I purchased this display for use with me 15 inch touchbar MBP. I haven't seen the issues described by a lot of people as far as the display causing my machine to lock up, but I have seen the display flicker from time to time, more than likely because of my mesh wifi network. I just got off chat with both Apple and LG. Apple will not deal with the issue at all and you have to be in within 14 days of purchase to deal with a refund. LG is not currently prepared to deal with the issue. They will send you a shipping label to have your display sent to them where they will add the heat shielding, but they don't have a timeline on how long that will take. Because the display is still back-ordered they do not have any new displays to replace it with, so there is a chance you will receive a refurbished display if you opt to get a 'new' display that has the heat sheilding. I expect that they will have an assessment of how to move forward with this issue by the end of next week but don't quote me on that.
