I have received by new 20" 2.4 ghz. iMac. The first thing I did was get out my old magnifying glass and found the following:

1. I think I maybe possibly saw a slight miscoloration in the aluminum on the lower left corner.
2. I possibly maybe (only if I move slightly left) see a single miscolored pixel in the upper right corner.
3. If I peer upwards while sitting below below my computer desk I think I see something (its not been reported yet) in the upper middle part of the screen next to the black border.
4. If I stand on my head looking at the screen I am almost sure the color changes. If stand back up quickly - I know the color changes.
5. If I peer directlly into the screen for more than 30 minutes I know I can see a girl trying to get out. Oh wait that is my daughter walking into the room - damn glossy screen.
6. if I listen closley with no other room noises then i hear something coming from the screen Is it a clicking sound? No wait it is my pulse.

People we all know that Mac's are the best. Why would anyone want to go back to the dark side. Nothing in life is perfect. If look at my wife long enough i wander why oh why did I get her too. Chill and move on. I think the new ones are the best yet.

Send it back. It's obviously faulty.

Why do Apple insist on shipping these dodgy products, eh?

Got mine this morning (17th August) after only 3 days!
Original delivery forecast 23rd August!
Lousy order tracking throughout by Apple/TNT - useless Apple wimp I phoned was limp and impotent regarding delivery schedule:
I know how (expectation extremis) feels (despite my proximity to the grave - I'm 59)...
TNT bastards ('cause they) woke me up from a drunken sleep @11.45am (GMT). I forgive the buggers!. Groggy joy...
Wasn't due till Monday...
I'd been told Monday earliest (subject to change).

This Mac is THE BEST I'VE EVER CARRESSED!!
It's thinner than most 24" screens!
F**K; it's way better than sex - Yes! I know I'm nearly 60! But, Even at 20 I'd have done a Dali ejaculation over this piece of cooperative human genius!
What a marvel - must be the 9th wonder of the world (-though should be the 1st).
What a masterpiece!! How (worryingly) silent...
I expected a blaze of fan noise! My wife loves it, despite the fact she's now redundant. :) - Yes, she loves me that much...

Lol sweet post dude. I feel the exact same way, stop complaining and use your new, beautiful iMac. I went to the apple store and they had a 20'' and a 24'' side by side, and I honestly could not see anything different. Now that I've read about people complaining about the color profile on the 20" imacs I might notice something when I get my 20", which is somewhere on the other side of the world right now.
