    Well got my screen replaced today and it looks great now but for how long I wonder!? I wasn't home when the repair guy replaced it and when my wife asked him about it he said he had never seen this image retention issue on the xps 12 before?? Not sure what to make of that?

    Yep took less than 2 weeks but image retention is back, only very slight at the moment but presume it's going to increase more and more over then next few months. Going to contact dell and see if I can get it exchanged for an xps 13 and pay the difference if needs be

    I'm sorry to hear that and even though I got a (quite aweosme) Yoga 2 Pro in the end his whole XPS12 screen has left me wary of going near Dell again, particularly for anything above standard office workhorse.

    I was originally going to go for Yoga 2 Pro but heard it has ridiculously high resolution that can be annoying? I think the tablet aspect is something that I don't really use t0o much so definitely think the xps 13 should suit me more anyway.

    I thought I wouldn't waste the 1800p screen, but I just went to 1080p and everything looks great plus it adds an hour at least of battery. Yeah, if you're just after a lappy the XPS13 would've been a better idea in the first place. Probably a better laptop than the Yoga is TBH.

    Well my xps 12 has been returned and I'm now enjoying the xps 13.
    I think in retrospect it's a nice idea but there was just so many little problems with it including image retention that I would never have been happy with it. I'd say the next version of it will be a lot better if they address issues like weight and screen.
