Imac screen marks?

My Computer has some lines on the monitor top left and right corner that are only visibale when the screen is black or off. It is not glare it is always there.

It almost looks like a burn from too much heat or stretch marks under the glass layer. It does not distort the picture at all but looks ugly on a 3 month old system when watching a dark movie or even when the machine is turned off.

Here are 3 pictures the first with a flash, #2 no flash and #3 no flash closeup

Hello mack1time

Looks like maybe the glass panel needs to be cleaned on the inside. It's held on by magnets around the front bezel and can be removed for cleaning with small suction cups.

Have a look at the link below☟

If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, take it to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Service Center and show them!

Hi mack1time,

we are some people here in France experiencing the same screen problem on a 24" iMac. All our units were built in Shanghai between september and october 2007 : what about yours ? And : you say that yours works fine now - could you please be so kind to tell us what you did for it (disassembling it by yourself, having the screen marks fixed by aa Apple Service Center ? Your answer would be very helpfull...
