I understand your logic, but I'd rather hear from owners at this time than buying it then packing it up to return it. I'm sure you can relate to the inconvenience. If this was an iPad, I would take your advice.
I have been reading numerous threads on the forum and haven't seen anything, yet. That includes the iMac threads and I don't even have an iMac lol
How does @Apple_Robert reply to every thread first, every time? And always seems to shoot down down the OP. I'm sorry @Apple_Robert but you're not helping these forum users out.
I didn't say the OP was wrong. I didn't say that there has been no problems at all. I simply stated I haven't seen any mention of what the OP is concerned about.
I haven’t heard or read of anything about this. Maybe jump on some of the other threads and see the comments from owners of the new iMac. Everything looks pretty positive.
Thanks. Been searching everywhere online but cannot find a single thread on this so maybe it's safe to say the screens on these new iMacs have consistent blacks. I'm just hoping this is not because people are not checking their units thoroughly.
Ahh ok. It seems like you are indeed experiencing backlight bleeding and some IPS glow. This tells me they are out there.
As usual, it's a lottery on these screens. Sad to know you're experiencing these.
Could you take a photo of the issue your are seeing? It could be also IPS glow which is common for this type panel.
So people who are told mac stuff is the best quality only to find out it isn’t are OCD? or just expecting the sales pitch to be accurate? I’m sure someone who has actual OCD will be along shortly to point out having a medical condition doesn’t make them abnormal.
for daytime use this screen is amazing-bright, excellent colour gamut etc -i just get the impression it’s just not designed for watching dark movies at night as the WHOLE screen (eg not in patches which might indicate a build issue) suffers the “lighting clouds when looking from angle angle but square on” issue-it’s not an issue per se, just not a night screen!
It would be interesting to see a photo of the issue you are describing but I'm pretty sure it is not just faulty display in your iMac. I'm also one of the cursed ones that I tend to notice all small issues with displays and I do always check them in a dark room using different test patterns. In my case it has usually turned that if I ask others if they see the same they mostly claim no but then asking more details it usually turn out almost no one else is looking their displays so hard and most just use them in very bright conditions and never even have much possibility to see the issues...
