S1 Yoga with ghosting - Looking for a replacemen​t screen that doesn't ghost

Question

I've had this system for around three weeks now and I can say that, while not terribly bothersome, the ghosting issue is definitely present and always makes me a bit concerned when using the device for long periods as I've heard some things about the retention growing worse over time. With that considered, I've two questions. The foremost is to what degree does the image retention grow worse over time, and how severe is it likely to become on a system that is used 6 or 7 days every week and anwhere from 2-5 hours each of those days? Secondly, I've heard that newer systems are shipping with screens that do not display any sort of retention problem and that service centers have such screens available. Would it be possible to obtain a replacement screen, which doesn't experience the retention issue, that I could simply swap myself? I would prefer not to have to send my laptop to a service center because I have a very regular need for it and couldn't spare it for more than a few days during the upcoming holidays. I have quite a considerable amount of experience working with such devices and making FRU swaps, and am confident that I could make the swap (assuming that the process isn't too particularly difficult), especially with reference materials to guide myself. Any feedback or information is appreciated. Thank you for your time.
