signs of IR.

ioreg -l | grep IODisplayEDID | sed 's/^.*<//g' | cut -b 33-36 gives me 0417, so my display should be made week 4 in 2013.

Hi guys. I just got my rMBP 13" few days ago and did the IR test. Sadly, there is ghosting of the checkerboard. However, a few minutes later it disappeared. another issue is, there is an apple logo at the top left whenever I switch into mission control. But it disappears when I use screen saver for 5 minutes. And pop backs later on when I do my tasks. Is this normal? or just the beginning stage of IR/ghosting. thanks

aa020 here. Turned up the brightness all the way and did the test for 10 min. When I looked at the grey screen I thought I saw a very very faint retention but then I closed my eyes and saw the same thing lol. I did it again without looking at the checkered screen and when I looked at the grey screen it was perfect. I.E. when you do this test do not stare at the screen or you will have retention in your head lol.

That is actually very good point. Eyes do behave like this so it is mandatory to watch elsewhere.

Actually image retained on the monitor won't move, unlike the ones on your eyes.

I have a macbook pro retina 13" model ME866 LL/A
I buy it yesterday from dubai.
I run checkerboard test for 3, 5, 10 and 20 minutes. no IR at all.
model number: A018
man. date: 70F00
man. : 610

I use this command:

ioreg -l | grep IODisplayEDID | sed 's/^.*<//g' | cut -b 33-36

And the result is : 3016 where indicate that the build date of display is week 48 of 2012

I use this command:

ioreg -lw0 | grep "EDID" | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r

to indicate manf. of the display the result is:

????????0?xo??UL?%
PT?h??@.`0 6??Color LCD

however the result is not clear!

My late-2013 13" still hasn't developed IR or yellow casting. So far so good.

What is your display model number? Mine is A018 and some people said that model is by Samsung.
