any updates ?
have you got it powered up while monitor is sitting off the chassis on a towel in front of unit,
and while powered up, give the cables a slight move and see if this has any effect on the image.
to test the cable it;'s self for a break and connectors. at logic board end and lcd end.
I've completely disassembled it and reassembled it again, insuring all cables are perfectly aligned and in the right spot. Everything seems to be fine and hooked up correctly. Still the display looks like the picture.
questions:
1) could the blade ssd cause this?
2) Is it worth trying a new vcld(sp) cord before taking it in to Apple?

I totally disagree.
Put the original hard drive in and se if it still does it.
If its a new iMac. I'd just call up Apple if you got it online and tell them its faulty.
Likewise if its from a store just tell them and get it replaced.
I really don't concern myself about the warranty validity when there are plenty of faulty iMacs around.
I opened up a 2010 iMac and put my own SSD in. Took the SSD out and returned the iMac a week later. They didn't check to see if it was opened at all.
Then again I didn't break anything.

the worst part is, I never even check to see if it worked before I started installing the upgrades! sigh! I just took delivery and started taking it apart!
thats the first no no....smh
pleas keep us updated! as i too will be installing an ssd blade like others
The Regular SSD install takes around 15 mins as the blade takes an hour, might be something to think about when attempting this. If i were to do it again, Id just install a vertex 4 512gb
Ten to one... Apple will make it right.
