IMac 24" Pixels

Spoke to soon had my new 24" iMac couple of weeks or so 1 pixel has died & 4 have stuck not happy .. not the end of the word but once you notice them they start to niggle you. Has taken the shine of the product a bit ... can anyone advise if they have fixed dead pixels ? or is a dead pixel dead ?

OK thanks for the replies .. I'm fairly nervous about pressing the screen at all as it seems fairly fragile ... I think i'm going to approach Apple re a return, the unit is only 2-3 weeks old and is already having problems ... I work for HP & use a HP 24" monitor a 5 year old 18" HP monitor & a 15" laptop all have been bashed about a lot & have no dead / sleeping pixels .. which leads me to think the quality of the new 24" panels is not what it should be ..
I will talk to Apple & let you know thanks again for the advise.

    Try these methods while disconnecting all third party peripherals from the system. So ensure that the second display is disconnected from the iMac as well during these procedures and attempt starting the system with nothing but the Keyboard/Mouse plugged in.
    We're going to essentially attempt to reset all the electronics and firmware on board the system to see if we can't get it to restart, let me know if this works for you Neil.

  • New iMac 24" pixel pitch?

    The new iMac puts 1920x1200 pixeles in 24". One of the cinema displays puts 1920x1200 in 23". If aspect ratio is the same, then the iMac display's pixel pitch should be not as good as the cinema display or perhaps even the 20" iMac. Is this correct? If so, 24" owners, does it make a noticeable difference? Thanks

    24" vs 23" - .2692 vs .258, or a difference of 4 percent
    Personal computer users will usually want a .28 pixel pitch or finer (lower number), and on that comparison, if your measurements of 23" and 24" are accurate, both displays are superior to the majority of displays in use.
    Do you believe 4 percent to be noticeable? Those ratios are both within the comfortable range.
    It is hard for me to believe that 23" and 24" are the exact measurements, anyway.
    What are the exact measurements of the displays to which you are referring? With that infomation the pixel pitch can be more accurately calculated.

  • IMac G5 - Pixelated Finder screen

    Hi guys,
    Wondered if anyone can shed any light on this. I keep getting a pixelated finder screen - not all over but as if the screen hasn't rendered properly. It happens infrequently when I boot up in the morning & it also occured when the computer was running the black swirly screensaver - I clicked the mouse & it left a kind of line of black pixels. If I do a re-start it seems to be okay. The compuer itself seems to be running okay - I'm using quark, illustrator, photoshop, entourage etc.
    This morning I had a bit of a scary moment: Booted up & again there were traces of white/grey pixels. When I booted up entourage, it opened as a black image. It allowed me to quit. I went to the finder menu & restart & the restart box came up as as a black box. I clicked in the area where I knew the okay button was & the computer restarted fine.
    Anyone any idea what is going on? Do I need a new graphics card? The computer is only 15 month old. Surely it can't be on it's way out already? We've had some really hot weather - do you think it's the heat?
    Any help greatly appreciated, I'm working for myself here at home & it's a lonely thing when your main business tool starts going a bit wappy!
    Thanks in advance, Mel

    Mine too! Within the last week the screen started flickering and has now settled into an almost monochrome blue. My photoshop defaults are white and blue; even the flurry screen saver is on a field of blue. What gives? The RGB now seems mostly B.
    My iMac g5 17'' display has turn bluish, but when i
    connect an external display it seems fine. Does
    anyone know what's wrong?

  • 24" iMac - bad pixels increasing

    I have one of the first 24" iMacs. It had two pixels stuck white when I received it in Sept 06, but now it has nine. Why are these increasing and at what point is it a warranty issue?

    i'd that's a case for warrenty repair now in my opinion, the fact it's increasing is a bad sign in general

  • 23" imac has pixelated waves across screen then freezes

    I think there is soemthing wrong with the display and anyone has experienced this? I googled and can't find anything to do with this. I don't know what to call it-- wave pixelated display problem?
    The screen suddenly shows waves onscreen and i can't do anytihng except force it to shut down.
    I have 4 gb 800 mhz DDR2 SDRAM. This computer is old, so I am feeling it is a hardware problem. It has happedn 3 times within 3 hours. It started when I tried to go back in Time Machine to retrieve a file. Then, the next forced reboot was the screen above, then the third time was in my husband's log-in.
    I would think I have to make an appt with Apple Genius bar tomorrow.

    Have you even heard about this issue before and help me find proper terms in order to search? That is what I am asking before I haul this heavy machine to the Apple store. The nearest apple store is less than 3 miles.
    I don't have a warranty(long since expired), nor Apple care, etc. This computer is about 4 years old. I don't even know how to describe this in the search to begin with. I did a search on apple's help section and Googling but nothing comes up that matches this issue. You're not helping me by sending me to imac product FAQ.

  • New 2.4GHz Imac Dead Pixels

    I know dead pixels are always an issue. I purchased a PSP and went through the dead pixel exchange over 12 times. I was lucky to get an iphone with no dead pixels, but now I decided to get my first mac. Since the new iMAC came out I decided to get one. I was going to get the mac mini, but when I saw the imac and the power you get for the price I was hooked.
    Anyway I believe I have a defective screen and I think it is just going to get worse. At first the screen did not have any dead pixels, but after about 3 hours of use the first day I noticed a subpixel suddenly was now black. It looks like it is the green subpixel since that is the only color it cannot display. So I said to myself okay I can deal with one dead subpixel since it is on the dock and just placed photo booth over it and I couldn't see it and would be happy with it. Ignorance is bliss. But now the second day I was using the imac and then suddenly 4 more black pixels came near the top left area of the imac. So that is 5 dead pixels now it two days.
    Has anybody had good experiences with returning their mac with dead pixels on their screen? I hoping 5 or more dead pixels is enough, but wanted to get a feel from the forums if I will be just wasting my time or if there is good chance they will replace my imac. Of course I am worried once I return it I will be going through this 12 times like I did with the PSP. Any thoughts?

    Okay I guess the last 4 were not dead, but stuck because I was showing my fiance the dead pixels and I showed her the one on the dock, which is still black, and then I showed her the 4 at the top left. So we decided to scroll through the desktop wallpaper (I had the default blue wallpaper on when the dead pixels appeared) and suddenly the 4 at the top left area disappeared once I went back to the default blue wallpaper. Not sure if they are going to show up again, but as of right now they are not there anymore. I hope they are gone for good. Maybe I wil get lucky and eventually the one at the bottom on the dock will light up again. I will keep my fingers crossed. So I guess a suggestion to those who may experience what I just did, try chaning your wallpaper and see if that makes the pixels come back and if that doesn't work then you can try those popular pixel fixers.
    I will update if more dead or stuck pixels appear or the others come back. I am now not sure if my screen is considered defective or just a late bloomer. I don't want to be a complainer I just want higher standards when it comes to QOS.

  • 27¨ iMac - Dead Pixel Madness!

    Hi,
    Today was a very interesting and exhausting day for me.
    I purchased a new *27¨ iMac* a few days ago, I set it up and I noticed that there is a *dead pixel*, right in the middle of the screen.
    I told myself to live with it but a friend of mine said 'Are you crazy? You paid 2000 dollars for it, go and get a new one.' And I headed to the *Best Buy* store, that I bought my iMac at.
    Customer representative took a quick look at it and said 'Oh that's right. Let's give you another one.'
    I got the new one and asked them to check it for me before I took it home. They opened it and... Yes. That one also had a *dead pixel!*
    He said 'That's unbelievable. Let's get another one'. I got another one, we opened it and... No way! There was two of them! Nobody believed it, people started to laugh and then the supervisor came. She said, 'Sir, I'm so sorry for this but we cannot open another box. Do you want to go to another BestBuy and get a new one there?'. I said OK and went to another store... +(By the way, that meant 'We want to sell the other iMacs with dead pixels to someone who doesn't notice', which is not acceptable in my opinion... Anyway...)+
    As you may guess, the same thing happened! They opened 2 boxes for me and both had dead pixels!
    *2 different stores, 5 iMacs with dead pixels in a row!*
    Supervisor of the other BestBuy store also came to me and said, 'Sir, I'm sorry for this but we cannot open another box. Do you want to go to another Bestbuy and get a new one there?'. I said 'No, please give my money back and I'll go to an *Apple Store* and buy a new one there.'
    They did it and I'll wait 48 hours for my money to be transferred back to my account. In such busy days, I'll spend two days without a computer at home...
    After such a weird day, I began to think if the guys in the Apple Store will open the box for me and try it. And I also wonder if they will exchange it if there's a dead pixel. Does anyone have an idea about this?
    +I know there are some topics about the dead pixel issue, but I think this one is a bit different :)+
    Thanks in advance.

    Here is the update
    I went to an Apple Store and told them my story. The guy that helped me said he had never experienced such an issue before and he said 'OK, let's get you a new one'. He got a box, opened it, turned the computer on and... Yes! One more iMac with a dead pixel, this time in an Apple Store!
    6 in a row! This might be a record! I'll contact Guniess for this soon...
    Then I got another one and finally I found a 27 inch iMac in Los Angeles, without a dead pixel. What a success story, huh?
    Thanks for your replies and be very careful while buying a 27 inch iMac

  • IMac 27 - Pixel Distortions

    Hello community,
    I hope someone can help me out with my bad situation. Since I bought an iMac in April 2010 - I really had NO problems and was so happy with the product.
    Last week unfortunately a strange error happend SUDDENLY.
    After I turned on the iMac, approx. after 30 mins of running a pixel error, distortion are seen on my screen. (Please see attached images).
    I tried out a lot now and I still have these annoying error which I can't get rid of. Working, surfing on the iMac ist not really "possible" anymore.
    My System:
    iMac Intel Core i5 27 inch
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    CPU 2.66 GHz
    Memory 4 GB
    HD 1 TB
    Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 4850 / VRAM 512 MB
    Unfortunately I have no Apple Care anymore.
    What I've done so far:
    - Restarted several times (still getting the errors)
    - Unplugged it two days from power ressource (still getting the errors)
    - Reset of PRAM and VRAM (still getting the errors)
    - Installed all Updates (still getting the errors)
    - Repaired Rights of the Harddrive (still getting the errors)
    - Apple Hardware Test (no Hardware errors detected, but still getting the pixel errors
    - Formated my Hardrive and installed Sow Leopard from the OSX-Installation Disk (still getting the errors) (also after updating all files through Software Update)
    - Reset of Chaches....
    BUT starting the iMac in SAFE MODE - the pixel errors are GONE.
    What's the problem, can anybody help me out? I guess updating to 10.7 (Lion) won't be the solution. That would be too easy.
    Thanks in advice and looking forward to your answers.
    Regards from the alps
    Stefan

    That sounds like an over heating graphics chip, because it seems to starts after around 30 mins.
    Get the iStat Pro widget to monitor and record your iMac's internal sensors, (GPU is for the Graphics Chip) and take some readings every 5 mins or so during that fisrt 30 mins.

    When was the last time you cleaned the iMac's bottom Air Intakes?
    1. Shutdown the iMac
    2. Un-hook everything, power & all other devices
    3. Gently lay the iMac face down on a soft cloth or towel.
    4. Go get out the vacuum cleaner, hose and brush attachment.
    5. Seriously vacuum out the iMac's botton grill work and vents on the back.
    (including under the RAM cover if your incline)
    Now then, take and record some temperature readings?
    Unfortunately if the problem persists, then you will need to take the iMac in for service.

  • IMac dead pixel

    I Think my Imac has a dead pixel. It's the latest iMac 27 inch display and it has a black mark on the screen. If I take it to apple what will they do?

    If I take it to apple what will they do?
    We cannot second guess what Apple will do, however you should go in educated about their policies on dead pixels. They like most manufacturers will not replace a display for a single dead pixel however if there are number of dead pixels that negatively affect the appearance they are likely to replace the display.

  • New 20.5 iMac Stuck Pixels

    On 11/1/09, I purchased a new 20.5 iMac. This is my first Mac and I love the machine. Yesterday, I noticed a red pixel near the center of the screen that is stuck. I'm really bummed out because it really stands out on the screen. Any suggestions?

    I say take it back from where you bought it and ask for extange. I don't care if apple accepts a certan amount of dead/suck pixels but for the price we pay for these iMacs, I find any amount of dead/stuck pixels to be unacceptible!

    Re: Kernel Panic on iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Lion 10.7.1, 4gb RAM
    27-sep-2011 11:53 (in response to jose guzman) Launch the Apple Hardware Test program, run the extended tests at least twice, and then download and run Rember. All indications are that you have bad or flaky RAM.

  • IMac display pixel brightness fail

    Hey, i have a iMac 27inch mid-2010 running 10.8.2. and my problem is that my screen has different light levels around the screen (the left side is darker than the right)
    I have a few pictures off my screen here

    I tried to reset my P-ram by shutting down the computer and starting it up again with CMD+ALT+P+R, but i didn't work.
    Any help is much appreciated

    Take it in for service, the left side backlight is out.

  • IMac screen pixelated and unreadable at startup...what's going on?

    This morning when I started my computer for the day, I noticed that the wallpaper was very pixelated, almost like a transparent Photoshop layer.  When I moved the cursor all I saw was a pixelated box and I was unable to interact with any folders/icons.  I had to turn off the computer using the power button but when I restarted, the screen looked even worse - pink pixels on top and black ones on bottom.  I am having to use my iPhone to post this and while I took a few pictures of the screen I cant figure out how to post them here.  Another restart showed the same thing so I've left it turned off... It was behaving normally just last night!  Can anyone help me, or am I going to have to haul it into my local Apple store?  Thanks!

    It's possible that the GPU is damaged. The only thing you can do is to take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller, so they will tell you if it's a GPU or display issue and the cost of the repair

  • Second 27" iMac with dead pixels

    I'm intrigued to see how many others have purchased the new 27" iMac's and have managed to get one without any dead pixels.
    I am currently on my 2nd 27" iMac and both of them have a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen, first one was black, this second one is red.

    i feel half of ur pain! i got the 21.5" on saturday, and it had a red pixel in the middle of it! i am not gonna live with it and will return it today!
    btw, is there any dead pixel policy?
    It's a fault just like any other type of fault. Your brand new iMac's pixels are all meant to be working. If you receive one where they clearly are not you are right to have it replaced. This is not a PC, it is a top of the range Apple product for which we expect and demand the highest quality. After all, we're paying top dollar (or £) for this level of build and design. Accept nothing less.
    Actually, Apple considers one dead pixel 'within spec'.
    However, if you've only just bought it, you can choose to return it for any reason within 14 days.
