Question: how many inches from the base is the Imac screen?

[Whackintosh]

Trying to get a sense of whether or not the Imac screen may be too tall for my desk, which already has an elevated section for monitor placement. Can someone who has a 24 inch Imac tell me how many inches up from the base the screen is (not counting the lip)?

you mean where does the bottom of the iMac start??

i would say about anywhere from 1-3inches (the screen can swing/bevel). apples website may give you some more accurate specs

No, where does the bottom of the screen itself start, not including the aluminum chin?
