HOT! 23" Display, normal?

[yagran]

Hi, i got a new 23" ACD today, looks awesome.

only problem, i could fry an egg on it! its boiling hot, especially on the top!
Is this normal? or should i call apple.

I have brightness set to 100%, could this be the reason?

thanks for any advice

Well, they do get quite hot. What were you doing with it just before it got this hot? Is it in a well ventilated area? :)
