My first 27 inch IMac had to be returned the wireless mouse and keyboard did not function. After about an hour with tech support I was told to return it to apple store. The second Imac is perfect in every way. It is by far the best computer I've owned.
 
Well, unfortunately, I must take back my post of having a "problem-free" imac. I developed a screen flicker the past couple of days and just this morning a crazy graphical error that showed the bottom of my screen in the middle. Recording the screen with Quicktime did not capture the problem when looking at the playback. I will be taking it back to the B&M store I bought it from tonight, since I'm still in my 14day return period. :(
 
Mine's great - had for two weeks now - hasn't been turned off yet. No issues - I'm so happy ordered another, except a Quad for my 2nd one :)
 
Like the OP, I am very interested in what is going on with the 27" iMacs. I'm thinking a Poll might be better for this, as I would be interested in seeing the percentage of 27" iMac owners here that are having issues vs the percentage that are not. When I read this thread, I'm still left wondering how many have issues vs how many don't.

Didn't mean to disrupt...

Mostly people do not post when things are ok. Forums like these get filled with problems 99% of the time.
 
Stock 27", no problems at all.

The display is absolutely amazing - far and away the best I've ever seen. Performance is great.

I do believe there are graphics card software issues. I have an application that stresses the graphics drivers, and it gives clear indications tbat the drivers are not optimized and are probably degrading real-time video performance.

For me, I don't care about the issue because I'm confident that upgraded drivers will fix the problem. And I don't fault Apple for this. Want to see some real graphic driver issues? Browse some forums for graphics cards in PCs.......

This is a tremendous machine, no way I give it up for some early software glitches,

Only problem I have is that now I'm thinking maybe I should return it and get the i5/i7 version.
 
Hello newbie here & first post,
Now had my first mac, a 27" iMac now for 10 days, so far no problems, (hope this doesn't tempt fate) loving it !!!:D.
Runs very fast & very quiet, love the screen, a bit unsure if it was going to be too big, but no - very glad we didn't get the 21".
Having fun learning a new os,short cuts etc & 12 year old daughter giving me
lessons. Even my 9 year old son has learnt how to use garage band with out a problem.
Forums like this are great for a newbie to the world of Mac, maybe one day I will be able to help/give some advice & give something back.

Thank you

Phil
 
Recieved my 27" yesterday. No problems at all so far.
Runs perfect and it's very quiet. My external HDD is twice as loud actually :D

EDIT: Experienced some flicker across the screen today... so it's not perfect after all. Hope it get fixed in 10.6.2.
