I picked up a refurbished Late 2014 a few months ago and just this morning I noticed some pretty major image retention problems. Specifically when I go from a website or app with a white background to a image or site with a dark background. See below. This is after being on a page in Safari and then going to Premiere.

I am taking it into the store tonight to get looked at/possible screen replacement. Is this just a know, guaranteed issue for this machines life? Also I just got a second one of these today from the same source for a new office. Should I expect for it to have the same issues?
 
I first posted a thread about image retention on my Late 2014 5K iMac back in early 2015, and subsequently saw it reappear on three different replacement LCD panels. So, at least from my experience, this is a very common problem on that model of iMac.
