They have them also but appears not as many folks notice them, had two machines. Best bet is to have them plug it in before you buy so you can check it out. Pay attention to the bottom and right hand corner. Easy way is to just turn on a machnine and set the background to solid white.

The problem with that is that you have to set up the OS first. I'm not sure what other Apple Stores are like, but there are three in my city, all of which are packed like a sardine can from the moment they open the doors to the moment they kick everyone out, so this is quite inconvenient for both parties.
 
Damn! Just when I was about to settle for my yellow tinged display because none of the many people on here claiming to have perfect displays on here had the balls to post pictures, RobotKiller posted this. I think I'll be exchanging for another one in a couple weeks. :p


Yep, He was brave. Better than those people who said their iMac had no yellow issue but refused to post the iMac screen when asked,

Those people don't know how relieved it will be for people suffering the yellow issue when seeing this kind of posts

If I were RobotKiiler, i would do the same as him.

With all due respect, I don't want to go down the road of trying to prove or disprove this. It's really very hard to capture a full screen using this test without running into normal color shift issues.

This is the best I could do this morning- I'm not going to try anymore attempts. It was shot using a Canon 5D MkII using a 24-70 f/2.8 lens with WB adjusted for lighting. Note that there are compression artifacts and that I did not meticulously set up this shot. This is far from scientific.

You'll have to take my word that this screen is true. I've made myself cross eyed looking for flaws and I'm really not seeing the kind of unacceptable color shift I saw in my old screens.


I believe you since you are brave enough to post the screen pictures and It looks just fine to me
 
iMac #4 is a winner. ...

Thanks for posting this. It made my day. It gives me a lot of hope that iMac #2 might be perfect.

(#1 had mild yellowing but the main problem was the backlight, I'm guessing. There were two horizontal shadows extending across the entire display. Also one dead pixel.)
