If you read the online forum and article, they all state that the new iMac has some serious problems. Many of Apple iMac users got the new 27-inch or 24-inch iMac with a broken screen; most of the time this problem is in the lower left of the display. This is very frustrating when you purchase a very expensive computer with state-of-the-art technology, powerful processor and you receive it with a broken screen. This cracked screen problem is actually low on the Apple iMac problem list, because only 16% of the users with iMac problems got an iMac with broken display.
The most common iMac problem is a flickered screen, yellow screen or a screen that just went black. The flicker or the screen distortion happens randomly in the screen and the users described it as a horizontal bat popping in and out of the display. Sometimes the screen just goes black and like nothing happened it comes back on and this happens 2 or 3 times in a row. This is just wrong, although many users exchanged their Apple iMac, some of them had to exchange up to three computers before getting a problem-free iMac.
The best feature of the 27-inch iMac is the big screen, but when the screen comes with a dead pixel and a lot of dust underneath is not great anymore. This problem has been discovered by many users when they received their iMac, but Apple exchanged the computers with new and defect-free ones.
Last month, Apple said that the iMac display issues have been fixed thanks to its 2 software updates. If you have a problem with a yellow display or a display that just goes black, you should know that Apple resealed the 27-inch iMac Display Firmware Update 1.0 – this software is for late 2009 iMac models, so you can download and install it on your computer if you have some problems.
Although the new iMac has or had some problems, from the released of it in last October, the 27-inch iMac has become the third best selling computer and the 21.5 – inch model has taken the fist place. We still believe in iMac even it has some problems, because the computer looks great, actually is a beautiful computer with a high quality display. Whacking movies and videos on the screen is divine and we don’t have to forget about the game play that is great on the big screen.
The 27-inch Apple iMac has been a huge it with Apple users and the sales continue to grow because this computer is the best all-in-one desktop Apple has ever made. So, if you have an 27-inch Apple iMac and you have noticed yellowish tinges or flickering to the display, you should download the following updates: iMac Display Firmware Update 1.0 and iMac Graphics Firmware Update 1.0.
