Apple Claims Display Issues on 27-Inch iMac Have Been Addressed

[Winni]

Good for you, now go play with windows 7 half ass made operating system.

and an dell tn monitor, I know you will be so much happier.

Last imac I had was the 17" round imac and it lasted until i gave it away with still no hardware or software problems. Not a gaming machine but for everything else it did the job apple quality has always had.

My last PC was a Gericom notebook, bought at the time when those fancy light bulb iMacs were still new, and my sister is still using that notebook today. The old Toshiba Satellite notebook of mine is also still in use by the person I sold it too, and that Toshiba is even two years older than the Gericom.

Windows 7 certainly is a much more mature, robust and better supported (even on Macs!) and more compatible 64-Bit operating system than Snow Leopard can ever hope to become.

Most of you guys here also claim that it is not important to run Snow Leopard's 64-Bit kernel, because a 32-Bit kernel with PAE is supposedly just as good, but the odd thing is that Windows 7 can run its pure 64-Bit kernel on my Mac Pro while Snow Leopard can only run in 32-Bit PAE mode. In my book something is terribly wrong with a picture when a third party platform supports features that the manufacturer's own platform can't.

But after the last couple of years in Apple land, that is the quality that I have come to expect from Apple.

This is a funny, yet oh so wrong, comment. I believe the panel in the 27" iMac's is the same panel used in the Dell UltraSharp 27" monitor.

If you're so blind that you cannot appreciate other hardware or operative systems you've been sipping the kool-aid a little too long.

Thanks, I like my half ass operating system better then your double-priced PC.

That's the way it is

To all the people complaining about how apple's quality is going down: please! All companies suffer from this. It's the price of business. In a perfect world none of this would happen, but "reality check", it's not a perfect world! Look I have owned many and know others that have and still own Apple products and none yet (knock on wood) including myself have had any any issues. But the best part is, I really don't care even if I were to have a an issue. I feel confident Apple has my back! Apple Stores are abundant and Apple's service is A+!! That has always been Apple's greatest asset: they stand behind there products 100%!!

Doesn't work for a "premium brand" at a premium price.

People expect better, as they should. "Pay more, get more", not
"pay more, get the same crap as the cheap systems".

When you spend 4x what Macy's charges for a T-shirt just because it has
"DKNY" on it, you should be outraged if the seams unravel on the
first washing.

That glowing Apple on the lid should be good for more than just
posing at Starbucks.

Yup, everything's exactly the same and Apple computers ALWAYS have problems....

ITS CALLED A FLUKE, this time it's not even Apple's fault, they don't manufacture these screens.

 

[Maui]

No, but they sell them.

 

[NT1440]

No, but they sell them.

Yea, so do dozens of other companies.

 

[mplaisance]

Yea it is a premium brand!!

...and that is why they stand 100% behind their products!! also it is being said that a "very" small amount of the 27' are affected. Very Small! But of course the Apple Haters troll on this and spread it like "wild fire"! Shame that people have to hate on an American Company. Yea I know it is made in China but hell isn't everything?
I had a friend who bought a Dell from Walmart. The screen wnt out and he brought it back to Walmart and they said "not our problem" and to call Dell. Dell said sorry that product is out of warranty because Walmart had on it's shelves over a year. Yea probably a rare case but shows that good no great companies always stand behind there products!!

One might as well say an operating system should be 100% right first time and never need an update or fix. That's not going to happen. It's not the nature of the industry. No-one expects such a Utopian situation.
Same with Macs. If a new model didn't have new features, design or new technology, you'd go elsewhere, or stick to last year's model. So you have to be aware of a small possibility of glitches now and then in the latest stuff. The important thing is that the company rectifies things without quibble.
If anything, high price might actually increase the risk of a problem, due to newer, less tried-and-tested components being used.
NASA has problems with machines costing billions, but some here think their cheap (yes, iMacs are cheap) computer should be fail safe. Laughable really.

Buddy also get your facts. when you compare "apples to apples" no pun intended, macs are generally not 4x as much as you claim! Less not forget the service, quality, product support, cool factor (mine and many others opinion), design, no virus (that is right there are to date no known Mac OS X virus), no crappy pre installed adware "out the box", and it just plain works. Look to each his own. But this is an Apple site and I hate the Apple Hating Trolls that come on here to start ****. I don't go to Microsoft feeds to troll.

How you like that i7? Soon to be getting mine!

Perhaps you should take a course in reading comprehension.

I "claimed" that a t-shirt with "DKNY" on it was 4x a generic
t-shirt at Macy's. (Which, of course, is not a store on my short
list for value-priced clothing - but they do have a great selection
of sexy men's underwear.)

How did you bring Apples into that equation, let alone come to
the conclusion that I claimed that Apples are four times the price
of Windows systems?

glad to see this!

So I guess you want an apology? So by claiming a "DXNY shirt costs 4x more than a generic shirt", what is your point? What does that have anything to do with iMac 27"? I mean I was just using pure logic that by using a "DXNY to generic" metaphor, you were trying to say Macs are 4x as much. So if I have offended you I apologize! And yes they do have Great Underwear

It's not Apple Haters, it's Apple hating on the customers that buy at a premium and get's corncobbed in the rear end with no where to turn.

Thats how the whole thing started, it's frustrating shelling out 2-3 grand for a premium item and not getting an answer until hmmm, 12 weeks?!

And as an American, we get to hate and speak our mind, it's our right

 

[Sir Cecil]

After nearly two months, everything is working beautifully. Super-quiet, no yellow and no flickers. Nor any of the other things some have reported, like scratched CDs or sleep problems.
This was a replacement. My first i7 had some minimal yellowing at the very bottom of the screen. Otherwise, that too was perfect.
My i7 is undoubtedly the finest, most satisfying Mac I've owned

No where to turn? Apple has been willing to replace these systems as many times as necessary. They even gave out money (apparently for shipping costs) to customers. If you have no where to turn its because you're turning a blind eye.

 

[timtom10001]

Buddy also get your facts... no virus (that is right there are to date no known Mac OS X virus) I don't go to Microsoft feeds to troll.

So the whole iLife2009 virus was just an imagination like the tinted yellow screens that was only a myth until people made noise...

Talking about facts...

Just slay'in trolls today ::slash, chop, chop::

ok, your comment is both aggressive and unnecessary (and incorrect, there have been viruses for Macs). you need to calm down. this isn't a site for extremist fanboys to claim territory. first and foremost, it's a news site dedicated to apple rumours, but if you check the "forums" tab you'll see there are many more areas of this site. some of us so-called "Apple Hating Trolls" have been using macs and this forum much longer than you (September 15, 2009 stated in your profile). from the sounds of your childish drivel perhaps much longer than you were even born.

Again my point: Great Customer Service!! I expect machines to break. There are made my human hands and they will break from time to time, same as that Hard Drive in you system will someday fail (and it will fail). What I expect from my hard earned money on a machine is someone or some company to stand behind it. Hey they fixed it didn't they!! Give them credit for that! BMW's, Porches, and even Toyota's break!

Who is saying it's a very small amount? Apple? Of course they are going to say that. Considering the number of people getting many many defective units in a row, and all of the stories on the web, I'd say the problem is actually quite rampant.

First off no one is hating or being aggressive. Calm down? Smiling the whole time Fanboy? Please call what you want. Just defending a product that I happen to like. Virus on Mac? Yes on Macs but not on Mac OS X! Mac user? Never even checked my profile. So it is wrong. Been using for 6 years now!

You expect NEW machines to be broken? Multiple times?? You don't see the irony in Apple completely sealing the iMac hard drives when you admit they WILL break? This is part of the problem.

This seriously sounds like a paid poster/damage control kind of thing. They do exist after all.

Sup Nt,

What I meant was... Apple's denial of a small flaw that they should address publicly early on instead of "tricking people" (very loose term, but if you're not telling the truth you're basically lying and tricking like very good lawyers) into buying something that seems like if it never seen the light of quality control.

The whole money thing was only 8 weeks after because the flood gate was about to burst, damage control I guess...

I love Apple, but come on, returning and returning and no explaining is like going to the doctors without a diagnosis. It's a waste of time and very frustrating... I do design work on my macs and I assume many others do too... so we don't have time to wait around or play russian roulette with a faulty mac again and again...


But with that being said and this new announcement, I'm about to get me a nice 27 inch
