Recieved my custom 4GHz i7 5K Retina iMac only to find what looks to be 3 black scratches on the middle of the screen, inspecting it further it's in the inner layer of the screen, the outside of the glass is flawless it's noticeable on light background or white screen, so could be hundreds or thousands of dead pixels because of the overall size of the resolution, wasnt happy so I called apple care, have to wait another 14 days or so to get the replacement fingers crossed the display on the replacement product isn't defective... Wonder why apples quality control has gone all of a sudden, on my third iPhone 6 plus as well this year... Things shouldn't come out of the factory like this, LCD technology has been around too long for this to happen... There should be a 0% tolerance to dead or defective pixels on panels... Apparently LG makes the panel on the Retina iMac, it doesn't surprise me that there's hundreds and thousands of defective iMac Retina panels out there right now, Apple should go with a quality manufacturers like Sharp or Panasonic.
fingers crossed I don't get another rushed Retina screen, wouldn't be surprised if Apple has so many defective screens because they rushed to get the technology out without properly quality testing going on.
Dont accept any dead pixels on these screens, if youre paying 4 and a half grand for one of these power machines don't accept anything but a perfect screen.
Apple raised the bar with quality computing and mobile technology don't accept anything but what they say they are delivering... If they say it's a gorgeous display then only accept a flawless display that's what they promised you.
