My 15" MBP Retina screen has strange lines

Hi,
So I just noticed that my 4 month old 15" MBP Retina has this strange thin white line and another white mark that's sort of like a bigger 'cluster'. I'm not sure how long it's been there, I thought the screen was just smudged and I was watching a movie, and I began to think hold on, this is in every scene, maybe it's the movie. So I turned the movie off and realised it was there for good.
I'm really bad at noticing these things but now I've noticed it I can't not see it and it is bugging me and I'm wondering how long it's been there for. I've read that the MBP Retina has a little bit of an issue with dead pixels, and i'm wondering if this is the case. Has anyone had experiences with taking it into Apple? I am really frustrated and hope that they fix it because I paid 2 and a half grand for this computer and I shouldn't have to put up with it!
I took a screenshot but it didn't seem to capture it (which makes me wonder if it's dead pixel issues of not) so here's a photo I took with my iPhone.

actually I want to add that I tried my nexus 5 too, and its the same issue, it turns the macbook off , not the screen,
you can try it. there are a spot on the left side below the speaker line, next to fn key.

When you fail to give information on the exact model MBP that you have, how do you expect anyone to provide you with any specific information?
I suggest that you go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com and look for parts and prices. That naturally assumes that you know what parts are defective and need to be replaced.
Ciao.

Bring your phone and $199 to the Apple store for an out of warranty exchange of your phone. You clearly broke it when you dropped it.

Not to get your hopes up to high, but Apple had and may still have an extended warranty program for the displays in those Early Intel models. So personally, I'd call Apple Support first and ask if they are still offering an extended warranty program?
Apple - Support - iMac - Service FAQ
Sadly, another thing about repairing those Early iMac's? Is that there is no way of knowing if the display is the only problem and it could cost you more to fix it, than just buying a brand new 21.5" iMac.

Imac screen has colored lines running down the middle of the screen - time for a new imac?

imac screen has colored lines running down the middle of the screen - time for a new imac?

Is this a G5 iMac?

My screen has some lines going through it, it is the old model.

My screen now has a line about 2 inches wide going across it. I have restarted it a couple of times to no avail. It has not fallen that I am aware of.

Thank you for trying to help. I followed your advice but the lines are still there. I made an appointment to see the Apple tech. Appreciate your effort!!

My G5 screen has faint lines going across it??

My G5 screen has faint diaginal lines going across it, but when I am on the internet it is crisp and none of the lines show up??? Has anyone else ran into this?

Could be the first signs of either a failing video card, or a failing screen. Try running the Apple Hardware Test that came with your install discs.

HT4097 Ipad screen has moving lines on it and is unresponsive

I have the 3rd generation Ipad with iOS 6 on it. I was using it yesterday when i closed my case, and left it for about 10 minuets. When i came back and opened my case, the screen was completley messed up! It has moving lines all over the screen that are a mixture of white, and grey. then it has an even darker moving pixel going across top top of my Ipad, about one inch from the top to be exact. the Ipad will lock and unlock using the top button, but thats all it does. The ipad will also not power off easily. The only thing close to it turing off was when i did a hard shut down and held the home button and the lock button at the same time, but after the screen turns off and i let go of the buttons, the ipad turns back on and goes back to the same lines everywhere.
I purchased the ipad about 3 months ago and this is the first problem i have had. I have NEVER dropped it and the case i use is an Apple smart cover that uses a magnet to stay connected to the Ipad. I have also tried putting it in recovery mode and wiping my Ipad but have had no luck with any change. Please someone help me and figure out what i need to do.

I hope someone can help as I have the same problem with my iPad!

Iphone 6 plus screen has vertices lines

my iPhone 6 plus has not been dropped, had a case on it since day one. I noticed that it has lines on the right side of the screen going verticle. I'm able to get them to go away if I screen shot the phone but the picture won't show them. After I noticed this I also noticed that the part of the screen where the lines are stops working until I was able to find a way to make a phone call. Can anyone help!
also I noticed that since the new update I am almost always on 3G when I used to be primarily on 4g lte. Any ideas?
THanks for for the help.

Take it to an Apple store or return it to the place you purchased it.
The fact that the lines only show on the screen & not in screenshots viewed on other devices suggests that the display is faulty. It should still be under warranty, so take it to Apple.
Hopefully the original poster has already done this, simply waiting for help here is misguided - it looks a lot like the hardware has failed or is damaged. Apple may repair or replace it but only if you contact them.
Good luck

MBP Retina screen, shows facebook faded even after closed

I'm experiencing something a bit odd on retina screen of my MBP 15".
When i stay on facebook homepage for like 10-15 seconds then close it. Then switch to a greyish application, i can definitely see; search box, friend list on right etc. faded on greyish application.
After a minute or so, it totally disappears... I tried to capture its screenshot but it wasnt same on screenshot. So obviously it is hardware-related, not something specifically designed.
Is this normal?
EDIT: I tried it with other "too white pages" but it didnt result same or it wasnt obvious enough.

This is called ghosting. Search the forum and you will see others have experienced the same problem with the LG displays.

MBP retina screen flicker black?

Hello, after doing so much research and feels like getting no answer I decided to post on this forum, I hope I will get any answer
so I own a new MBP retina 15", it just came last week and I just start really using it yesterday. When I was working with photoshop i notice sometimes random black flicker will just flashes out in a milisecond. It doesnt happen only once but numerous times, a restart doesn't fix it.
Sadly I can't provide any screenshot here because it just randomly happen & gone so fast.
Anyone knows why and how to fix it? I'm pretty sad to find this problem in a really newly bought product

thank you for the reply, CT.
my flickering is not as bad as the one on the video, but still it annoys me because it's something like black long bar flashing.
so.. looks like this issue is going to be (maybe) fixed by bringing it to the store....?
