Can't replicate the issue. My wife noticed the pixel issue along with me when I first fired it up and went through all the setup processes so I know I'm not crazy. Going to keep an eye on it but for now seems to have gone away.
That's always the worst. If you have problems, the least they can do for you is be consistent.
Sounds like a flaky video card though. It could very well re-appear. If I were you, I'd call Apple support about it. It may not happen right away, but if it happened once, somethings not right. It's better to get on it sooner than later. Maybe they'll just send you another one, and give you a return slip to send it back. Tell them you have no local Apple Store. The worst part is you'll have to wait another week and change, but at least you can keep from constantly giving the screen a suspicious look and waiting for it to happen again.
You're right. Probably make a phone call tomorrow and see what they want to do about it. I'd rather drive 2.5hrs then wait another 10 days but who knows if they have refurbs at the Orlando store. Meh, I'll figure it out.
My refurb i7 iMac will be here on tomorrow! Hopefully I won't have any issues with it as I'm really looking forward to it - it will be a MAJOR upgrade from my old C2D White Macbook.
Where do you live? I'm in NY and mine is scheduled for Sat. But i see no reason why it couldnt come a day early.
I'm in Atlanta - mine went out on the 8th, and tracking currently shows tomorrow as delivery date.
Took 10 days but I just got it and plugged it in and this is the first place I came.
Boy, Am I Pumped.. First thing I did was Look for the Yellow tint in the corner..
It's not there!!
Next thought was this keyboard is going to suck, But I'm starting to like it as well.
Hay!! what am i doing????
Im off to play and learn about this new toy...
First thing is to speed this mouse up.

Congrats! Always nice when it's finally in your hands. I'm in tracking limbo. Haven't had an update since Tuesday. Based on the progress of a refurb Airport Express I ordered a couple months ago I was sure they'd get this computer to me by tomorrow (Friday), but I'm not so sure.
I hate waiting for a package but the refurb price made it way worth the tradeoff.
Congrats! Hopefully I'll be coming here on my iMac on tomorrow!
skiltrip, I'm in the same boat with no updates - mine left Sacramento and made it to Reno, NV and no updates, but still showing a tomorrow delivery so hopefully I'll see an updated status in the morning. The wait is a bit excruciating.
Typing from my new (refurbished!) 27 i5 iMac. Zero visible defects on the exterior, and so far the PC functions 100% as intended.
Now just have to wait a few weeks and see if some weird issue crops ><
Either way, LOVING the screen, wow.
Yeah, this screen will ruin all other screens for you.
Easy fix, take it back. If you got it from Apple, you can take it back, even if it's a refurb. The same warranty rules apply.
