Re: Greyish Smudge marks behind the glass screen.

Here is a photo taken with a macro lens showing the border I mentioned that was not evident on the first two screens I had replaced under Apple Care. The earlier screens went at least to the edge of the black surround on the iMac glass screen front which makes me think a different panel was fitted for my current screen. I don't notice this in normal use now as it's dark and blends in with the screen border. Bear in mind this photo is magnified and brightened to show the small gap. Again, there has been no re-occurence of the smudging and marks since this screen was fitted.


iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

After close examination, my third replacement screen has the led border. However, I don't know if the other screens had the border. I am hopeful, this screen seems to be lasting the longest.
