It's people like you who don't care about QC that allow Apple to get away with this crap!
meh, no need to be condescending to the guy who wants what he pays for. Enough people exchange and complain and next gen will have better screens.
You need to go and get it. It is all what you are willing to do to find that “perfect” screen. They vary in production so there is a chance you find what you are happy with. Good luck.
I really can't understand how there isn't outcry about these screens.
THEY ARE HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!

Using the first pattern you want to look for color uniformity in particular. Are the bars the same color on the left and right. On my screen the bars are slightly pink on the left and more normal on the right.
I hope not. But something tells me it is. What I suspect is that the majority of people can’t tell or don’t care if the color uniformity of their 3 grand machine sucks donkey D.
[doublepost=1545834503][/doublepost]I think it’s wide spread because out of the 5 computers I’ve looked at in total only one had a decent screen.

I'm not going to disagree but I have made the assumption of the few people I know with the newer generation 15-inch MacBook Pros (who I know wouldn't tell or care) that they have this issue and when I got a good look at their display, they don't have it. Go figure 
So it's definitely a WTF moment for me!

Well that means there is hope that my third unit won’t suck D.
God let's f'n hope so!
[doublepost=1545835289][/doublepost]Oh by the way, though I find it extremely anecdotal, I read somewhere that the silver models didn't seem to suffer as much from this problem.
I just think most of the screens are bad. I think it’s highly unlikely the next will be good. But as I want a Mac I’ll give them a final chance.
Just want to offer a quick update. I recently sold my i9 32/1GB/Vega 20 2018 version with a sub-perfect screen and just picked up the 2.4 i9/32/1TB/Vega 20 2019 version. The screen on this thing is near perfect. So Apple, in fact, can ship a decent screen. The new keyboard is OK. Keys feel stiffer, but they are definitely more quiet than the 2018 version. The speed of this thing is terrific, and there is no thermal throttling that I can detect. The fans are louder, though.
Nah you're not being OCD alot of TVs, Phones, Laptops even the most expensive of these things have some degree of screen uniformity display issues these days. where one side shows more like than the other or a slight tint of another colour even the dramatic screen light burn in on Microsoft Surfaces
To these companies
We all want a perfect screen
we've had enough!
I think we should get what we pay for.
