Some questions about iMac 27 Late 2012 A1419

[leonthegosu]

Hey everyone,

I have an iMac 27 A1419 Late 2012 i5 2.9 GHZ Model computer. I hit my computer to wall and it broken my lcd corner(black area). Fortunately LCD is fine, only the top black area is broken. Whatever, I want to cover this black area with something. I tried to cover with car window filter its better now.

Are there any lcd protector or filter to cover my broke black area ? I don't want to see broke area.

I want to ask another question. I saw some 27 5K Retina IPS LCD sellers on ebay. I wondered and asked them "Is 5K IPS LCD compatible with my iMac Late 2012 A1419. They said YES

If I buy 5K IPS LCD and replacement with my screen. Is it work with Retina ?

Thank you !

Your best option is to replace the glass, which only costs about $70 on eBay. 5K panel is unfortunately not compatible with your iMac.

His/her iMac is a slim model, so the glass is fused to the display. The glass cannot be replaced separately.

5K panel is unfortunately not compatible with your iMac.

That part is correct.
