Spent nearly a year saving up for an iMac......researching apple.... The joy at the new iMac being released.....The best combination for me......Finally took the plunge & ordered..... Que 2 weeks of excitement & build up......tidying & clearing down my study in preparation..... Finally arrived last Monday.....
After setting up I immediately couldn't keep away from exploring & messing however I couldn't help but notice in everything I did it wasn't as sharpe as I was imagining it to be. This was most noticeable in all the menus & messages where the writing almost seemed a little blurred & like the old fashioned text messages we all used to see where you can almost make out the pixels making up the letters/numbers!!
Cut a long story short it turns out the screens resolution was operating on roughly 1200 x 780. Several phone calls to apple & various re boots etc they tell me the graphics card is fine but not working on the machine so some kind of hardware compatibility issues.......
Consequently they are sending me a brand new machine so the same specs & I will have to send it back! So the last week has been wasted with me setting it up to my preferences.
The guy said it would of been sent out like this with the graphics card not working as this was how it started straight out of the box..... How could a company like apple allow such a simple mistake to happen in the first place & not even identify its not working before sending out?!?
Very disappointed & let down apple Fan, which has taken the edge of me buying my very first IMac......!!!!!!!
