imac Screen Issue Part 7

[charliebrown0028]

And yet you "#$"#% keep buying apple crap

[SuperSam990]

If this somehow comes up, wait for 1 or 2 month with black spot on the screen. Apple  made a flop show on 27 inch imac. If this is new, get your money back ASAP.

hi man come and see my new video:"Apple made a flop"

and be happy to have you on "the official i-hate Apple" facebook group..:)

Buy expensive computer with weak graphics card... be happy and smug?

lol, whatever

The iMacs ATI video card is literally cooking inside a poorly ventilated case and screen flicker is the result. ATI video cards notoriously run hot even in a well ventilated case. To say ATI's need extra ventilation is an understatement.

[vovtoons]

It's not just the ATI's that have the Problem. The NVidia has some problems. It's the Screen & the Screen cable going to the Video Card. I know because I have the same issue with my 21.5 NVidia iMac.

[miked826]

The cable thing is an easy fix but to cram all that heat generating electronics into an unventilated monitor case is just crazy and uh dare I say stupid.

[vovtoons]

Yea but it's not just the cable it's defective Screens from LG I presume. But I have to agree with your point. There's a lot of stuff crammed in there. But not EVERY iMac has these problems. I know someone with a 24" that the screen is flawless & never flickers.

[miked826]

I mean I look at the back of iMacs and cant see a single place for air to enter or exit. Is it waterproof or what? LOL

Oh, so they use different screen makers? I bet you the iMacs that do flicker all use the exact same screen maker and only those screens can't handle the lack of ventilation maybe? Fascinating Captain. LOL

[vovtoons]

The new iMac (Late 2009) has an Air Vent on Top in back & on Bottom in back, near the Power Cord. So it's better but not perfect.

I play lots of demanding games and watch 1080p movies constanly and my iMac 27inch with the 4850 isn't flickering

[benstones93]

Apple seriously need to get some QC; and I'm an avid Apple fan but this is just unacceptable, very embarrassing for such a large corporation.

[guitaristguy20]

Apple care. I wont buy a mac without it.

[SteveZussou]

man this happened to my imac... had inverter board replaced 2 times already. Now out of warrenty I''m pissed as it is broken again!!!

[manlykscorpa]

pissed ur hardrive is ind screen ur data is gone

[groovycake]

DAMN! I ordered my new imac 3.06ghz this morning. I hope it isn't like yours :-/

[an2003]

What were Apple's or the reseller's response when you told them about the problem?

[Hakkintosh]

U should return it to apple and get a new one,when did u buy it?.I'm sure they'll replace it.
