Hi, just bought myself an used mid 2014 macbook retina..
I found there is alot of user report they have retina coating issue but in malaysia seems not that common..
Can share the tips how to take care this retina screen? As i know replace a retina screen not cheap and cost thousand plus!

Erm the coating issues will come regardless of how you "take care" of the screen
My rMBP only sits at home on the desk, I rarely touch the screen at all and yet I replaced the screen twice due to this issue.

I heard some fella saids that can just replace the glass instead the screen. is it valid?
So it really depends luck?

Not sure about that
What i know is that they covered warranty claims up to 3 years from my date of purchase, so they replaced the screen for me 2 times even though out of warranty. You need to check with the authorised service centres for more info on this

If you really want to avoid it. Get a good screen protector and apply it well

It did help? You got sell? If yes please recommend abit

Ok noted bro..If any issue will contact apple then.. Luckily I purchase local unit not oversea unit..Finger cross hope this issue would not happen...Yours is Mid 2014 too?

Yeap, mine is the rMBP Mid 2014, bought in 2015

Oic..cant trace back when the previous owner bought this Macbook.. However i think will take suggestion as apply screen protector 1st b4 anything bad goes to it.

Do you know the price to replace the screen?

I have one unit of 2014 rMBP, the screen seems to be dead (not functioning) already.

Er i dont know the price for replacing screen

I have the screen problem too on my macbook retina. Made a video about it, check it out!

Great. Has installed mine but privacy type looks not really good

Is it true Apple replaces your screen for free?

@skyuo23. Yap, got replaced at 1 Utama Mac Service Centre. Last time i got a macbook 2009 white battery problem and the side of the plastic keyboard cracked too. Out of warranty but they still replace it as faulty design on their part.

Bro do you mind letting me know which place did you do the replacement from ? Have same issue

So did Apple MY does help to replace staingate issue rMBP ?

I have 4 unit here all having the same problem. Wiped using Alcohol and screen cleaning solution only.

Applied Screen protector can prevent i think.

Thinking of getting mpb retina. What issue is this? No coating means screen spoiled? Do you mean coating like oleophobic coating on phones? Because the phone still works well ...without coating.

Can buy screen protector or use micro fiber cloth with minium water for clean out only.

Do not use any liquid or alcohol for cleaning out.

This is optional
