Lines are here to stay

Apple discussions so far

Your intel-based iMac Display at apple discussions shows quite some activity going on.

As of December 30, Lines on display is officially a locked topic with replies not allowed. A really interesting way to solve a problem.

Topic seems to continue on this other topic with some user wondering why an unsolved topic gets locked.

iMac LCD screens failing en masse

There's an article on macnn.com dated november 30 2007 accompanied with the following picture. This is what my iMac can and will end up looking like.

From the text: 

Users who take their iMacs in for service at the Apple Store are being quoted prices of more than $700.

LCD display with vertical lines issue

There exists an Online Petition for Apple inc. to acknowledge this problem and solve it in some way.

I'm signer 268 and since mine there have been ten more signatures added.

The petition reads:

To: Apple Inc.
We, the undersigned, request that Apple Inc. officially acknowledge and address the defect in their LCD Displays. The defect causes vertical lines (cyan/yellow/pink) to appear cutting through the screen and multiplying as time goes by. Unfortunately, the problem starts to appear right after the end of the one year warranty. This problem has been filling up the Apple's online discussion forum and with no possible solution. We are the loyal Apple fans and would love to see Apple show its appreciation by stepping up to this issue.
