Full front, side, diagnol - so sort of looking up from the bottom right to the top left, just so we can see the size, i really need to see this in person. I never thought the 20" looked that big untill i saw it in person, i can only imagine how big this is.

ok I'll take them when I've finished this little bit of work I have.

Thanks mate, really looking forward to these. We have an Apple Reseller near me and they never get in new stock till about 3 weeks after they are released.

Sorry about the image quality, only bedroom light on. Will take them during the day but it will be at the weekend due to Uni!

I used the CD in the first image for a size comparison. Standard dual case (kick ass) cd.

New additions: Samsung 32" LCD, Imac 24".

No I don't see the point either... least I can tell the girls I have over 70 inches in the bedroom :no: .

Man that looks very sweet! Would you my sharing your experience with the tft-panel in the new Imac 24"? I'm thinking in regard to.

- Backlight bleed? if any.

- Compared to the Cinema displays (if possible)

- Dead pixels?

- Effective viewing angle

- Backlight homogenity? brighter/darker in the corners?

Your comments will be greatly appreciated, as i am planning on getting one if the panel-quality i equal to or very close to that of the ACD's.

Thanks

To be fair, I bought it before they one on show at my local Apple store First in Manchester to own one :) ! Therefore I never got the chance to compare it with any real detail towards the ACD's. As for dead pixels there is indeed the one which isn't 'dead' but just in a constant state of bright green, which is only really noticable when surrounded by a black backdrop (most noticable on the front row menu). That was there from the very outset though (Saturday) and I haven't noticed any new ones develop since, so I deem that acceptable.

Viewing angle is very good, if not brilliant. I find it to be almost 170 degrees if not more. I guess it's subjective however as to what is deemed 'viewable'. i can pretty much read the text on the far side of the screen when looking almost across the screen as it where, It's better that my TV anyway.

Backlight homogenity, not noticed any major differences as it where. Apart from:

Backlight Bleed; I have quite a major bleed towards the top right of the screen with an almost yellow appearance, apart from that it is remarkably low. This doesn't concern me 'too' much, the only noticable thing is when in the dark. This for me is not often, hence the lack of a problem.

Check your PM's soon.

Well if its a stuck pixel, you can sometimes fix those on your own by gently rubbing the pixel and in some cases by getting a program that will cycle green blue and red. Also sax, read Apple's dead or stuck pixel policy, I'm not sure what it says but if there is a certain number, they will replace it. And if I were you, get one in the store because you can always ask to inspect it before they sell it to you. I've done that before just to insure there were no dead pixels on my PowerBook.

But like I said, it is possible to repair a stuck pixel on your own, I would though look at a tutorial because I have never had to so I am in no way experienced, lol.

Thanks man, i really appreciate it. And thank you for the backlight pics. :) Now i'm really in doubt whether i should get it or not. I guess i'll need to do so seroius pro's/con's contemplating. As i see it the only thing holding me back is the panel. But it's hard to judge if the problem you've demostrated are noticable in normal lighting?

Thanks again

Humm the thing is i dont really have an Apple shop near me and the reseller i have near me doesnt expect the NUS discount. I have been looking around and the backlight bleeding seems to be a problem with a few people. I will try and sort out a trip to the apple shop to get it :)

If its a serious problem, Apple support (at least in the store) is pretty flexible. The chances of having a bad iMac are pretty slim compared to the chances of having one that is perfectly fine. I'd say go for it and if for some reason there is an issue with yours, then contact Apple.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
