Yellow tinge from bottom to top of the screen, 27" iMac

Have you done the Grey Bar Cut & Paste Test on both?

Try It!
Grey Bar Test:

Take a picture with your Camera of the Horizontal Grey Bars & another Picture with the Vertical Grey Bars.
Theses bars can both be found Here:

Copy Both Pictures from your Camera to your iMac.

Open Up your picture you took in "Preview"
With the Mouse Select the entire Left Grey Bar
Go To File, Copy,
Go To File, Paste
Now Drag the Copied Section to right next to the Right Grey Bar
Go To File, Paste
Go To File, Save As…
Give the Picture a NEW Name

* Do Same with Horizontal Grey Bars.

Again, if you can't see the difference in all Apps you use, then I would keep it. But...there is a definite difference from top to bottom. Have you done the vertical Bar Test also. I bet you it's different from side to side as well. Mine is!

Here are Vertical Grey Bars:

Sorry Dino if your talking to me I have both pics up, interesting the top and bottom look so different yet the side to side don't. Wondering if even angle of photo might have changed abit to make this difference.
I also dulled the brightness quite abit for both, when looking at just a white screen it looks good.

How do you do the pixel test

jacqueline & rebootnow, There are no perfect Screens being made.

Dino, just for the record... that grey bar test I posted was for the Dell U2711 that's being discussed on the hardforum.com thread.

My iMac was returned the day after I received it. Now I'm on the hunt for an alternative.

It's me again guys. I couldn't make it to the Apple Store to replace the screen and my iSight yesterday. I have made another appointment for this Saturday.

I kinda see the yellow on my screen in safari, but keep looking at it every time I use the **** machine...

I know that the new MBP's i5 are around the corner, and thinking.. do I just have them refund me for this or keep it.

It's really a great machine. I am now regretting selling my old MBP for this. Even today, I have pre-ordered an iPad for my wife.. go figure.

Below are new pictures without the reflection.

What do you think Dino? Everyone?

Oh yeah! Right! I forgot. Thank God that was not your Screen! 🙂

Bennie, If you keep look at it. Get either the Screen replaced, a Swap out (exchange) or a Refund. You will never be able to live with it. And then you'll kick yourself, for not doing something when you could.
Get rid of it! If you see it, while using the iMac, It's NOT acceptable. Of course, these are just my Rules & my Opinions. 🙂 Good Luck! Btw, I can definitely see the difference in Grey Bars.

In another thread there was this person that said it would have been easier for me to apply both firmware updates then to return all 4 of the yellow iMacs. He thought that the firmware updates fixed the flicker and yellow. LMFAO

I politely asked this 14 year old kid who posted an iMac Unboxing if he tested his. He replied, nothing was wrong with his. So I asked again, but did you run the Grey Bar Tests? So he replies I told you the first time, nothings wrong. What an idiot. He never said he did any test, just that is had no problems. Ignorance sure is Bliss! 🙂

Now we have a new protocol for any new computer bought: the grey bar test or else you are an idiot. Prior to a few months ago, no one heard of the grey bar test. Calling a 14 year old an idiot for not adherring to an arbitrary and optional test is...well, I do not even need to say it.

I will listen to your husband advice, your iMac is fine.

Go to the squeaked iMac site look at my post here I have posted the site. Also there is only a cetain pixel count taken into consideration, but looking at your screen is fine, I would enjoy my machine the way it is, pixels I would worry to much about them if you have not spot one yet then it's fine. If you want me to tell you I have one dead pixel in my machine when I put it in a black background, and one dust spot underneath the glass.
I could barely find them also, the dead pixel is not even noticeable, so is the dust spot I have to be milimeters off the screen to look for them, I have to be almost touching my nose on the screen.
