@kisinzcemm Good theory....I also believe that the extreme heat inside may contribute to it too. Can't wait to see the next generation of iMacs that should release soon!
UPDATE 12/11/11 THIS ISSUE HAS NOW BEEN RESOLVED BY APPLE. I COMMEND THEM FOR STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND RESOLVING MY ISSUE FOR ME. I WILL REMAIN A MEMBER OF THE APPLE PRODUCT FAMILY!
I had the same problem with my imac 2010 27". They changed my imac three times and after the third imac with dust problems i asked for a macbook pro. Now I have a 15" MBP 2011 2.2Ghz.
@AustrianAirlinePilot Interesting! If you don't mind me asking, was your iMac still covered by the warranty or had it expired? Also, did you escalate your issue through a local store of their toll-free number? My warranty expired a while back but I'm still pushing the issue.

@IrixGuy it to be broken down on the side of the road so soon. It's going to be upsetting if Apple resolves my issue and then the new component fails too. I don't know if I could personally accept a trade for a laptop though, since it's the size and small desktop footprint that made me sell my MacBook and buy an iMac. I guess I could just buy an off-brand LED display though and try to hide the cable clutter LOL.
@IrixGuy This is so upsetting but I remain confident that Apple will pull through with a first-class solution. I've managed to get the case escalated pretty high up so far and am patiently awaiting their feedback. I'll share the outcome here. How is your MBP treating you BTW? My MB was the 13 inch with LED back-lit and I had no issues with it.
I've contacted the Better Business Bureau and have encouraged them to assist with pushing Apple Computer to issue a product recall for the Apple Computer iMac 27-inch, Late 2009 model display.
i wonder if the fact the computer built in with the screen ......the fan or fans pull air plus dust in the case may be .....
