count me in
*sigh*
I waited, then I crossed my fingers, and ordered.
2.6Ghz with 16GB of Crucial brand RAM, 1TB HD.
Received mini on 11/20, then this morning (11/21) at about 9AM I had my first issue - black, then snow, then normal, over about 3 seconds. No intervention on my part, but I'm worried about it worsening.
Connected by HDMI to HDMI on my Vizio TV.
I can say that the colors are perfectly fine without any adjustment.
I'll give it some more time and then try the MDP to HDMI adapter, but I didn't purchase this to give up the only Thunderbolt port for video out.
Do not expect Apple to admit, officially, there is an issue. Even if support people have hear of it, they likely cannot confirm it either. As a company, they may admit the issue when/if they have a fix, but not before. That's pretty standard for most companies.
On the bright side - Apple's holiday return policy is in effect, so many of us with these minis don't have to return them until January 7, 2013. Confirm this yourself to make sure you are included (based on purchase date) and that I have the return date. I'm willing to give Apple until then to fix it.
