Hi I have the same problem. Contact the office of fair trading- you have to contact the store which you brought your mac from by registered letter. You can threaten to take the store to the small claims court if they do not replace or repair the mac. DO IT NOW! It doesnt cost you anything even if does go to court. Perhaps if Apple UK are forced to accept there is a problem then Apple US will register it to and do an extended warantee on all 17" imacs.
I took my 17" imac to apple store when a line appeared and they fixed it for free! crazy I know, it was out of warranty but all I had to do was ring applecare and they said they would fix it for free.
people come to share at the vertical lines national anthem: "Apple made a flop" - here on youtube!

I'm so disapointed with Apple. Even Dell fixes your displays and apple won't

@formularis Dude. If you know how to talk to Apple, they would send you a display or give you a discount. Sometimes.
