I received my new Haswell rMBP yesterday. I currently have a very excellent Samsung screen with no yellow tints. The rest of the machine is perfect too except for a crackling issue. It's the same exact issue in the link below on youtube:

What do I do? Do I demand a new rMBP at the risk of getting a new rMBP with a worse screen and other issues. Or do I get repair work done by demanding to replace the right speaker and fan at the risk of saying that they don't find any issues (it randomly occurs so I can't demonstrate it on the spot)?

Apple's hardware diagnostic says my machine is fine, but it's not.
 
It's a no brainer. This is a new Mac book a genius bar appointment and get it replaced. In the unlikely event of you getting a "Worse" screen, you can always return the machine again.

Thanks. I'm currently deauthorising this computer from my Apple accounts, erasing the HDD and doing the first step of the Mavericks installation so I can send it back.

I hope my new next rMBP is a keeper.
