mine is LG

Mine is LG as well. I don't see any problem lol maybe some people are to sensitive and want a 100% perfect screen.

Ya, just curious why nobody in Malaysia or Lowyat Forum complain about this. Maybe they send all the good quality MacBook Pro RD to Malaysia? Haha..

i prefer buy with local store, we can check on-the-spot and exchange if you don't like the unit until we satisfy.

maybe its because we just use it out of the box.
didnt run all those test.
in my opinion, as long as it doesnt appear when we're doing our daily tasks then it doesnt matter.

yeah i just think we are less particular about it compared users from the states.
doubt it has anything to do with the goods' quality.

Most of the initial ppl who complain are cad users which happens to have a solid grey background for their program.

Its only really noticeable when the background is solid grey..

i believe getting a second unit replace is already hard.
they normally only give you 1 replacement, the replacement unit shouldnt have any problems.
generally Mac has very small amount of DOA cases

My MacBook Pro Retina Display has been sent for evaluation either for repair or replacement. Reason being? White spot appearing on the LCD screen. Google "Macbook Pro LCD Mura" and you'll see what it is all about. Mine appears every time there's a light grey or white background on screen, not on any busy or colorful background.

To check, choose solid color wallpapers, particularly grey and white. Look for splotches of white. It looks like water droplets and intensity of this white discoloration depends on how bad the defect is. Mine is cloudy and in a specific spot on the lower right quadrant, while the more extreme example I've seen is the MacBook Pro Retina Display demo unit available at Machines KLCC where the Mura/white spot appears as if someone burnt a laser pointer through the screen. It stays invisible over brightly colored wallpapers, but as soon as you open Safari on Apple homepage (which is always white), it's painfully obvious. The MBP Retina Display at Machine KLCC also shows clear-as-day problem of "image retention", like plasma TVs would.

My procedure with AASP here are in all manner of word, DISAPPOINTING. First went to VR Technology in Megan Avenue II at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, and they wanted me to leave the unit there for "diagnostics and observation" for "an undeterminate amount of time" before they can decide if the unit is "repairable or replaced". Called QCD at Times Square, same scripted answer. Machines, I have a good friend initiating the evaluation, and I have his help to get it inspected tomorrow and within 24 hours, be decided if the unit is "repairable or replaced". At least I have the most minimal downtime without the MBP Retina, although if they decide to repair the screen, replacement display will only arrive from Singapore between 3-7 working days. Shitty to say the least. I thought buying into the Apple ecosystem means begin treated with more practical importance and speed than these incompetences.

The case reported in Apple Support Community forum with regards to this, had the victim's unit inspected by the Apple Genius at a physical Apple Store, deemed defective and replaced on the spot. The crappy part of all this is that we have no Apple Stores here to rely on that more expeditious method of replacement.

Be advised, folks. Check your MBP Retina Display screen.

how long did it took to appear after you've purchased it?

If its mura it should be there all along. Image retention ppl reported it takes 2 months or so to developed and began to be noticeable...

if that happens, theres something wrong with your plug point.
