Mine's going back. I just got it and just called apple. The screen is a bit warm compared to my 2012, but more than that the temp isn't even throughout the screen. The top is warmer cooler than the bottom. The top right is a bit red.

That looks like a beauty!
You're kidding right? Most of the pictures people post it's pretty hard to tell, but his I definitely see yellowing on the bottom.
Yep. Bottom part of the screen is yellow. Looks exactly like the screen of my rMBP.
Yes, that is what my screen looks like. I think it looks cheap and like there is piss on the screen. You should ask for a replacement.
If you see very deep yellow... return and/or replace it.
If you think you see blotches of yellow, or parts of the screen yellower than others... return and/or replace it.
If you think you might be seeing some super light yellow filter if you pay close attention, calibrate and keep it.
With my display, I thought I maybe saw some yellow filter, calibrating it actually came up with a profile that made the whites maybe whiter. I think its really a personal observation/preference thing.
Looks yellow in the corners to me, but it's hard to tell in these photos. Only you can decide whether the screen meets your standards.
I really dont know why apple sells computers knowing that kind of issue, again is so bad.
for desigers like me, color management etc... is so important and that kind of thing affect the work.

Call up and demand a replacement. Get angry. Tell them about this forum. Worked for me, although it's too soon to see if my replacement is any better. Should be arriving on the 12th.
I agree with this. It seems the LG Screens are the keepers this year. No IR issues on my 15" with LG screen and is bright as can be. No yellow in sight.
but what happens if you send back and apple send you again another sansung with issues? or you can choose the LG?
I still dont buy the machine, so how can get a LG without problems
maybe you live in USA or Europe so is easy replace for you, return, I dont live in USA but I buy from USA to my country, so! return is soooo hard and expensive, maybe you understand me why I make the questions before buy, even I can wait, the point is that I dont want waste my money for that yellow tint machine of $2600

no ghosting in the new LG's like the previous model?
by the way, how we can detect between and LG and Sansung? with terminal and some commands? or?
If I recall from other posters, ghosting wasn't apparent until a couple months in with the LG display. You can't know until your out of that 14 day return period. LG is also susceptible to yellow blotches as some users have reported.

Yes, I can imagine that in some countries it is difficult to get a replacement. I would suggest that you wait for Apple to get these issues sorted if you cannot return easily. Many of us are having to go through multiple replacements.
What is funny is I have noticed anyone complaining about LG seems to be in the rMBP 13" category. The 15" ones all seem to be happy with theres.
What may be funnier is all the Macbook Pros in stores around me have only the Samsung on display for all the 15'' models. They all look great.
