My iMac

[nitynate]

I have a 17" iMac CoreDuo, and would like some extra resolution!


If I got the funds, could I mod my iMac and put this display in?

i've read somewhere that Apple use Samsung displays in their new iMacs, so it looks like it may work, but be wary that it probably won't be a pretty or easy mod. The warranty will definitely be void, so at your own risk.

If you decide to do it, please post pics!

You also have to worry if the Apple drivers will support that resolution... I dunno

Why not just buy it, plug in into your iMac and have two screens?

If you got the funds you should either sell the iMac and use the extra funds to buy a bigger iMac or, use the funds to buy a big secondary display.

I dont have the room for a second display or a bigger display.

Would it look uniform with the iMac once i did the transplant or would it look tacky?

Yes, proceed with caution nitynate. But if it works, that would be a very nice upgrade for your 17" iMac.
