'Staingate'

Apple is replacing the affected screens for free, I had mine replaced few months back (late 2013, 13" Retnina Macbook Pro).

Not sure why people are downvoting your comment. It's a real issue you are trying to help.

I had mine replaced for free a few months back as well :)

Why is this being downvoted? Is it incorrect? If not it seems useful.

Staingate is a real thing and @achow's comment is correct and is very useful and that's probably what is happening with @component's mbp.

Sadly, yes it is "staingate"

Did a bit more digging and found a site [1] which has a gallery of affected MBP, showing the different levels of "staingate"
