rMBP and white pixels

[Forkjulle]

I got my rMBP today (finally) and am enjoying it so far.

When I opened YouTube and waited for the video to load, the screen was pitch black.

I noticed a bunch of little white pixels scattered. I thought it was dust, but it doesn't seem to be.

Is that normal?

Try moving the browser window around. If the white dots move with the window, it's not your screen.

LG or Samsung panel?

Go to this site: http://jasonfarrell.com/misc/deadpixeltest.php

In fullscreen mode click on each link and check for dead/stuck pixels. With solid color background they should stand out if they exist.

I've got the same issue. I made a similar thread about it the other day. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1458102/

Like jedolley said, 'dead pixels' are most easily noticeable against solid color backgrounds--black in my case. I'm going to the Apple store tomorrow to see about a free replacement or repair since it's a factory defect and still under warranty. I'll let you know what they say.

Yeh I had noticed the same on my rMBP. I have an LG screen and have had the laptop for 3 months. I booked a genius appointment with Apple last week. I knew they had to do something about the screen as it's a manufacturing fault. They said they will take it in and replace the screen for me. They replaced the screen for me. No problems with this screen so far. They replaced it with a Samsung screen as well

I don't know. How do I check?

I don't think that the rMBP can get dust behind the screen as the screen is glued to the front plastic. I may be wrong.

You have to go into the model serial number in the Terminal screen

LP is LG
LSN is Samsung

I had this. Exchange your rMBP ASAP.

I think you have a Samsung screen LG does not have any issues with dead pixels on IR...

How?

It doesn't mean a thing. If your display as some dead/stuck pixels and its new, exchange the computer

I have a samsung screen, and I got two new dead pixels within a week. 2 month old computer. I am going to get it repaired ASAP.

LG screen this is not good news at all....I would exchange it for a new one if you get another LG screen you may get lucky and won't experience any problems as some ppl here have said...Samsung has problems with their screens too so dont hope to get a Samsung so soon...until APPLE figures out what is happening....

Wow I was thinking of getting a rMBP, but reading the threads here there is no way I pay that sort of money for a product that is not ready yet. Maybe next year.
