I have a new imac i7 and it's awesome but i am surprised that it doesn't tilt down! I have a desk that is very tall and it would be nice to have the imac tilt slightly down like other monitors I have owned. Sorry to rant, but I just can't believe that this wasn't implemented in the design!

I see what you men, it tilts up quit a bit, but does not tilt down much at all. How about using an arm mount like on a flat panel tv screen ? The iMac was designed to be able to do this, perhaps just for people in your situation.

I had to get an arm desk mount for that same reason, the couple of inches I lowered it by using the arm made all the difference.

I hope the OP has a chance to visit the Best Arm For New 27" iMac (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=807142) thread to hear some of the many happy stories of iMac owners and their arms (well, except for rmsilver7's run in with Marisa... ;) ). A radial articulating arm not only solves the downward tilt problem, but provides a bounty of other ergonomic options and is a natural match for the new iMac.
