My new 30" cinema display HOT to touch
After a few hours on, this thing gets so hot, it's uncomfortable to touch. I'm not saying it's burning hot or would burn my hand, but it's the hottest I've ever felt a piece of computer equipment. It's not just "warm" or "really warm" - it's
HOT. I'm concerned about all the radiant heat sitting in front of it for typical all day projects for the next few years.
I've been working in front of Mac monitors since 1993, a 22" clear plastic cinema display since 2001(no heat at all), a smaller aluminum case 22" display for over a year at work (slightly warm), and NEVER had a monitor get so hot.
Anyone else had this issue?
The AppleCare phone tech said bring it to the local genius bar but I'm highly skeptical about an involved trip hauling it to the Mall to see the "geniuses", leaving it and going without my computer overnight, so they can touch it after it's been on several hours and say "oh thats normal" and have me drive all the way there to get it back.
