Dark stripes on the inside glass of the screen of 27" iMac

On my new 27" screen there are stripes on the inside of the glass.
It is on the right site of the screen. The right top and like a quarter of the screen.
It is like when you clean your windows and you get stripes when the windows dry up. It's not visible when you set a black background or there is black color in the corner. But the lighter the color becomes the better it is visible. Does anybody else have this problem?

Hey Tim,
Thanks for the info - It was purchased through the Apple Online Store.
After I spoke with you, someone from Apple called back to say that they were going to replace it - I'd taken photos of the issue and emailed them through originally.
- it's going to take a couple of weeks to get the new machine as apparently they're all shipping from Asia (Had a very impatient wait with the apple & TNT parcel tracker widget!) - and I also got a 500gb hdd put in as well, but they're happy for me to use this one until the new one arrives which is great, then there's apparently going to be a couple of days between them picking the old machine up and delivering the new one.
Everyone at Apple has been so helpful and responsive though, I've been really impressed with the service.

  • The picture from my AppleTv on my Samsung LCD TV doesn't fill the entire screen.  It is only a strip across the screen

    The picture on the screen when viewing movies on Apple TV on a samsung lcd screen is only a strip across the screen and doesn't fill the entire screen.  Any settings suggestions?

    If you can get to the settings on the AppleTV attempt to adjust the resolution settings to something more appropriate.

  • When I am streaming videos there is a dark green tint to the darker colors on the screen.

    When I am streaming a video, there are dark green shades to some of the darker areas on the screen.  For instance if someone in the video has dark hair, there are green tints to the hair.  It almost looks like a color negative, but not quite.  This has just started happening.   I've had my mac book pro for about 2 months.

    Could you please give us a picture of what is going on. This is a picture of what the top of Safari looks like when I go to the Help menu. I typed in the word cache and a number of options appeared below. Is this not happening for you?

    Mac and Mac models are picky about the RAM the Mac needs to see and use.
    As you have found out, the 1067 speed RAM will not work in your year and model iMac.
    You need the 1333 speed RAM.
    If, you can return the RAM for a refund, do it!
    If not, try online Mac RAM source and seller Crucial memory. They have a table that matches your Mac to the correct and reliable RAM. You may need to contact them to see whether or not they ship to South Africa, though.
    If Crucial dpesn't work out, here's the specs for your year and model iMac that you need to seek out and purchase.
    Maximum Memory
    32 GB (Actual) 16 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    4 - 204-pin PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    Good Luck!

  • Dark smudges on the screen that won't go away?

    I was wondering if anyone had any solutions for getting rid of dark smudges on the screen that seem to be internal in nature.  I have an early 2008 black Macbook.  The spots are kind of annoying so I was looking for a solution.  Is this something fixable?

    strange little bar codes appear around every icon on the screen of my imac?

    thankyou peoples, i believe you & think that i may have 'failed electrolytic capacitors', which is somewhat  reasurring as it means that this machine is not about to explode. besides its better than kidney failure or heart failure or generally life failure. its time to upgrade anyway so i think this is a message to do so.......really appreciate your help......

  • What would cause a slim horizontal line across the screen of my iMac?

    There is a slim line across the Center if the screen. It is horizontal. It does not appear every time I boot up, but it is causing concern.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It would mean that your display or GPU are starting to fail, most likely the GPU, as the line is not permanent. Does the line move during the time your iMac is turned on or change if you start up in safe mode (holding the Shift key while your Mac is starting)?
    A good test you can do is to make a screenshot of the screen when your iMac is showing the line. To make the screenshot, press Command, Shift and 3 keys, and the screenshot will appear in the desktop. Double-click it and see if the line appears. If it appears, it's the GPU. If not, it's the display

  • The screen of my iMac flashes green during boot-sequence, then returns to normal.

    During the boot-sequence the screen of my Imac 27" flashes green (once), then returns to normal. This does not happen when I boot my Windows (Bootcamp) partition, so I assume this is some kind of OSX driver error. This started to happen only after I installed the latest patch (10.9.3). Did anybody else encounter this and/or knows how to get rid of it ?

    Hey fumanchu,
    Did a small google search and found the following:

    Basically reset the PRAM.
    Worked for me hope it works for you buddy. I did it due what the first link said "might be user abuse to the display". doesn't sound good.

  • Series of Dark Spots at the Screen Bottom

    Hi all,
    Just purchased my Macbook Pro 15" w/ Anti-Glare LCD screen. This is the 4th Mac I've owned over the years so I'm familiar with them. The second time I went to use it, I noticed a series of dark spots positioned horizontally at the bottom of the screen. Each one is absolutely even in shape, size and spacing and it looks as though each spot fans out into the top of the screen, gradually decreasing in intensity.
    Unless a person has a white background or black background towards the bottom of the screen, it's not as visible but it is definitely there, it looks funny and I'm wondering if that's just the way it is or is this a defect?
    Thanks,
    -Evan

    I have spots at the bottom and left side of my LCD. First appeared to look as the screen was dirty (and as mentioned by another post, only really visible on light or white background). They are not the same size. Took it to Apple Authorized repair, tech said it looked like the liquid (of LCD) was "leaking." Said he needed to send photo to Apple, Apple denied repair/replacement citing abuse / environmental (excessive heat-cold). Needless to say I am not a happy camper, my MBP is a very pampered laptop, no abuse or exposure to cold/heat extremes. Tech said this could eventually "creep" across screen. On top of that, who wants a computer with a "defective" screen? I have appealed to Apple to reconsider their denial; will post here when I hear back.
