Visible square outline on iMac 27" display

This is a tricky one to explain but here goes. I got my 27" iMac a few weeks ago - love it. However, there's one small issue. About a week after I bought it, I noticed that there's an outline of a square on one half of the display - it's very faint but it's definitely there. It can be seen against any background ranging from white to dark grey and can be seen during videos and games if you focus on the area around it.
I tried to take a picture of what I can see and have attached it and tried to outline the issue (it was taken on my iPhone 4 so apologises for the poor quality). It gets even more curious when I found out that this outline is in the same place and size for the Google Chrome app to fit perfectly inside of it and I think the plug may have come out while this app was displayed, but I doubt that would cause this issue.
I have tried Googling this issue but cannot find a single issue to match - I don't really want to go to Apple and explain the issue because they messed up my iPad 2 replacement (even though I now have Apple Care). This issue doesn't ruin my latest Apple purchase because it's a beautiful thing, it would just be nice to know the cause of this issue and if there's a solution.
I would appreciate any advice, help or history on this issue. Thank you, Steven.

Hi Stevey,
Your issue sounds quite similar to mine, except mine fades away again after a short while.

  • Broken iMac display - nothing visible - How to set up external display?

    I have a 17" Core Duo 1.83 with a cracked screen. It boots but I can't see anything thru the cracks. I can access the system in Firewire Target Disk mode, which I used to wipe the HD and reinstall Leopard.
    Is there any way to boot the iMac in Display Mirroring mode, so that I can set it up to use an external display? I have a 22" Dell connected via DVI and would like to use that.
    I guess the ideal would be a keyboard shortcut to use at startup. I've seen on other boards that there is such a shortcut for the Macbook: Command + F4. But it doesn't work with the iMac.
    I also have the Remote Control if that could be any help.
    Would voice commands be an option? If so, how would I activate and use them, given that I can't see anything on the screen? I don't remember ever activating them, so I don't know if they'd be on at the moment.
    My idea is to turn the iMac around with the broken screen facing the wall, then use it with the Dell monitor. Still lots of life left in the iMac with 2GB RAM, works very well with Leopard, still quite fast.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

    Okay, looking good for now!
    I found a thread on Mac Forums. Link: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-desktops/184101-help-broken-imac-external -screen.html
    Guy explains how he solved problem of iMac with broken screen, connected to external monitor; you need a second Mac to do this.
    I quote:
    -- What u need to do is drag the menu bar from the iMac with broken screen in Sys Prefs/Displays to the Ext Display - which of course is not possible. So if you were to connect the damaged iMac by firewire to another Mac with an External display - start the damaged iMac in Target mode by holding T key after powering on. Then start the Mac with Ext Display and hold Option Key and select the damaged Mac to boot off - once that is going go into Sys Prefs/Displays and drag the menu Bar onto the External Display to make it the Primary one. Then shut it all down and connect the Ext Display to the damaged iMac and with luck you will be GO. --
    I cloned my Macbook 10.5.8 system to the iMac HD and made it bootable. Seemed to be working fine. I then shut down both Macs. I connected an external display to Macbook. The Macbook and iMac were still connected via Firewire. I booted the iMac and pressed T, so it booted in TDM. After about 30 seconds I booted the Macbook and pressed Alt: the Macbook's and iMac's disks were available as boot disks. I chose the iMac's disk and waited.... Seemed a long time. But finally the external monitor came to life and I had the whole thing working, more or less.
    The setup was in Extended Desktop mode, with the extended desktop on my external monitor. Luckily, a bit of the top of the iMac's screen was semi-visible, and I was able to open Display Prefs. I selected Mirrored Displays at first and then was able to work on the external display (and not thru the cracks). From here, I unchecked Mirroring and selected the external display as the main one. This worked just fine. I have a 23" full HD monitor and it looked great.
    I then shut down both computers, disconnected Firewire, disconnected the monitor from the Macbook and connected it to the iMac. Then I rebooted the iMac. It booted up a lot quicker, but on startup it went back to Extended Desktop, with the iMac's display as the Main one. Again, I was able to open Monitor prefs, then clicked on Gather Windows, which put the pref window on the external monitor desktop too. Again, from there, I could make the external monitor the Main one.
    Question: is there any way to make the iMac boot to where the external monitor is the Main desktop all the time and by default?
    If not, maybe the worst case scenario is that I have to set display prefs to Mirrored before shutting down. Then after startup I could just make the external one the main display again.
    Many thanks David.
    P.S. forgot to say that when I set the external monitor as the Main one in display prefs, it all worked okay, except that when I opened System Preferences, the window opened on the iMac's screen, not the external one.
    Is there a setting to make all windows, in all apps, open on the Main display?

    says:
    How do I enable TDM?
    Make sure both computers are turned on and awake. 
    Connect a male-to-male Mini DisplayPort or ThunderBolt cable to each computer.
    Press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac being used as a display to enable TDM.
    Note: In Keyboard System Preferences, if the checkbox is enabled for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard functions keys," the key combination changes to Command-Fn-F2.
    How do I exit TDM?
    To leave TDM, press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac that is in TDM. You can also exit TDM if you shutdown or sleep either computer or detach the cable.
    Can I use a third-party keyboard or older Apple keyboard to enable TDM?
    Some older Apple keyboards and keyboards not made by Apple may not allow Command-F2 to toggle display modes. You should use an aluminum wired or wireless Apple keyboard to toggle TDM on and

    Hi Larry. I see. It is a file I have worked on previously, and the font is Myriad which I though came with the system. I just changed to Myriad Pro and the pink box disappeared. Thanks for the assistance, I know a new thing!

  • Using iMac as display.

    Has anyone had any experience with this? I ultimately want to get a PS3 and use my iMac to display it. It runs HD video from eyetv and downloads fine.

    I use one of these

    but the input is composite (RCA connections) or S-Video. Not sure if that's what you are looking for.

  • IMac 24" display vs. 23" Cinema Display

    I'm hoping to get a new Mac for graphic design at work. I'd love to get a tower unit and 23" display, but I may need to save the company money and go for the iMac with maximum RAM. At home, I have a 20" Cinema Display with my G5 and a 17" iMac (all just prior to Intel conversion). The iMac display doesn't look as good as the Cinema Display.
    Can anyone tell me how the latest iMac 24" display compares with a 23" Cinema Display, as far as quality of what you see? Is the graphics card the determining factor?

    I can understand your predicament. The 24" iMac is a wonderful machine, but the Mac Pro is a creative dream machine that many in the industry rely on day in and day out.
    As far as the display quality between the two, they both carry the same standard Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT graphics card with 256MB of GDDR3 VRAM. So the quality of the graphics card should not matter much.
    In display size, the iMac has the clear advantage with one extra inch, and to tell you the truth, I think the quality of ANY display apple puts in their computers is superb. I for one, have a 17" iMac Core Duo (Early 2006) as my desktop and I feel that the display is great.
    Also look at the fact that the 2.33Ghz processor available in the iMac is really quite close to the 2.66Ghz in the Mac Pro, although you get twice the power in the tower machine.
    Unless you do a lot of heavy graphic design processes everyday, I would save the office some money and go with the 24" iMac. It really is a great value for a graphic designer.

  • MacMini to iMac 27" Display

    Can I connect an older Mac Mini (approx 2007) to a new iMac 27" display - I am about to purchase one but in doing so will be removing the PC/LCD monitor...
    So what options do I have or is this a non-starter?

    Which is why I suggested that I need the newer product:
    Note for iMac 27" users only: Even our box is capable of passing high resolutions up to 1920x1200, users of iMac 27" will only be able to get picture with resolutions up to 1280x720 (720P). The reason for it is that iMac 27" native resolutions are: 800x600, 1280x720 or 2560x1440 (since our box is limited to single link (1920x1200), and can't work with 2560x1440 it will take the next resolution down the list which is 720p. *We are working on AT-DP400 which will allow dual link resolutions (such as 2560x1440) to pass though*. For PS3 or Xbox users, you can use our converter without additional devices at only 720p resolution. Make sure to set 720p prior connecting it to the DP200.

    My imac screen display is unfocussed, odd coloured and blurred (caused by rogue cate walking over keyboard).  I have no idea what settings have changed or what to check.  Any ideas?!

    It could be a number of keyboard shortcuts, here's a few.
    If the screen is zoomed,  hold CNTL and scroll down with mouse or trackpad.
    If screen looks like a negative,  hold down CNTL OPT CMD and click 8.
    Let us know how what other symptoms are shown.

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    I'll presume that you can adjust the brightness after bootup. If that display preference is kept in PRAM, it's possible that the PRAM battery is wearing out.
    Here's what Apple says about what's stored in PRAM:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1242
    To test that possibility, turn off "Set date and time automatically" in the Date & Time panel of System Preferences (if it's set), shut down and unplug your Mac, then let it sit for a few minutes. When you reboot it, check the system date and time. If the PRAM battery is failing, those may be set incorrectly.
    iFixit describes replacing the PRAM battery of an iMac G5 as of "moderate" difficulty. See these pages:

  • Use iMac as display from other source

    Hi,
    I have iMac 27" with thunderbolt connectivity in it. Is it possible to connect an external computer (with or without a converter) to use the iMac's Display? If possible, kindly let me know how.
    Thanks & Regards

    make sure to get the right converter thou. If you want to connect your ps3 (example) via hdmi, there is a difference between a "minidisplayport to hdmi" and a "hdmi to minidisplayport". If you want to get input via hdmi you will need the "hdmi to minidisplayport" converter.
    edit: cmd+f2 on the one you want to use as a monitor.
    edit:
    http://www.apple.com/thunderbolt/ :
    And because Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology, the video standard for high-resolution displays, any Mini DisplayPort display plugs right into the Thunderbolt port. To connect a DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA display, just use an existing adapter.
    EDIT: after some googleling it seems that X423424X is right.

  • IMac Retina Display with CS6

    I just got an iMac Retina display monitor and my Creative Suite 6 applications all have blurry/pixelated text. I have tried to install the patch updates but still not luck fixing this issue. Is this a mac issue or adobe creative suite 6 issue?

  • Drawing a square outline?

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to produce in FCE HD the outline of a box superimposed upon a sequence? What I need are thin white lines in the form of a square outlining the sequence. I checked under video generator / shapes, but couldn't find anything that would produce a square. I thought about Mattes, but really don't know enough about it. I have no dexterity at all with Photoshop. I have photoshop elements, but again, I don't really use it. If that's the way to go, would someone be willing to explain how I can create a square that's not filled?
    THANKS!!

    Ian,
    Basic Border and Bevel create borders around the full frame of the sequence.
    May be this is just what Ira needed...
    My attempt with Photoshop was to create border shapes of any size to superimpose to any portion of a clip. But I ran into that very bad problem.. now I'm very suspicious about ANY import of pictures to FCE (something I did often in the past).
    Joe's filters include a quite powerful generator of shapes
    http://www.joesfilters.com/joesshapes.php
    that is part of a package I never tried, but seems professional to me. Just not very cheap.
    So I'm working at something homemade. I already have a beta version: sounds promising. If anybody is interested let me know...

  • I can't calibrate any color profile for my iMac's display!

    I think I accidentally deleted the color profile for my iMac's display
    and now it won't let me calibrate any profile! All the colors are bright and washed out.
    When I go to the display>color preference panel I get an error sound whenever I click ANY color profile, and it doesn't load. When I click "calibrate" it gives me the message: "Can not calibrate the display. The factory profile for the display could not be found."
    But I wasn't even using the factory profile, and it won't let me choose any other ones, either (though a whole list does show up!)
    I tried repairing/verifying the profiles in the ColorSync Utility, but it didn't help.
    Is there somewhere I can download the profile and install it? I'm running a white 20" Core Duo 2GHz iMac (summer of 2006), if that helps.
    Thanks!

    seenew,
    I'm wondering if you would have any luck with resetting the PRAM? PRAM settings hold some of the display preferences I believe.
    See: "Mac OS X: What's stored in PRAM"
    If not, I am wondering if reapplying the Combo update for 10.4.7 might correct the display calibration issue or at least return it to the default?
    I don't think that recreating the .plist file for displays will help.
    As far as I know you cannot "download" the profile.
    sorry if those suggestions don't help,
