What is wrong with my retina screen? extrem ghosting in 5 min.

A few minutes after I turn on the macbook, my display ghosts very much. Does anyone know why?

"Here’s an article about the issue: Avoiding image persistence on Apple displays. And some temporary fixes.

Most of the time a new display can fix the issue."

I’ve had this problem too on a late 2013 iMac, and I recently discovered that one thing that seems to get rid of the ghosted windows almost immediately is using f.lux to switch to darkroom mode. I tried that on a whim after restarting didn’t work and the ghosted windows vanished, even after switching back to normal mode. Maybe worth a shot!

Hi there, before you'll try a high complexity surgery with your device, please try this, it’s free and super easy... I've found that I can fix easily this issue installing Macs Fan control free version. The problem of display ghosting is related directly with the internal temperature of your device. You've got to install that application and play arround a little with it and in a few hours running on to a high RPM velocity you'll suprised that the ghosting will dissapear, you got to be a little patient. When you check that ghosting finally dissapears, next you'll have to find for a RPM range that best fits your device performance in order to run the fan system smoothly silent and without this ghosting image. I will never buy a Mac's again there are really beautifull but always has serious problems with their hardware. I’ll be glad to hear if it’s works for you too, Cheers from Argentina!!

Have you tried SMC and NVRAM reset if after doing this you are facing an issue then there is a logic board or display error.

appears to be a software-hardware issue. not monitor. As I have 2 MacBooks and switches displays. one does it the other does not do this ghosting. 1 MacBook is newer and that was has the issue.
