LCD replacement to fix yellow tinge/tint...

Got a call Friday from Apple Executive Relations saying the fix is ready and to make a Genius bar appt to have my lcd panel replaced.
Did so today and was told it would take a few days, which is fine.
The interesting thing is the Genius told me it was a "one time" deal... meaning they would replace the panel once and only once as the yellow "tint" was a subjective thing...
Anyway, should only be a few days.

I would go back to the Apple Store, get the name of the tech who informed you that it's normal for these displays to give out a yellow tint. I would also ask for the managers name and then contact Apple Customer relations.
I know first hand that it's not normal. As I stated in a previous post that I had my display replaced and the yellow tint was GONE. If it wasn't for their damage on the LCD panel, dust behind the screen and scratches on the aluminum, I would have kept it!
The Yellow tint/tinge is not normal operating conditions. No way, no how. If that was the case, Apple would have not gone as far as "informally" addressing it with a new part number to address the issue.
Don't let a tech or retail rep make you feel as you need to settle. Personally I would get a refund... then purchase a brand spanking new one and start the process all over again.
When paying a premium for a 27in MAC, you expect quality. I visited a local retailer and was curious to view a 27 in monitor sold by HP. Although it's older technology, let me tell you... White, was white! No yellow tinge, no dust, etc. The monitor sells for 370.00 USD. Here's the URL. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824176125 from newegg.com

  • MBAir - projector problems -yellow tinge

    I've tried plugging my MBA into 3 LCD projectors and also an external PC monitor using the VGA adaptor supplied with it, but each time the projected image has a bright yellow tinge for some reason. This doesn't happen with my MB Pro. Any ideas?
    Matthew

    I have also tried connecting to multiple projectors, and it always has the yellow tint. I have stepped through every available color profile on the machine, and all of them have the yellow tint! I have tried mirrored mode and un-mirrored... I've tried all the available resolution options. I've gone through the color calibration tool with no success. I've tried to use the ColorSync tool to create a new profile, and it's still yellow!!! Has anyone resolved this issue successfully?
    Thanks!

  • My third Macbook Retina LCD replacements in less than a month

    I guess the tittle says it all. A month ago I noticed there was a small white dot on the right bottom corner so I brought it to store to have my LCD screen replaced. When I came home I notice my LCD screen is yellow when I compared to my MacBook Pro 17. Needless to say I went to the store to have my LCD screen replaced because of the yellow tint. So now it is officially my third LCD screen replacements and I'm still seeing the yellow hue (tint) on my screen. Is it a new Apple standard? Because Apple Genius told me they like the screen on the left side better (yellow hue) than the right side (day light color). Please advise me what to do at this point. I have one month left before my AppleCare warranty is expired. Apple Genius told me that this is the last time they would replace my screen and they knew it is going to yellow tint again. So far I spoke to Apple Senior Advisor (over the phone) and Apple Genius (in store) and they said there is nothing wrong with the screen and there is no way they will replace my MacBook.
    What would you do if you were in my situation? Thank you for your advice!
    At this moment my MacBook LCD screen manufacturer is Samsung (LSN154YL01001)
    rMBP is on the left and MBP 17 is on the right.

    Same problem. Bought the Retina MacBook Pro in 2012. Got a nice bluish screen but with stuck white pixels in the lower-right corner. Got the screen replaced and the replacement screen is greenish-yellow like yours. The model number is LSN154YL01001.
    This is not the first screen I got from Apple that's green. My iPhone 4S had a green screen. I replaced it and got another green screen. My iPad 4 had a green screen and I returned it. Now I'm stuck because I can't just return this Retina MacBook Pro that I bought last year. If I bring it in to the Genius Bar and tell them the screen is green they will either say it looks normal or it's not defective. Calibrating the screen via System Preferences > Color doesn't help. Usually looks worse.
    So are these screens defective or by design? I really don't know. I've seen blue iPhone 4S and I've seen green iPhone 4S. I've seen blue iPad 3s and I've seen redish iPad 3s. We've both had blue Retina MacBook Pros and now we have green Retina MacBook Pros.
    If it had come initially with the greenish-yellow screen I would have returned it but now I'm stuck with a screen that looks like it has green slime all over it.

  • Do Early 2009 24" iMacs have display oddities - yellow tinge?

    Hi all,
    After a dour, very unsatisfying experience with an eagerly awaited 21.5" iMac (and a bad experience at the Apple Store when I tried to replace the unit), I am looking to purchase a 24" refurb unit.
    Are the displays on the 24" iMac better - in terms of yellow tinge, gradient display? It would be great if any of the users of the Early 2009 24" iMacs could chime in...
    Changed title to reflect question

    Mine does. And just about everyone I've seen does. Apple actually sent me the new one to replace a 2 year old white 24" that exhibited the same problem. And, now that I've seen Apple has finally admitted to an issue on the newest iMacs, I'm calling Apple Care.

  • Has anyone noticed that their iPhone 5 has a yellow tinged display?

    Has anyone noticed that their iPhone 5 has a yellow tinged display and the colours look too intense? Just does not look right.

    Correction - I HAVE reported the fault to Apple and to my network provider who have informed me that they have received numerous complaints from their customers and are sending out replacements to them and to me. As I hadn't stated what steps I had taken in my original post you shouldn't be so fast to assume what I have or have not done.
    Thank you and goodbye.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - External monitor has yellow tinge to screen

    I have connected a new external monitor to my Sat Pro L300 and the ext. monitor has a strong yellow tinge to the display.
    I have tried it with other monitors and cables and they do the same ie yellow display.
    Can anyone suggest anything I can do, I have tried changing all colour settings but they do not get rid of the yellow tint.
    thanks.

    Well, possibly this issue is related to the hardware malfunction since the display should show common colors without changing any settings in Color Settings in the Graphics Card Control Panel
    So in my opinion its hardware issue
    However, before asking a technician for a opinion I recommend updating the BIOS and reinstalling the graphic card driver.

  • My take on the yellow tinge

    Got my 27" i5 a week ago. Didn't notice the yellow tinge initially. I did pick up the 'louder than I'm used to on a Mac' hard drive noise. Nothing that really bugged me that much but I did want to know if it was normal (in the end, my quad-core iMac is still way quieter than the Centrino Lenovo laptop I have at work). When I looked around online to research the latter issue, I saw all the posts on the yellow tinge. Got me worried and I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to see if my screen had something. Finally picked up a rather faint yellow tinge on the bottom left corner, which seems to fade depending on how much I tilt the screen. After a few days of living with both, I don't notice it anymore. In fact, I've realized that the 21.5 iMac I bought last Fall has a more pronounced tinge, which I had never picked up before. So, my take is that no screen (or machine for that matter) is ever perfect. In the end, I'll likely end up living with the slight imperfections knowing that I'll never get a spotless machine and exchanges might just reveal problems I'm even less comfortable with. NP

    you definitely have that right no Panel is perfect and you should see some post here there were some insane people creating some chaotic yellow tinged problem, even to the point that you started to believe it is a problem and that you need to get it replace.

  • Potential 'yellow tinge' issue on 2012 27" iMac

    Hi,
    I feel a little silly for posting this but I am after some reassurances!
    Last week, I purchased a 'Late 2012' 27" iMac which, having checked the serial number, I believe was built earlier this year.
    When viewing mostly light coloured pages/applications, I have noticed that the bottom half of the screen looks a lot warmer than the rest. Even though I only noticed this a few days ago, I've convinced myself that this is the dreaded 'yellow tinge' issue, even though it looks like this only affected earlier iMacs.
    My concern is that if I take it back, (not easy), I will look ridiculous and get told that this is intended behaviour. To that end, even though it's not a great photograph, what do people think:
    In fairness, the photograph enhances the tinge somewhat but the distinction between the top and bottom of the screen is definitely there.
    Please, reassure me!
    Adam

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Take it back as many times as necessary. It's a common issue with iMacs since the Late 2009 iMac and hasn't been completely fixed since then. Apple will give you a new iMac, and if it has got the same problem, return it again and you will receive another iMac

  • Yellow tinge on my 21.5 iMac

    I am so bummed. I just started to use my brand new 21.5 iMac, 3.2 Ghz and noticed a yellow tinge along the bottom 1/3 of my display. At first I tried to adjust the brightness but nothing worked. I have the Apple Care warranty. Are they going to have to replace the whole display? Will they let me look at the iMac before I bring it home to see with my own eyes if the yellow tinge is gone?

    Hi Ray
    If you just bought a stock iMac from your Local Apple Store or Apple Retailer, then by all means return it for a replacement and check the next one before you leave the store.
    If it's a special order, then you'll need to call Apple Support and work with them to get either a replacement display or replacement iMac. > http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

  • Iphone 4s wont power on after lcd replacement

    A friend dropped his phone quite badly and required a lcd replacement, after swapping it over, when I power it back up it just constantly flickers? Like its trying to power on. There is life in the battery.
    Anyone have any suggestions on this? Thanks

    Good to hear it all worked out for you

  • Display has a yellow hue/tint...

    My display has a yellow hue/tint and it is not being caused by a screen protector (which is clear). Also did a factory reset (didn't expect it to work) and it didn't help. I'm comparing the display to a at&t iphone 4 display. The hue/tint is consistent throughout display, no lines nor spotting, nor has the phone been in the heat.

    Verizon's iphone has a Yellow hue. And I dont believe its going to "cure" or go away ...
    PS: For those of you like "Thomas" who say its "Just fine". Please hold your AT&T iphone up next to your Verizon iPhone. You'll see its not "just fine". Love when people just rattle off comments like this with zero research...
    Since I don't happen to have both an AT&T iPhone and a Verizon iPhone, I did a different test. I viewed a photo on my Verizon iPhone and held it up next to the identical photo on the screen of my MacBook Pro. The iPhone photo was very slightly darker, but there was absolutely no color cast. I repeated this for a number of different images with different palettes, and none showed the slightest yellow color cast.
    Note that one should not confuse reading posts online from people with zero technical knowledge talking about a "problem" with actual research.

  • A black border and semi circle have appeared on my screen of my iPhone 5. It wasn't there this morning it just appeared now a yellow tinge has appeared around the semi circle and sometimes I get a line going across my screen which then disappears

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.
    If this does not work, set it up as new device, explained here:

    If still no luck, get it serviced by Apple or visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place and let them have a look at your device.
