I'm surprised they didn't make one of the edges (bottom) of the ACD/27" iMac panel the same height?
Got a tip for us?

2560x1440 is a troublesome resolution....

never had any real problems with reading fonts from the 27", the screen is bout 3feet away from me. The only issue I have, well not really an issue. Is finding wallpapers that is actually 2560x1440. I'm hoping that maybe someone or the admin would put up a stickie of a list of urls that have wallpapers that is that big..
Here is an example of some of the issues. The first is an example of searching for "Final Fantasy XIII", and then clicking the "show me price" on the 360 Limited Edition. As you can see, I can't see the price till I make everything bigger.
Same problem with the Photobucket website, as you can see the search bar is messed up...
I deal with this crap all the time it seems. FIX IT, APPLE!
Also, is there an easy way to keep the reply boxes on web sites bigger by default. I have to keep stretching every reply box on the message boards. That shizzle is getting old, yo!

^ most issues like that where something is cut off are going to be problems with the web design on those sites where the layout has not taken into consideration increasing the font size.
No, I disagree. I bough the 27" ESPECIALLY for the resolution. In fact, I have a 24" LED display next to it.
I just want the ability to make everything a little bigger for text etc, just like you can in *gasp* Windows! I like the extra resolution mostly for photography.
Then why are you complaining about the resolution..?
If you can get used to the 1920x1200 on a 17" mbp, then the 2560 x 1440 should be about the same in terms of getting used to on a 27".
Well I dont know what else to tell ya except I guess the 2560x1440 resolution sucks on a 27".
One of the reasons I have held off with a 27 imac is the small fonts. If i have to resize most things to read them or get another pair of special eye glasses then it is not worth it. The 21" is too small but a 24" 1920 x 1200 would be a sweet spot for me. I do not understand why it they only come in Medium and X-tra large. Large (24" would be perfect).
This is why I'm waiting for a 15" i7 uMBP to use with my 24" LED ACD. Thats the ultimate sweet spot.
This is the first day I've used my 27" imac, I have no problem reading any fonts.
small fonts?
somebody doesnt know what they are talking about
the fonts are not small. they are the same size on any other mac! its the fact that the resolution is really REALLY dense for the 27" form factor that its fit into. if you dont like the fonts at the default size (12 i think?) change it!
you can change OSXs font sizes quite easily. you can do the same in safari (i am not referring to zooming in here, i am tlaking about changing the font size)
true, it did take me about a week to get used to the increase in pixel density, but im used to it now.
dont fret over it.
Me either but I'm reading the forums right now on my iPhone yes I have 20/20 vision!
Well if you have no problem reading the fonts then I guess no one else should either....
I use Readability on all my Macs and work PC.s Makes everything much easier to read and gets rid of ads.

The somebody who doesn't know what they are talking about is you. Everyone knows the font size can be changed. If you had actually read the thread before replying you would understand that. The problem is changing the font size, especially in Safari, causes other issues. Read the thread before acting like a know it all.
no offense, but did you actually look back to see who posted first?
anyway, what method are we using the change the fonts? going through safari->preferences->appearance tab->fonts? or are we zooming in using
+'+' ?meh, its not apples problem, it lies with the build of the website, as has already been said. not much we can do about it really.
What are you talking about? The formatting and clickable links are messed up because you keep zooming in and out. STOP. READ YOUR WEBSITES AT 100% ZOOM. THE PIXEL DENSITY ISN'T EVEN THAT HIGH. IF YOU CAN'T READ IT, YOU NEED TO VISIT AN OPTOMETRIST OR SIT CLOSER TO YOUR SCREEN.
It's messing up BECAUSE YOU KEEP ZOOMING IN AND OUT. STOP IT. JUST.. WOW ... JUST STOP.
Again, if things are getting cut off it's because of a lack of support for changing the size of the page in the web design of those sites.
I don't know what you like but I set my standard font to Helvetica 16, and the minimum size to 12. I can read all text fine at this size and I do not need to zoom on any sites.
