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.

    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      I haven't paid for windows since windows 8. So I guess I would be happy to pay for a new version if it meant seeing fewer adverts (none) or product pushes. But that applies to _any_ service or OS.

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Mockingbird · Posted

      For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you. Supplies of memory is unpredictable because AI using up a lot of memory. As a result, there is a lot of volatility in video card prices.
