Is it true? Have I just bought the mythical perfect 24 inch iMac screen?

[wrldwzrd89]

I just bought a new 24 inch Intel iMac today. :D I've been following the screen issues in this forum some people have been having - mine, however, is trouble-free. No dark or light spots, no banding, and no dead pixels.

I hope this is more common than what the people on this forum would have me believe. :p

You're not the only one - mine is absolutely perfect too :D

[m1stake]

At least two of you are lying :D

[zackkmac]

I believe you, mine's the same way. :)

Just (end of July) bought a 24" for work. Absolutely stunning and not a single defect.

Had mine for about a month now. 24" 2.8 GHz. Upgraded the ram myself to 4 gig. Best computer I've ever owned. Really enjoy the screen. No problems and the glass screen just makes everything pop. Beautiful. Just Beautiful!!!

Fine here! Seriously, the 99+% with no problems never write (except right now). Those with problems, even though real, are disproportionately represented in the forurms.

[bc008]

no problems here! (and did i mention it was my first one ;))

[mdhwoods]

had mine since December and no issues. Forums like this are usually filled with people that have issues, ones who do not rarley post about it.

No - I'll be fine.

[LifeAfter1am]

Ive had mine since January 9th and only had one tiny little problem. Other than that I am completely happy. :)

[IgnatiusTheKing]

Bought mine in November and have had nary an issue. Screen is perfect, too.

[drfp25]

mine is great, unfortunately when ppl see it they love it so much they can't help but touch and i get smudges all over

How about 20" ??
I've just planned want to buy the 20" for me since 24" too large :eek:

Anyone use 20" with perfect condition ?

Ha! Nice to meet you!

I have 1 dead pixel and 2 dead sub-pixels on my 24" but I've decided to live with it since I can't afford to lose the machine to a service centre while they fix it.

I bought my 20" iMac the 1st of August, and the screen is perfect.

What in Hell is a sub-pixel? A sandwich?

[sk8mash]

Mine is perrrfect!

A sub-pixel is one of the elements that make up an LCD pixel (each pixel consists of 3 LED elements).

OK, thanks for the answer. But wouldn't you have to have x-ray vision to see that a subatomic pixel was malfunctioning? Sheesh.

No - you can tell by looking at the color of the offending pixel. If it's supposed to be white, and it's yellow instead, the blue part is not working, for example.

[AppleMatt]

Have you tried one of those movies/screensavers that claim to fix it?

Hi,

Mine is perfect as far as I am concerned too! It really annoys me when people keep telling me all about how crap the iMac screen is when, despite the fact I spent 5 years as a process engineer in an LCD repair facility, I can see nothing wrong with it. Quite the reverse in fact - it is the best LCD display I have ever seen or owned and I have seen/owned a few!

Having said that, I don't believe in absolute perfection so I'm sure there will be something that isn't quite "perfect" but it's a close run thing! Show me a piece of equipment which is perfect and I'll find a fault...

I get the feeling that there are some folk out there who only bought an iMac to find fault with it. I, on the other hand, bought mine to get real work done. Each to his/her own...

Cheers,
Craig.

I recently picked up a new iMac 24, 3.06 beast to add to my stable of PC platforms. I happen to think Windows, and especially Vista, are as awesome as Mac OS X, but they just excel in different areas. Both the PC and Mac platforms have clear strengths and I'm blessed to have the opportunity to use both.

My iMac screen is flawless and it's a real thrill to use.
